    Ha! Found the movie I was looking for a few weeks ago...

    Is the werewolf a fake in that movie? It's been many years since I've seen it, but I could swear it was a real monster. I also read the book, but the only thing I remember from that is that the curse is of viking origin. And while I'm here, I'll hijack the thread, too. :) I'm looking for...

    How Powerful is Magneto?

    That would be Wolverine...who is also now ridiculously powerful. Back when I was reading X-Men, it took him an hour to heal from a gunshot wound. Now, from what I've seen, he can regenerate from a skeleton by the next panel. Now he's harder to kill than the Hulk or Superman.

    [Rant] Bothered by Blockbuster

    I usually shop at Wal-Mart, too. I'm not too picky and they tend to have what I'm looking for at the best prices. The only thing I regret buying there was my dual Emmerson VCR/DVD recorder. After a week, it died. It just shut off while I was transfering a tape to DVD. Ate my tape and ruined...

    [Rant] Bothered by Blockbuster

    It isn't just Blockbuster. I had a similar problem with a "Mom & Pop" video store. One day, I got a phone call telling me that my copy of Legend Of Bagger Vance was overdue. I told them that I never rented the movie. The girl apologized and I thought that was the end of it. The next...

    Best on TV Right Now? Post Your Opinion.

    I'll add another vote for Battlestar Galactica. Also, I caught the first two episodes of Dexter during my free Showtime preview weekend. This is a really good series. I'll probably pick up the DVDs to see how it turns out.

    BattleStar Galactica:Season 3.0--10/06/06--Arc 1

    This alone is reason enough for the suicide bombings to be a bad idea. Every time Tigh has been put in a position to make a decision, it's always the wrong one. Remember when he was in command when Adama was shot? How many mistakes did he make then? Offhand, I can think of: Ordered a jump...

    Do Superheroes Fight Bad Guys Anymore?

    I just found out that Marvel has the next "Big, Stupid Crossover" already planned: World War Hulk. In it, the Hulk returns to Earth and seeks revenge on those heroes who've wronged him. It'll probably be (badly) written by Mark Millar. So, after ruining Iron Man, Black Panther, Mr...

    Do Superheroes Fight Bad Guys Anymore?

    Civil War was a horrible idea badly executed. Marvel's gotten so bad with the big crossovers, lack of continuity, and late books. How long until Quesada's gone and they fix this mess?

    In Remembrance...Celebrities In 2006.

    On Oct. 5th, Antonio Pena, founder of Mexican pro wrestling federation AAA (Asistencia Asesoría y Administración, aka Triple A) died of a heart attack at age 53.

    New Movies on the Way from Amazon - Which to Watch First?

    Frukathka, did you get the Elvira's Movie Macabre version of Werewolf Of Washington? The Elvira discs are a lot of fun. I picked them all up. You should really check out Frankenstein's Castle of Freaks. One of my favorite bad movies. And how can you resist a Frankenstein movie with a...

    Knight Rider movie news!

    The only thing I have to say is that it better have Garthe Knight and Goliath in it! :)

    Quintessential but obscure 80s movies...?

    Did anyone mention CLUE?

    Legion of Super Heroes

    I thought it was pretty good. I do wish they were allowed to use the "Superboy" name. Clark looks too strange to be a SuperMAN (not to mention that it stands out amidst all the Boys, Lads, Kids, Girls, etc). For those that don't know, DC lost a lawsuit with the estate of Jerry Siegel over...

    I got this off of Wikipedia:

    Jackie Chan Quits...

    It isn't about splitting hairs, but a missed point. You said that Rocky IV's scope "did not encompass all foreigners". That was my point! I was talking about a film that portrayed all foreigners as being evil. As you said, Rocky IV didn't do that. I also said that I had no problem with a...

    New Teen Titans Tonight

    It was a pretty good movie, although I was hoping we would get some kind of resolution to Terra's reappearance. I hope there are more movies in the future. Wikipedia says that the next movie, based on The Judas Contract story, isn't connected to this series. :( BTW, anyone know why they...

    Jackie Chan Quits...

    No, I didn't say that. Doesn't anyone actually read my posts? :\ You are right, it was about America vs Russian. My point was (once again for clarity) it didn't claim that all foreigners are bad. Here's my original post: If Rocky IV took place in an international competition in which...

    Jackie Chan Quits...

    Not to drag this out, but like I said, I have no problem with a foreign group as a threat or a villain who happens to be foreign. My point is when the villains are all from different places with no connection to one another and are just evil for evil's sake (and there isn't a single good...

    Jackie Chan Quits...

    I was thinking the same thing, however, it is a little different with some of these movies. I can overlook the evil guy who happens to be foreign or villains who represent a foreign government or group (like, say, The Russian Mob). The problem I have is when many different people from very...

    Jackie Chan Quits...

    I wish he would have gone out on something original, too. Isn't this the plot of, like, half of his period kung-fu films? :\
