  1. I'm hoping she doesn't die, I like her character.
  2. Episode 5 is showing in select theaters next week! My imagination is going wild right now, I'm hoping they'll do a flashback ep and manage to get Obi-Wan and Rex cameos so we get a bit of live action CW.
  3. Never heard of Yor! I'm pretty sure I have seen Beastmaster but I was little, so don't really remember it. I remember ferrets...it looks like there are three of them, too. And I have Time Rider on my list already!
  4. Oh yeah, Annie was in it. Still, no body would keep my from hauling ass out of there. I'd be like, move over bacon, I need to go!
  5. Both of these Hawk movies are added to my list! Friday the 13th, the OG! This movie was surprisingly tame. Half the deaths are offscreen and you just see their body later. Kevin Bacon's death is the worst since you see it and also because it was pretty slow. Axe to the head is probably less painful than an arrow through the back of the neck. I felt bad for a lot of it since all the characters were all really innocent and likable. Felt especially bad for the goofball dude since he's obviously internally lamenting about not having a girlfriend and then he gets offed. This movie also has the most unintimidating killer in a horror movie, getting attacked by someone's middle aged mom doesn't seem that scary. At least she had the element of surprise for all the others but then gives up her game to the Final Girl, I guess since she was the only one and thought she would be easy. FG also made some dumb decisions but that's pretty standard for horror movies. Like, you knocked her out, take her keys and use her jeep! Then after beheading her, she...jumps in a boat to float out in the lake? But it sets up a nice jump scare there! I've seen the original Halloween and that was a much better slasher movie than F13 but from what I understand, the F13 series is overall more entertaining.
  6. Probably but Caddyshack is a comedy classic that never gets old!
  7. Good episode, I liked the callback to ANH with Sabine's training and that they're alluding to anyone can learn to use the Force. To heck with midichlorians! But someone should should really let the villains know when a force user is on the hull of the ship blocking shots, you should probably aim for other parts of it. :P
  8. Mr Mom! Just randomly threw it on even though I have some other movies higher on my list. It's an okay 80s comedy but wow is it dated. Was the average guy really that inept at housework in the 80s? Even I was able to figure out laundry the first time I did it, it wasn't that hard. And cooking, c'mon! Throw some pasta in hot water for ten minutes and throw sauce on it after, done! I guess ramen wasn't a thing in the 80s, either? :P And this movie is an HR nightmare! From the offices filled with smoke and the comments towards women, these guys wouldn't last a day in an office now. Well, maybe some offices...and then there is the boss trying to talk the wife into leaving Keaton and marrying him near the end. Like WTF, dude. This movie would definitely not be made today or at least not without some major changes. Still, worth seeing for early Keaton as he is pretty funny throughout it.
  9. Isn't it also, like...really cold in space, too? Or is that a different type of cold? I'm not up on my space facts!
  10. I got one better, Meg 2! Seriously, I saw it so you don't have to. Take my word for it, it's bad.
  11. Just looked it up, the whole movie is on Youtube for viewing convenience! 80s comedies are some of the the best. That reminds me I need to add the Porky's movies to my list.
  12. These are all getting added! Spacehunter looks especially good. Regarding Horner, I do like the track from Aliens when they first encounter them and Ripley is heading the rescue. That track is great! So he's repetitive but he does put out good ones.
  13. I liked it but I agree about Hera. The actress does not feel like her at all to me, whereas I have no problems with Ahsoka and Sabine. Hera feels like a cosplayer and not the character herself. Sucks because she was my favorite from Rebels!
  14. Krull! Special effects are super dated but the movie itself is awesome! The main guy was really likable, even for a young prince turned king, they made him a pretty caring guy. It was nice to have a character like that, willing to throw himself into danger for people he barely knew, like when he tried saving the drowning guy in the swamp. And can I mention how bad some of the deaths are? For a fun, light-hearted adventure movie, there were some gruesome deaths. From getting finger-nailed in the neck, drowning in quicksand, getting crushed between walls, eaten by a giant spider, getting slowly impaled, some characters got it really bad. Funny thing about the deaths is the characters always move on fast, it's like well they're dead, we have to keep moving LOL. The main guy didn't even bury his dad! Him and the Obi-Wan guy just up and leave the castle with a ton of bodies lying around. Even Qui-Gon didn't get a good death scene, just shot and is like tell my 7th wife I loved her. Best characters were the cyclops and the bandit leader, they were both fun. Oh, and it had Hagrid! It took me a while to realize that was the same actor. It was weird to me that all the characters acknowledge other worlds even though they appear to be a fairly primitive society, like medieval. They took the whole being invaded by aliens thing in stride. And the king and princess's son is going to rule an entire galaxy? I'd like to know how that works! Glave is an awesome weapon! Too bad it got used once and then is just lost while stuck to the head bad guy. But who needs it when you have flame hands? Last thing, the soundtrack! I had to check the composer because I swear this had very similar music to Star Trek II and sure enough, James Horner did both! Seriously, listen to the opening themes to both and tell me they don't sound alike!
