Upsetting as it may sound to you, speaking for me as a long time fan of the movies, it’s time to put Max to rest. He’s been out in the wasteland for how long now? He’s old,tired, dirty, not living his best life, it’s time to hang em’ up, & let him die. The magic of movies is to find a way to keep people young indefinitely no matter how many years go by. Max, Bond, (insert your choice here), etc, but it shouldn’t be that way I think. Time to let him die in a future MM movie & put his character to rest. We know where he came from, we know where he’s been, but face it, he’s not going anywhere, there is no future in that world. It’s the only other arc that he has now. Do the right thing & retire him with grace.
You’re mad! I’ve liked her ever since her first movie “The Witch” which she was great in & quite attractive I might add. Let me ask you something, you didn’t find her attractive in “Last Nigh in SoHo?” Something’s wrong with you dude.
You know, you’re 100% right! THAT’S where I read it & had that idea for most of my life. FMOFL was my bible as a monster loving child back then. When you look back at it, you can see how it was actually a crappy magazine with its black & white monochrome type & the feel of the pages. But nothing made me happier back then.
What I do remember is that this had some tie ins with “Knots Landing” as in Howard Duff’s character was supposedly the father or step father of William Devane’s character on Knots who played Greg Sumner. Exactly how else it ties in I do not know.
Maybe you had trouble reading what i had posted but they already had their fight & an agreement of sorts was reached. Zilla knows what Kong is all about, especially since he helped him in his fight with MechaG. Again, why the “You must die!” Tude?
Btw smart guy, the name of the movie ISN’T Godzilla vs. Kong. There’s a whole thread about the title here. People are interpreting it as “Godzilla X= AND Kong”
If you liked it so much then at least call it by its proper name. “Children of Dune”. Yes I liked it too.
Streisand was never in “The Gauntlet”. Clint’s main squeeze at the time Sondra Locke is the woman you’re thinking of. Trust me I couldn’t picture her in that movie. The movie that Barbra WAS considered for was “Sudden Impact” but that fell through & again……Locke.
Ah I see. That was part of the confusion. You assumed either I was in Europe as well or the rest of the world has this rating guideline? I’m American & our rating system is a little different. We have “R” for “restricted”. No one under 18 allowed WITHOUT parents. So we still can see “R” rated movies as this type as long as we’re with our parents or an adult(s).
Trust me, I’ve seen many things a child shouldn’t be taken to see “Exorcist anyone?” But hey I turned out ok. “Bug” rates low on the totem pole as to who should be allowed to see it. It’s like saying I shouldn’t have been allowed to go and see “Ben” or “Willard” or say for instance “Squirm” the only other gross insect movie of the 70’s. Seeing any of these movies is not that deep.
You want to see HUGE cockroaches? (even typing that makes me queasy.) Then go to Hawaii. Hear that they’re MASSIVE there. Everyone I know that’s ever been there mentioned that to me.
As a kid, I remember the bugs being identified as beetles. There was a synopsis of the movie that stated they were incinerary beetles or something like that. Not that I like those either, but I was able to watch the film without too much gagging, even as a child. One of the yuckiest parts is when Parmiter was asleep & they landed on his bare chest & then drew blood & he woke up from the pain. That I remember.
The part of him creating or breeding the bugs I totally forgot about. All I remembered was that they came up from the earth & I thought that was basically the storyline of the movie but now I read it’s a little more involved than I thought. Must have forgotten all that jazz about Parmiter cross breeding the original ones with the roaches.
Which makes one wonder what the hell he was thinking in doing that. With insects no less? Yeah that was going to get away from you for sure. What did he think was going to happen?
Uh, no I don’t. Why don’t you enlighten me since you brought it up?
For this generation it’s already been done. Badly I might add. A little movie called “Her” with Joachim Phoenix. It didn’t involve a triangle with anybody else but the general premise is the same.
BUT the interesting thing that I did read is back then Virginia Madsen acquired the rights to the movie so she’s free to remake it if she wants & she’s wanted to for a long time but couldn’t so far, so there is hope.
I can’t say “no” but why would they have to? It’s implied or I think even said in the ending narration by Serling that secret or not, it wouldn’t matter because then instead of misleading people they’d just turn around & take them by force once the deception fell through.
So you were either fooled & then good. You found out the truth? Still good, because then they’d come to take you by force so no I don’t think they were upset knowing that the jig was up. It was all good either way. I just don’t know why they would be cannibalistic but ok.
Trust me (we) they are. Not that I’m the least bit proud of it.
The early reviews are calling it a “Snoozefest”. How can this be? Well they DO string together all of the interesting scenes in a trailer to make a film look good. Why should it be any exception to this? It’s criticisms from what I read are it’s pacing & it’s focus on his relationship with Josephine.
Good news! You could be the next lotto BILLIONAIRE 20 x over rather than such a thing ever occurring, belief or not.
In the movie he was played by a woman! A African American woman at that. I’ve seen a still picture of her with the makeup or putting it on. That would’ve gave me nightmares for the rest of my life being made up to appear as that.
Now as I understand it, I think this new “Excorist” movie is going to have a few different films coming out in the next few years & I think Pazuzu figures heavily in one of them because I’ve seen the pictures of him in it, so at least in one of them you’ll see him a lot.
Yeah but he wasn’t your typical heavy, he per his own words “Looked for the humanity” in the villians he was portraying.
Many people say that they confuse him with Rutger Hauer. Me? I for one never did, I mean I probably may have thought of Rutger when I watched Richard’s film’s & the other way around. They reminded me of each other but I’ve never mistaken one for the other. Lynch looks totally different than Hauer, they don’t have the same look but again they can remind you of each other when you watch their films. Hauer since he was a A-lister for a time played on a bigger stage than Richard Lynch, so there’s no mistaking their body of work but Lynch also has his “big” movies as well.
Yeah the British do. Ironic how you come on here on a 2 years old post questioning ME using the word & asking if anyone knows what it means. You have anything worthwhile to add to this thread other than that?
I like Murphy but even I was surprised to see him chosen for a lead role such as this. He’s good in certain things in certain situations. He was great as “Scarecrow” in Batman. He’s someone that needs to find his particular vehicle & sadly I don’t think this is it.
Since this is directed by Christopher Nolan who worked with Cillian in the Batman movies he was in then maybe we shouldn’t be all that surprised that Nolan put him in this.
