Good Movies / The End of Oak Street (2026)
Last post by WingedSerpent - August 14, 2026, 10:53:54 PMIn the Early 1980's a suburb finds itself transported back in time to the age of the dinosaurs.
This was a pretty enjoyable movie. In a lot of ways its what Jurassic World Dominion should have been. Dinosaurs and modern humans interacting and that being the central plot. It can be pretty mean spirited at points. There's some blood and gore I wasn't expecting.
Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor give good performances, but their both professionals. They star as a couple who are clearly going through a rough patch in their marriage. I thought the kid actors just did fine. Just fine.
Biggest flaw is the CGI. It doesn't always look so great. There are several dinosaur species on display as well as a few other prehistoric animals. The are done with modern deceptions of dinosaurs in mind. I feel the movie missed out on a joke seeing as how much our idea of these animals have changed since the 80s. You could have had someone joke about how dinosaurs didn't have feathers.
I'd say this is worth a watch. I had a good time.

It's been a long time since I read the book, but this was a pretty good movie - a little tamer than it could have been, but quite watchable. 4/5

Bad Movies / Re: Way OT: Gas Prices
Last post by indianasmith - August 14, 2026, 09:57:53 PMIt's about $3.59 here in Texas right now. Just before Trump started his useless war with Iran, it was down to about $2.19 - not as cheap as it was during COVID, but quite livable. It shot up to nearly $4 a gallon here right after the Iran war started, but it's settled down some since then.

Last post by Dalmatian Bobby Samaritan - August 14, 2026, 09:16:13 PMQuote from: zombie no.one on July 28, 2025, 03:03:41 PMIn WILD BEASTS (1983) a guy picks up his regular landline phone and makes a call to his buddy in a car on his CB radio....
I'm no tech guy but I don't think that was ever a thing?
--- @Rev.Powell should this thread be moved to 'bad movies' for more traction?
Actually if you are a member of the Bilderbergers you can call Mulder and Scully from a landline that links to a Global hawk. And then links to a star diamond capacitor disk on your hand. That was linked to a consciousness reading on your chest. That then could do an ultra wavelength entraferometer to Alpha Centauri. Then all of the Glucox phenos beings would hear it. Then it would possibly go to a CB radio or whatever the script of the movie demanded.
Ok, actually in a way I think I (or you and I) have actually just described the plot to Masters of the Universe 2026. It is not disconcordant. It makes perfect sense. It is like Sampras backhand. Or Pete Sampras (I saw a guy today who looked just like him, since someone else is talking about their rear ending story. Today I saw someone who looked just like Pete Sampras.) Yeah I mean it is the backhand. That explains Independence Day too. You don't have to get into all of that Windows XP and computing wiz nonsense. Aliens use computers. Sure I buy that and those computers can be hacked into. Sure.
It is the Pete Sampras backhand. AkA Gabriel Knight needs to explain to us the technology of the three stooges because now he looks like a legitimate stooge.

A perpetual slacker (Weird Al Yankovic) lands the job of his dreams when he's hired as the new station manager of U-62, a low rated, low watt TV channel. His unorthodox program ideas become ratings sensations, leading to friction with the corporate major-network affiliate on the other end of town.
Weird Al's feature debut is like flipping through an issue of MAD magazine, with rapid fire jokes and parodies delivered by a stacked cast incl. a pre-"Seinfeld" Michael Richard's, Fran Drescher, Kevin McCarthy, and Victoria Jackson of "SNL."
"UHF" was a box office bomb when it was released but it's gone on to become a cult classic since then.

Last post by Dalmatian Bobby Samaritan - August 14, 2026, 07:54:17 PMYay. I finally did something right!
"Project Blue Beam" picture — I pulled from the Web is actually the Eskimo nebula.
I guess it is more politically correct to get the Eskimo nebula picture, something that is of course in outer space and hundreds of light years from earth and call it "Project Blue Beam." Because saying the word Eskimo would be offensive to eskimos or people. I mean I didn't name it that. Scientists did. I feel like there is some irony there though. We have to be so conscience constantly of what we say and how we say it, that the big picture things swamp us. Like Gas prices. Hey I could be wrong, perhaps gas prices are something that will always be out of our call and jurisdiction.
Yeah it is weird when you get into Gas price discussions with people nowadays. Like if they are several states away from you. Almost like they want to pretend like Four dollars a gallon is cheap. Or they quickly change the subject. We are magnificently burnished in our Stockholm Syndrome. I have been rear ended too. I feel like the rear ending phenomenon is actually a sign of denial in people.
If you have to buy your next tank of gas from people who look like this..Then. Well anyway I think that this is where it is heading.

Last post by M.10rda - August 14, 2026, 07:23:22 PMThis was a timely bump. Gas back over $4 in WNY, and like "Dean" (whose avatar is da bomb), above, I too just got rear-ended on my way home from work.

Last post by Dalmatian Bobby Samaritan - August 14, 2026, 07:23:14 PMQuote from: LordGraal on November 23, 2025, 05:11:30 AMNot many films make me angry but this one does. I think it's the worse Star Wars cash-in of the time. At least films like War of the Robots tried to have some excitement in them. This is so shoddily made in all departments I can't even call it so-bad-it's-good. The effects are amateurish. They don't even bother with laser effects - any of the lame battles are fought using cattle prods. The location used to represent various planets is just scrubland. The writing and pacing is immensely childlike, lazy and boring and the cast clearly have problems mustering any enthusiasm - who could blame them. Attaching Wells' name to it is the ultimate insult.
1979, the same year as the book The Brethren (The Inside the Supreme Court book written by Bob Woodward and Scott Armstrong) was written? Ok. A worse cash in than Mandalorian and Grogu or Chuck Schumer farting on the Senate house floor while giving his Iran speech? Are you saying that you would have loved to stand behind that?
So correct me if I am wrong but Boba Fett was the bad guy right and yoda was the the good guy.
Or is it the opposite? And a Shape of Things to come was a book written by H.G. Wells. Never read it but I suppose that each is entitled to their opinion. I mean how about all of those Land Before Time sequels that went straight to video that were nothing more than merchandising shark schemes. And I loved Land Before Time and I generally hate cartoons. So explain that.I guess I am a little confused as to what a cash in is these days. I mean if it is Star Wars, who cares. That movie has made a ton already. (Why can't we be talking about a Cash in for Boys From Brazil or The Da Vinci Code. This movie that you are talking about was made only two years after the release of the original star wars. Tell me about a Cash in on Ivanhoe. How about Shirley maclaine's cash in on her belief that she can communicate with aliens from Zeta Reticuli or the Pleiadians.)
