Dorkman reminded me of an old 80's anime called Harmagedon, about psychics saving the world, and I'm not sure I should thank him for that 
As for the podcast, the drunk Teague was a turn off for the most part, and I found myself turning the volume down (he's not an INTERESTING drunk, as the South Park guys are on their movie commentaries). I'll also knock a few points off for nobody, in the talk of riding the asteroid into the Earth, mentioning taking a surfboard in Dark Star style.
That said, recording their first viewing would make for a Very Special Down in Front
I'm amused that since that list was put together none of them have made the cut yet
Wait, I just saw Truman show on there. So much for the above comment!
Can't remember if anyone brought it up 500 posts ago or not, but Excalibur really should be in your to do pile. Live action fantasy for whatever reason rarely works well, maybe because it just tends to look stupid, and pre Lord of the Rings Excalibur was really the only good one.
I liked the old Colecovision WARGAMES game. Russian missiles, bombers, and subs are attacking the US, and you must shoot them down. You used the keypad to switch between 4 maps of the US which were all being attacked at once, and if you suffer enough damage to bring NORAD to DEFCON 1 the game ends with the US launching hundreds of nukes in counterattack.
It probably has the record for most people confused per $ spent. The budget was, what, $7,000?
What, just because the creator honestly didn't care about story and just wanted to draw cool images... he wanted the control that comes with being sole creator, but only wanted to do half the job. Some artists should really just do paintings instead of comics I wonder if I still have the issues Dave Sim and Alan Moore wrote...
More likely that any change that occurs after the death of the founder should be viewed with a little suspicion. Either the Gods keep changing how they want to be worshiped, or humans keep changing what they're willing to do with little to no input from the divine. I wouldn't be shocked to discover that anyone not currently sacrificing animals to YHVH on the Temple Mount is in fact going to Hell.
They enter their deep caves to survive the doomsday bombs, and find THEM!
You got it. You have to realize, many Japanese find Americans and the English language exotic and cool Hell, they've done Japanese anime with only an American cast then subtitled it for their own domestic market. With The Grudge, they probably figured Sarah Michelle Gellar would be a big domestic draw.
(the Japanese studios want US remakes, as they will get a wider international distribution then the originals)
Asian directors often feel they don't NEED to actually explain anything, that "supernatural shit happens" is an acceptable backstory. I think it's THE GRUDGE where for the American remake they added scenes saying what was going on, then when the Japanese director did his own cut for the Japanese market he cut those scenes back out.
Ok, that pic is going to get annoying on my slow connection
Fun commentary. At first I thought all the references you guys made to "Nightmare" were to Nightmare on Elm Street, as that's the movie I think of when I hear it, which naturally led to some confusion. Then you mentioned your commentary for "Nightmare", and I'm like, "What?" You probably should do Elm Street at some point.
I am surprised nobody jumped on the critic quote on the DVD case comparing the movie to the "original Batman". Funny, it looked nothing like the 1960's movie...
Haven't seen it in years, so this'll be a good excuse to watch it. I have the comic, a numbered hardcover, which flipping through I realize I've never really read. Probably should read it as well
And others are happy paying for new games I think we're just talking past each other, and I apologize for upsetting you enough to use italics in your reply. We'll be using all caps soon at this rate!
Very true, but I was responding to your comment regarding shaking your head at those willing to pay for new things: "...isn't that a valid thing to do?"
I say, no The old and cheap is here because people paid for it when it was new and expensive. But, now that I think of it, you're young enough that this stuff in fact is "new" and cheap where as us older farts already enjoyed those old games and want something fresh much of the time.
But, Goldeneye probably cost $60 when it came out. Cart games justified the high cost because the extra memory chips did add an expense companies really had to pass on to consumers. I agree, older games are just as fun, but it's like shaking your head at those paying $30 for a new book when 100 year old ones are free online
It does depend on what you're use to. I'm a very casual gamer, and usually wait for prices to drop. Any desire to pay full day one price disappeared when they finally released a Mac version of Steam and put games on sale for under $10 $35 is probably the max I'd pay for a game, and then it has to be something like The Sims or Civilization where I know I'll get years of playing out of it...
