So many good ones. "Taxi Driver" captured it pretty damn well. So damn slimy. The city was an extra character in that film.

Ha, those few episodes where Chrissie is reduced to talking on the phone are pretty painful. John Ritter was just amazing on that show. He was my favorite growing up. Such an underrated comic actor with amazing timing.

I watch this movie every time it's on. That big board! The graphics! Dabney Coleman to Berry Corbin: "I don't have to take that, you pig-eyed sack of shit." Honestly, it's magical.

Man, I would watch that. Sigh…I've lost count of how many things GSN has dropped the ball on. Jeez, all it is now is a goddamned 24-hour Family Feud fest.

I think you are right. I suppose it just has the feeling of genuine improvisation, which makes the whole thing feel like it's flying on the seat of its pants. They seem like the kind of guys who might purposefully throw in something new just to screw around.

You know, you might be right…I'm not even sure! I guess I meant I'd like one that wasn't a remake so we wouldn't have to worry about all the old story points and rhythms.

This is a great point. It adds to the loneliness and hopelessness of the situation the kids in Halloween face and reminds me of being a kid, too—looking back through the lens of now, if that makes sense. We were on our own so much back then, could just take off on a bike and disappear with friends for hours until well…

Totally anarchy on film. Long, rambling improvs, musical interludes…Groucho was the absolute best.

I love it, too. Can I interest you in buttermilk and sandwiches?

Well, of course, DeNiro and Pacino, too, haven't been in anything epic in 20 years. They are all phoning it in. And unlike the poster above, who seemed to think I was being sexist in criticizing Meryl—well, that's not where I am coming from at all. I simply mean that Meryl hasn't really been a part of that many…

I wonder about Meryl. Pauline Kael thought she was an android. I mean, I know she really is one of our greatest actresses, and she seems like she is incredibly cool and open-minded and all of that. And I'm not trying to hate on someone just to hate on someone. Do we really think she is our greatest actress? Has she…

Ha, I'm with you. The cheering started! We were all so happy! And, fuck, not five minutes in and we all knew it sucked.

The film is so so so so boring. Would a tighter edit have made it bearable or is it just shit from the ground up? I'm thinking the latter.

I would watch this movie a million times. Is there some YouTube renegade who can put this kind of thing together with existing and doctored footage? Come on…one of you guys has to do it. Would be a bonanza. Gungan deaths, Jar Jar torture, young Anakin falling out of the sky…so many possibilities. So many wonders that…

"Who?"

Still remember the audience booing in the theater when he almost picked up Indy's hat at the end of Crystal Skull. How the fuck did they think LeDick could hold Ford's jock? I mean, hat?

This is a really great idea—if they're going to do it at all. Fuck all this reboot, origin story bullshit. I wish they'd just leave it alone, but if they are gonna cash grab, then at least do something different. People are going to line up for Indy no matter what.

I think I've asked this before…what are the legit chances someone will reboot the prequels? After Lucas is dead? Would it be a silly retcon—you know, just let it go already? Or is there enough passion and disappointment that someone will take up the challenge? Maybe as an animated thing? Ah, hell, I don't know. I…

I was 9 when I saw it, and I don't hate it. Ronald Weisenheimer below here pretty much sums it all up. The hate seems pretty recent, maybe when the first special editions first came out? With all that stupid shit like the new musical number?

Very nice comment. I've watched Letterman since 1985 or so. His old show was just so damn weird and wonderful. There was nothing like it. Now we have late night out the ass. It was just so cool to stay up an hour later and watch this guy after Carson who really had such an askew worldview and didn't really look like…
