The Movie Thread

[Sailor Steve]

I have the boxed set with all three original and the "enhanced" versions in one package, and I got it cheap at a local store a few years ago. I loaned it to a friend, but I still haven't watched it myself. I guess maybe I'm not the fan I thought I was.

Or maybe I'll watch it now.

I thought this was a funny movie. Almost in a "Pulp Fiction" style but with comedy.

I have a sudden urge to watch some post apocalyptic movies.

Any recommendations?

I had seen an article about this movie from the '50s called On The Beach that looks great. They remade it in like 2000 but I'd rather see the original.

It's about a submarine crew who was at sea during a nuclear war and the only surviving people live in Australia where the fallout hasn't hit yet. The Sub Crew survives in Australia and they go to the US to investigate this signal. It looks good and it's based on a book. I bet it'd be a good book.

In terms of low-budget horror, these days the best choice is definitely MarbleHornets. While not really a movie, a movie adaption is coming out soon. But the original will still be the best, no matter what

And, on a related note, my own special little project

Stalker of the woods?

To me that means "Deer Hunter"

Oh yeah 1959 Gregory Peck was the lead.

Here's the whole movie on you tube:

Yes, it's a story about an Aussie who's being stalked by his deer-hunting American friend, who dressed up as Slender Man

Changed my mind on Star Wars and watched an old favorite instead: Circle of Iron, AKA The Silent Flute, with David Carradine and a young (at the time) martial artist named Jeff Cooper, with wonderful bits by Roddy McDowell, Eli Wallach and Christopher Lee. A great little martial arts fantasy with lots of fun Taoist philosphy thrown in.

Tell me about it the only reason I watch the first three episodes is because they make me yearn for the last three(IV,V,VI).I also hate how you can not buy in modern form the original IV,V,VI well the THX ones are pretty good(again only VHS) the originals with better sound.But you can not buy a DVD or Bluray without the crap they added in 1997.To see the originals in Bluray quality would be awesome.

I guess I haven't seen the original ones. I'd like to one of these days.

As a kid I loved Star Wars and everything to do with it. Episode 2 was my favorite one. I loved the Clones and Jango Fett.

I was Jango Fett for Halloween once. I had the mask (Not a full helmet ), belt with pistols, and the chest protector thing and the rest was homemade.

Come to think of it, I haven't sat down and watched Star Wars in years... I should one of these days when I get bored.

If you are feeling post apoc though Mad Max is a great choice you'll really want the Bluray though as it has the audio in Australian English.The DVD and most likely the streaming versions will have American English audio.Trust me it is different not just the lack of an Australian dialect but some of the lines are different as well reflecting differences in how an Australian might say something.

It does have a rape scene in it just to let you know.

Star Wars is probably generational I recon.Though you might recall in the first three how there not really a strong protagonist to root for not so with IV,V,VI you will actually like Luke,Han Solo,Chewbaca,and Leia.

I don't have a Blu Ray player.

DVD will have to work. Streaming is out of the question. I tried loading up On The Beach earlier and it just isn't cooperating at this point.

The Rape Scene from what I've read on IMDb isn't as bad as it could be. And it says that it's early on in the movie so if it becomes an issue I can skip through it.

I always liked all of the Star Wars movies. In the first three I always liked Anakin and Obi Wan. Luke, Solo, Chewbacca and Leia were great...but both sets of characters have their own traits and personalities to bring to the table. The new Star Wars stuff with the animated series and stuff is like nails on a chalkboard to me. They butchered it IMHO.
