I'll stick with the James Mason/Judy Garland version. I did get a good chuckle at them using the "I'm not beautiful" cliche when it's Lady friggin Gaga. Not a fan of her music at all but she remains a striking woman. For much of the movie she looks like a decidly average, slightly pudgy Italian girl next door.

Is the booklet underrated?

"Kiss Me Deadly" from 1955. Ralph Meeker played Mike Hammer to perfection. Just kidding. Too many to name here, but "The Gorgon" and "The Devil's Bride" are standouts in my memory, perhaps because Christopher Lee rarely appeared as a good guy, but when he did, he did it rather well. Ralph Meeker was positively atomic.

I consider it one of Hammer's best standalone flicks and probably the best film to come out of the studio during the 70s. What would be second best?

Yes. It's Joel from MST3K favorite movie. Reminds me of Something Wicked This Way Comes But isn't it a much better effort?

I'm not exagerating when I say that the editing in SUPER TROOPERS is one of the worst I've ever seen. Everytime a scene starts, it feels like it has nothing to do with the one before. The Broken Lizard group manage to transmit their real life friendship into their characters, because I could feel the camaraderie. And they have good chesmitry with the rest of the cast as well. Too bad that they only made me laugh a few times. 3/10 SUPER TROOPERS PART 2 1/10 ------------------------------------- You can read comments of other movies in my blog (in English, in Spanish or in Italian). Does having one poorly received sequel over a decade later really create a franchise?

anyone here a fan of this show that was hosted by Rod Serling ( and had some wonderfully eerie paintings done by artist Tom Wright ) ? When it first came on I was very disappointed in it so I only watched a few episodes. It came across as "Twilight Zone Lite" to me. I never got back to it.

Check out MovieMb.com as an alternative to this and IMDB. It's independently ran (No ProBoards), has individual boards for individual movies, and is looking to add hundreds of movie boards daily. It also has a a movie board request form for those who want to talk about a movie, but don't yet see it. Not sure what the future of this site will be, but it never hurts to sign up and try a couple different ones as we wait and see where the dust settles from the IMDb crash. You seem to have cleared out just after posting. Other boards good?

No, he didn't indicate that he is a retard. It appears that he is more knowledible about this subject than you are since he knew that Jesus most likely primarily spoke Aramaic. I believe that it is the consensus of historians that this was the primary language of the people in First Century Judea. Josephus wrote that this was the case. Jesus would have known at least some Hebrew due to his participation in religious rituals. It is thought that he may have known some Greek. fhistorians It's the consensus of historians today that Hebrew was the primary language, and Aramaic just a secondary language. Since you claim to have done the research, and you're obviously incorrect, your assessment of "he is more knowledgeable about this subject than you are" is not only a lie, but also unprovoked and unfounded hatred. You're a sick person with a desire to find hate, cause hate, and serve Satan. Satan gives no rewards, by the way, so that makes you a retard, doesn't it? Glad you agree. You obviously are just trolling.

Given that if Jesus did exist it's much more likely that Aramiac would be his mother tongue - I'm not sure why you're worried about your Hebrew skills. Still. You get a bonus point for realising that it wasn't English! You know that you just stamped RETARD on your forehead, don't you? You, Oakes, and Goz keep proving you're ignorant trolls. Jesus spoke Hebrew, most likely, according to historians. At least the objective ones who don't want to discount the testimony of more identified witnesses than any other ancient person to his existence. If you wackos didn't give in to sheer unprovoked hatred so much, maybe you'd be taken seriously outside of your lynch mobs. That's the biggest difference between theists and atheists. Most theists actually research and learn. Most atheists are just part of the ignorant masses, sheep following Western culture and going on sheer emotion. You should have at least looked it up. Hebrew was his first and mother tongue, almost surely. Saying different is going against probability. I don't mind you betting on a long shot, but at least admit it's a long shot. You three sure tried to change the subject awful fast, blinded by your hate. You see, Christians don't hate. We leave that to the "theist haters". I guess that's why it's so fun to make fun of you feeble minded folks. I should be sorry. I guess I'm not a good Christian. But you just established, undeniably, that you three are the trolls, not me. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. That's the nicest thing that anyone's ever done for me. No, he didn't indicate that he is a retard. It appears that he is more knowledible about this subject than you are since he knew that Jesus most likely primarily spoke Aramaic. I believe that it is the consensus of historians that this was the primary language of the people in First Century Judea. Josephus wrote that this was the case.

Geologist? Who the heck would want to be a geologist? Someone who takes an intro Geo class in college, and thinks 'So all a geologist does is go camping and drink beer? I could do this for a living!'
Most geologists do very little "field work"... I got to do none in a 36 year career as one. Most of us went into this "field" of study thinking it would be different.

Auckland, New Zealand. Not holding out a lot of hope. Although I am far away from you, I may be the closest. I am in Bangkok, Thailand.

You probably thought he was a geologist too. I remember he has some kind of background in science related field though I am not fully aware about whether he is a geologist or not.
Who is closest to you?

As most of you know, I was a regular on this board for a number of years (the old one anyways). Then everyone moved here. The old board was semi fun because of some of the debates with Erjen and Bucky, Scalvador and his Erjen incantations and nice guy Steve Allaby and AJ June. Goz, EHH and OSV were entertaining as well.
I left the new board soon afterwards as it was nothing more than whiny people, trolls and the same boring conversations.
Nothing has changed.
The last straw was an encounter with one of the Admins. I got banned and recently I received a "red warning" for one of my posts. I could see the Admin's point but I feel it was no worse than some of the other posts that I pointed out were against the rules as well. I recognize the need for rules and moderation but there is a very random and selective way they are enforced. I realize the Admins are volunteers and the RFS section creates the most headaches for them (constant petty reports); Also, you couldn't pay me to be a moderator - I don't have the stomach for it - so kudos to them.
This will be my last post - you people deserve each other!!! I realize there are a couple of nice people on this board, but I've had it.
Please don't leave, father. We like and appreciate your presence. I hope you decide to comeback and post here. But you have to admit he makes valid points.

Which Japanese horror film? Matango (aka Attack of the Mushroom People).

Neither did I until O'Toole received one of his many Oscar nominations. Saw it a few years later on the TV. From time to time I've wondered if this film didn't inspire a TV series called The Fall Guy....but then again I've also wondered is a Japanese horror film about seven shipwrecked survivors on a Pacific island didn't inspire a TV series called Gilligan's Island. Which Japanese horror film?

Blow Out The Swimmer - cult film? Yes, I would definitely consider *The Swimmer" to be a cult film. It certainly has obtained that status decades ago. But I haven't heard anybody talk about it in a long time.
