Author Topic: Movie of the Day COMMENTS James R. Hammonds, Jr Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 931 From: Houston, TX, USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 01-01-2003 02:07 AM                     Put you comments here.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 01-01-2003 03:04 AM                     Heart and Souls is a very good movie that generally got missed during it's theatrical release. Anyone who hasn't seen it really should go out and rent it. It is scope too!  |  IP: Logged Darryl Spicer Film God Posts: 3250 From: Lexington, KY, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 01-01-2003 09:05 AM                    Released in 1993, I believe it was the second feature from universal pictures to feature DTS sound.  |  IP: Logged Sean McKinnon Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1712 From: Peabody Massachusetts Registered: Sep 2000 posted 01-02-2003 12:18 AM                        I never saw this movie.  |  IP: Logged Mike Spaeth Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1129 From: Marietta, GA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 01-02-2003 02:29 AM                        Defending Your Life - I was this on one of the pay cable movie channels last week (just about an hour) ... it seemed interesting ... off to Blockbuster I go.  |  IP: Logged James R. Hammonds, Jr Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 931 From: Houston, TX, USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 01-02-2003 03:36 AM                     I rented Defending Your Life after Brad originally posted his review in the reviews section. After seeing how many movies he hates, I just had to see something he actually did like. Pretty good flick.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan." Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 01-02-2003 06:32 PM                     "Defending Your Life" --pretty good film. Watched it again when it aired on HBO a couple weeks back. "Heart and Souls" was pretty good. I watched it in DTS at GCC Northpark #1-#2 ("Jurassic Park" had both 1-2 screens there, but "Heart and Souls" took the #1 theater for a while --I seem to remember "JP" going back to the #1 screen). "Heart and Souls" is also the reason why DTS changed their time code to include Film ID data. I'm sure there are others here who heard the stories about theaters who forgot to swap out CDs for "JP" and "Heart and Souls." Customers were complaining they were hearing loud velociraptor screams during a comedy.  |  IP: Logged David Favel Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 764 From: Ashburton, New Zealand Registered: Feb 2002 posted 01-04-2003 02:04 AM                     I bought the criterion edition 2 weeks ago & played it to my son. He thought it was too cool for words. The played Starship Troopers as a double feature.  |  IP: Logged Thomas Procyk Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1842 From: Royal Palm Beach, FL, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 01-04-2003 05:49 PM                     What's a "Criterion Edition" DVD as opposed to a regular-edition DVD? Is it sort of like MFSL releases of audio recordings? (Better quality, more features, etc.) =TMP=  |  IP: Logged William Leland III Master Film Handler Posts: 336 From: Charleston, SC, Registered: Aug 2002 posted 01-04-2003 06:10 PM                        Thomas, here is the link Criterion Home Page  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan." Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 01-04-2003 06:11 PM                     The Criterion company licenses special editions of certain films. They started doing this when laserdisc was popular. Some of the best Criterion LD titles were CAV edition of "Close Encounters" and "Lawrence of Arabia." When DVD came onto the scene Criterion released new special editions of other films. "Robocop" was one of those titles. It wasn't long on features, but it did contain the original "X-rated" cut and a very good commentary track the film's director (Paul Verhoeven) and the shows producers and writers. It's kind of revealing on the MPAA's system on censorship. The Criterion version of "Robocop" is no longer in print, but there are plenty of other special edition DVDs there. Incidentally, wasn't "Robocop" the very first film to be released with Dolby SR optical tracks? "Star Trek IV" had Dolby SR on two 70mm mag prints that played in Los Angeles, but all the 35mm prints were Dolby A.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-04-2003 06:18 PM                        I can't believe no comments about Fast Times at Ridgemont High! (I'm assuming once the "day" is over for that particular film, no more comments on it? Or is that wrong?) What the hell, I'm gonna make a comment anyway: The "Phoebe Cates coming out of the pool" scene is among the greatest moments ever filmed. (in the teenage nudity division)  |  IP: Logged James R. Hammonds, Jr Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 931 From: Houston, TX, USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 01-04-2003 06:55 PM                     Nah, this thread is for any comment about any movie of the day or about the game and the rules itself. The only place the one post per day rule applies is in the movie of the day thread itself. It would be more interesting though if thee is a little more information than just a movie title as their pick of movie of the day.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 01-05-2003 03:05 AM                        What about the original cut of "Robocop" made it worthy of the coveted X rating? Violence? Robo-nudity?  |  IP: Logged Christopher Duvall Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 500 From: Denver, CO Registered: Dec 1999 posted 01-05-2003 03:12 AM                     Violence. The scene in the beginning of the film with the ED-209 was part of it. That scene went on much longer and the poor guy looked like hambuger afterwards. Another scene is the death of Murphy. There was a camera shot through his head after Clarence shot him there. Pretty graphic...just the way I like it!  |  IP: Logged
