I can actually recall visuals from movies From when I wasn't old enough to be particularly cognizant about watching a movie. I think it was that freaky Disney movie "The Black Hole"

House of the Long Shadows 1983
There were earlier ones like Lady and the Tramp and Fantasia but the Vincent Price flick was the first one that I went to with just my big brother and no parentals.

....Jönssonligan får guldfeber in 1984.
A swedish comedy about a handful of failed thieves.

Ridley Scott has been mediocre for a while now.

 

[lurch70]

that is very true indeed ... but his 2 sci-fi pics ... Alien and Blade Runner ... are untouchable.

hellz yea

I love this failed 80s action re-make boom that's been happening lately with shittier versions of 80s action (Latest Terminator, new Conan, The Expendables etc etc). It's like 80s action only not quite as good but with more blood and possibly explosions and you haven't seen it a thousand times already.

Which makes me think about a To Do: Death Wish series.

[Krigloch the Furious]

finally a decent trailer for Prometheus. The first one that came out was just as bad as the new Batman trailer.
