What old media are you watching? - Since new media isn't worth watching

Nigga, please. They cast Mr. Mom and BEETLEJUICE as a suave billionaire vigilante. They weren’t above going a little nuts with the casting.
Wasn't there a lot of chatter about Keaton being a bad choice before the movie came out? Kinda like Christopher Lloyd in Star Trek III?
 
Something that is a billion time better than the latest Nolan movie.

Where is Tom Baker's knighthood?:mad:


Tom Baker did theater and came away thinking I’m not really an actor, I’m just a TV personality.

But that's how it is in England. I think a lot of British actors have a complex about it. You don't rate unless you've done Shakespeare.

Yeah, it's a shame. Tom Baker is the best thing in everything he is in.
 
Thomas Jane Punisher takes no prisoners. Probably to the film's detriment.
As much as I hate the current Marvel multiverse stuff I think that a movie with all the old Punishers (Lundgren, Jane, Stevenson, Bernthal) would be pretty amazing if they leaned into the R rating.

As to old media, I've recently been watching Blakes 7. It's cheap. The sets are almost certainly reused from Dr Who. It was all made on a budget of £50 an episode. Yet I am really enjoying it. It's so bad and low budget that it's just endearing and the writing is pretty good. The characters are pretty good as well. It stands as a really interesting counterpoint to the optimistic sci-fi that the US was known for. Plus, the intro is great
 
Why are there so many shills for this movie?

Love Blake's 7. My local PBS station used to air it in a block with Doctor Who, Red Dwarf, and Robot Wars. I would use a whole six hour VHS tape every week.

Check out the new Bluerays, they are well worth it as the show has finally been restored by the same people who restored I, Claudius and Doctor Who.

I had no idea they had released a restored version, I've been watching the old 360p broadcast versions so I will have to check that out, I, Claudius too as that was also a fantastic show.

I vaguely recall it, tbh I don't think there's been any Batmans where the casting excited anybody unless it was somebody returning like West or Conroy

KNIGHT RIDER 2000 (1991)
In the near future of the big city a cop is killed in the line of duty, but is brought back with technology. As dim memories of the officer's past bubble up the cop learns to live with this new way of life, and maybe remember what once was.
Then when the producers realized most people had, in fact, seen Robocop so they might pick up on what this was ripping off, they made her a girl and threw in Knight Rider
it's pretty fucking bad
highlights include an embarrassing cameo by James "lost his finger during D-Day" Doohan and a bit that is surprisingly long and not just a throwaway comedy bit where KITT is in a powder blue `57 chevy
 
Swamp Thing (1982) was an interesting Wes Craven movie. This was before Craven got big with Elm Street and when comic book movies were not a trend as it came out between the second and third Reeves Superman installments. The practical effects were good even though the plot was formulaic.

Took the kids to see Monsters Inc at an indie theater while we hid out from Canadian death smoke for another day. Good God, I had actually forgotten how good Pixar movies used to be. No diversity BS. No pedantic moral lecturing. Every single one was just about the best animated movie ever made for a full decade to the point that I remember people shitting on Cars for being a weaker entry. Sweet Jesus, do you know what I would give for CURRENT YEAR Pixar to put out a movie on the level of Cars?

Something that amazes me from a technical standpoint is how well the animation holds up, especially for Sully's character model. This was only their fourth movie, yet his hair is still so detailed and moves around naturally. In general, the animators do a great job making the monsters casual and friendly while still showing how scary they can be when at work.

I read somewhere that for Toy Story the render time took so long they were doing like 30 seconds a day or something. Things definitely would've improved by 2001, but it was still very computationally intense for the day I'm sure.

A lot of people at the time didn't see Keaton as either a dramatic actor -- his big movies were generally conedies after all -- and especially an action star. I remember a lot of people were skeptical.

Watched The 13th Warrior tonight for the first ime in decades, and still think it's a pretty solid movie. It is a bit choppy at times, particularly the ending, but I still enjoyed it. Always thought it got too much hate. Apparently Omar Shariff almost quit acting because he hated this movie so much.

Chris Walken always said that if you can do the funny, then you can do the scary. The exact same things that makes you laugh can turn to primal fear. Even Ace Ventura will show up once in awhile and impress you.
