Ordered It!!!! Let the waiting begin.............

Saw Cannonball Run 2 again (taped it yesterday). I miss movies like this that didn't take themselves so serious.

That one definitely qualifies! Not even the filmmakers took that movie seriously....

I read an interview with Steven Soderburgh once, he said that "comedies are usually the hardest movies to make, just because the cast had a "great time" on the film doesn't mean that it's going to work...if that was the case, then Cannonball Run would be the best comedy of all time".

Sweet!!!! Thanks MetalGuy71!!!!! I'm headed there now..........

I'm thinking about picking up that one myself. I loved that show as a kid. I hope they hold up after all these years. At the very least, it's going on my want-list. Got me a birthday coming up soon, so I gotta have some suggestions ready for my family.

I have it and have watched it several times through:

My favorite parts are at the end where they freeze but the camera still rolls:

Saw Cat O' Nine Tails today. I love Argento!

"Subject Two" - indie horror/drama about a med student who gets a job working for a crazed doctor who's developing a "rejuvenation" serum that will bring people back from the dead. His job is to be the test dummy, who keeps getting killed and brought back, killed and brought back, over and over again. Of course, each "rejuvenation" has its own set of problems.

Sounds more interesting than it really was. The acting was fine and the story was unusual, but things moved rather slowly and it was VERY talky. Not bad but nothin' I'd watch again.

my favorite is still his debut, "The Bird With The Crystal Plummage", that film shows that Argento was more skilled at Hitchcock-style suspense than DePalma has ever managed to capture.

Yeah, I was disappointed in that one. Cool idea, boring execution. Some beautiful scenery though.

Me too. The description in the program guide when it was on Sundance Channel led me to believe it would be more "horror" and less "drama."

The Descent: Part 2


Not bad. Some good kill scenes. Nothing earth-shattering.

The Life Aquatic: The Adventures of Steve Zissou


Quirky. Worth one viewing, but probably wouldn't watch it again.

That's what I figured. Since it's basically more of the same from the first one it can't possibly have the same impact its predecessor had.

Correct, Toho.

Ice Age

Yeah, I know. I'm taking a break from my usual movie fare; bought all 3 Ice Age movies the other day and I'm gonna watch 'em in order.

Gettin my Neo-Prog on........A live concert from IQ

Once dead return with a vengeance

Superman II:The Richard Donner Cut

"Zaat" (a.k.a. "Blood Waters of Dr. Z")

I never heard of this flick till Schmoobop mentioned it in the "Worst Movie Ever" thread a week or so ago. It just so happened that after he brought it up, "Zaat' turned up on Turner Classic Movies the other nite so I had to record it and check it out.

Sooooo...wow, "Zaat" is pretty much badness personified. Haha. A fish-obsessed mad scientist who hates humanity turns himself into a walking catfish monster (?) because.... well, because he can, I guess. Then he spends the rest of the movie in an awesomely cheap monster suit, aimlessly stumbling around the swamps surrounding a small Florida town, attacking people at random while a posse of scientists try to catch him. Plotless, pointless, hilariously stupid. It's like "Swamp Thing," only WAY dumber.

Still, in my book it's not the worst movie ever, because Andy Milligan's "Carnage" still exists.

...and hey, at least "Zaat" had a couple of hot hippie chicks in it (it was made in 1971, after all) and a cool poster.

American History (awsome awsome, sadly that part 2 is abandoned)

Iron Man 2

I loved it

Watched 'Downfall"

Wasn't it just awesome? It's like my favorite bad movie ever.

Indeed, 'twas awesomely bad!

Last movie seen:
"Tentacles" (1977) - extremely slow moving, dull Italian made "Jaws" ripoff about a p*ssed off giant octopus menacing a California seaside resort town. Such dependable '70s regulars as Claude "Sheriff Lobo" Akins, Henry Fonda (!), and Shelley Winters all make appearances but don't do much. Some decent underwater photography but that's about all. Booooooring!
