OMG...Robert, Robert, Robert...dissing on Transformers 2 and Terminator Salvation yet giving the last Indiana Jones ANY amount of praise is enough to have your fandom card revoked.  Shame on you!

;)

Well, everyone's entitled to their opinion.

I for one (or the millions and millions of other people too) enjoyed Transformers 2 and enjoyed it more then Indiana Jones and Terminator Salvation.  It's for sure not the best movie but it's the one I had the most fun watching (cause let's face it, we don't need our brain to watch a movie like Trans. 2).

Robert, you had me until Unbreakable!  I've seen been able to see what everyone else sees in M. Night Shamhack.  I watched the Sixth Sense and figured out the crappy twist before the opening credits.  Signs, Unbreakable, The Village, Lady in the Water, Crap, Crap, Crap and Crap.

The summer has been pretty lackluster, and how anyone can come out of Transformers 2 having enjoyed the film is beyond me.  It's too boring and tedious and for me, those are two things that shouldn't happen with a film about giant f'n robots fighting giant f'n robots.

Wolverine could have been good, but it was made by 20th Century Fox, so we knew it'd blow.  T4, well, I have only three letters to describe to you all why that bombed:  McG.

Star Trek was fantastic!  And, I think you might be right, Robert, we should change Raimi's film to Drag Me to Awesome!  It has a nice ring.

Looking forward to Harry Potter next week, and a hand full of the other films yet to come like Mike Judge's new flick and I'll see Halloween 2, but the trailers aren't really getting me excited to see it (I thought the first Zombie Halloween was pretty decent, mostly the stuff in the first 30 minutes to an hour, though).

With Aliens, I still have a hard time saying that it's "better" than Alien.  To me, they are in completely different film genres.  Alien is a horror/Thriller film and Aliens is more Sci-Fi/Action.  That's what makes it difficult for me at least to come the two.

Check out the Legend Films version of Plan 9 From Outer Space if you get the chance.  It's got a colorized and B&W version both with commentary from the one and only Michael J. Nelson minus the bots.

I'm still not touching the Star Trek movie.

But, yeah, it's been a slow year for movies. Up has been the best so far, and I still intend to see Harry Potter and Bruno in the coming days.

And, yes, I intend to see New Moon this November. I (finally) saw the preview on Reelz Channel the other day.

But what I really want to say is I went over to the podcast, and attempted to download the whole damned thing in an effort to hear what a Movie Lord sounds like!

Well, I did hear what our Movie Lord sounded like (funny, I expected booming bass tones demanding BRING UNTO ME UNSPOILED VIRGINS SO THAT I MAY MAKE THEM GENRE FANS AND HAVE MY WAY WITH THEM AS WELL).

Oh well...

But what really disappointed me was the fact, according to Firefox's estimates, it would take a good 12 hours (at least) for the podcast to fully load.

To hell with that.

But I tried, all mighty and merciful Movie Lord.

I tried.

It's just dialup really, really sucks.

On a completely unrelated side note, every time I think of Hanso, I think of Hansel, Gretel, Witch Hazel and Bugs Bunny going "Hanso? Hanso?" in different inflections.

Nothing but love for Hanso, I should add.

Hanso. Hanso? Hanso.

Robert, I am down with Unbreakable as well. I love the movie and the score is very well done. I haven't seen the Happening yet, but outside of it I have enjoyed all of Shylaman's films. I think he got too hyped up after Sixth Sense and everyone has had such high expectations that they can't appreciate his work, but I do.

As for Terminator: Salvation, I liked it, it was solid, not amazing, but solid enough. I want to see Up and Transformers, but my wife and I just had a baby so I may be catching the DVDs of those films. Watching the Dark Knight again is on my to do list and Back to the Future. For cheesy fun, I would highly recommend the Last Starfighter. It ain't Shakespeare, but still one of my favorite movies from my childhood and it still holds up alright. The Explorers is another great 80s SciFi movie that is utter cheese, but still pretty awesome. The ultimate ball of cheese that deserves a place alongside Plan 9 is the 80s Flash Gordon. It is awesomely bad, but a lot of fun and proves once and for all that Timothy Dalton sucks as an actor and never deserved to be James Bond.

Dalton may have sucked in Flash Gordon, but he was freakin' AWESOME in Hot Fuzz.  Such a great performance.

Gotta agree too with your recommendations of Last Starfighter and Explorers (actually rewatched that a couple months back).  Both are great fun.

And sorry Kwsupes, but we might have to just agree to disagree on Shamhack.  I went into seeing Sixth Sense with no expectations and came out wondering how so many people thought it was brilliant.  Same goes for the rest of his films.  I never went in to all of them with no expectations and came out shaking my head and wondering how the guy still gets to make films.  I know I'm in the minority for a couple of his films, but I stand by my views.

No we don't have to agree on Star Trek.  I couldn't stand it.  I would rather watch Land of the Lost again (which I liked) than even think about Star Trek.  It was ridiculously illogical and I didn't like the younger versions of Kirk and company.  I'm sick and tired of hearing how great Star Trek was when I left depressed.   Next to Watchmen, worst movie of the year.

jppintar, you should change your name to hater326 man. The next thing you are going to say is that Pink Panther 2 was a better sequel than The Dark Knight or how all of Nicolas Cage's movie belong in the summer and not some second rate slot in April where they don't have much competition because Nic Cage is fastly becoming the next Bogart or Brando.

Kwsupes, The Last Starfighter is coming to Blu-ray soon so I am saving that for the end of the summer. But you're right the 80's Flash Gordon should go into Plan 9!!!!

Hey kwsupes, what is your problem?  I gave a minority opinion about Star Trek and you give me crap.  Star Trek was more than just a bad moive, it killed Star Trek for me.  I don't need jerks like you telling me how I feel.  You have your opinion and I have mine.  I don't ask you to agree with it, just respect it.  For the record, Terminator: Salvation was okay even if after a week, I forgot completely that I had seen it.
