The Seven Magnificent Gladiators
With Lou Ferigno and Sybil Danning. Anyone remember that abysmal retelling of this familiar story? I predict this new version will be even worse than that piece of shit.

No. That was "The Lovely Boners."

Hope they get Rick Wakeman to do the music!

Guy Maddin's "Alpha Flight"

"Guy Who Really Doesn't Like To be Pushed"

I credit most of what people consider Shyamalan's "technical skills" to the fact that he's worked with some talented cinematographers.

Race With The Devil
A personal favorite. Originally saw this at a drive-in when I was a kid. Warren Oates, Peter Fonda, Loretta Swit, RVs, shotguns and Satanists on dirt bikes!

Just a mild attack of erotic madness.

Rise of the Return of the Shadow of the Curse of the Hand of the Ghost of the Revenge of the Planet of the Apes

It's definitely better than his poetry. Even his albums are better than his poetry!

I found 300 both homoerotic and homophobic. Wider audience appeal!

Yes, sarCCastro. Phantom Menace or Jackson's King Kong. Both insufferably dreadful bores.

Now THAT was my kind of interactive TV!

Yes, the "Final Cut" Blu-ray is absolutely stunning to watch. In addition to the visuals, the depth of sound is incredible. You can hear so many things (ambient sounds, street noise, background conversations, even the music!) that are pretty muted in the earlier versions.

Wrong car?
That's a Dodge Charger in the photo.

A little better. Thanks, kid.

Giorgio Moroder has three fucking Oscars. I never feel good when I remember that.

TCM showed it in early October as part of their tribute to the recently-departed Arthur Penn (it was the first half of a double feature with B&C) so it's definitely something they may show again.

None that I know of. He's a producer, and son of legendary head of 20th Century Fox Darryl F. Zanuck.

I still have the VHS copy I bought in the early '90s. It's definitely a unique piece of work. I only saw the sequel once, and that was a long time ago, but I remember it being very disappointing.
