blackjohn Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I want to see Buckaroo Banzai, I haven't seen that in YEARS! Like... 25? Actually, I think I own it on dvd, but if I do I haven't watched it. I haven't watched that film in a long time. Funny thing is, I've been kind of "craving" it for some reason. Probably because I've been watching too much Spongebob, and Clancy Brown does the voice for Mr Crabs. So I can't watch Spongebob without thinking of either Buckaroo Banzai or Highlander. How's that for odd? My Home on the Web The Pirate Brethren Gallery Dreams are the glue that holds reality together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumba Rue Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I loved Star Trek, it was great. Haven't been to see anything else that I want to shell out bucks for. Most will be on TV sooner or later or just go rent them at the local video store when they come out. I can't wait to see what Johnny Depp does in the Dark Shadows remake.....I loved that show when I was growing up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartan Jack Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 THOSE AREN'T CLASSIC MOVIES!They are simply mature current releases. Very true. Classic is a matter of perspective. Classic can be: -movie that stands the test of time as "good" in its genre. -movie that is old --- "Old" is a moving target determined by many factors. Does no sound mean "classic?" Black and white/gray tones? 1950s and older? Anything before 1980? 19-anything? I lean to "classic" meaning stands the moving of time and lasts within its genre . . . -The younger "old fogie," Tartan Jack -John "Tartan Jack" Wages, of South Carolina  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capn Bob Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Well, I'm not much of a movie go-er, but I did see "Up"...liked it a lot! I'm curious about the "Dark Shadows"...anyone know who might be playing Angelique? Or if there will *be* an Angelique? (How can there *not* be? Hottest witch EVEH!) And has anyone ever noticed just what miserable weather Collinwood always had? There was *always* a thunderstorm over the house! Damn, thats sharp!

LadyBarbossa Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Oh, eager to see Star Trek to see what Riverside Iowa looks like in it. I've heard a few things... one major thing that baffled us around here... was the canyon. Canyon? What bleedin' canyon? Where the hell did the canyon come from? Hell, been pondering how the hell it formed even if it was caused by another New Madrid massive earthquake. Just... baffled. But cool that they placed a massive Starship Yard around here. LOL, Maybe it's atop what use to be the Casino? LOL. Or perhaps the region of where the old Observatory. :::Shrugs::: Still want to see Transformers 2 terribly bad. Pity that ye didn't fancy it, Oderlesseye. But, after all, the major thing is... it's a Michael Bay film! Pray he does NOT do the next PotC! PLEASE, Do NOT let him! Oh, God, if that happens! Ahhhh!!! Anyways... Again, grew up on Transformers so.... this is not as half bad as Beast Wars or Beast Machines. ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!"

blackjohn Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I got the impression that it wasn't a canyon so much as a quarry. My Home on the Web The Pirate Brethren Gallery Dreams are the glue that holds reality together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graydog Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I got the impression that it wasn't a canyon so much as a quarry. I agree with Black John it was a quarry. Here's an article that talks about where it was shot: Star Trek Quarry Why am I sharing my opinion?

Joe Pyrat Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Star Trek Was ok, Night in the Museum was great, Transformers was ok. Looking forward to Harry Potter The Charles Towne Few - We shall sail... The sea will be our empire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iPirate Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 ok, so i'm child of the 70's and I remember fondly my first GI Joe 12" action figure. The ones will real fuzz on his head and face. in the 80's I thought the new line of Joe figures were a bit lame but I did get sucked into the cartoon, possibly out of sheer nostalgia. So... last night I saw the opening of the movie This shows a fledgling Cobra organization before it was even called Cobra and their tactics for obtaining very very horrible weapons is outright... piracy. Indeed, they do right by every mother's son what calls himself a pirate. The movie has one up on the cartoon in that Cobra is in no way buffoonish or stupid. They are smart, crafty, and full on bad-assed. I giggled with glee through the entire movie. Perhaps this topic should be in "beyond piracy" but I feel the bad guys of the movie could very easily have been flying Jolly Rogers. Time flies when you're having rum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyBarbossa Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Yeah, belongs in Beyond Piracy, but that's ok. Will move it. But I hear ya! Child of the 80's here, I grew up watching GI Joe and (my favorite) Transformers along with Jem, He-Man and slew of others. It's rather... odd, to see a live action movie out about GI Joe now. Odd when Transformers came out on the big screen... again... not animated. Doubt I will get a chance to see it in the theater but I will definitely watch GI Joe sometime. I adored the Baroness and Scarlet in the cartoons. Shall see how well the both of them hold up in the live action movie. ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!"
