Dare I do it? Yes, I dare to!

Here it is, the intentionally unreleased, 1994 Roger Corman produced Fantastic Four film.

You've been warned...

(The horror!

Now, if there's only a way to find the similarily low budgeted Captain America film from 1990. Of which I've watched a few times as a younger duder.

(Which was just as equally corny...)

Another Testy first - posting an entire film in a thread! If only it were something more worthy Ray like um Tinto Brass fabulous epic Caligula or Paul Verhoeven's critically acclaimed masterpiece Showgirls.

We had snow yesterday. I know that may not sound like much to a lot of you out there, but it's a big thing when it snows here, and before the end of November yet. Up in the Panhandle they get a lot of it, but here is a different story.

RickER · 12-01-2006, 02:30 PM

I just shoveled 8 inches of snow and 2 of ice off the ol' drive. My BACK!
Been working alot, but now i am off for 3 days. I have a lot of movies to watch. Superman, and the Donner cut among others. Also have some Perry Mason, Columbo and Tom Baker Dr. Who to watch.

Russell G · 12-01-2006, 05:01 PM

Don't even talk to me about snow. We've had the most we've had in ages, and a -43C windchill to boot.

I used to have a copy of that Captain AMerica film. It was hillarious how his mask would squish his face up like a fish.

I watched that F4 onfast forward like a porno when I secured my copy of it a few years ago.

Steve, have you seen Equilibrium yet?? It's one of the films you totally screwed up in the screen shot challenge (and oddly enough, the only one I got right.) I thik you'll like, despite not having Milla's sweet sweet bum. Anyone remember those screen caps if Milla. I haven't left Testyland 51 since.

Rick, skip everything and watch the Tom Baker Dr. Who. I have them on tape from PBS, and plank on making my own DVDs of them in the future.

Steve Christou · 12-01-2006, 07:15 PM

I bought Equilibrium Russell, loved it, very underrated I thought. But that screenshot fooled me completely, I really thought it was from some HK flick.

The colorful Ultraviolet, by the same director, also featured gun-kata fight sequences but was nowhere as good, though it had the benefit of starring the gorgeous Milla Jovovich and her scrumptious rear end.

Steve Christou · 12-01-2006, 07:32 PM

Ray posting that film here got me thinking what other movies are freely available to view over the internet. Google Video seems to have a whole bunch of lengthy documentaries and public domain movies on show. Various editions of Romero's Night of the Living Dead are on there -

Even Frank Capra's It's a Wonderful Life, the entire movie available to watch or download, with chapters too -

Hmmm the classic martial arts movie The Prodigal Son is on there -

I can't see a way of linking Google Videos via media tags though.

Mr. Christiaaaan! The 2-disc region 1 Mutiny on the Bounty (1962) arrived yesterday, picture and sound was excellent, never seen the film look so good before, or so small! What was the aspect ratio 2.40? 2.60? It looked like a thin strip of colour on my 32inch widescreen set, any smaller and I'd need a binoculars to see it. The film was great but the featurettes were not that impressive, concentrating mostly on the ship itself. The troubled production deserved an indepth documentary similar to the superb Cleopatra and Gone With the Wind docs, oh well maybe next time.
Marlon Brando got a then record salary of $1.25m to play Fletcher Christian after turning down the title role in Lawrence of Arabia.

Joe Fisher · 12-03-2006, 11:40 AM

As usual nice shots Steve.

Looks like I'll have to get this at some point.

The OAR for this is listed as 2.76:1 according to IMDB.

Steve Christou · 12-03-2006, 11:56 AM

2.76? Wow. And how wide was Ben-Hur? That looked pretty thin too. Looking at our signature shots gives you a better impression of how wide the aspect ratio is, now that's what you call Widescreen! And looks like it's time I got a bigger screen.

Mutiny on the Bounty trivia: Marlon Brando married his beautiful leading lady Tarita, she became his third wife, his second wife Movita had played a native girl in the 1935 Mutiny on the Bounty, whoa!
