Re: Did you all skip the Oscars telecast too?
I haven't watched the Oscars in decades...I could care less what or who Hollywood thinks is deserving of an award. Complete waste of time for me.

Re: This Week's Column: March Madness Edition
I might have to purchase THE SHINING. While I have enjoyed Kubrick's film immensely for what it is, I agree that the TV miniseries is way more poignant and "believable". In retrospect, from what I remember, the miniseries did a much better job in adapting the novel into something to watch....

Re: DUNE 2: SOMETHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN THIS TIME - November 3rd
You don't need to read the book to understand the dynamic in their relationship isn't balanced. They love each other for a couple of minutes but are at one another the rest of it. I don't want to blame Zendaya entirely but I got awfully tired of her ticked-off expression in nearly every scene of th...

Re: DUNE 2: SOMETHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN THIS TIME - November 3rd
That's one of the worst scores I've ever heard. Period. :lol: I am completely with you on that...I do not understand why people think that qualifies as music. It is noise....loud noise (important moment in slow-motion...time to insert blaring chord and make sure the film editors turn it up full vol...

Re: DUNE 2: SOMETHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN THIS TIME - November 3rd
Thank you Michael for the astute review! I am checking it out tonight during "Bargain Tuesday" so I'm ready to give it an unbiased spin. I should warn you Andy that colors are very muted in the film (and the stuff on Geidi Prime is basically in black and white color). I think maybe you (o...

Re: DUNE 2: SOMETHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN THIS TIME - November 3rd
Long and short of it, I mostly liked Dune Part Two (there will be a Part Three which will be his take on Dune: Messiah). Spoilers ahead : First and foremost, Hans Zimmer is the s**ttiest so-called "composer" on the face of this planet. His noise sounds like an elephant farting in an echo c...

Re: Arrow Releasing CONANs in January; 4K Box $42
Just received my box set and watched the 130 minute version. Man...this movie brings back memories...specifically watching it at a friend's house on HBO that he stole from the neighbor's feed (back in my day you could turn the TV dial to a place in-between two channels which would somehow allow you ...

Re: DUNE 2: SOMETHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN THIS TIME - November 3rd
I am just hoping it delivers the goods...I know I am in the minority on this board, but I absolutely loved the first half of the story. So far, IMO, the filmmakers are doing right by the book(s)...hoping they finish strong. Not reading any reviews or watching any clips as I want to go in as obliviou...

I have never seen this movie - it just didn't look good at the time.

Re: This Week's Aisle Seat - A Smashing CONAN 4K Double Bill
I had the cassette of the Conan the Destroyer score back in the day...listened to it a couple of times before it ended up in a cassette case somewhere never to be heard from again. Lol...the score for Conan the Barbarian is a completely different story. I remember when Varese released an expanded ve...

Really looking forward to getting this set...alas, mine will not be here until late February. Better late than never I suppose!

Re: Changes to Amazon Prime Video (i.e. ads)
Sorry to hear this is happening...they will always figure out a way to try to get more money out of you! Frankly, this whole thing seems to me to be unethical and a grave disservice to customers...total middle finger to the consumer and a worshipful stance towards money in our "attention econom...

Re: GODZILLA "Monsterverse" Spinoff Series Coming to Apple+
Okay...maybe I should just stick to the movies and do a hard pass on the show.
