Oh, I dunno. . .

:twisted: Hey, how about casting some way beyond their 15 minutes in the roles? Might as well go all the way and pull a Bialystock: Michael Rennie-Ashton Kutcher Patricia Neal-Britney Spears Hugh Marlowe-Colin Farrell Lock Martin-John Tesh Sam Jaffe-Ryan Seacrest and Yancy Butler as the Beaver!

And this is a bad thing?

:D You mean you actually lived an AIRPLANE! experience-the scene where Barbara Billingsley is watching the inflight movie and the shot we see is of a jetliner crashing in flames??!! What a hoot! Now it would really be funny if you were on a plane bound for DC while watching EXECUTIVE DECISION. . . A...

Ol' Steve

:? UNDER SIEGE will always be Segal's best film. Why? Because he played someone close to human for once, and he had a great supporting cast to keep him on his toes. I've always liked EXECUTIVE DECISION for one sick reason: when I saw this film opening weekend, the audience actually cheered when Sega...

A little disagreement can be healthy. . .logged in again!!!

:D Eric, you and I have had some major disagreements in the past, but I would defend to the death your right to say them, as I know you would for me. I would rather have you at my back fighting the Cylons than some people who agree with me all the time-you don't suffer fools easily, thank God! While...

Some extra thoughts

:? I know that WHV did bring out a nice DVD of 'TIL THE CLOUDS ROLL BY (too bad the film isn't that special), and that TCM does have nice copies of LIFE WITH FATHER and ROYAL WEDDING, so maybe if they do a William Powell or Astaire box they will be included. A few more that I'd like to see redone: O...

Some suggestions for remastering

:x MAD, MAD WORLD-the Arclight in Hollywood showed a 70mm restoration of the roadshow version a few years back, which included all the cut scenes and even the intermission radio broadcasts (evidently from the Kramer estate). I think the shots that looked weird were from either a 16mm print or a flat...

See IWO JIMA as well

:) Andy, you're opinion of FLAGS has a lot of merit. I saw it one night a few weeks ago and was not disappointed, but I found myself getting "pulled out" of the film by the flashbacks and flashforwards.' Then I saw IWO JIMA the following day and FLAGS clicked into place for me and both the...

Any re-release date for SUPERMAN Ultimate box set?

:? Has a re-release date been set for Warner's ultimate SUPERMAN set? I was all set to get it but with the goof up on two of the films I decided to wait but have yet to hear of a firm date for its release (sometime this month, I thought). Any word?

Arias I would look forward to. . .

:D I think the following scenes and their arias would be true camp classics:

1) The maggot birth scene

2) The medicine cabinet inventory scene

3) The maiming of the ex-boyfriend

and ultimately: 4) The execution finale.

Don't know about you, but I smell Tonys!

Best film of 2006. . .is from Eastwood

:D Only saw seven films last year that stood out. Here they are in ascending order: 7) MISSION IMPOSSIBLE 3-Cruise was human, it had a great villain (watch this film a few times Barbara Broccoli!) and some of the best action pieces I've seen in a long time. 6) INSIDE MAN-Lee's first director-for-hir...

Media storage

:shock: There is always Netflix, as well. I recently pared down my collection after deciding that a great many of the titles I had are ones that I do not watch very often and if it didn't have a major extras, it was outta here! A friend has access to copying software, and if I really want to keep it...

Bond memories

:lol: My first Bond in a theater was YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE when I was 9 years old. My father and I were on a camping trip and decided to see a movie in the local town that night. The town was Defiance, Ohio and YOLT was showing. I had no idea who James Bond was but I did love going to movies so we wen...

Some Bond and film collecting stuff

:) Sorry, Eric but the worst Bond film still is MOONRAKER. When they used the CE3K tones as a security code, I literally threw my popcorn box at the screen. Didn't hit anyone-theater was only 1/3 full. And making Jaws a good guy? Puhleeeze!! Actually I feel LICENCE TO KILL is the only one of the Dal...

Do I have one of these 1st pressing discs? If so-I'm glad. It's a helluva movie and one of the few tr...
