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

I'm gonna watch two a day, which seems like a good pace. The next two are your picks. So if they both suck and ruin my day, know that it doesn't really matter since I didn't have much going on that day anyways.
Blazing Saddles was funny, but I don't know that they wouldn't change some of it these days. Also, something I haven't watched for ages and ages but I remember it being VERY, VERY funny was "Where's Poppa?" with George Segal, Trish Van Devere and Ruth Gordon. Ruth Gordon was a treasure. So if someone doesn't want to accept hop ons, it's their loss. I wonder if @Perfect Cell would watch it if he knew they couldn't make that movie anymore and you need a sort of sick sense of humor to watch it.
You could always believe you are the Speaker of the House, kick Jim Jordan off the committee and replace it with Adam Kinzinger. Anyway, I thought you really were a fighter pilot.I can take suggestions for Round 2 later on. I still need to burn through 36 hours of this without losing my mind and starting to believe I'm a fighter pilot or arm wrestler.
Fighter Pilot Arm Wrestler Dragon Knight.
In the 90's that **** would have been a billion dollar toy franchise.
I watched Dragonslayer. I like how they turned the old wizard into the oxygen tank from Jaws. Also, when you see Disney's name at the beginning, you don't expect to see a princess getting torn apart by baby dragons, but here we are. A different time, I guess. All in all, a fun time.
1. Close Encounters of the Third Kind
2. Young Frankenstein
3. Dragonslayer
I was going to watch Excalibur right after, but it's almost two and half hours long and I ordered some McNuggets. It'll have to wait.
Sheev: There is no dragon!
Narrator: There was a dragon.
What I got from the Spielberg HBO doc a few years ago is that the vast majority of his filmography is him working through his issues with his dad and his parents' divorce, so I'd say yeah that seems pretty likely, lol.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.

I have seen neither. Planning to watch Ladyhawke soon, though!
I had read previously about how many look at ET, Close Encounters ect. was essentially Spielberg riffing on absentee dads but I have never read more than that so didn't know if his parents separated.
You ever see Dragonslayer flick?
Ladyhawke?
Ladyhawke is right up your alley if not.
Oh you must.I have seen neither. Planning to watch Ladyhawke soon, though!
Will keep that in mind!
Look...
I'm not saying that the Omen would have had a different ending if it had been Tom Baker instead of Trouton playing the priest, I'm just saying that Baker's priest wouldn't have come off quite as crazed cuz he wouldn't have started his spiel with "Have you accepted Jesus... Blood and Flesh of Christ... Yadda Yadda..."
They need to make "Getting To Yes" a must read for priests attempting to avert the rule of Satan on Earth. Trouton came on too strong. You gotta ease Peck into child murder, y'know?
I requested more nudity and gore. There was an entire sequence where a previous Princess is found surviving in the dragon’s lair, only to die gruesomely giving birth to a Wyrm. The French guys at Euro Disneyland who financed the picture balked and said it was too perverse. I countered that as a nation that had no laws against incest they were in no position to make moral statements. But then Phil Tippett, bless his heart, informed me that the dragon was in fact female and it was too late into production to redesign its genitals to accomodate the scene.Combustable wizards, filetted princesses, broiled clergy...
It's a fun time for the whole family.
Now we know why @Roose Bolton was an EP.

But that’s Hollywood. There’s never enough time or money.
