    Review The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)

    Indeed! Cham-pahn-ya for everybody!

    Review The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)

    I believe he's to busy working on scripts for THE SILMARILION, BEREN AND LUTHIEN, and a mini-series based upon everything in The Appendices, whereupon he devotes three episodes simply for Appendix D: Calendars.

    Review Mystery Science Theatre 3000

    i always had a soft spot for their riff on BRIDE OF THE MONSTER. Not only because I love the film, but because they have fun ripping into this "classic". There was also a short film before it about selling cars, which they are hilarious during. I was always curious why they chose THIS ISLAND...

    Review The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)

    I guess I overlook the shortcomings because they left Tom Bombadil out of the movie. I hated that scene in the book.

    Review The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)

    Because film is a visual medium? Honestly, I have no answer for that one.

    Review Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977)

    When he re-released it to theatres, and found out that he would, indeed, be able to make a sequel. But even then, most people still referred to it as STAR WARS, since that was all they ever put on video cases. It wasn't really till the 90s, when the special editions came out, and the video cases...

    Review Joker (2019)

    I do like Koenig's take on him. Just slightly less than Ledger's version. But for me, I love Hamill's rendition. It feels like The Joker taken off the page and placed on the screen.

    Review The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)

    Yeeeeaaahhh...we Yanks have a propensity for huge breakfasts. Large stacks of pancakes or waffles, fried eggs, fried potatoes and some kind of pork, that sort of thing. I tend to go with the cereal, or toasted bagel and cream cheese, or skip breakfast all together, only because I wake up too...

    Woah! I will not have you disrespecting biscuits and gravy. That's good eats, now. :emoji_grin:

    Review Star Trek (2009)

    This was that last movie my mom and I went to see in the theatre together. She cultivated my love for STAR TREK, and so we were both going in with phasers set on judgmental. We both ended up loving it. It really is a very entertaining film, and the actors got the spirit of the characters down...

    Review The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)

    Everyone knows nanna. She has us all round for tea to watch DOCTOR WHO. She makes the best biscuits.

    Review M*A*S*H (1972)

    Oh, I am well acquainted wit Mr. Samuel Adams. Delicious stuff. I believe I have seen Newcastle in some spots, so I shall pick some up. The others I will be on the hunt for. Ooh-da-lolly! Thank you so very much! It's beer hunting time!

    Fun Your Favourite Books & Authors!

    There were several books that I was made to read in school that ended up becoming major factors in who I became, and which I loved. All Quiet on the Western Front was a book that I might not have otherwise picked up, but it engrossed me. It's nice to see war from the perspective of the enemy...

    Fun The Best Music Thread in the Universe!

    I love Joan Baez, and am glad she remains involved in political circles. Music - and art in general - has always been used as a medium to express all feelings and messages. Hearing you talk about your dad reminds me of the Trumpeters you see comments from on social media.

    Review Batman (1966)

    Both the movie and series are stupid fun. I grew up with the series reruns, and loved them as a kid. I still dig seeing them, even though it's not my Batman. It's just something to have fun with and enjoy.

    Review Krypton (2018)

    There was only one good thing about this. It allowed for a very cool story in the STAR WARS TALES comics. The story takes place in Bespin, when stormtroopers show Vader the droid they destroyed. Vader picks up Threepio's head, and reminisces to being a boy with Shmi. He then tells the troops to...

    Review Krypton (2018)

    This is my biggest issue with any prequel. I like getting back stories filled in, but unless you have a really great story, it just feels like filler until the endgame. My other issue with any prequel is that writers seem to feel the need to fit in as many references to the original product as...

    Review Superman Returns (2006)

    I saw it in the theatre, and remembered finding it enjoyable, if only that it came after THE QUEST FOR PEACE, and the effects were awesome. Looking back on it now, we have a stalker superhero with a bastard kid, a Lois who is less fiery, self-assured reporter and someone who looks like she...

    Review Batman Returns (1991)

    It's certainly not my favorite Batman film. Leagues ahead of Schumacher's films, naturally. It was dark in places, but I also thought it brought a proper comic book Gotham to the screen. The only thing I still hate is DeVito's Penguin. For me, he was the heavy guy in a tuxedo with a penchant for...

    Review Batman Returns (1991)

    I had a cardboard cutout of her in that costume when I was a lad. And that's all I'll say about it here. :emoji_blush:
