Quote from: Archivist on December 07, 2025, 11:47:42 PMExciting news for Star Wars fans. In February 2027, there will be a limited run of the original theatrical version of Star Wars, untouched by George Lucas. As someone who was blown away by the movie in the cinema all those years ago, I am really looking forward to this.

Who has memories of the first Star Wars? When did you first see it, and what did you think?



I saw it in the Embassy Cinema in my hometown of Gwelo, Rhodesia (now Gweru, Zimbabwe) and I was ten.

Once seen, never forgotten 😊😊🐢

Quote from: WingedSerpent on December 07, 2025, 04:14:58 PMHaven't watched the LOTR trilogy in a while. 

Yes, indeed.

Someone gave me a bit of crap regarding me including the trilogy in my book and I asked them where J R R Tolkien was born, they said England and I said Noooo, Bloemfontein, South Africa 😄

Quote from: HappyGilmore on December 07, 2025, 12:56:27 PMTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. 1990.

By no means, an Oscar nominated masterpiece. But, fun, enjoyable, and fairly well executed for an independent film based on a weird little comic book. And, the costumes put together by Jim Henson and his company are really neat, and I wish recent films would use that. The two Michael Bay films were CGI and looked garbage.

Agreed 100% 🐢🐢🐢🐢🍕🍕🍕🍕

Tonight's Stinker
First Man Into Space (1959)
https://youtu.be/Fp_9o4AIDqM?si=Y3DcQSQdhVeD0mtV

A repurposed Bell X-1 (in other words, stock footage) is shot off into space... The airbase commander says it's reached it's limit & should turn around, but the pilot is his reckless younger brother, who pushes the plane AND himself slightly beyond.... He manages to get back to Earth, but wrecks the plane.... Instead of returning to the airbase, he goes to see his girlfriend, which puts him in deep doo-doo with his already irate older brother, but Washington gives him another chance....
The pilot disobeys orders again, the plane runs into a cloud of space dust.... The plane returns to earth with no pilot....
Then about halfway through the movie, cattle, people & a blood bank are attacked by a creature that breathes like Darth Vader....

Get plodding at times in spite of the runtime, the pilots personality & the premise make for some real headscratchers......

"Linda Lovelace's Loose Lips: The Last Interview" (2013)
Punk journalist Legs McNeil recorded the final interview with "Deep Throat" star turned anti-porn feminist Linda Lovelace prior to death in 2002. Linda's often bizarre life story is interspersed with comments from former co-stars and associates, as well as vintage video clips and photos. An intriguing portrait about a complex, sometimes divisive figure in movie history.
