No, mfm did that.

Nope. The characters after the original run looked dumb and the ‘lore expansion’ was convoluted and unnecessarily deep. I mean, you can like all that, opinions are opinions, I just don’t think anything after the originals are worth their plastic. And I’m someone who was in love with all the toys and all three movies back ten years ago.

I’m actually a big fan of the official flash game animations and comics from those first few years.

Can you not afford the BD sets or a drive?

It’s not that. I do have the Blu-Ray sets on my shelf, but it’s impossible to rip them.

Why? Can’t MakeMKV just take 'em out? I’m just curious what the issue is.

Funnily enough, a DeLorean was genuinely involved.

Well, this print just jumped to 11 on the cool scale.

The best Lego series was by far Bionicle (2001-2003, not 2004-2016). That is all.

FTFY

Also, Lego Adventurers was a great series from 1998-2003.

Great horror. Well made, beautifully shot, effective and frightening.

I guess the really bad American dub of Mad Max has vanished off the face of the Earth?

The DVD I watched had it as an option. I quickly avoided it in favor of the original mono.

^It would also be in the immediate following film. 😛

In the opening scene when we see the Gyro Pilot steal Max’s crap, I thought he was going to find him and confront him, with them then recognizing each other. But instead it takes most of the movie for him to show up again, and Max never says he’s mad at him for taking his ride, and there’s never any indication that they recognize each other.

Bruce Spence’s character from Beyond Thunderdome isn’t meant to be his character from Road Warrior.

While traveling in the desert in his camel-drawn vehicle, Max is overtaken by a small methane-powered plane flown by the freewheeling bandit Jedediah and his son. Although the two characters bear no relation to each other, Jedediah is played by Bruce Spence, who was the much-loved Gyro Pilot in Road Warrior. Jedediah succeeds in taking off with all of Max’s worldly goods, leaving the hero to perish in the desert.

That’s dumb. Why not take a perfect opportunity and make it the same guy? That actually makes it worse.

Fantastic. Very few problems. Great movie.

Also great, but I liked the first one more. I think this one just dragged a tiny bit at places. And where did everyone get those hockey pads?

I liked some things in it, but this one was a hot mess. I never felt like there was a coherent goal, and stuff just sort of happened. In the opening scene when we see the Gyro Pilot steal Max’s crap, I thought he was going to find him and confront him, with them then recognizing each other. But instead it takes most of the movie for him to show up again, and Max never says he’s mad at him for taking his ride, and there’s never any indication that they recognize each other. The one stand out scene that I really liked was at the end of the fight with Blaster.

Also, the costuming gets even weirder in this one because for some reason, destroyed civilization and no gasoline means nobody tries to hold on to modern fashion and style sensibilities. And then when they get on the train the little man somehow gets an 1800s style suit and bowler hat.

'Twas great. Really fun movie. Wish I watched when I was younger.

Well, you can’t find reruns of The Cosby Show on tv anymore either. And it was pulled long before the current court case ended.

I know I saw it on network TV at least late last year if not more recently.

Pretty much perfection. Great story. Great camera work. The Mario Brothers were ridiculously evil, and I loved it. I also love

spoilage

when a depressing or horrifying ending is accompanied by grand or happy or lighthearted music. It’s also hard to tell if it really is depressing, because he has found happiness in his own delusion after all.

Very good movie. I don’t have much else to say I guess. Someone posted about it in this thread a while ago (don’t remember who), so I decided to check it out. Glad I did.

I don’t know if the UK is identical to the US. It needs a delay also because the mgm logo is cut out. PM me for the file though.

Han……………SOLO: A Star Wars Story - 5/10

I disagree but will respect your opinion.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind - 7/10

Oh, to hell with you!

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I used to like it a lot more, but I just wasn’t feeling it this time. I’m fickle, I could like it more again next time I watch it.

The director’s cut is better.

This.

Have you seen the V2 of the scan? It has less washed out colors, though I still prefer the V1 because of the other contrast and framing adjustments they made to V2.

😄

Congratumatations! Hope the future keeps looking brighter for you!

I give it four Rick McCallum’s out of five.

That doesn’t sound like a positive rating…

I didn’t know that. I assumed the creator gave him the personality.

snooker said:

Ha ha funny chimichanga! Fourth wall! Random equals funny, right!?

I think Rob Liefeld is worse at writing characters than he is at drawing them.

I agree. What’s wrong with framing it so that the nudity is out of frame, rather than ridiculously obscuring the dong in frame? Shot’s from behind or any other way they can just show the important information never distracts me.

What possessed you to say that?

I was possessed by Possessed to mention Possessed.

It’s weird to be cool with violence and be bothered by nudity…in general. Context matters, see my complaints about Blade Runner 2049. In a vacuum I think violence is much more problematic, but nothing exists in a vacuum other than dirt and a bunch of dog fur.

Violence doesn’t cause sexual temptation (usually), which nudity might. That’s the bigger issue for Christian viewers.

Christians should be able to control themselves but what do I know.

I don’t see boobs and immediately have sexual desire and start doing my taxes.

I will say that it has happened though.
