Karma for that.  I'm glad somebody finally said it.  Most people seem to think Ang Lee is some kind of directing god for some reason.
Kneel before Dr. Hell, the ruler of this world!

How about the intolerable LAND BEFORE TIME franchise?  They're on, like, number 14 now.  MERCY!!!!!!

you know when you get to the point in your life when you are about to become a parent, other parents tell you all kinds of things to expect such as sleeplessness, joys of motherhood, ect ect. they never mention having to watch the land before time till your teeth ache and you begin to question reality. It should be mandantory that these tapes self-destruct after so many viewings....

The first one (only the first one) is actually quite a good film.  After that, they quickly descended into territory best left uncharted.  I'm happy to say that my children still only know of the first one.  They've also seen "The Iron Giant" and "The Dark Crystal" among others - it's gone a long way to preserving my sanity.

If my future kids try to make me watch the first one again I will since I liked that one.  After that, what I am going to do is getting those joke glasses that eye painted on them and wear them, or the other thing I can try doing is have someone paint eyeballs on my eyelids, so it looks like I'm awake.

Thanks for the karma Akira, that's very nice of you. :smile:

Flower, gleam and glow
Let your power shine
Make the clock reverse
Bring back what once was mine
Heal what has been hurt
Change the fates' design
Save what has been lost
Bring back what once was mine
What once was mine.......

"Living Dead" anything at this point.

The Romero series is good. The Dawn of the Dead remake was cool. The first Return of the Living Dead was great. But pretty much all other sequels, spinoffs, reboots, remakes, ripoffs since have sucked. Go remake the "Blind Dead" films instead, maybe some fun relaunching those can be had.

Steven Segal trying to be a serious action star in cheaper and cheaper films and paired with rappers, wrestlers, or whatever. Dude, just make a movie poking fun how old and fat you are are now, laugh at yourself, deflate your image and ego a little. It worked for other action stars, but your time may have passed. Or play "Groo the Wanderer" in a live action film like someone suggested on a another board.

Anything with Richard Greico actually credited in the cast. He was in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang for about two seconds but if they hadn't pointed it out in commentary I wouldn't have know.
