EDIT: Oh dang, I liked it so much better before it got cleaned up.  It was kindof Dada Postmodernist.

Caligula (1979)

 

O_o

 

Errrr..... ummmmm..... It was pretty cool....

^The fact that Lucas toyed with the idea before ultimately discarding it doesn't matters, either.

my late dad was a brilliant practical joker, for years after he died I still thought babies came from men having sex with women

I watched it on Youtube, actually, not on DVD. It was apparently the Criterion edition though, and numerous scenes were tinted red while others weren't. Hope that helps.

^Seconded.

Häxan (1922) - 6/10

The future is X-rated.

RoboCop (1987)

It's weird. I first watched this movie only last summer, and liked it enough to give it a 7/10. After watching it again yesterday, though, I just found it rather meh. I don't know what it is; the way they edited it for TV this time around was awful, but I don't think it was enough to have that much of an effect on my opinion. Maybe I just wasn't in the right frame of mind last night. Regardless of the reasons why, all I can give the film now is 5/10

The 'Burbs (1989) - 7/10

The Forgotten (2004) - 5/10

Just like how they don't sell B&W TVs anywhere or tube TVs.  Newer TVs didn't make those older TVs cheap (at least, not for very long) they just made them non-existant.

COLARS!

Scientific evidence? Pffft. The only decent explanation is that none of the writers who ever worked on the scripts knew how to write the good guys out of life-threatening situations without making the bad guys imcompetent dolts.

Once, when I was a kid, back in '96 or so, I was lying in bed, waiting to fall asleep, when I thought I heard a voice address me. When I turned over, though, there was no one near me or even in the room. I doubt it was someone calling me from another room, because it sounded pretty close.

This is the closest thing to a paranormal experience I've ever been through. Since nothing like that ever happened before or since while living in that house, I tend to write it off as a brain fart or some sort or misattributation.

Having the technology (not to mention the origin) surrounding the space jockey explained ruins that sense of mystery and wonder which Alien so expertly created.

I agree, that mystery is one of the major reasons the original Alien film is so powerful, explain this and the magic is broken. This is sacred ground for many of us how silly that may sound, but sooner or later Hollywood cannot resist dickin' around with these things that you love, it's inevitable, it happens with everything you thought was sacred, you just need to ignore the new material.

Have you really watched 14 movies in 2-3 days?

I just don't get the whole idea. Why did God bother with creation in the first place?

Tales from the Crypt (1972) - 6/10

The Masque of the Red Death (1964) - 6.5/10

The Fantastic Four (1994)

Not a good movie by any means, but still better than the craptastic '04 film. 5/10

^Thanks. I'll give it a look =)

And as for schlock, you do realize that the 70s gave us, "Blackenstein" "Dracula and the Seven Golden Vampire" "Death Race 2000" "Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band" "Night of the Lepus" "Xanadu" fifteen "Airport" movies, "Zardoz" "I Spit On Your Grave" "Caligula" and  "Shaft goes to Africa"

Obi-wan tells Luke in the beginning of Heir that he has already stayed too long. The Jedi accept death as part of life.

DISCLAIMER: Holy shit! I just realized that what I wrote above could be used by prequel lovers to justify some of the horrible ROTS dialogue! I do not, in any way, condone ROTS dialogue. END DISCLAIMER

I think Luke's dad was called "Tam Skywalker" in one of the early Marvel comics. But he was called Anakin before the OT was over (at least according to Kenner), so you can probably safely throw that out.

I could rework Tam into being Anakin's middle name. It's wouldn't be the best patch job in the world, but it could be made to work.

Not to be a dick, but...

LOL. This is pure win.

I am also bothered by the fact that the space jockey creatures look like humans and that what we thought were their faces are actually masks/helmets!
