Got a triple feature of the Boogeyman trilogy. The overhyped original was mediocrity at it's finest, but I'm interested to see how the apparently In Name Only sequels fared.

The Adventures Of Baron Munchausen would have been much better if you took the story the Baron was telling about the Sultan and made the movie like that for two hours.

Watched The Naked Gun for the first time. I found it very funny, but compared to the other ZAZ films I've seen, there were more gags that fell flat. That aside, the ones that did work, worked wonderfully. The entire baseball game had me rolling.

[up] That's my favorite film from them. Airplane! is hilarious and all, but I prefer The Naked Gun, though I think I'm in the minority.

And I liked Police Squad more than The Naked Gun.

Anybody ever see a horror movie (I think it was from the 90's, might have been the 80's) with some ape/werewolf monster thing where at the end of the movie it jumps out of a grave or something? That's all I remember about the movie unfortunately.

Also, saw Speed Racer, pretty good. Had a few problems but overall great. I would've liked it more if they'd have hinted at Racer X being Rex at the end, rather than blatantly explaining what happened to him.

EDIT: Gonna see The Legend of Gator Face later today, haven't seen that movie in over a decade. This is gonna be so monumentally bad[lol]

Rocket to the Moon (1967). A.k.a. Jules Verne’s Rocket to the Moon, but in reality it has only slightly more to do with Verne’s story of the same name than Bert I. Gordon’s Food of the Gods had to do with HG Wells’ story. They basically took the basic premise—an attempt to build a space-bound rocket in the 1800s—and turned it into a wacky, star-studded Victorian period piece à la The Great Race. P. T. Barnum (Burl Ives*

) travels to England and puts together a committee with the intent to build the first Moon-bound rocket. Wacky hijinks galore ensue.

Terry-Thomas plays the same comedic cad he plays in pretty much every film he’s been in. Daliah Lavi (as the French fiancée of Troy Donahue’s rocket scientist) appears in one of her last films before she put her acting career aside in favour of singing. Actually stealing this film, though: Gert Fröbe as a buffoonish scientist obsessed by blowing things up (by which I mean, making them explode. Ahem!) and Lionel Jeffries (leaving no bit of scenery unchewed) as a frustrated engineer.

Watched the first two X-Men movies due to enjoying First Class. They're good, although I'd prefer more focus on other characters and less on Wolverine; I just don't find him all that interesting (maybe because my introduction to the series was watching Wolverine:Origins on an airplane, so I already knew his 'backstory').

I'm from British Columbia, so I loved that X2 was filmed here and that I could recognize a lot of the places (Hatley Castle is the Xavier school!).

Mystique is AWESOME in both movies, it makes her lack of any action scenes in First Class a lot more glaring.

Ja Zuster! Nee Zuster! (2002). A.k.a. Yes Nurse! No Nurse!. Kitschy Dutch musical comedy; Sister Klivia runs a guest house, they have problems with their landlord, they take in an itinerant thief and try to reform him. That's pretty much it. Lots of fun and frequently quite funny. Paul Kooij steals the show as ill-tempered Mr. Boordevol.

So, did they just yank the Slender Man's schtick while trying to justify it with the name of the Phantasm villain?

[up]BOOOOOOOOOOOOOY!

I just watched Pleasant Ville, and I like its use of Character Development as a trope. quite literally Color-Coded for Your Convenience.

[up]I thought it was kinda funny. It's not gonna make you tear up from laughter or anything, but it should get a few laughs/chuckles out of you.

The Doom Generation could very well be the worst film I'll ever watch in my life.

[up][up] So, watched it, and while it wasn't hilarious it was strangely charming.

[up] I always consider renting that.

Duke Nukem convinced me to watch They Live. I liked it. Good blend of political criticism, sci-fi, and mindless action.

Posting in all Chatterbox threads:

I just made a Thread Index page to help people figure out if a title already has a thread because of how unreliable the search forum titles search can be (get one little thing different from an already existing thread title and the searcher is likely to make another, unnecessary thread). Also made it because I am a little tired of maintaining the stickied list in the manga/anime section of this forum all by myself.

I am open to opinions about the page/setup I put together. Please use this thread for further conversations.

He Who Gets Slapped (1924): Lon Chaney plays a brilliant scientist who is double-crossed by his sleazy patron, who steals his ideas and his wife. Totally destroyed, he goes on to become a popular clown in a local circus, enduring public humiliation on a nightly basis. He later enters something of a love quadrangle with a pretty young equestrian performer (Norma Shearer). One of the most sado-masochistic movies ever made. I laughed. I cried. I...mostly cried. You know: tragedy.

Live music was by the Matti Bye Ensemble, featuring Mattias Olsson, whom you may know from his work with the legendary Änglagård.

Saw Its Kind Of A Funny Story. Great indie flick, and I usually hate indie flicks. Wonder how the book is?
