It’s getting to the dregs now on all the major monthly-subscription streaming services now. Very few great films on Netflix or Hulu now and even more rare is access to contemporary classics (only Amazon has films like “Raiders of the Lost Ark” and “Close Encounters” for individual rental). Amazon Prime’s video catalog…

I live in PA and still remember having to bundle up like it was friggin’ February-in-Mid-May, so I’m not convinced yet...

One thing for sure—won’t be any lack of source material from Netflix’s own streaming catalog!

You’d think the Chinese (as well as the Japanese and India) would have the resources to make sfx as good as Hollywood and the UK by now, but they still look about 5-10 years out-of-date (especially the super-baby). Still, looks interesting enough to see if it came over here.

The Major events that went down in this episode (the Keep blast, Jon’s “promotion” to King in the North V.2, Dany’s Expeditionary Force) were mostly nailed (but were still thrilling to see), but the surprises that really got to me were: Tommen’s suicide (tears!), Arya’s “Freylent Cake” Revenge (cheers!) and Tyrion’s…

The only way I can watch HBONOW is through an app on my Roku Box (because Xfinity’s current CEO is Ramsey Bolton—lol). The message I got seemed quite final: “Approval of your account as been been rejected...” folowed by some technobabble. I went to the website, entered my account number, and got a blank screen after…

I’m just old enough to remember watching the last Apollo launches in the early ‘70's on tv. Even through a small tv speaker I could remember the sound of the crackling power of the Sat-V lifting off and still remember it clearly like nothing else.

Given Netflix’s past “bottom-up” playlist strategies, can we expect nonstop on-demand , John Carter, Crystal Skull, and the “Prequels”?

Well, you have to admit that is a pretty cute robot... Seriously, is there an uncanny valley for sexualized robots—a “no-harm-no-foul” taboo-thrill for “playing” with one not-so-obviously designed to be a sex-doll? Would it be more erotic if the robot was made with more obviously realistic anatomically correct…

First thing that popped into my head too! I was already lookinng for this clip to paste into a comment. ;)

“Planet of the Apes” (1969 version): The biggest reveal in cinema history up to that point is Taylor discovering the remains of the Statue of Liberty. Yeah—w0w—for about 30 seconds and then: WTF? The Apes spoke English, there were humans still around, the “alien” planet the astronauts thought they were on had a…

Speaking of BTTF III, where did Doc Brown find the metallurgy, electronics and power sources to build that time-travelling hover-locomotive and still be just a decade or so (with a wife and kids)? Genious or not, he couldn’t have fabricated all of what he needed with all the resources of the 19th century, let alone…

How is Keyser Soze not on this list? That was one that even totally got past me—WHOA! As for “Planet of the Apes”, yeah, that caught my breath the first time, but ten seconds later, I thought, “how could astronauts not look up and tell by the positioning of the stars and the friggin’ MOON that they weren’t back on…

“Star Wars” in a minor key sounds like the theme music to some epic Final Fantasy game. Some of it is already in a minor key Because Williams made it that way to musically contrast the conflict between the Rebels and the Empire and those elements were kept minor too. Would have been more interesting if the…

I saw this film when it came out as a teenager and naïve enough to really enjoy it at the time. Now it just seems laughably bad with the “noisiest” asteroid since the one in Irwin Allen’s “City Beneath the Sea” in 1971.

According to the Nostalgia Critic, Boomer will live!

They’re coming back—this time with upgraded antivirus software!

I kind of was stunned by that opening—the stylized impressions of Bond getting tortured in ways that haven’t been shown (before “Casino Royale”) and the Madonna song had appropriate lyrics—and sang better than some others in the frachice (NOT a Shirley Bassey fan).

Great scene, but not exactly the opening shot (which was the UK sub being e.m.p.- hijacked), it was part of the “prologue” though. I’d vote for the worst/best opening of “Moonraker: Bond getting shoved out of an airplane without a parachute by his “jawsome” nemesis from the last film) after the FUELED??? space shuttle…
