Plinkett’s first review (of TPM) was incredible - a work of genius. Since then, unfortunately, I think that they have gone downhill.

I gotta disagree. I think the PT reviews are all equally great. The AOTC review has some of my favorite bits and the ROTS review really drives everything home during the “we need a deeper meaning to things” ending.
The TFA/Fandom one isn’t as biting or as funny, but it’s just as accurate. TFA, like Plinkett points out, is also a well made film, so there isn’t as much to bitch about and tear apart, which is what made the PT reviews so much fun.

The AIP Godzilla vs. The Sea Monster and Son of Godzilla dubs aren’t on the DVD releases. Fucking Toho and their rights issues.

Red Menace, a new user around here, is taking care of us Godzilla fans. 😃
Check out the threads in the Preservation forums. The AIP version of Destroy All Monsters is finished and it’s great! More to come!

Oh yeah, watch this one.
I find myself liking it more and more as I think back on it.

House (1977)
What a crazy movie! Truly wild stuff! There were a couple dull stretches, but with only 90 minutes run time, it certainly never got boring.

Rotten Egg.

Wow, glad you’re ok! And on the right side of the situation!
Hope you aren’t hurtin’ too bad in the mornin’, but I’m sure you’ll be sore.

HA! What’s wrong with me!?

Hey, it’s that pod-type ship that little kid in ANH was messing with outside of the bar… I’ve always liked that thing and that kid.
I’ll keep my cynical comments on it to myself 😕

Ha! I’m glad you caught it as a typo and didn’t think I was telling Warb to do something disrespectful!

Keep your chin up, Warb. Remember, the warm feelings, the good times, the kind words, the stern words and the way of life your father gave you will always be with you. Those are yours forever.
I’m trying to keep a stiff upper lip today myself. As many of you know, my best friend passed away a couple months ago. October was our month. Halloween was our holiday.
So, I’m trying to heed my own advice and focus on all the positives he left behind while dealing with the absence of his presence.
Maybe do something to special to horror your Dad today. That’s what I’ve done in my lowest points and it really helps. I’ve also found that talking about good times you had and having a laugh is the best way to horror the memories and sooth your own grief at the same time.

A solid response: http://birthmoviesdeath.com/2016/10/04/hoth-white-why-diversity-matters-in-star-wars

He said the diversity, no matter why or how, is a good thing. And when he says “in a weird way I think Star Wars has always been immune to the whole ‘race and gender’ thing.”, He’s right. Kids of all colors and races have always loved Star Wars despite the mostly white cast. He’s not saying "All the characters should be white and diversity is stupid."
And in the “sex” part, he’s clearly talking about romance.
I don’t see what there is to be angry about.

^ Good one!

Yeah, I love Sam Elliot and Ricky Gervais, but what do they have to do with each other?

EDIT- Ooh! Weird thing! I saw that quote on Ricky Gervais’ Twitter and assumed that’s where it came from. But, after googling the quote, it seems Bill Nye has posted the same thing. So where does this quote originally come from? Is it a very old phrase? I guess so.

I’ve not seen it, but I’ve heard good and bad things.
I really don’t remember anything that happens after the original movie.
Also, you need to learn to use punctuation.

Good call!

Heh, I just found out while trying to find the book to buy. Guess I had just assumed it was a Jurassic Park situation. I just might watch the movie tonight.

Plus I need to be able yo chastise you

As in “You used the wrong spelling for what you were trying to convey, yo! Check yo self!” ?

I love Westworld! I’ve never gotten around to reading the book though.
I recently caught the end of an ad for a new TV series called Westworld. Is it based off the same book? (I’m sure google could tell me quickly, but this way is more interesting)

Ha! I got ya. Well, as you can see, not all of us are angry and complainy about the time this has taken. ; )
I’m still beyond excited to see this when it’s finished, but I’m still enjoying the ride there as well.

I agree Anakin is better on TCW than in the PT but that is a very low bar. He is passable but honestly I find it hard to care for any of the characters in TCW. It’s a half-hour non-serialized kids show

This is all I ever found it to be as well. The praise it gets is something I’ll never understand.

I just clicked on the TPM review and watched a little bit. I forgot how funny that intro is! I know the voice/character turns some away, but I loved the shtick immediately.
-Also, he lightens up on the voice as the thing goes on. At times it’s almost just Mike’s normal voice, but by then you’re usually caught up in what he’s saying and don’t even notice. At least that’s me.

I’m not well versed in anything but rock n’ roll and monster movies, but I approve.
Weather or not you wanna take the approval of a heathen is your call.
