Re: It Had to Happen...KING KONG LIVES on Blu-Ray

It's bad. But very watchably bad. And frizzy haired Linda Hamilton as well! I just rented "King Kong Lives" on Amazon Prime this morning ($2.99) and watched the first bit before heading to work. I like John Scott's score (though it's no "Greystoke") and wanted to hear it in the ...

Re: INDIANA JONES & THE DIAL OF DESTINY - June 30th

Robert Knaus posted a response on Lukas's website that draws an important distinction. He said the complaint isn't about whether there is a female character in the film. The complaint is about the rumored ending - that Indy may be erased from existence and his original heroic exploits be replaced by...

Re: INDIANA JONES 5 - Variety Confirms Doomcock's Disastrous Test Screenings Report

For me, this movie is nothing more than a "showroom" where I can sample John Williams' score to see if it's worth picking up! :lol: I'm also interested in hearing the new (and perhaps last) John Williams score. The question is whether I can work up to caring enough to sit through "Di...

Re: THE FABELMANS - The Last Spielberg/Williams Collaboration - Thanksgiving

I wasn't expecting Superman either -- but Williams has often embellished his albums by writing more developed arrangements of cues ("Preparing the Cage", "Tourists on the Menu", "The Search for Robin"). And as often he's made self-contained arrangements of themes (&quo...

Re: PLANES TRAINS & AUTOMOBILES "Over 75 Minutes of Deleted Scenes" on Upcoming 4K UHD/Blu-Ray

Love this film and watch it with my family every year. I'm also looking forward to seeing the extra footage!

We constantly quoted this movie when I was in jr. high. "Her last baby come out sideways. She didn't scream or nothin'."

Looks more like a spinoff of Deliverance than J.R.R. Tolkien.

Thank you for the news, Andy! Gosh, how I wish you didn't have to pay $100 to get the 1983 broadcast cut. I would love to have that disc!

Re: Rate The Last TV Show Episode You Watched

Welcome, Dirk! Your remarks about "Logan's Run" make me want to revisit that series - it's been a long time since I've watched those episodes. I enjoy the music, too - "pew pew" and all!

Re: Star Trek - The Motion Picture DIRECTOR'S EDITION on Paramount+ Live: Quick Impressions

It's a scene you likely first encountered on ABC, Chris, because it was first restored there on the early network broadcasts in the early '80s, and then again on the "Special Longer Version" home video releases. Of all the additions in the longer/"Director's Edition" cuts it's t...

Re: Star Trek - The Motion Picture DIRECTOR'S EDITION on Paramount+ Live: Quick Impressions

Was the scene with Spock's tear in any of the prints released theatrically in '79? I saw the film in the theater when I was a kid, and I could swear I remember Spock "crying." Is my mind playing tricks on me? Perhaps I'm thinking of a longer TV broadcast version? I haven't seen the "D...

Re: rate the last movie you saw

But ultimately, the biggest problems with The Green Knight are its convoluted, incohesive script, and its agonizingly boring pace, which render the whole movie an emotional flatline. Truly, this is one of the most slow-moving films I've ever seen. I agree with every word of your review, Paul. Great...
