TEEN FICTION SPOILER ALERT:

Raises the question of whether that revelation really adds anything. I liked that book as a 15 year old pussy - ie, the target audience - but even then I thought that some was just transparent button-pushing, whether it was well handled (the trip to the abortion clinic) or not (the molestation).

Bill Paxton is consistently the worst thing about aliens. I realize he has many of the iconic lines, but they're iconic because his braying hillbilly shriek burrows into your head and stays there. He's like the Ke$ha of that movie.

Yeah, the shots where Harrison ford is digitally manipulated into shifting in the frame - whether to dodge greedo's laser blast or to step on jabba's tail - are embarrassingly awkward. Just blurry and choppy and ugly. It makes me think of the simpsons episode where poochie returns to his home planet and the animators

Blad runner is an odd duck of a film. I have to agree that the final cut is the most satisfying, artful, and engrossing version of the movie - but a lot of my comprehension of the movie and its world is dependent upon my having seen the theatrical version first. I don't think the narration adds that much, but it is

Allegedly there were plans to restore the ending of taxi driver years ago (the color palette had to be desaturated to make the blood look less intense and avoid an x rating), but the negative was too degraded. seems like something you could do with a computer - get that Lucas fella on it. And add some flying monkeys!

Yeah, I was thinking as I read this article, "isn't there another version of close encounters that tightens then pacing but loses the mothership?"

Everyone knows that the ewoks celebrate the liberation of their planet by singing that happy "jub jub" song and doing cartwheels. I don't understand why Lucas would try to refute that fact.

Hey baby, do you come with the car?
