Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Masters of the Universe It's been one of my favorites since I had it on VHS taped off the movie channels. Langella as Skeletor...my God. What a manly character. I never understood why Castle Grayskull wasn't his to begin with. He's Skeletor. It looks like bad guy headquarters. What gives? Something I realized this time through was that the regeneration effect from Doctor Who (2005-present) was ripped off from Skeletor's transformation scene. It looks exactly the same.

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 My dad taped it off Channel 7 in 1989, and then the 1966 Batman after it on the same tape from the same channel. He left the ads in, so it's always fun to rewatch that and reminisce how different marketing was back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Mine was also taped around the time the 1966 Batman TV show and the movie were taped! The one episode I remember watching over and over was the one with Zelda (sexy lady who ends up in prison at the end) where Batman and Robin end up trapped in a box.

KK 3,307 Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me Hmmm. So that didn't sit too well with me. But there were moments that really shone. Moments that really added to the Twin Peaks mythology, and moments where I felt genuine remorse and sympathy for Laura Palmer. I can see Lynch's motivations behind this film; a haunting portrait of a tortured teenage girl, though she may not look it. But its execution just did not click with me.

bollemanneke 3,348 Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Under the Tuscan sun. Mostly good, I suppose, though there was just a tiny little bit too much romance in it (epsecially those two annoying teenagers). This was my second Diane Lane film in two weeks and I must say I really like her. She wasn't always equally convincing when she was crying, but the good performances made up for the bad one. I was also pleasantly surprised by the score, had no idea Christophe Beck could write romantic music like that. The only score I knew him from -- All About Steve -- was rather dull.

bollemanneke 3,348 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 About Time. The first half was all right and there were good jokes throughout the film, but now I'm just discovering one problem after the other in this film. If you want to make a movie about time travel, shouldn't your time travel theories be clear-cut? First, we're told that only the men in this family can travel through time. Later, the main character travels in time with his sister. Second, we're told that they can't travel (back) to the future, so why do they do it repeatedly afterwards? Third, we're told that you can't change events that take place before the birth of a child because changing things in the past might lead to a different child. Later, the son uses this rule to stop visiting his dad in the past when his wife is expecting their third child, but this doesn't make any sense at all: if they don't change anything during those extra visits, all the children will be fine. Oh, but I'm forgetting, we can't do without all the hugs and drama that result from those decisions... I didn't like the main character and actor either, got bored with his mother who was literally being sarcastic all the time no matter what, but did like Lydia Wilson. The score is all right, but nothing special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
