Good call, I was in the middle of Life is Strange when this show premiered on Netflix. Obviously the trappings were different, but the nuts & bolts were the same in both: Complex characters reacting to extraordinary circumstances in often unexpected (but believable) ways.

*Pours one out for Yee Yee*

How could someone be so right about all those other films, and yet so wrong about Raiders? You do realize that "the famous scenes are redundant now" because Raiders made them famous?

But then Thunderdome had the pidgin language of the Tribe, which was created for the film and works brilliantly IMO. I am one of the few Mad Max fans who considers Thunderdome to be as good as the other two (now three) films in its own way…and the well-considered anthropologies of the Tribe and Bartertown are just…

"Hungry Like the Wolf" stands on its own as a perfect pop song. The composition is so catchy, yet the song still has a bit of an edge to it…which is probably why I still prefer it to "The Reflex".

I specifically remember someone at the time insisting that Duran Duran were going to be the next Beatles, and my mom calling bullshit on that.

You're right, because Cracked got Don Martin as well. (It still feels weird to say that, all these years later.)

I like "Supremacy" as much as the original film. Yes, shame on them for eliminating Franka Potente, but it has that incredible tunnel chase that is better than any of the chases in "Ultimatum", it has the intense scene where he almost shoots Nicky, and it has that final scene where Bourne confronts the daughter of…

Oh, that line was purely for the benefit of the bullies. We know he has true affection for El by this point. That line was Dustin's Corbomite Maneuver — only in this case, they really did have the Corbomite.

I had to read WAY too far down in the thread to find this.

Or Daniel von Bargen from Lord of Illusions. OK, so he's a cult-leader-transformed-into-a-demon, but that's just as creepy as the actual devil.

It did have a pretty lukewarm reception even at the time. I've always disagreed with the popular opinion of this film, however.

This reminds me of what Bill Maher called the Republican effort to impeach Clinton at the time: "Prosperitygate".

OK, that is no great loss for me, as I never held him in high esteem anyway. Kurtzman/Orci did a couple of things that were at least interesting, once upon a time, but their output has been mediocre (at best) for a number of years now.

Totally agree, I actually make it a point to see films in 2D. Holy visibility!

Hot take: Despite its flaws, I still thought III was a much better Trek film than IV.

…and the fact that one of the big creative forces behind the film outed himself as a 9/11 Truther.

I will only say that my wife starts laughing hysterically whenever she so much as sees Christopher Mintz-Plasse on a screen. Then she stifles it, regains her composure, looks at me, and starts laughing uncontrollably again.

Nice! My mom was on during the Art Fleming era…so, mid-1960's, I wanna say.

It's not Shakespeare, but there was that one episode of The Real Ghostbusters where they were tricked into busting Dickens' ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future.
