In most games/shows/whatever, you can ignore prequel/SE nonsense, but Boba's new voice is there to stay, sadly, and will just follow us wherever we go.
The "Faces" boxed set on VHS
The Special Edition boxed set on VHS
The Phantom Menace on VHS
I don't own any of the films - OOT or otherwise - on DVD, unfortunately.
Freddy Voorhees or Jason Krueger; I can't decide between the two.

Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarfs (1943)
Like any modern black comedy or rap music video, this cartoon is incredibly racist.
The Mist (2007)
When I first saw this movie, I felt that the ending was kind of forced and didn't work that well. My mind's been changed this time around, though, and I think it does rather fit with the overall pessimistic tone of the film. All-in-all, I found this a good film.
The Ninth Gate (1999)
The premise was good, and it started off interesting enough, but it became a slog through tedium in no time flat. If this movie was trying to make the case that Satanism is awe-inspiring and cool, it failed; more than ever, I believe the Prince of Darkness and his minions to be toothless old dogs with more bark than bite.
Alien Hunter (2003)
A watered-down ripoff of The Thing with a little bit of Independence Day thrown in the mix in a failed bid to spice things up. The best thing I can say about this movie is that it is perfectly harmless (and that Leslie Stefanson was nice to look at).
The Thing (1982)
I remember the first time I watched this film (or semi-watched; I missed half of it) I thanked God that no creature like the Thing actually existed. Suffice it to say, my reaction wasn't nearly that strong this time around (I've become the teeniest bit jaded over the years, after all), though I still feel kind of bad for that dog. All I can say, really, having now seen the movie in its entirety, is that it was a decent film, but I wouldn't go out of my way to watch it again.
Halloween (2007)
I'd just like to say, up front, that I hold the original film in no high regard. Maybe if I had lived and seen it back in the 70's when it first came out - when the slasher subgenre was in its infancy - it would have meant something special to me; alas, as a kid of the 90's/00's, it's just an average film - better than the typical slasher film, but nothing stellar. With all that aside, I still have to say that this remake is a piece of shit. That's no surprise, though, seeing as this is a product of Rob Zombie, who is a connoisseur of shit. Everything was unnecessarily ugly and gritty, not one single character - expect Danny Trejo's - was the least bit sympathetic, and the "heroine" was an annoying, unlikeable bitch who should have been brutally murdered but wasn't for some stupid reason. It's a sad thing when the only good performance in this turd of a movie came from a pair of kids in one scene late in the film.
The Strangers (2008)
I honestly don't mind movies with unhappy endings where the villain wins, but the protagonists should still get a few good hits in before the time for them to bite the bullet comes. That never happens in this bland, lifeless, uninspired film; Liv Tyler and her boyfriend/husband/whatever just keep failing again and again up to the very end *yawn*. If I never see this movie again, it'll be too soon.
The Hitcher (2007)
As far as remakes go, this is far from bad. That doesn't make it any less pointless or the boyfriend any less of a stupid douchebag, however.
Trick 'r Treat (2007)
To be quite honest, this was a better film than I expected it to be. While being something of an uneven, haphazard mess, it was still endearing in how completely weird it was (seeing Dylan Baker as a Halloween candy-poisoning faux-vampire who gets devoured by a coven of werewolves is indeed a sight to behold).
Supergirl (1984)
God, I knew this was going to be a bad movie, but nowhere near as bad as it turned out to be. Supergirl as a dumb blonde with a horrible taste in men? Faye Dunaway as a witch with a horrible taste in men? God, it all just puts a horrible taste in my mouth. Peter O'Toole's drunken(?) performance and the scene where two truckers try to rape Supergirl were the only enjoyable parts in this awful piece of garbage.
I wonder if all these planned films will be live-action.

Six thousand years of canon is enough to keep me satisfied before I start asking for any new SW universes.

What is Hayden doing these days?
He has three films in the pipeline according to IMDB, but he hasn't done a movie for nearly 3 years.
And on just the right date, too!
Just felt like bumping this thread so I could post this tribute to my disturbing obsession with Heather Langenkamp.
The naked guy was supposed to be Bruce Campbell, BTW, but it just didn't turn out right.
Went looking for another thread, found this one, so "bump".
P.S. Does anyone else think Hayden looks a helluvalot like Billy Idol?

"Found footage" would be a misnomer, as motion pictures didn't exist. Maybe historical docudrama would be a better term?
Can't say I blame him ("Dream Warriors" and "Into the Fire" are AWESOME songs).
I like the idea of the SW Universe being part of a larger multiverse, just not the Marvel Multiverse.
If I were given the chance to reboot Star Trek, this is what I would do.
1. Concentrate on exploring new worlds instead of political squabbles within the Federation. Trek is in the title for a reason, after all.
2. Remove all the technobabble and bad science.
3. Make most of the human/rubber forehead aliens genetically engineered human offshoots instead of entirely different, unrelated species.
4. Redesign most of the human/rubber forehead aliens to look more alien. For example, I'd make purebred Vulcans taller, with longer faces, green skin, and V-shaped bone ridges on their foreheads.
5. Make the "rubber forehead" Klingons and the "human" Klingons two seperate species; the latter would serve as a genetically-modified subspecies of the former, created to serve as covert spies within the Federation.
The Pagemaster (1994)
A fun little movie - it deserves more recognition than its got. The one major problem I have with this film is that the character animation more often than not lacks definition, making the characters look faded.
Darkness Falls (2003)
This movie could have been made at least 50% better had the filmmakers had the sense to make the ghost SILENT; the constain barrage of spectral groans, wails, and shrieks just made me want to swallow a load of buckshot. On the plus side, at least the ghost was realized primarily through conventional effects instead of shoddy CGI garbage.
The Missing (2003)
An adequate movie - I have no strong feelings toward it, good-or-bad.
Tower of Terror (1997)
A corny film. Not corny in the endearing, Vincent Price mold, but corny in the mildly-annoying, cheap, made-for-TV mold. All-in-all, though, it's not really bad, but definately for prepubescent kids who don't know any better.
A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987)
This will come as no surprise to anyone familiar with my current signature (XP), but I liked it. It's not as good as the original or the seventh entry in the series, but still a lot of fun. I've only got a few problems with this film - that Freddy is too well-lit, two of the protagonists die far too easily, and that it was followed by four direct sequels that should have never been made.
Presuming YouTube lasts that long, of course*.
*I have it on good authority that the Earth will be conquered and the human race enslaved by alien replicons from beyond the moon well before then.
^Awesome!
More like Sylar-hate, actually.
I'm sooooooooooooo very glad I haven't seen the '11 version (and never, ever, ever, ever will).
So, you don't like Birdie Num Nums then ...
Everytime I see an illiterate limpdick misspell Leia's name as "Leah", I want to assist him/her in commiting seppuku.
