They're probably going to kill him off in the end. 

I wish they would release the Young Indiana Jones series on DVD complete with eyepatch old man Indy.

Young Indy IS out on DVD. All three seasons. They retail for about $150 each, but you can get all three for that on Amazon. The extras they put on them are INSANE.

And they won't kill him due to Young Indy. Young Indy is 100% canon and even referenced in the last movie.

Yeah, me too. I wonder why it's never happened. Oh, wait. They did. And they're more expensive than god for a show well over a decade old.

Are you guys sure? Because I had heard that they removed all the scenes where Indy was old and had an eyepatch.

Yep, everybody's worries are turning out to be correct.

Chloe Moretz is a fantastic young actress, it's too bad.

[The Fake Shemp]

She was pretty terrible in Kick-Ass.

[Cheebs]

She was pretty terrible in Kick-Ass.

I am not a fan of Kick Ass at all. That movie was horribly over-rated but I liked her quite a lot in it, not to the extent of Cage though.

She is in Scorsese's new movie I am curious to see what he does with her.

[WrikaWrek]

She was pretty terrible in Kick-Ass.

No

[Phoenix Dark]

She was pretty terrible in Kick-Ass.

No

[Cheebs]

Is it cool to hate on her now or something? The master Scorsese put her in his new film because he saw Kick Ass and loved her in it.

[Phoenix Dark]

what's scorsese's new film? it'll probably suck

[ManaByte]

New Conan pic:

[Phoenix Dark]

lookin' pretty buff. He's gonna be awesome as Khal Drogo

[Cheebs]

Scorsese is doing a Harry Potter-esque 3D family fantasy movie with her, Christopher lee, Jude law, and some others. It's a big budget epic blockbuster with lots of action says his editor. Odd move for him.

[Diunx]

Christopher Lee is in the hugo something movie?

[ManaByte]

lookin' pretty buff. He's gonna be awesome as Khal Drogo

There's a rumor they may PG-13 Conan

fuck that

but then again, I wonder if the first Conan would be PG-13 if it came out today?

It had nudity so no.

[Phoenix Dark]

I forgot about that part 

[Cheebs]

I miss John Millius. Well, a competent John Millius. He directed Conan, Dillinger and Red Dawn which was awesome and he was a writer on stuff like Jaws & Apocalypse Now.  :'(

[Phoenix Dark]

He did Rome though, and is working on a show based on Egypt which should rock too

[Bacchus7]

Weeeeeird coincidence, just as I read the name John Millius, Geronimo came on T.V. and credited him as writer in the opening creditss.

Could you be more wrong?

Sure that it's canon? Can we even count canon for Lucas-written stuff anymore? He can't even maintain internal consistency in what he's written for Star Wars.

[chronovore]

Finally saw "Up," though it was in Japanese with English subtitles. BluRay are really gorgeous. Kind of wish I'd seen it in 3D. The opening was superb. The rest of it was typical Pixar execution, pretty much flawless.

[Cheebs]

Trying to figure out canon for something like Indiana Jones is going a bit too far on the nerd-scale.

[Phoenix Dark]

like buying Star Trek DVDs?

[Cheebs]

like buying Star Trek DVDs?

Like buying lord of the rings dvds and fantasy novels? 

And I don't own too much Star Trek. If it doesn't have Kirk then its boring and not worth my time.

[The Fake Shemp]

The original Conan flick is pretty awesome, but a poor adaptation. I kind of wish they just called it something else. I'm not too optimistic about a reboot.

[Great Rumbler]

I think the big thing lacking from the Arnold movies were impressive, primeval locations, like huge temples hidden in untouched jungles and massive, bronze-age cities. Conan the Barbarian had a big temple in it, but everything else was mostly just near-desert scrubland.

[The Fake Shemp]

It's a great script, though. And a lot of fun. Oliver Stone had some pretty clever tricks to develop a set of characters without almost no dialogue.

The reboot is closer to the Howard stories than the original. There's no Riddle of Steel or slave Conan apparently. 

[The Fake Shemp]

Yeah, still not optimistic.

[Great Rumbler]

Oh, I agree, it's definitely a fun movie. But when you watch the movie and then read the stories, the locations do feel somewhat lacking.

Not just that, but it wasn't really the Robert E. Howard Conan. They took bits from some Conan stories, mixed those up with elements from earlier Kull stories, and invented other stuff.

