    Careful, we all know the nsa carefully screens the internet for words like hijack, bomb and plot. oh no, they'll be after me now. I can hear the black helicopers outside my window as we speak. Seriously, enough with the nine hundred different versions of new films. Everybody has...

    oh yeah, one more really cool 80's movie I have some vague memory of. My parents told me the actors in the film were somewhat famous but I guess I was too young too appreciate this at the time. It was something about a navy aircraft carrier that goes back in time. the juxtaposition of...

    ps---to the person who posted before me, I see an image of BATTLESTAR GALACTICA in your signature. Any word on the rumored new film version of this? With all the crap sci-fi coming out, especially that waste of film id4, how cool would it be to see f-14's and vipers battling the cylons for...

    thank you for the heads up, I didn't realize i mentioned the name of the store and for that i am sorry. The girl behind the counter almost sh-t a brick when she realized the dvd was on sale early. How funny it was in this day and age to see somebody care so much about so little. It was...

    I can totally understand the whole "father and son" bonding appeal of this movie. My dad worked for Grumman for over thirty five years and had several interesting tales about how dangerous the tomcat stunts were in this movie. I can remember seeing this film in the theater with him when it...

    (note humorous sarcastic tone in all of Rich E's posts) I spoke to these people via telephone the otherday, politely imforming them that their blundering was wide spread news on the internet and asking if the movie was going to be delayed so long that I should cancel my order. She informed...

    Why do I have visions of some recent ucla film school graduate nervously reading a manual for sonic solutions dvd replicating software while on the toiliet at pfc. Time to step aside and let somebody who knows what they're doing take the reins. You had your chance and you blew it. Sorry...

    ps forward this one all the way to the top. Keep this in the main eye of the forum. We may have to boycott, at the very least hunt these people down like the ruthless savages that they are. Only time will tell. All this for a movie, "has life gotten that bad" guess so. In a perfect...

    i'm getting a very bad feeling part of me says be patient, this is an old movie, these people don't realize it has a cult following. part of me says "unite the forum and ride these people in the ground". tough choice. just out of curiousity, did anyone have the presence of mind to...

    Against my better judgement i also ordered the final countdown yesterday, she said it would ship that day ups ground. We'll see. The whole situation seems very strange, i didn't get a bad vibe, just a strange one. But i guess it's no different than ordering some tv only time life cd's...

    I really don't want to start bashing these people, but...we'll let's just wait and see, maybe there will be an update on the bits later on tonight. I just have a very bad feeling if they can't even post a date of when the movie will be out.

    i really want this movie but now i'm very reluctant to send a check off in the mail to these people let alone my credit card number if they can't even come up with an exact release date. Of all the movies to buy the rights to, why couldn't it have been some adam sandler junk that got lost in...

    i've check a few stores here in nyc, ones that said they would have it don't. I emailed pfc this morning and i'm waiting for a reply. I've got a bad feeling about this. Is this becomes a direct order only issue would that be a first in the dvd world? A stupid move indeed if it's true

    Sears return policy - very liberal

    sears is very liberal about returns, they're used to stuff being returned. About a thousand years ago I worked at a sears and virtually any product that was sold with the "sears" logo on it came back defective after obviously having been used and abused. They must have very clever ways of...

    *** Official "STAR WARS & EPISODE II" Discussion Thread

    I don't know about it belonging in a forum for either movie, just an observation about both. The movie I just came back from had one or two great effects/action sequences layered with endless slow motion and static shots of one character after another talking about good an evil. I never...

    There's something small behind you called lotr trying to fill shoes much to big for it's feet. Isn't there a union rule about how many helicopter flyover shots there can be of the same thing within the course of 30 seconds? If not there should be. There were two very cool action scenes in...

    The Truth About ‘Pearl Harbor’: An In-Depth Analysis

    A very well thought out post. I admire the time it took to research and write it. For some reason, this film as well as several others just don't play well on the big screen, they make a bad first impression which in the world of the "big opening weekend" usually means box office death. I...

    The Final Countdown DVD?

    I can't speak for the rest of the country but the version of this film they used to show on broadcast tv was without a doubt the worst job of "edited for television" I've ever scene. ex. the dogfight between the tomcats and the zeroes begins, then abruptly dissolves into the next scene...

    Classic movies on the BIG SCREEN in the NJ/NY area!

    Living in new york city with no car, all i can so is I'm one jealous person. It's such a strange experience to see an old movie you've seen on tv a million times on the big screen for the first time. I wish the zeigfeld or radio city would do this more often.
