I have nostaligia for the mid-to-late 90's ... I owned a lot of comic books back then.

I'd just like to lay it out flat that I am not - in any way, shape, or form - a woman; not in body, not in mind.

Not in this universe, anyway.

I wouldn't watch this movie even if Bruce Campbell were playing Loki.





















Okay ... maybe I would.

I'd like to make a frog legs joke, but I'm afraid that if I do so, I'll end up being on the receiving end of a neutron bomb explosion.

So I take it this book is going to elaborate on Obi-Wan learning from Qui Gon in his exile on the wastelands of Tatooine? For that fact alone I shall be giving it a miss thank you. Just the mere mention and thought of that supposed 'character' makes me look like I'm sucking on a lemon.

Oh fudge. I got DP'd.

That quote with that avatar so works for me.

I find it funny that when I search for Heather Langenkamp pictures on Google Images, among the results I get are unrelated pics that have been posted here on OT.com.

I can only see Mark Hamill. It looks nothing like Ewan McGregor or Alec Guinness to me. The power of wishful thinking?

I Am Nancy (2011)

I was amused by how nonplussed Heather Langenkamp was over how little Nancy Thompson merchandise there is compared to Freddy Krueger's, and the interviews with Wes Craven and his daughter were interesting. The rest of this documentary, though, was just ... meh. I suppose I was expecting more behind-the-scenes sort of stuff with regards to how the Nancy character was written and developed, Heather's portrayal of her, etc. instead of all the stuff with the fans and cosplayers (God, those people sure are a weird bunch).

My Name Is Bruce (2007)

Mildly amusing, but I can't help but feel this movie would have been far, far better had it revolved around the "real" Bruce Campbell instead of a heavily fictionalized version of the man.

Quicksilver Highway (1997)

The first story based on Stephen King's "Chattery Teeth" is decent, but the second story based on Clive Barker's "The Body Politic" is painfully awful. The best thing about this movie, overall, is Christoper Lloyd



in the weirdest hair, makeup, and clothes I've ever seen him in.

Mother of Tears (2007)

Definately the lamest entry in Argento's "Three Mothers" Trilogy. Sure, Inferno didn't have much of a story, but it had - along with Suspiria - rather gorgeous cinematography and atmosphere to make up for it. This, however, looks and feels like some cheap, late 90's, direct-to-video religious horror - insipid to the core.

I think you need to add Qui-Gon and Padmé to the mix.

He's not strong. His boots just have good grip.

Expanded universe reboot- This is shakier. Could be wrong here but all the games, novels, comics and other things are too unwieldy. Plus, Disney will want to rebuild Star Wars from the ground up. Why wouldn't they? My bet is Disney will rebuild the EU from scratch using the original versions of all six movies as their base canon. It's kind of inevitable if Episode 7 includes Chewie (who's dead in current continuity).

Digitally mastered =/= altered.

^That's disingenuous - Disney was producing quality material back then.

If cats

A. Were omnivores instead of obligate carnivores

B. Were able to synthesize taurine

C. Had gills along with lungs

they'd be the perfect animal.

How much input did Gene actually have on TFF? In spite of the "executive consultant" credit he was getting at that point, it doesn't seem like he had much influence on the films post TMP. Not to mention TNG probably had more of his attention in 1989.

Everything I ever read about TFF indicated it was Paramount that was skittish about Kirk and company encountering god and Satan, and watered down the script. Never mind Kirk already met the devil on Saturday morning tv in 1973. ;)

I was under the impression <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Sean Connery </span>Sha Ka Ree was simply weakened by the Phaser barrage, losing it's cohesive form, not actually destroyed or killed.

We can continue this over in the Star Trek thread if you'd like?

Dracula 2000 (2000)

This joke of a film made me want to hang myself, but the fear of becoming a Eurotrash vampire douchbag made me relent.

Waterworld (1995)

I don't know what all the fuss was about. I've seen this movie (far more) than six times. It rules!

Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (1989)

This is definately the weakest of the six Trek films with the original series' cast. The premise was good, but Gene Roddenbery's antipathic attitude towards theism stifled it (no one without an axe to grind would have had a godlike entity - an entity presumably so powerful and dangerous that it had to be imprisoned on an inaccessable planet isolated within the centre of the galaxy - die from a single phaser blast from a Klingon starship). Beyond that, though, it was a decent enough film (I loved Laurence Luckinbill's performance as Sybok).

Inferno (1980)

Did this movie have a plot? Between the largely random murders and overbearing score, I just couldn't tell. Oh, well - at least it was pretty to look at (and a miserable cat-killing bastard died in a particularly satisfying way).

Shocker (1989)

This movie was just all over the place, but entertaining nevertheless (Mitch Pileggi was diabolically awesome). If only a certain actress had been given a better role than playing an already-dead murder victim in one short scene near the beginning of the film.

Yep, indeed I did. I have lots of time to kill, so I spend it watching 3-4 (occasionally five) movies a day.

I used to be a Boba fan, but then AOTC & ROTS came around and ruined everything.

I have it on good authority that we do literally leave the planet after we die. The Ancient Astronauts come down to Earth in their tetrahedron ships while everyone is asleep and harvest the lifeforces of the dead for transport back to their homeworld in the Valhalla Galaxy, where they're broken down into their component ba's and ka's and used as raw fuel to power their vast network of galaxy-spanning Infinity Gates.

I'd like to see dodgeball become a televised sport.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003)

Without a doubt, this is the weakest film in the franchise I've ever seen; it had all the subtlety of a chainsaw to the groin.

The Fog (2005)

The first time I saw this movie, I hadn't seen the original, so I took it to be a rather average film - not too good or bad, just okay. Now, though ... God above, this is an abomination. Fishermen who shave their chests? GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK!!! (Tom Welling, everything connected to you sucks - I'm glad your career as an actor is virtually dead) Oh, and don't get me started on that stupid party scene on the boat - why can't a black person be the least bit intelligent and agreeable in movies anymore? Why do they always have to be written as obnoxious, sex-crazed idiots with bad taste in music?

Everyone associated with this garbage should be afflicted with a bad case of CG leprosy.

The Butterfly Effect 2 (2006)

Lord, this is a dumb movie. Not stupid, just dumb - completely, utterly, thoroughly, dumb.

Also, as an aside, Erica Durance and her fake tits suck.

Drag Me to Hell (2009)

I liked this movie, but it would have been far better had Raimi resorted to the practical effects he grew up on instead of utilizing the cheap, shitty CG he used here. Seriously, couldn't the the malevolent handkerchief have been accomplished through use of strings or wire, the possessed goat with animatronics, or the pit to hell with an actual hole in the ground complete with orange lighting and a bunch of guys wearing rubber demon arms?

Ouch! I'm not even going to ask which cut of Supergirl you watched. You didn't even like Jerry Goldsmith's score?

The scene with Max Headroom as lecherous trucker was in questionable taste.
