good job that one wasn't filmed in real time...
also BEN HUR is 5 hours or something. so long that its own refreshment break has a refreshment break
😃😀😅🐢
212 minutes, almost 4 hours long.
I remember my Dad telling me that there was a mid-screening break so that reels could be changed and the audience could go P 😳😃😀😅🐢

Press Releases and Film News / Re: RIP Screaming Mad George
Last post by HappyGilmore - August 31, 2026, 10:10:35 PMQuote from: Jim H on August 31, 2026, 08:51:33 PMAh. I did see Big Trouble in Little China and the Nightmare films. Didn't see Predator though.Quote from: HappyGilmore on August 27, 2026, 01:26:44 PMI'm only familiar, I believe, with his work on the movie Freaked.
I'm not sure I've seen other works.
RIP though.
I'd wager you've seen other stuff he did that wasn't like primarily him, but he worked on - like Big Trouble in Little China (the inflating guy is his, and in his signature style, you can really see it in the face, plus the little flying head Beholder guy he did too), Predator, A Nightmare on Elm Street 3 and 4.
He also directed and did creature work on the live action Guyver film, which I feel like everyone our age has seen on cable or on regular TV in the 90s. Man that film was on TV all the time for some reason, probably saw it a half dozen times.
Society is maybe his most impressive work, that climax is a real doozy. Guy was a make-up genius.
RIP.

Good Movies / Re: Recent Viewings, Part 2
Last post by M.10rda - August 31, 2026, 09:12:29 PMREADY OR NOT HERE I COME (2026):
No "2" or colon in the title onscreen so none in this review. This was fine, really - we pretty much enjoyed it - but we really enjoyed the original, which stands nicely on its own and didn't require a sequel. The original four writers and directors all return and make an honest, logical attempt to expand the story, yet - eh!
Perhaps one inescapable issue, at least for us but surely for others as well, is RONHIC's implausible and distracting similarity to THEY WILL KILL YOU, which was released in theaters within a week of RONHIC. In terms of plot and characters, the films are very nearly... identical! Granted, RONHIC has better ensemble acting, more consistent production values, and fewer plot holes (though it does have a few). TWKY is a less-well made film in most regards, but it does have two things that RONHIC doesn't. The less important thing is that incredible first fight scene w/ Zazie Beats raining whupass all over the cultists w/ the sawed-off and the sword - RONHIC has no one scene that's quite as much fun.
The more significant advantage is that TWKY, for all its jank and cheez, actually feels like it has something real (and angry) to say about race and class. Comparatively RONHIC is escapist fantasy, and though I feel affinity for Samara Weaving's hapless waitress character, let's face it - she could've spared herself two movies of trouble by not getting engaged to a billionaire satanist.
Just sayin'. 3/5 Shawn Hatosy has become a really good screen creep, however - an even-better one than co-star Elijah Wood, whose entire career now seems to be playing The Creep.

Bad Movies / Re: 10 most prophetic sci fi m...
Last post by Dalmatian Bobby Samaritan - August 31, 2026, 08:52:39 PMQuote from: lester1/2jr on March 29, 2008, 08:22:28 AManother one of these articles. What about plan 9? hello?
Phantom's Menace had a ton of prophetic things going on. The lack of child support and security for young kids. De facto bills written by people without a debate and whose minds were honed into 35 percent recreation. I mean why did it have to be Midichlorians. Why not buffaloberry shrub.
Whatever movie predicted that the video game Knights of the Round for the Super Nintendo would be over two hundred dollars now, is prophetic. I am not sure what movie that would be, Other than Dr. Giggles. No I mean I stick with Phantom's menace. It basically set the tone that if you are trying to make a science fiction movie after 1999 then you are fighting against the George Lucas machine. And man I would rather it be like the Girl scouts or how many guys named Hennings and played football got to fly in an A-10 tank killer. The Malastares..Uh, ok justy you got me there. I would like to be one. But only if they can tell me why the Greenland shark lives to be like five hundred years old. I mean shouldn't one of the goals of science fiction be to upgrade the hotties. Like Kelly Saindon. Like woo la la. Instead of downgrading them. And name seriously, one hot woman in a star wars movie since Carrie Fischer.
So yeah. Phantom's menace. The name is prophetic alone in that it is ugly. It promotes ugly people. Which is really