Best DVD commentary in history (and you can get the disc for like $5 now, so you better).

[Cheebs]

Yeah, still not optimistic.

It's from the director of the remake of Friday the 13th and the Texas Chain Saw Massacre. As well as Pathfinder. I have no idea why Manabyte is hyping this based on that track record.

Not to mention from the writers of Sahara, like one of the 30 Halloween sequels, and a straight to video sequel to the Crow.

[ManaByte]

I'm not really hyping it, but after how well Solomon Kane turned out I'm cautiously optimistic we may get a better adapation this time around.

[Joe Molotov]

What's HP7?

Harry Potter 7, duh.

[Eric P]

yesterday we didn't do shit but watch movies

Mystery Team- for the amount of hilarious comedians in this film, it sure was a horrible unfunny flop that deserved to die.

Spring Breakdown- this was actually very funny but strangely exploitative for a WOMYN POWER movie.

Hopscotch- so fucking good.  everyone should watch this on netflix instant

Murder By Death- it's a literate 70s Clue, the more you know and like about classic detective literature, the more you'll enjoy this.  i fucking loved it.  absolutely wonderful pastiche / spoof

[The Fake Shemp]

Mystery Team looked like it was pretty lame.

I sat down and watched THE BOX, which was just so fucking, I dunno, incoherent. I really can't tell you much about that film.

[The Fake Shemp]

I felt like there was an entire film missing or something. There is a minor side character at the beginning of the film that becomes a major player in the events surrounding the main characters for absolutely no reason whatsoever.

[The Fake Shemp]

I am thinking about renting it tonight.

[brawndolicious]

Land of the Lost

I really enjoyed it.  Apparently the intentionally shitty special effects and the way it made fun of its time-traveling adventurer theme went way over most critics' heads.  Just example 907832047329047 why a movie critic never gave a useful opinion.

Death Race

All I knew about this was that it had Jason Statham and cars.  It's brimming over with car combat, cleavage, and cheesy one-liners by the hottest guy to every undergo male pattern baldness. If you can honestly watch this movie and not say that you were entertained, than you are a horrible human being.

[The Fake Shemp]

Its out on DVD?

You can rent it on OnDemand.

It is such an awful film, so boring.

[fistfulofmetal]

Anna Friel was pretty in it.

I can't think of any part that was really boring..  It's a hilarious film to watch in a group.

[Cheebs]

Solitary Man

Saw it at the theater yesterday with the family for something to do on 4th of July. Decent little dramaedy. Not great or anything but it was solid. Mostly 90 minutes of Michael Douglas fucking 18 year old college girls and then getting sage advice from Danny Devito.

Not enough of the milf Mary Louise Parker .

[Eric P]

Mystery Team looked like it was pretty lame.

there was one part that made me laugh.

one.

[etiolate]

Saw Year One and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. There's a shitload of actors in it. Felt like History of the World Part 0.8

[Donono]

It may just be because I really like biopics, but I watched Seraphine on Netflix the other day and found it awesome.

[Cormacaroni]

I saw Die Hard again for the 4th of July. Man, that movie is great.

The perfect Xmas movie, the perfect 4th of July movie. When ISN'T it a good day to watch Die Hard.

[Mr. Gundam]

I watched Die Hard before I got married.

[Cormacaroni]

I would give you so much lovin' if you told me that you actually delayed the ceremony so you could watch 'til he shoots Rickman.

[Mr. Gundam]

I would give you so much lovin' if you told me that you actually delayed the ceremony so you could watch 'til he shoots Rickman.

Nope.

I did watch it with my groomsmen, father and father-in-law while drinking a beer. Then we all piled in to the limo and drove to the church. We also watched Red Dawn that morning.

[Joe Molotov]

I bet you had so much testosterone pumping through your system at that point, that you barely even got through the vows before you tore your wife's dress off and ravaged her right there in the church.  

[ManaByte]

You can be sure the new Conan won't have llama fucking in it:

fuck that

but then again, I wonder if the first Conan would be PG-13 if it came out today?

No the first would still be an R. The second would probably be PG-13. Even though they edited it down from a R to PG, it's still pretty bloody for a modern PG so it'd easily get PG-13 now.

[ManaByte]

I can't stand the Blade Runner TC ending. First they used footage from The Shining and then that bullshit about Rachel having no expiration date :puke
