  • Nothing more realistic than wanting water rights. Especially in today's world.
  • I'm not holding my breath. 1 was interesting, 2 was okay. I liked the Lynch one better.

  • If I really wanted to punish myself, I'd watch a double feature of The Deer Hunter & Steel Magnolias.
  • This is a fantastic conversation. Lots of excellent points all around. There was a time when I wanted literal Fleming onscreen, but now I believe it would only work as a period piece set in the 50's, or very early 60's. And I'm pretty sure that that…
  • Last Of The Mohicans Director's Definitive Cut Blu ray. Been quite a while since I've seen it.

  • And here I hope to offer the ultimate fantasy/science-y explanation of the time incident in Superman: The Movie. First of all, he did not simply travel through time himself. If that were the case, the crack would have begun to re-appear under Lois'…
  • Oh my, I just got "My Adventures With Superman" on DVD and it's so purely entertaining. Kind of makes me feel like a kid again. Just binged the first 4 episodes... too late or I'd watch the other 6 in this season.

  • Just watched my 4K Batman Returns. Not liking it like I used to. Might have something to do with the incoming Shreck/Penguin administration....

  • Not sure now which is my favourite Moore Bond, TMWTGG or FYEO.... wait- the music factor.... gotta go with the Barry one.

  • Oh my, after the complete tonal shift in DAF, and Kananga dying from being popped like a balloon in LALD can y'all REALLY complain about anything in TMWTGG??? Great Ceasar's Ghost!
