Re: Jerry Seinfeld: "Movie Business Is Over"
The audience that would be, "hey let's go to a movie Friday," then walk up and literally see what was playing -- that audience is gone. Completely gone. So you have fanboy-driven IP's which appeal to kids and teens and is built-in. Book your seats in advance, you know when you're going to...

Re: Jerry Seinfeld: "Movie Business Is Over"
"I haven't gone to a theater since TOP GUN". Well, that's me! I thought -- naively -- that Top Gun 's popularity as a "big screen popcorn experience" might jump-start and restore movie-going, but it didn't really. A number of months ago I stopped to get something to eat in a nei...

Re: rate the last movie you saw
The Three Musketeers: D'Artagnan (6/10) How many times are they going to remake this story? Ok, I'll accept than an actual French adaptation of a story written by a Frenchman is valid. But this is a very uneven movie which ultimately doesn't work. First the good. This film is visually sumptuous, wi...

^^ I'd hazard a guess Ridley Scott won't be casting Brian Cox in his films anytime soon.

Re: rate the last movie you saw
The Ten Commandments (9/10) My first viewing in five years. DeMille's picture remains one of great epics -- biblical or otherwise -- and every subsequent epic, Ben-Hur, Spartacus, Lawrence of Arabia, Gladiator , et all -- stands on its shoulders. I reviewed it in detail after my previous screening ...

Re: Andy's Youtube Uploads - Post-Siskel & Ebert SNEAK PREVIEWS Archive Unearthed
This week is a good show -- imagine THE WARRIORS, THE GREAT TRAIN ROBBERY and HARDCORE all in theaters at the same time. A whole different universe than the crap sent out to audiences today. I liked The Warriors myself, but (as you probably recall Andy) was laughing during much of Hardcore ! I agre...

I know that Kingdom of Heaven was not improved by the restoration of footage. I doubt it will help Napoleon.

Re: STAR WARS: ICONS UNEARTHED Documentary with Rare Marcia Lucas Interview
Incredible she had to tell Steven and George to shoot the RAIDERS ending with Indy and Marion that was scripted -- yet they felt they didn't need it! :lol: :lol: People tend to assume the writer and director come-up with all the ideas, but in reality the director is working with a bunch of creative...

....as was the snubbing of Bernstein for a Best Score nomination, though I don't quibble with the posthumous Oscar given to Victor Young). I suspect it had something to do with Bernstein having been grey-listed in Hollywood for several years (from which he was rescued by DeMille). Of course as valu...
