The "Maximillian Schell goes to hell and merges bodies with Maximillian the evil robot and overlooks hell from a mountain" is one of my favorite scenes in any movie. It's so damn weird, the visuals are so striking, and the score is so portentous. I love it. I can kinda take or leave the rest of the movie, though

I think you have to be trying to see the dubbed version at this point.

Well, 2 might be a riff on that, but 1 is a riff on the standard movie about a non-violent man being moved to revenge by some tragic event (usually involving dead and/or raped family members) ala Death Wish. 2's originality is primarily in the incredible costume design and setting (which led to legions of ripoffs), 1

Ugh, Jane Seymour in Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger is so beautiful it makes me angry. Her and Caroline Munro in Golden Voyage of Sinbad were major figures in making 10 year old me realize not all girls are icky. :P

Dumb as it is, I would rank Moonraker towards the top of the Moore ones. At least it's entertaining. I'd MUCH rather watch it than Live and Let Die or View to a Kill, and probably Man with the Golden Gun or Octopussy too. Spy Who Loved Me and to a lesser extent For Your Eyes Only are the only "good" ones he did.

There are fan edits out there in HD (ala those Harmy star wars edits), but there's nothing commercial, no.

I was in the same boat for a while. On about the third viewing of Mad Max I loved it. I'd still put Fury Road and The Road Warrior way, way above it though.

Yeah, I hate that it's the only version available on blu-ray.

She just seemed like one of the many mean Asari characters in Mass Effect. Same look, same general behavior/voice. All she was missing were crappy blue "biotics" or whatever the spells were called.

Yeah, this about sums it up. It was kind of like Gabourey Sidibe, where there was a tinge of "no one will ever hire this person again, wasn't Hollywood so nice for giving them a chance?!" to much of the coverage.

Good catch. The first thing I came here for was some kind of explanation of why the heck Varys was on the ship with Danaerys after being in Dorne earlier in the ep. They could definitely have made that clearer, I had no idea they were supposed to be allied.

Ah yes. I forgot about that. It's on my list of shows I need to check out.

CW has several actual good shows now, though. Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and Jane the Virgin in particular! Their superhero shows are allegedly pretty good too, though I haven't watched any of them myself. None of those could be described as "young adult angst starring pretty young people" without ignoring their primary

Thanks. I'll probably see it when it reaches the cheap theater, unless I can convince friends to see it earlier. It looks terrible, but I have to support anything that stars Jeff Goldblum!

How open-ended is this? Will seeing it make me sad that part 3 looks like a virtual impossibility, given the box office failure? I like ridiculousness and the whole "dropping asia on europe" and "fighting a giant monster with a giant gun" both sound awesome. But, if nothing is resolved and it's all a set-up for a

FYI the blu-ray of this is a limited edition. If you want to pay non-extortionate prices, you have to get it off Twilight Time's website or Screen Archives's website. It's on sale on the Screen Archives site till July, but it's getting close to sold out.

Those themes in a film directed by Eli Roth? Gimme a break. "Green Inferno" had all the political subtlety of a particularly stupid episode of South Park. "Lol, clicktivists are a joke, no one should care about anything. Also, some clicktivists actually accomplish things, but they are also evil, so you shouldn't

At least the Jodie Foster vehicle "The Brave One" did SOMETHING with the concept, as predictable as it was.

Death Wish 3 is about tied with Commando for funniest example of 80s action. I love it utterly. If it weren't for the rape scene, I'd make everyone I know watch it. As is, I have to talk over that scene to try and distract people :P

Yeah. Make sure you never watch the uncut version (Shout Factory is putting it out soon); fortunately the cheap blu-ray out there right now is heavily censored. The R-rated is heinous enough.
