  1. I watched the redone set (original series, fire walk with me, the revival) a few years ago. It really holds up. 'Thart gum you like is coming back in style'
  2. Could be worse - could have turned out to be Richard Nixon as happened in Chester Brown's ED THE HAPPY CLOWN.
  3. Full trailer
  4. 29.something.
  5. Speed Racer Challenge of the Masked Racer pt. 2 I have very dim memories of Speed Racer as a kid, and watching this episode, where Speed puts on Racer X's mask and get knocked out triggered my memory of watching the show. Fun episode, lots of funny reactions, particularly as Chim-Chim tries to find Trixie to help Speed and Spritle.
  6. Really looking forward to catching up with 3000 years of longing
  7. I think Goemon, Jingen, Fujiko and Zenagata wax and wane in terms of how much they're used. Since this movie ties heavily into Lupin's family, I didn't have a problem with how the side characters are used.
  8. I seem to recall FOUL PLAY (1978) was pretty good, but its been awhile since I've watched it.
  9. Which social science? Anthropology? Psychology? Sociology? History? Political Science? Law? Education? Economics? Communication? I bet its Geography. Its Geography, innit?
  10. With a lot of schools in the US (if not most or all) won't allow you to get financial assistance if you're not meeting progression goals of some kind. Most loan offerers here aren't going to continue loaning money to someone who with each failed class is less likely to graduate, thus less likely to get a job that would allow them to pay the loan back. Pretty much any assistance that doesn't go to everyone could be deemed by someone to be unfair. Its a specious argument.
  11. ^I'm assuming the modern adaption of the novel? As the '47 version is a pretty brisk 111 minutes (compared to the new ones 150(!) minutes)
  12. Not to be unfair to the dude, but I was under the impression that "quiet quitting" was coined by a TikToker, not fat-cats seeking to demonize their workers as lazy. Or is that just what THEY want me to think?
  13. I can't remember which shorts of his I've seen, but they were early ones on that set of early shorts.
  14. Oh wait, my mistake I have seen Lost Highway. I haven't seen Wild at Heart. Awkward. In my defense, I saw Lost Highway once when it first came out, so I probably need to rewatch it (I definitely need to re-watch Blue Velvet as I also saw it once when it came out). And I think I caught the tail end of Wild at Heart once, but my memories of that are vague. So for Lynch... Seen - Elephant Man, Dune, Blue Velvet, Lost Highway, The Straight Story, Mulholland Drive, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, Twin Peaks (both series), and On The Air Not Seen - Eraserhead, Hotel Room, Inland Empire, Wild at Heart. Would love for On the Air and Hotel Room to get home media releases. And Eraserhead remains a big gap in my watching, both for Lynch and Cult Movies in general.
  15. I disliked Lion King when i saw it. Thankfully my niece didn't make me watch it billions of times. I still haven't seen Lost Highway. My Lynch viewing has some gaps in it that I'll correct eventually (or die trying).
  16. I love the 'haunted house in space' stuff in THE BLACK HOLE and the ship and robot designs are awesome. The Cygnus is, far and away, still my favorite starship design. But I recognize the end is...a mess. I still watch the film every couple of years though. And John Barry's score for the film is really good. And its a solid cast, and...the end is a mess.
  17. Sometimes you just like films regardless. I've liked worse films than Wall-E, to be fair. I love Disney's THE BLACK HOLE but even as a kid I knew the end was stupid (that people couldn't walk in a decompressed section of a spaceship without environment suits nor could you actually survive a trip through the Black Hole). But I can forgive the lack of space suits (they had them, but they weren't properly vented, so the actors vision was obscured and it was ditched for safety reasons, something I only found out about years later) and accept that they wanted a 2001 style metaphysical end even if, really, it doesn't work. I think part of my knee jerk reaction for Wall-E and UP! is they got so much universal praise when they came out, I was mind-boggled that no one seemed to be seeing the major flaws I saw in both.
