Also, seems like the game gets even more ridiculous, (and Village Peopleish) as it progresses.

Empire Today

I honestly do not understand at all the appeal of Velma. Daphne is where it's at.

but they are a bit too literal with their physical manifestations of mythological allegories.

Care to elaborate?

They're obviously in very good hands. Definitely looking forward to it. =)

Yeah I actually wrote up a whole list of adventure/fantasy films I wanna check out:

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954)

Journey to the Center of the Earth (1959)

Mysterious Island (1961)

Atlantis the Lost Continent (1961)

In Search of the Castaways (1962)

First Men in the Moon (1964)

Robinson Crusoe on Mars (1964)

War Gods of the Deep (1965)

Around the World Under the Sea (1966)

The Land That Time Forgot (1975)

At the Earth's Core (1976)

The Amazing Captain Nemo (1978)

Warlords of Atlantis (1978)

I seem to be in some kind of list phase. I'm also going through Don Bluth and Studio Ghibli films.

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954)

Finally saw this for the first time last night. WONDERFUL FILM! It's one of those films that just feels perfect. Love it.

IGN reviewed The Secret History of Star Wars

I was contemplating making a thread just for that video. I'm still not sure how I feel about it.

Oh yeah: here's another.

Nice.

Grave of the Fireflies (1988)

='(

Wrath of the Titans (2012)

Saw this last night. A definite improvement over the last film in all respects. Ultimately a fun popcorn flick.

Castle in the Sky (1986)

Definitely liked this more than Valley of the Wind.

I'm with xhonzi on this one.

          005

  I am disappoint.

Darn. I thought this was going to be a flannel conspiracy where after you pointed out George's sweater you then pointed out Frazetta's shirt and postulated from there. =/

ALSO: Where is the Buckaroo Banzai love in this thread?

*slaps forehead* I can't believe I forgot to mention that film! One of my personal favorites...

Yes! Love that movie. Have either of you read the new Buckaroo comics from Moonstone? They're all written by the original creator.

My post in the movie thread after the midnight premiere:

John Carter (2012)

Just got back from seeing it a little while ago. What a great movie! This was everything the prequels should have been. Best movie I've seen in a while.

I wanted to bump this thread but since I was the last to post in it I didn't want to double post. =P It didn't do so well domestically but it did very well overseas. To date it's grossed about $179,327,248 worldwide. I'd say it's looking like it'll make its money back. I plan on seeing it again as well and I've heard the same from multiple people.

Didn't know where else to share this but I knew I had to post it somewhere.

It seems to me that Dave Filoni is the current point man for the SW brand, and the creepy little dude is running it into the ground, both commericaly and artistically.

DavidBrennan said:

Weren't the TCW movie, the cartoon on TNT, and all these other things also huge failures?  Why are these people still employed at LFL and controlling the Star Wars brand?

Where do you come up with this stuff? Dave Filoni is the only thing saving the Clone Wars. He was a huge Star Wars fan before Lucasfilm hired him. The memorized a good chunk of the EU type of fan. He has good ideas and knows what makes Star Wars awesome. Unfortunately George has taken a huge interest in the show and the majority of the weird crap you see pop up in the show comes straight from George. Thankfully Dave is there to tone down a lot of that and the episodes that come straight from the writers and Dave are fantastic. Secondly, there was never any TNT show. TNT was a potential network to air the Clone Wars but the Cartoon Network picked it up instead.

If the only thing you've seen of the Clone Wars was that crap movie you have no idea what you're talking about.

This won't be helpful but boy do I wish I had access to the Lucasfilm Research Library.

*drool*

Looked it up and there were just the two animated series. I got confused because I used to own a VHS tape that just had a single episode on it. But it was still good stuff. I don't remember much about the second animated series but it's supposed to be really bad. I hope the remake they have coming out next year is good.

The Towering Inferno (1974)

Decided to watch this on a whim and was taken aback. I had no idea this film had such a star studded cast. Paul Newman & Steve McQueen!?! Not to mention Fred Astaire which was a real surprise(oh and OJ Simpson too). Not only did it have a great cast it was also a great film in general. It still holds up today and is a real thrill.

I found it amusing Robocop would later spawn a cartoon series and a toy line.

He actually got two cartoon shows and I think some kind of Marvel animated special or something. As well as a live action one.

Robocop 3 is one of the worst films of all time. 

Ralph McQuarrie remembered at Lucasfilm.
