  • 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!

  • There was a time when I was sort of vaguely apologetic for liking Crystal Skull in much the same way as I was for liking Die Another Day. Those days are over. I love both of them, and if you don't it's your loss. On the flip side of this I don't kno…

  • The first three Indiana Jones movies are awesome, I think we can all pretty much agree on this. The last two, ahhh, there's my rub. They are like pendulum swings. Where Crystal Skull gets arguably too lighthearted, Dial Of Destiny gets arguably to…
  • Just finished Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull on my new 4K disk, and I have to say it's like I've watched it for the first time. I *LOVE* this film. Sure, it ain't as killer as the first three, but I adore it anyway. Such fantasti…
  • Well, I'm gonna begin my backwards Indy marathon tonight with Crystal Skull (yeah, Imma skip Dial this time around).
