I genuinely can't find anywhere to either stream or rent No Holds Barred, so it's been replaced with Stand By Me. I assume they're very similar films.

 

[Reek]

thats extremely disappointing.... look at that cast.

 

[Reek]

it has Paul Bennett....Yes... THAT one...

The similarities between Zeus/Tiny Lister and Wil Wheaton's character in Stand By Me will blow your mind.

 

[Perfect Cell]

Never mind, I found it. Wheaton goes back in the trash where he belongs.

But we got to see that dead body so... I call that a win.

Also... We sold it to Roose and made a small profit.

I think Roose would call that "creating your own economic cycle". Beginning... and the end.

 

[Reek]

He mostly comes at night. Mostly.

We all have our fetishes I suppose.

Did the Korean Archery team just flip off the world?

They control most of the world's electronics so they can do whatever they want.

 

[Reek]

I own Korea... All 3 of them.

West Korea is beautiful this time of year.

 

[Reek]

Wrong.

Space Korea.

I watched Young Frankenstein and Close Encounters of the Third Kind. I especially liked the ending of Close Encounters where Richard Dreyfuss left to go to Space Korea.

Dreyfuss and Reek go way back. It's why he wasn't eaten immediately by the aliens.


Immediately.

Also, I clearly had the wrong impression of Close Encounters. I thought it was a whimsical adventure or some ****. But the whole first half of the movie was tense as all hell, leading up to the abduction scene...

Also, near the end, I started to wonder how many of the little aliens I could take in a fight. I figure at least 6 or 7. You catch them under the chin and they're flying back a good five feet.

Of Spielberg's early hot streak of films, as a lad I couldn't get into it myself.

Then again... I screamed bloody murder at E.T. too so...

But yeah, there's wonder but also a real ominous vibe to the early proceeding of Close Encounters. It wasn't until revistiting it in my 30's that I was able to appreciate it.

I liked it a lot, it just threw me for a loop. Though Richard Dreyfuss' character is a piece of ****. You have A LOT of kids, man. I know the wife left with them, but maybe give it more than a day before you start having intimate moments with another woman and then leave for the Andromeda galaxy.

Young Frankenstein was good, too. Maybe not as laugh-out-loud as I expected, but it was charming. Though it did get a big laugh from me during the scene where the mob of villagers march through the forest, and one of them just runs into a tree. I don't know why that got me, but it did. And now I'm going to rank them, because ranking things is fun. All things are a competition.

1. Close Encounters of the Third Kind
2. Young Frankenstein

Yeah, the Dreyfuss as runaway dad thing never sat well with me as a kid, and even now. I mean I have outgrown needing every main character in a movie to be moral paragons these days but you zeroed in on it. Maybe Spielberg was working through some personal stuff about his dad? I honestly don't know enough about his life outside of being a film geek from childhood and that he married the female lead from Temple Of Doom.

Also... I LOVE the way early Spielberg films look, beyond just the VFX or such. He has an amazing textured feel to so much. These are real people in a very real world.


Imma give you some extra credit... Watch the original Frankenstein from the 1930's. A lot of what Brooks does directly riffs that film which when he made Young Frankenstein was more in the audience's memory than today. Maybe some of the references will come off better and more humorous that way?

It was one of my dad's favorite films so I've seen it alot but if I had to decide Young Frankenstein or say Blazing Saddles... Gotta go with Blazing Saddles every time as good as YF is.

I have 18 more movies to watch, Krypton. I'm not accepting any hop-ons. This is not a stair car.
