And are they wearing…significantly…less?

Watching Star Trek used to restore my faith in humanity, not confirm my most cynical suspicions about our species.

I…didn't. Therefore, I think it must be dumb.

I had read a synopsis of the plot beforehand, and thought the Kirk/Spock switcheroo at the climax was the dumbest thing I'd ever heard of. Then I got all old and sentimental when I saw it today, and had to supress my audible sobbing.

Not as long as movie-making men keep getting older.

Remember? How you loved looking at the mini and go-go boots? On Uhura? Welcome. To Takei's. Timeline.

I was watching REPULSION with my boyfriend at the time, and a third "friend" showed up unexpectedly to watch with us. He left about 20 minutes in because it was freaking him out too much. YES! IT WORKED!

I was just high on some really strong grass when I saw it, and it freaked me out so bad I had to take a break. I'd say that was probably about perfect.

I caught Twin Peaks on VHS a few years after it ended, and I loved it - just blown away. It wasn't until I saw Mulholland Drive, though, that I realized that Lynch was very sincere about what he did, and showed. Even though it was often humorous, his work wasn't satire or just "weird for weird's sake". This made me

Ah, what's it gonna do, come in through the window and eat you? Oh.

Then you'll appreciate this. The FIRST movie I remember seeing, the very first movie, was 101 Dalmations. I remember sitting on the front stoop after, excitedly explaining it to my grandmother (looking up at her, of course, because I was about 3 years old): "And the DOGS all talked! ALL the animals talked, the HORSES

The dragon effects were actually revolutionary, I even remember reading at the time. Something like a new computerized camera system, so the camera moved precisely with the stop-action model, making it far more realistic than stop-action had ever been before.

Dragonslayer has its weaknesses, but the effects are really special, and the cast is superb. Black Hole has some good things, I guess, but the effects are AWFUL, and the cast is…just weird, weird, weird.

It's not for everyone, or everyone would love it. Even without the narration, it almost surely would never have been a "hit". I personally love it, but it sounds like you've at least approached it with an open mind.

"Where's Les? Wheeeeere's Les Nessman?" That's my favorite.

When I saw the Friday the 13th remake, a group of kids seated beside me brought a 12pack of beer in with them, which was annoying, but the movie wasn't really worth paying attention to anyway. The kicker was one of them decided to cross in front of me at the exact moment that the only good murder happened. I guess I

Well now I know of three of us.

I didn't watch The New Normal at all at first, because it looked and sounded so awful (and I have a feeling that it was). I started watching it later, I'm not totally sure when it was in the run of the show. Ellen Barkin was hardly featured at all, and when she was she didn't seem to be the center of the show as it

The Wrath Of Khan played at a 10PM showing on a Saturday here a couple years ago, and I still regret not going to see it one more time in the theatre. Seeing it the first time is actually one of my favorite movie memories - the word of mouth had already been great, there was a line around the block, and of course it

It's funny, I wouldn't pass up the chance to see many of Spielberg's classics again in the theatre, even now. But when E.T. was rereleased in 2002, I was so uninterested in seeing it again that I almost felt weird about it. I had definitely loved it when it was new, but somehow it just seemed like its time had passed.
