I just ordered LEGEND OF BOGGY CREEK, I really wanna see that, been a millyin years since it was on TV.

They used to show all kinds of cool stuff on TV. All kinds of neat movies, LOTS of old horror movies, 70's horror, great stuff. Now it's all a bunch of crap...boring!

is that the one with lou diamond philips ?

if so - it's a great film ..
it was filmed all in and around where i live...

yep, big fan of kirk wong's work and the fact that mark wahlberg is in it wasn't enough to stop me

he's fine in this .. the movie has a lot of nice little touches in it ..
(everything that takes place in a video store - and a very unusual car chace.)

the asian girl is to die for as well ...

shit .


i checked out my favorite used discs store to find that they were going out of business ..

1/2 price - everything in the store.
so here's what i got :


on DVD :

all for about $200

mighty peking man = kicks total ass! That is a crazed, crazed movie. Actually in places it plays more like a fever dream than a storyline, I don't know if you've seen it, but the "Giant Ape On The Raft Scene," with the disco musical score, well, it has a refreshingly odd quality.

Oh yeah: You also get to see a leopard's package twirling around and around; a ditzy jungle girl whose costume wasn't glued on well enough; and a bear laughing. All in widescreen Shaw-Scope.

i've had Mighty Peking Man on VHS for years now - but never watched it for some reason ..until now ..

Have you seen Romper Stomper? It's WAY cooler.

Just curious, urge. You've probably been asked this before, but you have too many posts to sort through. So: how the hell do you keep track of all of your movies? You know, to keep yourself from buying ones you already have?

i just remember ..

only screwed up once ... bought Mr Vampire twice.

the same thing goes for books and music ...

Picked up Pet Cemetary and Sole Survivors (Eliza Dushku) for cheap, I was down in Amherst.

- Freddy Vs. Jason
- Spy Game

Eck, I hate FVJ...

Last 15 minutes of Lake Placid with me mum, she likes it too. 9/10

Got The Aviator (can't believe I picked up FS instead of WS by mistake but oh well), Charlier and the Chocolate Facotry, Ultimate Avengers Movie, Pantera greatest hits, and I think that's it.

i HATE that when that happens...
sometimes the company price tag or the safety seal covers the strip at the top that often indicates the format.

i'll grab a fullscreen if its cheap and the movie wont really be hampered by it that much (and there's no other choice) but i hate them.

whats with the ding dongs that create a demand for those stupid things anyway - why dont they just make everything widescreen now (or whatever the origional format is.)

Because people like my parents exist. I'll bring over a movie to watch (I only by WS as well) and they have this nifty DVD player function that they can stretch the picture to look like FS. This has the wonderful effect of cutting off half of peoples heads in key scenes.:mad:

i bet they hate black and white movies - and movies with subtitles too ? :rolleyes:

I dont see the big deal with Widescreen/Fullscreen. I never even bother to look before I buy a movie, it really doesnt matter to me. Once Im watching the movie I dont even notice the difference, it's not like that tiny little bit on the sides cuts alot out. Uh oh, I cant see his elbow:rolleyes:. I just grab whichever is closest on the shelf, Id say I have about an equal number of each in my collection.

Eek.

It's just not right. If it doesn't matter to people, then the film should be sold in the format it was intended to be seen it.

Society is so whiny these days that they have to have every inch of their fucking TV screen in picture.

(EDIT: I'm not talking about you, Return. I'm talking about the people who WILL NOT watch widescreen.)

that boggles my mind.

it is a far bigger issue than losing an 'elbow'

a scene is shot with the entire frame in mind.
if you took a classic painting from a museum and zoomed in on the main character ... are you seeing the same picture ?
you lose the origional composition, balance, etc.

sure in a steven segal movie - who cares .. but in something someone took some time and effort with - you are watching a completely different film.

have you seent he comparrison on the back of the box ? you're missing 1/3 of the picture.

i think formatting a film to fit the screen should be banned.

Ditto.

DVD:
Spiderman 2
Big Doll House
Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls
Jeepers Creepers 2

You wanna know what annoys me?

The 7th Voyage of Sinbad and The Golden Voyage of Sinbad.....

They took the great full-screen images for these films and CROPPED them, to make fake widescreen compositions.

uh................................................ .THAT'S LAME.

They cropped out all kinds of good stuff when they did that. They cropped animation, mattes, puppets, all for their silly little widescreen frame.

When the film starts, even the Columbia Pictures logo is truncated. The torch lady has no feet!! I mean WTF??

This is the obverse of the other problem--it's an obsession with widescreen causing these companies to "force" a widescreen composition on movies that weren't wide to begin with.

You think Universal is going to crop Creature from the Black Lagoon or Frankenstein? No waaaaaaay! It's crazy! Never happen babe. They've done some silly nilly things, but they won't do that.

That's right. This is why I've never taken Man Bites Dog over to their house.

cropping for fake widescreen is the same as formatting for fullscreen ... it's all bullshit ..

Its total madness.

Preordered;

Firewall
Lucky Number Slevin
Transamerica

Bought;
House on Haunted Hill / The Bat (double feature)
House on Haunted Hill (remake)

Very nice

It's simply not the original aspect ratio so it isn't true to the original film presentation. Of all people I'd think you would understand. :p
