I know the Aliens movies have gone nothing but downhill, but I would enjoy it I think if done right:

new harder chain game "Kevin Bacon" game

jesjet1969 — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 21:21:42 GMT

okay I like the chain music and chain movie post. I wanted to see if anybody wanted to do the K Bacon game as well.

So you have to name two actors in one movie and then take one and name another in another movie. Heres the catch you can't name that person in that movie again. I will post the tally every ten picks so there are no repeats.

I'll do the first three to start it gets pretty fun for movie "experts" and very challenging.

New Game..."Siamese Twins Movie titles"...Thanks to "Get Fuzzy"...

Shadow — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 14:20:39 GMT

Two titles must combine or merge...followed by an appropriate melding of taglines or references...

As in...

"Dirty Harry Potter" ..."Go ahead Muggles...Make my day!"

"Freaky Friday the 13th"..."Is it the mother killing everyone...or is it her daughter?"

Let's see what you can come up with...:D

Special thanks to the "Get Fuzzy" newspaper strip for Sunday, Oct 11, 2009 for this inspiration..;)

Finally release on DVD. Go buy your copy today.

Does anyone know what movie this is?

mastertae — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 01:36:58 GMT

I'm trying to find the name of a movie about a mysterious person in a car who murders people. In the movie he winds up killing a tow truck driver's son. The tow truck than modifies his truck to take on the mysterious driver. I remember the car's hubcaps had drills and the truck's hubcap had these saw bits and the tow truck hook could also be used as a weapon?

So long Captain Lou...

The Simpsons - Season 21 : Ep. 1

robotcat — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 05:13:29 GMT

comic book themed episode that aired a week ago
Guest Stars: Seth Rogen and Matt Groening

robotcat's entertainment center

robotcat — Sat, 18 Jul 2009 18:16:24 GMT

I'm a film & TV fanatic. The number of films(3,000+) I've seen more and TV episodes(I'll have ask Mr. Owl about that number) I've watched is definitely more than number of comic books I've read(although I certainly own more comics), so I figured I'd follow bobafettesb's lead and start my own entertainment thread.

I'll watch 5-20 movies on any given week, mostly on TCM and occasionally FMC. Whenever I get HBO, etc for free, I'll try to watch as many films on there as possible. I'm usually doing something else(browsing on ebay, grading comics, leaving messages in this forum:P), while the films are playing. I only sit and watch 1-3 films a week.

I run the projector at our local theater, where we get 1 or 2 films a month, and I'll usually screen those movies alone. But even before that, I had pretty much stopped seeing films with audiences. The last 5 films I saw with an audience were The Simpsons, Knocked Up, Ghost Rider, Ghost World, and Ghost Dog. That's right 3 'Ghost' films in a row with a 6 year gap between two of them.

I've rated most of the movies, a lot of TV series, and a small portion of TV episodes that I've seen at IMDB.com. I find it easier to rate movies with a 4 star system as opposed to imdb's 10 point(or 5 star) system. So, my scale runs from 9(****) to 1(turkeys). I've tried to start rating laughably bad films as 1s, so I need to go through my 2s-4s and re-rate them as 1s. I also need to fine tune some of my film ratings(I'm a bit OCD about this). I also rate TV Series/Episodes on a 4 star system, but I put their max at 8, so that the higher ranked ones would not be on par with similarly ranked films.

Anyway here's some links:
vote history: [url]http://www.imdb.com/mymovies/list?l=7048598[/url]
comments: [url]http://www.imdb.com/user/ur3103002/comments[/url]
(I don't have too many comments, need to work on that because the world needs to know my opinion;))

I typically won't spend more than $5(plus tax) on a movie DVD. Probably 75% of my collection was from the 2 for $10 bins at Wal-Mart or as 4 for $20 deals at Blockbuster.
I try to get film/TV sets and collections for 25% of retail on ebay.
I still buy the occasional VHS tape, but, but I try to limit those purchases to $1. I make exceptions of Dr. Who & MST3K because it's hard to find the DVDs at low price, and I'll also pay few dollars more if it's part of a certain series release(i.e. MGM's 007s with the gold tops, Universal's Comedy Legends & Classic Horror)

Here's links to my collections(not 100% accurate):
dvds: http://www.imdb.com/mymovies/list?l=7048605
vhs: http://www.imdb.com/mymovies/list?l=7048604
(about half of my cassettes were recorded off HBO, TCM, etc.)
partial tv sets(mixed formats): http://www.imdb.com/mymovies/list?l=29731920

http://www.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/TV/07/01/karl.malden.obit/index.html

Best known to an older crowd for his movies roles...Baby-boomers remember him best as the senior officer to Michael Douglas's young pup cop in The Streets of San Francisco...one of the many Quinn Martin-produced cop shows that dominated the airwaves...much the way Law & Order and CSI spin-offs do today...;)

Speaking of Quinn Martin...

Shadow — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 17:40:33 GMT

How many of you out there remember his great TV shows?...:D

12 O'Clock High...Paul Burke & Robert Lansing
1964-1965... 18 episodes

The Fugitive...David Jansen
1963-1967... 120 episodes

Thanks to www.imdb.com for the dates and lengths...;)

So long, Fred...
