While I strongly disagree with you on EPISODE III, Michael, following WAR OF THE WORLDS -- why would an INDY IV be much better left in Spielberg's hands? I think Spielberg has a better track record. Lucas has spent his entire life on one series of films- STAR WARS . Yes, he made THX-1138 and AMERIC...

Saw a release date for this on Amazon for September 13- looks awesome!

Bad news -- the 1st Season COSBY SHOW box set is entirely comprised of cut, syndicated 21-minute episodes. NOT the original broadcast length NBC versions, which is what they infuriatingly promised in their press release!! :evil: I'm hoping this was a mistake or something on those lines. It's VERY u...

Apparently Lucas is thinking of dusting off YOUNG INDIANA JONES -- as a feature film, to coincide with the possibility (if it ever gets done) of INDY 4 and the upcoming DVD release of the old Young Indy series: Hopefully the prospective film will be better than the old show, which was earnest and v...

Even then I'm not so sure I'll be spending my cash on this either. Quite honestly, I'd rather sit through SUPERMAN IV again (as bad as it is) than the BATMAN movies, even the good ones. They don't lend themselves to repeat viewing IMO -- the Burton films are clearly the best but I've just had littl...

[quote="AndyDursin Are/were you on vacation? I'm not surprised, I still think there are many theaters in THIS country where the "theatrical experience" is less than stellar. As much as Landis told me this in an interview the other day, and Spielberg says it has nothing to do with the ...

Interesting- what was the falling out? The whole TWILIGHT ZONE THE MOVIE deal (Vic Morrow and two children were killed on the set, Landis was tried and found innocent). Formed the basis of Steven Farber's OUTRAGEOUS CONDUCT book...I'm not sure they ever "made up," and it certainly hurt La...

After a slow start he DID open up near the end. It was nice to hear him say the EXACT same thing I did about WAR OF THE WORLDS -- specifically how that "probe" effect was ripped off from THE ABYSS (where's that guy from the FSM board now?) and how lousy the story was. (Granted I know he a...

Bay had apparently lined up a lot of interviews yesterday anticipating another no. 1 opening, and from the ones he actually went through with, such as the L.A. Times ones, he's blaming everyone but himself - lack of stars, bad marketing (despite being Dreamworks biggest ever ad spen apparently), et...

I also enjoyed CHARLIE and agree that the trailer made it look worse than it was. As a matter of fact, the trailer does a huge disservice to this film- it was thoroughly entertaining and a bit touching. I loved the Oompa-Loompas and the songs- it sounded like Elfman was allowed to let himself go and...

Elfman has done too many comic book films and his hiring was a completely uninspired choice -- resulting in OK scores that just didn't have the "joy" and memorable themes that the movies should have had. I agree with you, Andy. But when was the last time you heard any comic book movie wit...

I had the same reaction to the movie the second time around with you Mark -- it was good but there's something holding it back (the draggy "action filled" last 45 minutes) that prevents it from being anything more than a competent genre movie, despite the fantastic effects work on "S...

Right!!!!

...and a movie second? Fox's THE OMEN 666 is now in production for release on (when else?) 6/6/2006. According to USA Today, "casting is underway" and filming will begin shortly in Budapest. Now, I'm not going into a rant about remaking a "classic." Quite honestly I've enjoyed T...

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. And whenever I see those ads with Ewan McGregor, I keep on expecting him to say "But you were the frozen one!" When I first heard of Bay doing THE ISLAND, I thought it was a remake of the Peter Benchley flick :) In hindsight maybe that would have resulted i...
