Yes, it was tragic he died. Perhaps I should have waited a day or two, but I don't think that would have mattered since some people would still feel I was unfairly criticizing him.

Sorry for annoying everyone. It wasn't my indention. But, while people work around alligators and crocs everyday, they don't take their kids in with them. They know better. We're not talking about putting your kid on the hood of your car here. It's the equivalent of a lion tamer taking his...

On one of the morning show (The Today Show, I think), one of the hosts talked about the incident where he took his baby in with the crocs. He said that this event shouldn't overshadow his life, and then they showed a clip of Irwin defending his actions. He came off as a weirdo, saying that...

I've heard about the "9 films" story before. However, I've also heard people say that Lucas denied that he ever had such a plan. Then again, I've heard that he denied that the Christmas Special ever happened as well. :) Anyway, his reps released a statement saying that he isn't doing 9...

I'm more bothered by incosistent accents. I caught part of a viking movie on TV and the accents were all over the place. Some either had Scandinavian accents or tried to do them, while others were British and white-bread American. When they are all supposed to be from the same village, it's...

So far, the remake is only scoring a 3.7 on IMDB and a 12% positive at Rotten Tomatoes (42 critic reviews, only 5 positive, with a reviewer average of 3.4 out of 10). I doubt this one is going to make anyone's top 10 list.

When first released, Star Wars was just "Star Wars". It was later renumbered "Episode IV: A New Hope". While he may have had the idea of doing 6 films, he (or the studio) wasn't going to label a film as part 4 of a 6 part series unless they knew it was sucessful enough to to even warrant 1...

If he never wanted to make the prequels, why did he renumber the OT as 4-6? Sure, people wanted him to make the prequels he promised, but they wanted good movies. No one "forced" him to make the really crappy prequels he did. In retrospect, many fans would rather that he didn't, but that's...

Sooo, is George Lucas a gutless wonder who caves in to presure or a vile opportunist who's out to make a quick buck? :\ It doesn't matter to me either way. The prequels killed most of my interest in Star Wars. I'll still buy the occasional video game (like the first Battlefront), but I...

No one was complaining about the originals. The problem is that he won't stop tinkering with them.

Oh c'mon, guys! How many times have you watched the episode with the space hippies and thought, "This would be so much better with some CGI."? Or, "I want to see Spock's Brain digitally remastered with computer-generated effects."? ;)

Yeah, part of the reason I bought the first one on tape years ago was because of all the praise. It was okay, but not worthy of the hype. What I thought was weird was that all the reviewers seemed to sympathize with the cult members, because they view the cop as coming in, holier than thou...

I was simply responding to the question you posed. I don't care enough about Tarantino to start a thread about him. You can find out about any comparisons with a quick search of the net. Resevoir Dogs is actually a better made film than City On Fire, btw.

Resevoir Dogs is a rip-off of Ringo Lam's City On Fire.

Spanish horror actor Paul Naschy once proposed a horror TV dealing with a bunch of evil characters looking for the crown Lucifer wore when he was cast out of heaven. I have no idea if there's any basis to that myth (i.e., Lucifer having a crown), but that would make for a good, controversial...

Mr. Vampire (and it's sequels). And Legend Of The 7 Golden Vampires, if you want a British/Hong Kong co-production. There are also a bunch of terrible movies, like Robo Vampire and Dragon Against Vampire. EDIT: There's also a movie by Tsui Hark (although I don't know if he directed or just...

If you want to run a Buffy game like Tarantino, just watch a whole bunch of 70s exploitation films from Italy and Japan (plus a few odd ones from other parts of the world), and lift 90% of the characters and plots. ;)

According to Wikipedia: Also, something else of interest to Darkplace fans... So, there will be a DVD release, a movie, and a Dean Learner talk show. Granted, it's Wikipedia, but I'm hoping it's all true. :D

Why would someone escape from prison after serving their full term? They're not in prison anymore. ;) I kind of agree with this to a certain extent. However, the Joker has already been ruled criminally insane, so you can't execute him (and I doubt whatever state Gotham is in has the death...

How would you recognize any cartoony character as an ethnic group? Unless you use some sort of visual shorthand like "red hair equals Irish", it's pretty impossible. True, he could pass as being Indian or, perhaps, Latino, but so could Jafar. Does Pocahontas look Native American or...
