And possibly worth your $8 just to see it...and heck it's 180 minutes long too!
Thanks for the info- I'll skip that one.

Remember, the majority of the potential audience for KONG (25 and under) probably hasn't seen the '33 original or the '76 remake. Or if they have, they think they were cheesy. I know that sounds like blasphemy to us "true" film fans, but just ask your "average" teenager. They ar...

LOST IN LA MANCHA was incredibly entertaining and I urged all my friends to watch it. Gilliam is a bit too full of himself. I saw the trailer for his new film today and I thought it looked like territory he'd be comfortable in, but it remains to be seen if it's good or not. I personally thought that...

No offense taken- I'm basing my thoughts on the trailers I've seen. THE TERMINAL fell short- I agree with your opinion that the ending was unsatisfying. CMIYC wasn't bad; it just didn't keep my attention as much as some of his other stuff. Granted, the themes of family dysfunctionality, the lack of ...

Just saw BB- and I was more happy with the movie on the whole than I thought I'd be. I really enjoyed the first half of the film- I loved the backstory. I thought the film was much more dark and more moody (stylistic) than its predecessors, and I thoroughly enjoyed that. The complaints I have are re...

As much as I liked LOTR, I'm also not willing to buy into Jackson's directing talent. It's interesting that he followed up LOTR with KONG- another film which will be a CGI showcase. I would like to see him do something without the CGI now that he's got the name and the "pick of the litter"...

117 minutes??? I was getting used to those 2.5 hour films! In a way I'm kind of glad that I am not hearing any advance press on this film. I AM sick of hearing about Tom Crusie and Katie Holmes, though. Who in the world could possibly care about them? I'm a bit jaded because I live in Columbus and H...

KING KONG and remakes

I was talking to a friend of mine at work about how annoyed I was getting with all the remakes coming out- I think his mention of THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE spawned the discussion. He made a good point- he said that we've reached a point where the younger generation doesn't even know about these movie...

Cinderella Man and Ron Howard

Has anyone seen CINDERELLA MAN? If so, what did you think? And what do you think of Ron Howard as a director? I thought the film's fight sequences were pretty good (a colorized RAGING BULL), but it disturbed me that we saw Braddock through "rose colored glasses". I hope this isn't a spoile...

I wen to bed last night and thought about another one (in conjunction with another thread out there)- how about a special edition of the original KING KONG? I'm not sure how good or bad Jackson's KONG will be, but at least they might be able to make a more fierce looking Kong with all the CGI stuff....

I am a huge David Fincher fan and would love to see THE GAME get a deluxe release (a la FIGHT CLUB and SEVEN)- I love Howard Shore's score for THE GAME. Any word on that Andy?

I agree that BLADE RUNNER would be awesome to have as a special edition....I'd definitely vote for that!

I have been secretly hoping that show would be released on DVD- it is one of my all-time favorites. My family and I watched it every time it came on TV and it was solid entertainment. I loved the Blad Eagle, the judges, Pigs in Space, Vet's Hospital, and the News Flashes....great stuff.

None of the above posts surprise me- all I'm really interested in at this point is the possibility of having complete scores on CD for Episodes II and III. I had a feeling last year that he'd release another box set once Episode III came out on DVD- I should have waited. I still have the box set of ...
