That’s nonsense. The original trilogy (and the prequels, for that matter) were ALL AGES films. They were intended to have elements that appealed to different parts of a general audience in different ways. It was never purely child-aimed nor even fully child-friendly. Remember burnt skeletons and dismemberments in the…

I enjoyed Howard for what it was, a cheesy fun romp through camptown. Anyone who tried to take it seriously was bound for disappointment but as a tongue in cheek “so bad it’s awesome” fun film it’s a blast.

PS: I also understand that it shares nothing with the source material, so fans of the original HtD were…

Not all of us. Sadly, like any other group we do have our loudmouthed extremists and they tend to be the most noticeable. But many of us are also among the coolest, smartest, and nicest people you ever want to meet. I hope you get to spend some time with those kind of fans someday so you’ll get a better idea of the…

That is an utterly ridiculous statement. Just completely devoid of fact in any way whatsoever.

Lucas is an excellent filmmaker, with a special talent for visuals and effects and innovative techniques. This is the guy who built Industrial Light and Magic, for fuck’s sake. You can’t tell me he doesn’t know how to make…

1) There’s no evidence whatsoever on screen in any film that the Stormtrooper “armor” is anything but flimsy plastic made purely for intimidation purposes. Name one time it ever protected any wearer from anything? Rocks should work against them as well as everything else does.

2) The plan was a sneak attack against a…

Bullshit. STD was one giant plot hole, not a single thing in that film made any logical sense or hung together in any coherent way. It only works if you completely check your brain at the door and wow at the pretty splosions. I actually like semi-mindless action movies, but I expect them to have at least a skeletal…

ALIENS and T2 are both brilliant sequels because they don’t mess with the perfection of their original films by trying to do the same thing again. Instead, they both open up the scope and make a bigger, faster film that excites while also answering questions about and making logical extrapolations from what was…

You’re closer, now, but you’re still wrong. ALIEN and ALIENS are entirely different films and you’re unfairly judging one by the other one’s standards. The first film was amazing for all the reasons you say, but by the time ALIENS came out it had been ripped off so many times viewers could recite the formula in their…

People don’t understand the difference between a 1950s era fission only atomic weapon (yield in the kilotons) and a thermonuclear fusion weapon (yield in the megatons). The former IS survivable with adequate shelter, really anything hardened like steel structure or reinforced concrete will do. The latter just plain…

This statement is confirmation that you suffer from serious delusional thinking indicative of a deeper psychological issue. The men in the white coats will be along to talk to you about this shortly, and I sincerely hope you get the treatment you need to see reality correctly once more.

Play the original Tomb Raider, they made that exact twist and it was amazing.

The aliens aspect of it made total sense, actually, because of the time period. The originals took place in the 30s and 40s when adventure pulp about lost civilizations and jungle magic and all that ruled pop culture. The age of Tarzan.

The 1950s were all about early Cold War anti-Communist paranoia and alien invasion…

Because when you’re firing it you should be looking down the sights at your target. The counter is for when you have a second and you glance down to see if you should reload or not. You should only look at the counter when you have that safety, not in the middle of action. That’s why it’s on the side, so you don’t…

Indy WOULD have survived a 50s era atomic blast inside a refrigerator, that’s a stone cold fact. What is inaccurate about that scene is that it wouldn’t have been blown clear, physics doesn’t work that way.

What would have happened is Indy emerges into a blasted, blackened hellscape that looks rather like a tornado…

Beastie Boys are rap, which is worse.

I see, thank you for the clarification. I’ve only test-driven the NB, I owned a ‘94 NA. From my memories of looking under the hood briefly at the NB I drove it looked pretty similar but there are clearly details I didn’t notice. That’s too bad about the folding headlights not being able to fit. :(

So this car actually had headlight fluid? Wow. Now all we need is to find a car with muffler bearings...

OOoh, do one up as Herbie the Love Bug! Please?

Explain, please? From everything I’ve read the NA and NB are essentially the same car with some differences in the body and interior. Mechanically, the later NA and early NB are virtually identical including sharing the same engine and transmission and the frames are also identical. What would be all that different…

The answer is an NB with an NA front clip. They’re basically the same car, what fits on one will most likely fit the other for the most part. Not that I’ve tried this, mind you, but the platform is the same so it should be able to be made to work.
