Re: Rate The Last TV Show Episode You Watched

In contrast The Road Warrior gets no more than two or three minutes of coverage, which is pretty unforgivable considering how influential it was -- and that it was a big hit despite being a sequel to a film almost no one in America saw. The original Mad Max made $100 million! https://screenrant.com...

Re: "These Aren't the New STAR WARS Movie Announcements You've Been Waiting For"

The appeal of the original Star Wars in 1977 was due, in large part, to it being so UNcomplicated and black & white, coming towards the tail end of a decade where real life was so consistently awful (crime, poverty, mistrust of government due to Watergate, ect.). Now that we've emerged from an e...

Dude's fifty, but still looks like he's thirty-five (and he's still physically spry).

Who are these FETUSES in the cast...? https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/split_5_16x9_template_v1-copy.jpg?w=1296&h=730&crop=1 We've come a long way from the days a sci-fi movie cast could look like this: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BNjIyODEzYTItZjY3Ny00M...

Re: GHOSTBUSTERS: FROZEN EMPIRE - Trailer

This one checks so many boxes and has so many cast members its amazing it isn't 3 hours long. Plus half the scenes in the trailer aren't in the movie which is an obvious sign of trouble typically. There you go. :P I'll see this...but not until the middle of next week. No burning desire whatsoever. ...

Re: GHOSTBUSTERS: FROZEN EMPIRE - Trailer

Sure sounds like a side-splitting laugh riot, huh? :?

Somehow we've gone from a movie featuring Dan Akyroyd crossing his eyes while getting a spectral BJ into a movie about teen suicide.

Re: New James Bond: Aaron Taylor-Johnson Next in Line?

I don't care who they cast, as long as they let Bond...be Bond, instead of a scowling bore who spends five movies straight moping over his dead girlfriend. :? We want FUN and ESCAPISM again.

Re: INDIANA JONES & THE DIAL OF DESTINY To Rival "John Carter" As Disney's Biggest Bomb

I'm happy as hell that Quan's making a legit return to acting. :) Having him and Indy on a new adventure would have been so much better than seeing a gaunt, frail-looking John Rhys-Davies being reduced to Indy's Uber driver. :(

People giving me crap about being "factually wrong" about the Dial Of Destiny reshoots on Twitter. :roll: It's been almost a year, the movie bombed, they can 'fess up already!
