In what way did you for once completely agree with Anchorhead?  That he only avowed the existance of the 1968 original or that you do?

For the record;  I don't dislike the Apes sequels to the point of completely ignoring their existence.  I just don't own them.  I'll watch them if they come on cable. 

 

As long as he's seen Inception.

I have not, sir.

 

But... it's not a sequel to anything...

Ahwell...

IGNOBLED!

I agree.  That's why I'm getting it on Blu Ray!

read my posts carefully, I never said the other movies didn't exist to me.

Read Anchorheads posts carefully.  You said you agreed with him completely.

Objection!!  Prosecution is leading the jury.

If it pleases the court;

I own & like all the Indiana Jones films, own & like all but two James Bond films, own & like three Star Trek films, and two Batman films.  Not counting some others I may have forgotten just now, I own & fully approve of at least 27 sequels.

 

*SHOCKED*

That's more shocking than the bit about Planet of the Apes in the other thread.

Mine's blocked for Adult/Mature content.  Which makes sense.

Do I need to watch Blade 2 again?  I thought it sucked when I last saw it, which was in theatres.  I thought Blade 1 was smart and sophisticated (like its main villain?) and that Blade 2 was style over substance.   At least, I think I remember thinking that.  :)

In what ways do you consider Airplane! groundbreaking?

I agree.  That's why I'm getting it on Blu Ray!

That sounds like a great idea.  I don't keep up with the thread... but everyone once in a while I'd like to know what's going on.  A weekly digest would let know the most important stuff and would let me know if I need to go read more on any given subject.

The only question is:  ...Who's going to do it?

I nominate Frink.

It wasn't.  And seeing how Inception is not on your list:

IGNORED!

1. Click on the chart to look at the raw .png.
1a. If your browser loads the huge pic, and then shrinks it down, clicking on it again will probably zoom it back to 1:1.
1b. If it's now too big, maybe just save it to your desktop, and use an image utility to zoom and pan at will.

So... you all are disappointing me.  No other discussion?

I. Star Trek II is an anomaly.  It's pretty clear why.  Most movies that suck as hard as Star Trek TMP wouldn't get a sequel.  Lucky for STII:TWoK, it's more of a sequel to an excellent TV series than it is to ST:TMP.  So, it's not so much an anomaly among sequels as it is an anomaly among sequel chartmanship, since the charts only consider two movies in what can otherwise be a complicated Intellectual Property.

II. Blade 2?  Really?

III. Airplane gets a 97ish and Airplane 2 gets a 39ish?  Really?  I mean, I like the first one best, but I don't think they're that different in quality.

IV (or IIII if you're a clock). How about Speed/II?  From 90 to 0?

V. How did State Property get a sequel?  The original got a 0 rating, and made very little money.

VI. Is it fair to say that about 80% of the movies are below the line? 

VII. Is it somewhat encouraging to see the biggest bubbles (with a few exceptions) are located at the extreme right of the graph?

VIII. What do you make of the two movie duos to get perfect 100%s?

IX. Who rated Mission: Impossible 2 that highly?

X. I like Ghostbusters 2.

IGNORE!

Mario,

Are you still around?  Is anyone else able to help out with this?

Wow, them are some expensive Apples.  I mean, I knew they were expensive... but that's crazy!

I guess regular-Joe-consumer has to pay for all of the ones they donate to schools or pay to have in movies and TV.

9) Complaints About Project Availability

...

16) Creating Massive Walls of Text, Especially if You are Just Rambling

This seems to be a list of things you shouldn't do.

17) Don't Make Fun of Frink

So what do I make of this?  Should I not don't make fun of Frink?

21. Not seeing Inception

Maybe you're thinking of lances or boils.

Of course, I meant pimples or boils.

Ha ha.

I read the book.  While I will admit that it was better... I wasn't as enamored with it as the rest of you seem to be.  Like ray said, being able to read the thoughts of certain characters was a bonus... but I still think it more or less rotten.

No way would I say that it would actually make a "good" film, even if it would have been a "better" one.  No where near ESB territory, in my opinion.

Not trying to argue with anyone- just offering another opinion.

I SAID IT SHALL NOT BE MENTIONED! 

But even then, you are old...

But who's surprised at how old zombie84 is?  I mean, he's zombie84...

And he's still published before the rest of us...  :(

I'm still waiting for one as good as "Lars Attacks!"

Rule #1: Don't be lame.

42?

It could be worse...at least I'm not xhonzi.  That guy must feel like carp.

Hey!  I just realized I was insulted a LONG time ago.

I'd ignore you if I wasn't already!

I hope you stay a longer spell than that.

Hunting down rogue hairs is like nature's own bubblewrap (or is that popping blackheads?).

Blackheads don't pop... they just ooze.  Maybe you're thinking of lances or boils.

Regarding Apes;  1968 original only for me. 

for once, I completely agree with Anchorhead.   The original is a classic with one of the greatest endings in movie history.  The others come nowhere near close to the original.   Of the others, the third is my favorite.     I am not sure which versions of Conquest and Battle I've seen.   It is whatever versions were on the original DVD release.   I need to get this series on Blu-Ray.    

Wait...

1. You completely agree with Anchorhead.
2. Anchorsaid "1968 original only for me."
3. You said. "I need to get this series on Blu-Ray."

In what way did you for once completely agree with Anchorhead?  That he only avowed the existance of the 1968 original or that you do?  If the former, than I also completely agree with Anchorhead.  For once.

As long as he's seen Inception.
