Yeah. I thought I liked that one until I watched it again recently and realized it was really pseudo-blaxploitation. Not much worked for me but Jane Seymour and the 7-Up guy.

I have it on Blu Ray and I still enjoy it. I had to use Google to find out who you meant by 'the 7-Up guy' big_smile

Re: Suggest a movie!

I listened to the Matix commentary last night and Dorkman mentions the Body Snatchers movies. I suggest you do the 1993 one. Obviously the 70s version is the best one, but re-watching the 90s one recently, I'm surprised at how good it is. Not brilliant, but it's worth talking about, I think. Hell, do them all, they not shot by shot remakes.

And I used to have a crush on Gabrielle Anwar, back in the day.

Re: Suggest a movie!

I probably said it somewhere up thread but I agree the Dawn of the Dead experiment should be repeated on other movies. Bodysnatchers, The Mummy... comparing how three different eras tackle the same subject with three different filming styles would be interesting.

As I understand it, nobody waits for inspiration in Hollywood (or Pinewood).

Re: Suggest a movie!

I wonder if Heat has been suggested yet?
Or Rocky?
How about Open Range or Unforgiven or Appaloosa?

I'd also be down for doing original / remake shows. Planet of the Apes, War of the Worlds, The Day The Earth Stood Still, etc.

But were the books any different? One of the great things in Stephen King's "Bag of Bones" is the behind the scenes of the writer/publisher relationship. All the publisher wants is one book a year, to be released at a set time. Write more, and you'll have to set it aside as they don't want to flood the market. Write less, and everything's screwed up. Use to be that way with music, where bands would put out one album a year like clockwork regardless of "inspiration". This is a business, not art, and too many mortgages are on the line to just sit back and wait for perfection.

I dared to argue that some movies aren't art in the Inglorious Basterds poll and was shot down like a Mitsubishi Zero. I'm glad to see you've come around. smile

Re: Suggest a movie!

Hey guys just wondered if you ever planned to do commentaries of the following "before they were famous directors" films.
Bad Taste...Peter Jackson
Shallow Grave..Danny Boyle
Following...Christopher Nolan

Or if they seem a bit too bleak.

The Burbs
Lost Boys
Labyrinth.

Keep it up Tom. in the UK

Re: Suggest a movie!

Hey Tom, welcome to the forum.

I love The Burbs, and have fun with Bad Taste. Following underwhelmed me. Haven't seen the others. I think we could have some fun with The Burbs, at the least.

You haven't seen The Lost Boys or Labyrinth, Teague? I can understand not seeing the vampire movie as you're not a horror guy, but not seeing the Muppet movie? For shame! big_smile
