What about the end of “The Killing Fields” reunion of Dith Pran after his escape from Cambodia and Sidney Shanberg—with John Lennon’s “Imagine” in the background? That really got the waterworks going.

I feel like conspiracies, scraped over too much reality. I want to see aliens, Scully, ALIENS!
This show tried really hard to recapture the look and ambiance of the original, keeping the updated sfx to a (bare) minimum. They did too good a job there as modern shows are all a bit faster-paced and the slow-procedural drama is now just—slow and tedious. Now the bad news: The dialog was awful, full of unnecessary…
Nice! Wasn’t expecting the whole film to be here (on YouTube)—gonna save it and watch later. Thanks!

I remember watching the 1960 version growing up several times. The time-lapse sfx were pretty good for the time too (the scene of the dead moorlock’s face rapidly decaying at the end really freaked me out as a kid, as UK horror films were a bit more graphic than US films of that genre at the time). The music I…
Can I blame this playcall on aliens and have it count?
Just keep me out of your ‘Rule 34’ fan art with this guy and we’re cool.”
If you build it, he will drown!
People said I’d be daft to build a McDonald’s in the swamp, but I did—it sank into the swamp. So I built another—it sank into the swamp. So I built a third—that burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp, but the fourth one—STAYED UP!
Nothing’s going to be done until things get much worse because the two words that people believe or fear more than Climate Change is Lifestyle Change.
The first novelization of “Star Wars” I remember was written by Lucas himself. I remember it had some pages in the middle of the book with still photos from the movie too. Also, it was nearly line-for-line from the movie except in some places (one of which I remember the first meeting with Han Solo in the Cantina he…
I guess I’m just an old fard that likes John Barry scores and brought up on the classic Bond-theme styles. To be honest, I liked all his stuff since “Born Free”—onward. In fact, while I liked the scores to the older Bond films he did, I was not a fan of Shirley Bassey’s shrill singing of “Goldfinger”, “Diamonds Are…
Sounds like a typical Radiohead song, mixed with something off The Beatles White Album, and the some reference to SPECTRE in the lyrics. Don’t get me wrong. I like Radiohead and the Beatles, but since John Barry, there hasn’t been a real Bond theme (exceptions maybe Hamlisch’s “The Spy Who Loved Me” and Cornell’s…
I had to admit I approved of the redoing of some of the sfx in the special editions though, some were pretty obvious even when screening the Trilogy when they first came out (some of the Deathstar dolly shots, the “transparent” snowspeeders, the stopmo tauntauns, the stopmo Rancor, Jabba’s jittery sail barge, the…
“You don’t need to see the Special Edition.... those are not the versions you’ve been looking for... you can co about your watching...enjoy it!”
Don’t forget Liam Neeson was already getting to be a notable actor (and was nominated for Best Actor in Schindler’s List) and Natalie Portman got noticed for a better film too (and won a Best Actress award) Well, even Christopher Lee, who had barely more than extended cameos and half-sleepwalked through his lines, was…
