The Twilight Zone: Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up? (1961)
My Summary?
Hi! Uh, ahem. First, I'm here just to point out some errors that were't corrected. The State Troopers left their car behind, so that they could walk on foot as they followed the alien's tracks from the crash site to the roadside diner. They didn't drive to it! Also, the name of the roadside diner is, "Hi-Way Cafe" or something like that. It looks to me like somebody edited the review without realizing it was the name of the place, not the location of the place. I just finished seeing the episode now, as it appeared on "SyFy" at 04:30 A.M. (Now, Eva and Terry are not "sluts"! Why even bring them up to comment about the episode?! Shame on you!) But anyway, this is one of my favorite episodes too. I've just recently seen "Star Trek: The Cage" with a friend, his first time but not mine, so when this episode came on and I saw the Martian guy, I thought, "Hey, there's 'Doctor Piper'!" I was wondering where I'd seen him before, outside of "Star Trek", and this episode reminded me that I've seen him lots of times in other shows. Well, that's all for now I guess.
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)
I Enjoyed The Movie!
I've gone and seen it 3 times now. Yes it has errors, as to be expected with something made by flawed humans. I started reading the comments but quickly became annoyed with the very first one, so I stopped reading and began scanning and saw that most of the first page ones are annoying. If I allowed errors to spoil my entertainment, I'd have to cease trying to be entertained. It would seem error spotting has become a hobby unto itself.
Now as for what I find entertaining versus what I don't find entertaining, well, I'm not going to be a perfect match with anyone else.
By the way, the enjoyment of a nice set of breasts does not end at age 14! I appreciate them where ever I see them and I have since I was 5 or 6, but for different reasons of course. If suddenly making it past 15 made them no longer enjoyable to see, well, where's the fun in that?
These two live-action movies are a different continuity from any thing else that existed before them. What would you expect, a live-action exact duplication just so you can say, "Oh okay, now I know how that looks as live-action rather than as mere animation or a drawn panel!"?
Am I the only one over the decades who has realized that aspect of adapting from one creative format to another?
This movie showed me things I've enjoyed before in movies and things I hadn't seen before in movies. I give it a 9 out of 10, to account for the minor flaws. But other than that, I do recommend it and I look forward to the DVD & Blu-Ray Disc releases.
Stripperella (2003)
I Enjoy It!
I lack cable-vision and no longer have "DirecTV". So being a rural resident I have to wait for DVD releases. Being a lover of blondes but not blonds, I of course not only have "Barb Wire", but I have "Stripperella: The Complete First Season". I've not yet found "VIP" or a second season for Stripperella. I have the "Baywatch Hawaiian Wedding" DVD. I have the issues of "Playboy" that Pamela Denise Anderson posed in. I could go on. I love Pamela! There is no one or anything that could make me feel guilty about enjoying Stripperella. But there are certain elements that I dislike, but live with, for other series depict smoking and alcohol consumption too, some times. But those are my personal peeves and I try not to let them ruin the fun of a series like this for me. I too was taken aback by the change in animation style, but I adapted. However, the amount of female nudity decreased, and that is a big disappointment as one expects a lot of it in a series with a premise like this. But then again I adapted. One of my favorite episodes of "Mork & Mindy" was when they got to meet Robin Williams! So of course one of my favorite episodes of "Striperella" is when Pamela & Tommy visit the club and the comparisons begin! If there really is a "Season 2" I hope that I can find it, for as a completest, I need to complete my collection. I recommend this for other admirers of the female form and lovers of blondes. (Hey! Psst! "Blonde" & "blondes" are the feminine form for spelling "blond"! Your software should already know that!)
McLintock! (1963)
"Arizona Territory"? (May contain spoilers, I don't know.)
Pardon me, but I just couldn't wait and read all 51 posts before asking something. At least two people thus far, up to this point, places the movie's setting in "Arizona Territory". HOW SO? (That's my question. Where's the bold to highlight? I'm not "shouting".) I have the good DVD, I saw the movie on PBS last weekend, and again just now, while I was reading some of the posts here and elsewhere. Here in Oklahoma, on Friday and Saturday nights, the local "PBS" affiliate has their "OETA Movie Club". Tonight it's "McLintock!" and "Angel and the Badman", both starring John Wayne. The series has a host. He points out that the evidence in the movie places the setting as being in Oklahoma, not Arizona. I knew that before he stated as much. The evidence is, "Fort Sill", "160-acre land lots", and the "Sooners", settlers that cheated by not waiting for the signal gun in the various land races, but instead went "sooner" and staked out their 160-acre claims in advance of the regular "Boomers". (Why "OU" would want to name their teams for cheaters has always eluded me, as well as to why "Sooner State" is our official nickname. The reasons given thus far don't make sense to me, for they count dishonor as a good thing. But I digress.) But my point is, it doesn't seem to take place in Arizona, but rather Oklahoma. O.U. has a library of movies set in Oklahoma, and it includes this one. Also "Indian Territory" and "Oklahoma Territory". But we drop the "territory" part for casualness, such as here. Otherwise I'd have used the full phrase. But other than maybe the filming location, I didn't see or hear evidence to suggest it as being "AZ" or "AT".
Wrong Turn (2003)
I Saw The DVD Version!
I don't know if this will have spoilers in it or not. So to be safe I checked the box. But I watched all that the DVD had to offer,including watching the movie with the commentary and English subtitles on. The man who made the movie was indeed tired of movies like "Scream" and "Scary Movie", where the audience is no longer able to know what is meant to be funny and what is meant to be scary. This includes the "I Know What You Did Last Summer" movies. So he set out to do his spin on movies that scared him, or rather impressed him, from the 1970's. I.e., "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and "Cannibal Holocaust". He combined elements from those two to make "Wrong Turn". Hence it is no wonder if it reminds people of movies from that decade. It was intended too. Plus, by the way. It was not only made with mechanical and optical special effects, it was also made with CGI special effects. That you can't tell the difference casually, unless you just happen to be an expert in the field, is a great tribute to the special effects artists and technicians. The cannibals themselves, were inspired by the same ones seen in the "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" remake, in that those were based on real people from the 1970's. Inbred mutants.