  15. I've been to Arizona to visit relatives and it was awful in the summer. I think it was hotter at night than the daytime, it was like the heat just emanated off the pavement! Dry heat, my butt! Doesn't matter if it's like 100+. It's finally cooled off here, only in the 70s and not humid finally.
  16. That one is on my list! I have a bunch of 80s movies queued up, amazing how many I have heard of but never seen. I just got crap from some older co-workers that I haven't even seen the old Friday the 13 movies. I think I only saw the Freddy vs Jason movie and the outer space one. Was deciding on a few at the moment, thinking of the OG F13, Rocky and Dead Heat. Might do Krull instead, now I have to add Excalibur because that looks good, too! I'll take all recommendations, no matter how bad!
  17. Dragonslayer! This movie was old but is amazeballs! I really enjoyed that it seems like a typical fantasy movie but subverts a lot of what you might expect from one. Like the princess offering herself up after she discovers her name wasn't included in the lottery and that the hero doesn't save her in time. The boy who is revealed to be a girl in disguise to avoid the lottery. Also, it was nice that instead of other villagers being pissed about finding that out that they were all like "Damn, that was smart of her dad". Plus, the wizard! The way he says at the beginning that he isn't worried about traveling so far but it's revealed he let himself be Obi-Waned so he could be brought back to help later. That was great! And then the king takes all the credit for the kill LOL. Effects weren't great for the dragon flying scenes but they were good for the fight in the cave and when it would rise up in front of someone. Highly recommended if you have never seen it!
  18. And what's the deal with these mutant kids being super strong when they grow up? The Barbarian movie had the same thing. I think in real life they would have all kinds of health issues LOL.
  19. Saw Cobweb the other day. It was okay, first half was better but once the reveal happened toward the end it became a by the numbers monster movie.
  20. CoLA

    Barbie

    I'm waiting for streaming but I do want to see it despite not being a Barbie fan.
  21. Added to the list! So Miracle Mile...it wasn't bad! It's from 1988 but it feels like something that came out around 1982 to me. About a guy who randomly finds out from a phone call that nukes are about to start dropping and as more people find out, the city starts descending into chaos! So he spends the movie trying to save himself and a woman he just met. Overall I liked it but it's not a movie with a happy ending as they both end up in the La Brea tar pits after the helicopter they were in crashes.
  22. Get a dashcam! I have one for my car just in case of situations like this. If you had one when this happened, you could have just showed the cops the video after to prove what happened right there.
  23. So I've decided to check out some older movies that I've never seen but have heard of or at least seen a poster for. First up, Nightmares (1983)! Sooo...I like horror anthologies but this one was really bad. First one is just a woman goes out for cigarettes while a serial killer is on the loose and of course comes across him. But she didn't know as he was hiding in her back seat while she was driving! At least the gas station attendant was nice enough to shoot him for her. Also, she now no longer smokes LOL. Next story has Emilio Estevez as a kid obsessed with getting to the mythical level 13 of an arcade game, Bishop of Battle. He's so obsessed he breaks into the mall in the middle of the night to play it. Unfortunately for him, getting to level 13 means the game characters leave it and try to kill him for real. He blasts a bunch of them before getting away only to be caught in the garage by the Bishop himself! His friend, looking for him the next day, finds he is now stuck in the game to play it forever! Or until someone unplugs the game. Next is Lance Henrikson as a priest who has lost his faith! He leaves his parish with just his car, $100 and a can of holy tap water. This ends up being a good choice as the devil, driving a black pick up, runs him off the road and tries to kill him! Luckily, throwing a canister of holy water is enough to vaporize the truck. He ends up getting his faith back and heads back to the parish. Last we have the other woman from the first Alien movie as a wife with a jerk husband and a daughter in danger of being eaten by a giant rat living under their house. Major LOL at the "giant rat" effects, BTW. Anyway, the rat is terrorizing them since the dad set a trap that killed it's baby but fortunately all is cool after the dad gives the dead baby rat back to momma rat as it just up and leaves with it, presumably to now terrorize another house in the neighborhood. Hope they get the word out! Next up...Miracle Mile! I'll also take recommendations. No movie is too bad or cheesy for me!
  24. AI art, AI videos, AI voices, these characters can keep looking the same forever! It'll be like comics where they never age.
