DMA wanted to design a game around tiny troops battling a huge killer robot, with miniature sprites emphasizing the awesomeness of the mech. One day, a designer named Mike Dailly put together an image of the little men being smashed to death or blown away by laser guns and “everyone loved it,” so they decided to build…

SG: I beat up Charlton Heston once.
Denis Leary: When?
SG: Over the holidays.
DL: In your one-dimensional world you beat up Charlton Heston.
SG: Yeah, I hit him over the head with some books.
DL: So you're actually bragging about beating up a man who must be in his late 80s, is that correct?
SG: Uh, late 80s, early 90s.

I'm not logged in and I can stream all of the episodes. Only episodes marked with the key icon should require a login, and at least where I am, none of the SGC2C episodes have that icon.

I might be misremembering here, but as I recall, for the early episodes they mostly used the interviews as they were recorded, just with George Lowe revoicing the questions in place of whoever asked them when the interview was actually done. They'd add some banter/insults between Space Ghost and Zorak/Moltar, but…

That's a good question and something I should've addressed already. Australian DVDs are Region 4 and the U.S. is Region 1, so you need a PC or an all-region DVD player, which can be had pretty cheaply these days. There's also a non-trivial chance the player you already have can be made region free by entering a code…

I mentioned this in the obit thread, but since it kinda got buried there, you can still get most of the series on DVD from Australia for $15 plus whatever they charge for shipping to the U.S. (not sure how much, but I think it's something like ten bucks): https://www.madman.com.au/c… It's missing the last seven…

You can still get most of the episodes on DVD from Madman, Adult Swim's Australian distributor. They're selling the collection on their website for about $15; I can't remember how much it costs to ship it to the U.S., but it's still a bargain. It has the same episodes and features as the U.S. DVDs, including the two…

She starts out with the Chihuahuas, but then she gets sent down.

The live-action Hong Kong adaptation of Shamo is legitimately amazing. Also a way better ending than the manga.

I think you're confusing lightsabers with Biff's car in Back to the Future Part II. Understandable mistake.

I don't think he ever actually addressed it, but the Blu-ray cut replaces Pacino's line with a longer reaction shot of Azaria, so I assume he thought it somehow played better with an uncomfortable silence. Given Mann's track record with director's cuts, I fully expect him to reinstate the line for some future…

Just want to jump in here and say Michael Mann made a huge mistake by dropping "Ferocious, aren't I?" from the Blu-ray cut.

Sorry for replying to a three-week-old post, but: there were at least five Chinese Charlie Chan movies in the '30s and '40s, in which he ran a private detective agency and had a goofy comic-relief daughter instead of sons. Unfortunately they all seem to be lost now. Doesn't really change the issue at hand (i.e., that…

And how could they forget Roman Polanski's masterful performance in Rush Hour 3?

For all the weird shit David Lynch has done, a semi-regular role on The Cleveland Show is the one thing that my brain refuses to accept as reality, no matter how often I read about it or see it for myself.

All that and no mention of Buckwheat's infamous "Blow it out your shithole, grandpa"? 100% TRUE FACT: Nearly all the actors shown speaking in the silent Our Gang films are just repeating obscenities one after another.

Part of it is Chan himself, who has gone from a guy who publicly bragged about having an Australian passport to Chinese Super Patriot Number One who complains that Hong Kong is too free. But a lot of it is the movies themselves, which at this point have little Hong Kong content (CZ12 and Skiptrace are his only star…

He doesn't give a crap about the Hong Kong market, which is laughably tiny compared to the mainland and doesn't really like Chan all that much anymore for a multitude of reasons. Dragon Blade (his last big movie) made a little over US$100,000 in Hong Kong (not a mistake, that's a one with five zeroes after it) and Poli…

I don't know how "recent" that is. He's credited for something with a 2016 release date, but there are comments on it going back to 2006. I wouldn't be surprised if he recorded his part ages ago and the movie's been stuck in production hell ever since. His previous credit is from 2006.
