I thought it was Glane's collection. I thought I had the pic but I couldn't find it.

It's open to anyone and everyone that loves Macross/Robotech/80s anime or anyone that loves to customize japanese toys. Especially if you're a hot chick... which your not, cuz your name says so... but that's always a plus. Cuz it's mainly a sausage fest.

I'm grateful Hollywood has kept its dirty paws off Kubrick's work, with the exception of the disasterous A.I. No more remakes I hope. 357438[/snapback] oh yah... I agree... I'm just suprised they haven't done it since they can say it's more based on the book and not the movie... They did a remake of the Shining for TV. lol. Did you know that Anthony Burgess sold the rights for his book, Clockwork Orange to Mick Jagger for $500, what a putz. Then Jagger turned around and sold it for a lot more than that. Musta been drug money. lol.

Not many women can take that movie, I love it though. That movie made the song "I'm singin in the Rain," a cool song. 357423[/snapback] I also loved the Milk Bar. 357424[/snapback] Ah... my little droogies! It's time for a little of the ultra-violence is it? I'm suprised that that's the one movie Hollywood hasn't tried to remake. Kubrick's vision was awesome, but it was so far from the book. I would think that a book like that would have 10 or 30 remakes of it by now.

It does seem like there's more Millia Qraus out there vs the Max, because you can pretty much buy a Millia for $50 even though it comes with the figure and you cant get the Max for less than $75. That being said, I bought enough of the Millias to make sure I can customize if they don't come out with the green or purple ones.

That's just a bad movie... we're talking about classics... movies that's been praised for years and then you end up watching it and it sucks!

LOL, you and just about every chick... I have never dated a girl that didn't like that movie. I however thought it was a tad lame. Certainly watchable though. 357409[/snapback] Got dragged to it by some chick. But the jousting was good, and the dialogue was really good. Brian Helgelands one of my favorite screenwriters. L.A. Confidential, Man On Fire and Payback are good movies. The fact that it's a chick movie is what puts it in the 'guilty pleasures' category. There's another, but it makes me feel too guilty to list.

Hopefully they have more non-valk suprises like the Koenig Monster and the Q-rau. Welcome to the party, party!

Another bad "classic" I just happened to think of (because there's a new film about Truman Capote) is the 1967 film "In Cold Blood" I was invited to a screening of this 'gem' and I was going out of my mind of boredom... too bad I didn't drive cuz I wanted to walk out so badly. Speaking of movies about killers, does anyone remember 'Henry: Portrait Of a Serial Killer'?

I said the same exact thing about Heat in another thread. I might disagree with other movies because I think Collateral and Last Of The Mohicans... But man, that first season of Crime Story was awesome.

Wow, you just earned the ignore button... it's so easy to say things like that, but I bet if you list the names of films you consider classic it'll be something close to a gayathon... see I can do it too!

Maybe if they did a Special Director's Abridged Version I would buy it. But knowing Jackson it'll be 5 hours long...

Knight's Tale

I'm sure the GBP is designed to go on any valks just like the FPs. I think I just get nitpicky when it comes to schemes, but when they're in their standard colors and it's all good.

I was just at a lost though. Because I thought Kong to be an utter bomb when I read this thread. I check out Box Office Guru for release schedules mostly then I peek at how movies are doing. But lately there hasn't been any movie that really interested me enough to look as often as I used to.

I didn't liked Sin City too but my reasons was It tried too hard to tell eveyone's story and ends up being too much work too follow whos alive and whos dead. Bad Story flow 357188[/snapback] Ok, I liked Sin City and all.....but I think its WAY too early to be calling it a "classic," much less pissing on said classic status. 357190[/snapback] The movies people are considering classic now are way different to us old man... hell even in music, the status of classic is catching up. I heard INXS and U2 in a classic rock station.

Any of those similarly budgeted films that did that well wasn't all that great to me, just like Kong. Titanic and Spider-Man were marginal films. Without the boat sinking at the end, Titanic was a real bad period drama. And without the web slinging sequences and the fights Spider-Man is a bad 90210/O.C. episode. At the way the B.O office has been going the last year I'm suprised Kong or Narnia even made as much as they have.

I never thought Breakfast At Tiffany would be something that you would watch, but if you wanna see a decent Audrey Hepburn film check out Roman Holiday. It still might be a little to much of a date movie for you though. If so just skip that and watch Amelie.

not from me... (Keith maybe) but I agree. That's the thing about this thread though... Maybe Citizen Kane was a great movie but we've been saturated over the years with the demand for more accuracy and different acting styles that old legends don't hold up. John Wayne was looked up to at the time but his characters were so one dimensional. Now we have troubled heroes and more humanized villlains. If you compare John Wayne to other actors of the time he always took the action roles. Cary Grant and Jimmy Stewart took the everyday man as hero types... Lets face it... John Wayne was the Arnie of his day except he never got knocked up.

What was it projected to do?

I have no doubt techinically that CK was a great movie... but as a movie itself it wholly not interesting. I Love Lucy was revolutionary as a TV sitcom... but I really can't watch that anymore. Jimmy Stewart is one of my favorite actors as well. Shenandoah is one great epic.

So Kong turns out to be a huge hit, as did Narnia... even though it did poorly in it's initial release those two movies have been consistent in 1st and second place even until now. Each one fighting for first place every week.

I love great cinematography, it doesn't mean I'm gonna watch Michael Bay films... those are the best looking movies recently but are just excruciating to sit thru. Not that I'm comparing Orson Welles to Michael Bay.

Citizen Kane and The Maltese Falcon. Most movies lived up to their hype, Casablance, Gone With The Wind... but these two were absolutely boring.
