Rob Zombie - Hellbilly Deluxe
Two Thumbs up!
I do love that record. Big spook-show fun.
I’ll always wonder why he makes such fun music but such joyless films.
Individually, I believe. They’re already streaming on… whatever service Criterion works with, but they are getting everything set for physical releases.
I doubt the '54 film will get another release, as they’ve already released that, like you said. But I’m hoping the King Of The Monsters version will now be in equal quality.
Also, looks like it’s not just Godzilla, but other Showa era films like War of the Gargantuas (!!) and Rodan.
I would go for a re-relaes of G’54 with a cover matching the rest! I really dig the style.
Criterion is gearing up to release the entire Showa Godzilla series (1954-1975. 15 films) on bluray.
I’m amazed. I can’t wait!
The tweaks to the site are great.
You can change it to dark blue in your settings.
Perfect. I think the white will be better on my phone, but it’s instant migraine on my monitor.
I think I’ll skip this trailer and everything else till I go see this thing.
So, I’ll see this thread later!
I was just stating an opinion, an unwanted one it seems, but an opinion nonetheless. and unlike the rest of you, I have refrained from making personal insults. Who is better, the person who answers a question or the person who jumps on the responder? The latter because name callers and shamers are not what one should aspire to be. I’m a secular humanist Jew and even I can see that there is no value to be found in the books of either religion when it comes to morality. The fact that you’re all up in arms over my suggestion to the poster proves to me that some people can’t play nice.
when the words used are actually descriptions of someone’s behavior rather than a juvenile insult, it isn’t simply “name calling.”
You mocked religious beliefs when the context of the thread and the conversation therein had nothing to do with religion. This is not an unwanted opinion, it is an insult being spread to anyone who is religiously a Jew or a Christian. We are not “name callers and shamers” because we called you out for being an asshole.
If someone on here made a blatantly racist comment, would I be a name calling shamer for calling them a racist?
You’re playing the victim card and I’m not buying it.
Yep.
Zerome, what you said was inconsiderate and immature (at best). That’s not me name calling, that’s just how it is. Hopefully this won’t take up ten more pages.
Yep.
You did mean to mock them. Your statement about “the fictional bible of the Jews and Christians” was very directly mocking the books as well as those who hold related religious beliefs, and there’s no way you can victim-card your way out of it.
I say again:
If someone on here made a blatantly racist comment, would I be a name calling shamer for calling them a racist?
I’m not playing any cards. I’m not mocking just giving my opinion.
Yeah, you are. You’re playing the same snide passive-aggressive cards ImpScum used to play. You’re fooling absolutely no one.
Yep.
I do?
Oh yeah. I did it on my computer and forgot and I’ve been using my phone ever since and haven’t cleared the cache so it’s still the cat
No no no. You were lookin’ in my windows and saw me get the mask. Then you changed your avatar to see if I’d catch on pretty quick. And I did.
Now fess up, young man.
I’ve had a moderate (most would say “extreme”) headache all day and am having a hard time staying in a decent mood.
Last night I found Majoras Mask in BotW (so cool! I’ll wear it forever!) and now Possesed has it as his avatar…
coincidence? NO WAY!
These seem to be the situations a person would wear a baseball cap in the 1960s:
- Recreation
- They’re young
- They’re generally not middle class citizens
To cross threads, how can I possibly explain how weird it is for Handman to assume the two places people wear baseball hats is at a baseball game and in their own house?
In the context of the 1960s. You mean to tell me if a grown man were to walk around with a baseball cap on his head in the 1960s, people would be able to take him seriously?
Yes. Absolutely.
Maybe not at the office, but in casual situations, yes of course.
I’m a fanatic of the 1960’s and I can promise you that baseball caps were normal then, especially for young people (from children to people in their late 20’s).
They aren’t wearing em in the pics you posted because those are all ad’s for clothing and the company doesn’t make baseball caps.
They wen’t as common as they are now, but they weren’t mocked or looked down on in casual situations.
I’m really loving everything I’ve seen from this movie so far.
Crazy how much I’ve been won over. Really lookin’ forward to this.
Thought that was a pic from the movie for a moment and almost lost all faith in this thing! 😄
JEDIT- Just showed the Lady of the Manor. “huh-uh… THIS THAT REAL!?” 😄
I don’t understand why it’s so hard to believe that maybe if they drastically retooled a movie after it was almost finished that maybe that movie wasn’t turning out to be very good. Occam’s Razor and all that.
It’s not that I find it hard to believe, I just wish they’d be more transparent about how things went down. With there seeming to be a gag order on the subject, I don’t fully trust anything that makes it past the guard so to speak.
Thanks. Sounds good. I think I’ll pick it up and the new book that leads into the Han Solo movie. Or did I dream that one up?
I’ve felt like this all week. Very happy the weekend is here.
I’d rather see the version which had more Saw Gerrara as an actual character, and a finale where the group are actually together. It could still be a grey, lifeless marketing exercise but I’m not sure why he thinks this was an improvement.
I’m not sure why either of those would improve it. It sounds like the changes he made were narrowing the focus of the film and making the character motivations clearer. If anything, he didn’t go far enough.
Because those are character moments that are important for making me care about characters in a movie. As it stands I have no idea what Jyn and Saw were motivated by, beyond a few clichéd sound bites.
Well that’s under the assumption that those unused moments with Saw would provide his motivation, and that his motivation is necessary to the overall story. As is he’s ultimately not incredibly important to the narrative, so in my mind it makes sense to streamline his story if he’s out before the halfway point (and when there’s at least 8 other important characters that are still alive and relevant).
Personally Saw and Galen were the only interesting people and they were wasted. They just die and we’re supposed to… be sad? I don’t get it.
Reading Catalyst made me wish we got more of the Galen/Orson dynamic, or at least we saw Orson motivations fleshed out a bit more.
Is Catalyst good? I mean, besides giving some backstory to the characters of R1, is it a good story in your opinion?
I’ve kinda been wanting some new Star Wars in my life, but the few titles I picked up in the 90’s have left me pretty gun shy.
he just says it’s primarily about sacrifice
But it’s not.
It’s not because ultimately it’s not really primarily about anything
I’d say it’s a movie about learning to work together despite differences. I think that comes through clearly.
And when he says it’s about sacrifice, he’s saying “when I watched the rough cut, I saw what the film needed, which was to be about sacrifice.” If you don’t think the final product is about sacrifice, the proper critique isn’t that “he doesn’t understand the movie as much as some dude on the internet,” it’s that “he wanted the movie to be about sacrifice, but he failed to make it so.”
Pfft. ok.
he just says it’s primarily about sacrifice
But it’s not.
The Hobbit Part One (2012)
It’s really terrible.Why do you think this?
Here’s a quick list:
-It looks bad.
-Effects are uneven to put it nicely.
-No chemistry with the cast.
-Boring interpretations of the characters.
-Stupid “humor”.
-Too many additions to the story just to make it an “epic” trilogy.
-Over reliance on phony looking CGI.
-Bad acting.
-Bad dialog.
Eh, I still don’t trust him. I have to know specifics about the original.
Same. Edwards other films are good and the production went smooth, so it’s not like he’s incompetent.

Just for the record, I wasn’t being sarcastic with my comment on it being about sacrifice, I genuinely didn’t get any of that from the movie. I thought it’s message was about “learning to work together” and “doing the right thing” or something like that.
Yep. It’s funny that someone who doesn’t even like the film seems to understand it better than some of the people who worked on it. 😉
The Hobbit Part One (2012)
It’s really terrible.
I like all of you and wish the best for everyone on this site.
Here’s to ya!
