I am a little sad that you managed to get in and comment before I got a chance to tell the story of how you were so traumatized by the giant rock creature that you developed a petrifying (see what I did there?) lifelong fear of rocks that has seriously hampered your abilities to hold down jobs and relationships.  Oh well.  There's always the next forum.

Unfortunately, this derailed Blackthorne's boyhood dream of becoming a world-renowned Geologist...

So sad, Geology totally rocks man

BT should definitely try again, if only he was a little "boulder" in his actions...

(Sorry for skewing more Sci-Fi -- it's what I like!)
Me too. Much more so than fantasy.

Ahhhh THE PUNS!

See - I love both the Sci-Fi flicks and the Sword/Sorcery Flicks that came out in that late 70's/early 80's wave.  I don't quite know what it is - it's probably because they're burned into my brain from my childhood, but even as an adult, I like the design aestehtics they used... even the slick stuff didn't look so SLICK, you know?  I think fantasy and sci-fi today just looks a little TOO clean, if you know what I mean.  These films feel more lived in - could be due to the budgetary and technological limitations, but I liked that.

Like, the classic Blade Runner - it's the future, but everything looks old... run down.  I love that.  People try to do it today, and it still looks too... perfect.  They should go back to shooting things on crappy grain 35mm film!

Thats a tough question BT, because there's so damn many!

Bladerunner
Total Recall (the real Arnold version)
Conan the Barbarian (Destroyer sucked)

I am also a big fan of He-Man. It's really quite a well thought out cartoon at times!

I think the thing now-a-days is that TV does this stuff better than movies!

Oh, yeah, Verhoven's Total Recall IS awesome!  I have two copies of it... one on DVD, and one on Blu Ray!

I saw Oz the other day. Not bad, but not great. Terribly miscast but it was enjoyable at least. I can see them moving onto Wizard of Oz next.

Just watched the Red Letter Media review of "Oz" last night -- they also said every part was horribly miscast.  As a fan of Sam Raimi, Reviewer Jay said it almost followed the "Army of Darkness" plot...

However, they said that Disney went out of their way to avoid any obvious references to "Wizard of Oz" since Warner Bros owns the MGM movie, as well as some of the movie-specific changes from the book (the book's silver shoes changes to ruby so they would "pop" on screen in color, IIRC)...
