Older? A little bit colder?

Not that it excuses plot shortcomings, but 80's horror flicks were never concerned with the level of realism and grit we have become accustomed to today. I think the best example is when Hopper sneaks into the facility - its over the top ridiculous…might as well throw in Roddy Piper, Kurt Russel, Sly, etc..None of it

as someone who has loved Bethesda games for a long time, I just couldn't bring myself to purchase it. I can't stand all the junk and dirtiness of the setting. I know its pretty in its own way, but Fallout 4 seemed pretty much the same as 3 and New Vegas. Once I heard it had the same bugs, I got pissed and said no way

(Herzog Narrating): So it was that we found ourselves traversing the cold and bleak landscapes of our souls, training in our so-called gyms, only to find it was in fact the gyms that were training us to endure the fragmentations of our sanity.

All the monster does is voraciously consume - kinda what happens to us once we become adults

Because he lives in a reality where everyone is open to doing lines and having sex

Phantom menace was so 30's serial. Force Awakens sounds cool i guess

yep. Side-note, I think I interviewed for a job at a tech company once and the manager's last name was Kazan. He knew I was a film major and I think I lost the job because I didn't put two and two together that he was related.

Realized tonight Mabel is the same actress who plays Gallinger's insane wife on the Knick. She's cornering the market on doomed turn-of-the-century housewives.

Absolutely

Secret War 3

90's Flash tv show was friggin awesome. Part of the John Wesley Shipp onslaught of that time (and never again). Glad to see JWS got a part in this. I think my own sensibilities as a father were cemented by his 2 minutes in Never Ending Story 2.

"It is I who am honored…without you, I wouldn't have a throne..you may proceed!"

They did a great How Did this Get Made on that one.

It's just really tough to criticize this movie. Is it a timeless classic? I'd say no. But it was just super awesome when it came out and people loved it. It was the convergence of the Costner-Rickman-Mastriano popularity wave that basically culminated in this movie. It even pulled in Slater who had already probably

I think people clapped in the Theater when Sean Connery was revealed to be the King. That's how much people were into this movie when it came out.

"Hey Blinkin!" "Abe Lincoln?" No, I said Heyyy Blinkin!

I thought the Aunt Jemima gag was a riff on The Stand or Lost

Prince of Thieves had its charm. I remember walking out feeling pumped. Everything You Do was a standard Bar-Mitzvah song for years afterwards.

I've actually seen it a few times on cable and don't believe it as bad as it is laid out here. Hey, at least it set the stage for Men in Tights.
