is that "I've given birth to The Devil" (baby hulks out) bit SUPPOSED to be funny?
Because the comic timing on that would do Chuck Jones proud.

So she's DEFINITELY going to be castrating some guys.

Think it's absurd to do them in the modern day, though; the real appeal of the Uni Monsters AS a shared universe is that they live in a crazy, stylized world full of castles and weird machines and two full moons a week.

waitaminnit…. are YOU a sniper?

Well, of course (and Jason's decline at the BO was directly linked to Freddy's rise).
But when I said the rip-offs were better, I meant the full-fledged copies, like MY BLOODY VALENTINE or THE BURNING or even the more recent HATCHET films.

They're so bad, even some of the blatant rip-offs are better than them.

Never liked the FRIDAY THE 13th movies. Period. That thing I just said about "the first one's usually good, or at least interesting"? F13 may be the only long-running franchise where that simply doesn't apply. I'm convinced he was only successful because a major studio gave him a "push" that the low-budget competition…

The same audience that doesn't get that the humor in a film like BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN is intentional are the same that won't cut Moore slack, either.
Basically, the Uni films live by the same standards as all horror film franchises (heck, most franchises in general) throughout the decades: The first one in each…

Don't think Universal hasn't thought about it: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-r…

In truth, you're not wrong… but let's be honest- most popular film series don't hold up decades later. Just look at Roger Moore-era James Bond, or that entire trilogy of Star Wars films that no one likes.

man, the 1970s, eh?

(and while I'm pretty sure he did SOME research to play Dr Frank N. Furter, I am almost certain he didn't stitch together a corpse and try to have sex with it.)

When Tim Curry was approached to play Cardinal Richileau in THE 3 MUSKETEERS, he told the director he'd need a month to do research; playing a real historical figure properly requires extra effort to get the details right.
Then the director told him he wasn't playing the "REAL" Richileau; he was just playing…

oh bother

"_____ is for Closers!"

Probably not as unclean as you were when you left.

I saw the pilot, and remember the characters all being pissed off about one thing or another.
So yeah, it really DID capture that 1980s vibe.

Spielberg wanted to scrap the whole damn project after the accident (he hadn't shot his sequence yet); he literally begged the studio to at least remove that episode from the final cut (because who wants THAT shadow hanging over your movie?). When Warners told him he was contractually obligated to finish the film,…

Say what you like about the overall quality of his shows; Schwartz knew how to cast 'em.

Heck, the ORIGINAL was a reboot; it was loosely based on a comic ("Space Family Robinson")
And it kind of rebooted itself; the early episodes (mostly written by future STAR TREK writer Shimon Wincelberg) played things more or less straight, with the Robinsons stranded on a planet, and Doctor Smith as a more realistic…
