Oh fer God's sake! I think we re missing that emoticon thats rolling on the floor laughing its head off. I guess we can call this the Rashomon effect huh Bo ? Although im afraid to know what your kid would make of this one. I dig Blow-out also.And i havent seen it in a while too so...

It seems that ive hit a wall here. The wall of reluctance to act collectively. Dont get me wrong folks,this issue is nowhere as important as the environment or any grand scale debate of your choosing. But it still shows i think the lack of good people gathering the necessary drive or...

The whole point of my thread is not to make us,the consumer PAY more for anything.Not the ads,not the popcorn,not the disruptions. So paying a dollar EXTRA to have something we are already entitled NOT to have jammed down our collective throats is really NOT the best idea,and we're simply...

Well,whether it be a petition or boycott,the fact is we still have to gather momentum and speak to the people who go to the movies ,am i right? I too am talking millions of people,which is where the 4,5 or whatever billions in box-office revenues comes from. I think that most of the movie...

And lets refrain for using terms such as whining please. Ben

Hi Davef ! I understand your point about economic disadvantage,but i offer you to read my statements on that particular matter again. Heres my reasoning about this and lets pretend i assume the boycotting position :) 1.I boycot (which i dont want to do,because i love films) 2.i have...

I didnt realize it was asian.. it looks alright,but there seems to be no plot whatsoever,not even a protagonist of some kind. Its just WHAM WHAM WHAM BAM BAM WHAM.Unlike The host which had a lot more depth and story. I know,i know its just the trailer but i dont think that on opening...

Hi folks, One of the first things you learn in filmmaking is keeping your cast and crew happy by feeding them. The results of this pampering always inevitably shows up on the screen. I got ham,turkey and cheese and tomato sandwiches Got Coke,coffee and 3 kinds of juices. And last...

Get the coffee pot and sandwiches ready people,i will be posting tonight and its gonna be a long one.Long enough to need an intermission. But the good kind of long like Lawrence of Arabia and not the bad kind like a Ken Russell film. Ben

yeah,maybe it was a physical thing,but im wondering if it wasnt also that thing with George Lucas about his name being in the credits (i dont remember exactly what it was about ) thats getting to him. Hope he doesnt become like Alec Guiness who apparently was pretty pissed at the end of his...

Wow! thats a pretty good deal. 25 bucks is i think far better than the deal we were offered at the Toronto scifi convention last year. William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy which were 100 dollars for a pic AND 150 for signing !!! Yes i know everything is relative as Mr. Prowse was only in...

on the subject of marathons while most people have a certain connection between the films,i try to screw it up by having films so unrelated im in a daze for two hours after. try this for a change. Robert Wise films in a specific order. 1.West side story first. 2.his next film The...

yes i am that culprit TravisR is talking about...:laugh: but the oscar on my mantel clearly states i won it for having Poltergeist as one of my fave films and saying John Williams wrote the score instead of Jerry Goldsmith !! Ben

all right, so i have gathered what i think are the essential websites( so far,4 or 5) that oppose this vile and exponentially growing virus-like practice called the 2wenty,now known as Regal first look(and its spawn). This weekend,i will send emails to those and ask for any updates on this...

and the first thing i'd like to get is as many comments as there are views. I know some of those are us reading the stuff other people are writing but 846 views against 46 comments is a pretty high ratio. C'mon you long-time readers be a first time writer! there's no fence sitting on...

When i read posts like John's,it just inspires me more as a writer to better myself. Thanks John. To the issue at hand, Of course, i dont pretend to have the perfect answer to this,all im saying is the more i make deals of any kind with all sorts of people in my life whether it be work...

that's fine,but you do still understand that by wanting to be there early to have a nice seat,they force you to watch ads and you have no choice,plus you indirectly pay for WATCHING them which isnt part of the deal in the first place. Its as if someone saying "Out of your 12 dollars,we didnt...

I'm willing to bet im the biggest film fan in Montreal,bar none I watch everthing well not EVERYTHING.I dont think i could sit through Warhol's Empire (probably go nuts on the fifth hour and first things first,is it available anyways ? ) but the rest,bring it on ! Everything from Rashomon...

looking through my old Sound and vision magazines i found this from 2003. I looked it up and it still lives! http://www.commercialalert.org/issues/culture/movies sadly it seems that the articles on movies stop around 2005,but i 'm not giving up ,and i havent seen what it says about...

It just hit me. I think im preaching this to the wrong crowd. bear with me for a moment. I dont have a huge appartment (which means no big home theater) and no kids(which means my spending isnt decided on a large amount for babysitting,parking gas,concession stand etc,etc, and the...

( Ben starts passing munchies and grub around ) I've heard somewhere that food helps further the flow of the exchange among film fans such as this group. (pause) Ok fine! i just like to eat, shut up! So here we are folks,do we keep quietly typing away in our little forum on the net...

Well, im pretty happy my original post got some replies but i got to think when i posted it on i believe Friday that i would let the weekend pass and replies would start appearing. On Saturday i thought this thread would only be filled with cricket sounds and i was gonna go " Bueller ...

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA you know guys the funny thing is i love film like theres no tomorrow,and i pride myself for knowing a lot of events dates actors and whatnot. but on a film that to this day has had a tremendous impact into making me what i am, i get 2 HUGE mistakes the composer and the...

UNBELIEVABLE!!!! This was the ONLY awesome 7 minutes of pure bliss we had. but it aint Warner,im thinking i pissed off Joe Dante so much with my comments and now this whole hometheater village is gonna take one look at my noob grade and chase me with torches. But i DID love The Howling...

One night i stayed up to watch Planes trains and automobiles for that famous scene where Steve Martin lashes out at Edie McClurg who plays the car rental agent. As you all remember the speech,Martin names a bunch of cars preceded every time by the f word ( when he was done, i remember people...

and if any kind moderator could just transfer this to the actual MOVIES section i would be forever in your debt:) Ben

I find them to be a close cousin to disruptions,but sometimes you CAN have a moviegoing experience WITHOUT disruptions but you ALWAYS get ads before the film. Yesterday i went to see the Bourne ultimatum,(i thought that for a third film the pacing was really great,my buddy was pretty meh..)...

(in a crazy Daffy Duck way) Jari K! That Youtube credit is MINE!! MINE !! ALL MINE!!!;) Ben

Great! my first post and i screw it up. Yes,i did mean the masterful Jerry Goldsmith. thanks WillG. Well, just like John Carpenter does i think the complete title should be as follows(and note that the all caps are for marquee purposes and not a lack of netiquette):laugh: STEVEN...
