Everybody just lay off of 'Equinox!' That's a scary movie, and I'm still scared of park rangers.
Not necessarily, though that's what many Americans seem to want. But a good one would have been nice. At least two of those other three endings would have been a much better place to stop the movie (tossing out the child once the real child was cured and sitting in front of the statue under the sea) than the horribly muddled and unsatisfied ending that the movie mercifully stopped with.
I'm curious, though. On what ground do you consider it "ambitious"?
I saw Santa Claus Counquers the Martians a few weeks ago on our local high school cable channel. One very very very weird movie.
But hey... Santa has a reindeer named "Nixon."
And who can forget:
S-a-n-t-a-c-l-a-u-s
Hooray for Santy Claus!
You spell it
S-a-n-t-a-c-l-a-u-s
Hooray for Santy Claus!
Hooray for Santy Claus!
Yeah yeah for Santy Claus
He's fat and round, but jumpin' jiminy
He can climb down any chim-neyyyy
When we hear sleigh bells ring
our hearts go ting-a-ling
cause there'll be presents under the tree
Hooray for Santy Claus!
Now all year long at the North Pole
He's busy making toys
but he knows just what you're doing
so you better be good girls and boys
Hang up that mistletoe
soon you'll hear ho ho ho
on Christmas day you'll wake up
and you'll say
Hooray for Santy Claus!
Yeah Yeah
Yeah Yeah
Yeah Yeah
Hooray!
Hang up that misteltoe
soon you'll hear ho ho ho
on Christmas day you'll wake up
and you'll say
Hooray for Santy Claus!
S-a-n-t-a-c-l-a-u-s
Hooray for Santy Claus!
You spell it
S-a-n-t-a-c-l-a-u-s
Hooray for Santy Claus!
Hooray for Santy Claus!
Hooray for Santy Claus!
I think I was 12 when it came out, Naj. Forgive me, for I have sinned.
When I saw Blair Witch, Mike Tyson was a few rows behind me, that was scary.
I just sat there trying not to yell at the screen during that movie.
Agree, but I would gladly accept the $150 million the movie took in plus the $24 million CD income and all the merchandising megabucks the movie has made and will continue to make. It's a $$$$ bombshell and Hwood can't figure it all out..
Never saw it because it seemed too long for me....
A good war movie that I saw, and was surprised at it was "Enemy At the Gates". Its about two Snipers trying to kill each other during the battle for Stalingrad. I thought it was a hell of a war movie..
Hun,
If you knew the movies *I* loved as a kid!
Like I just LOVED the Monkee's movie :)
Did you cover your ears?
Haven't been to a movie all year so I don't even know what's playing. Used to enjoy the movies but the liberal leftwing crap coming out of H'weird coupled with the high price of a ticket to support liberal leftist demoncRATs lifestyle turned me off completely. The last movie I saw was LOTR--Return of the King in January 2004.
You mean "Head" the one Jack Nicholson directed?
That's wild.
I love Finding Nemo. I have watched it half a dozen times and think it's a great movie.
Huh? When a science fiction picture can't even get the science close to right, it puts the whole premise into question. Even the sappy "The Day After", a hokey, made-for-TV POS about the after effects of an A-bomb attack on Kansas, had the good sense to get the effects of the Electro-Magnetic Pulse right.
It's the little things that make the difference between a flop and a blockbuster, if you ask me!
"What was I thinking?" Yea ... I had a moment like that when I saw "Animal House" last summer for the first time in 20 years.
Oh yea.
Poseidon Adventure
I saw a new movie over the weekend. Well, it was new for me. "The Court Jester" with Danny Kaye had me in stitches. There were no explosions, no sex scenes, no curse words, and no openly gay characters. Hollywood doesn't make movies like that anymore.
