or another George of the Jungle that nobody wants to call out
Hey, I loved George of the Jungle.
Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
It's a giant Hollywood conspiracy to DESTROY EVERYTHING YOU LOVED ABOUT YOUR CHILDHOOD, tommyrot. Land of the Lost was only the first step.
Oh hell - Howard started on that crusade with HOW THE OPIE STOLE THE GRINCH. I suspect because Howard never got a real childhood he's determined to ruin everyone else's.

I think he can't help it...he just doesn't know he isn't good. Not that I used to give film directing much thought till hanging out with y'all.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Apollo 13 was a damn fine movie.

Apollo 13 was a damn fine movie.
I was going to say, he's done some good work (see also Night Shift, Splash). And I don't think he's fallen as far as, say, Rob Reiner has in his last several movies. But DAMN, Ron.

Yeah, I did like Apollo 13. And Splash, but I haven't seen that since I was 13.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Frost/Nixon was very good, IMO.

Frank, maybe there's something to your theory. or maybe it's bunnies...is there a Life in Hell script anywhere?

Ann, that's a ferret.
I remember Splash as a fine, sweet fairy tale. Cocoon, too.
I think Howard developed what I think of as Tom Hanks Syndrome. Someone with a talent for entertainment decides to Get Serious. And Stays Serious long after he should stop.

Why can't comedy get respect?
