Just last night, I forced Mrs. Fletch to watch Lucas for the first time, and I told her that although I knew the music was terrible, I loved it (and still do). <br /><br />Just got back from The Girl Who Played With Fire. It's about 2 hr 10 mins, so 20 minutes or so shorter than the first. It goes by pretty quickly, at least it did for me. <br /><br />Nick - "And it could have been that I had literally just finished watching the regular version when I decided to check out the unrated."<br /><br />Uh...yeah! Talk about a bad idea. A movie you don't love, so you decide to watch a longer version immediately afterwards? <br /><br />Fitz - Big Fan is by no means bad, and I know a lot of people enjoyed it more than me, I was just expecting...more.<br /><br />Rachel - me, too. I also thought Labyrinth sucked when I first saw it a couple years ago, but I don't know, I didn't love NES, but I can see why so many do.Fletchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17299302086449086987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-859290034031232542.post-91520986339964332972010-07-09T21:04:11.200-07:002010-07-09T21:04:11.200-07:00I loved Neverending Story as a kid, but just watch...I loved Neverending Story as a kid, but just watched it again a few weeks ago and it didn't hold up. I'm surprised you liked it. I didn't see Labyrinth as a kid, so when I finally got around to it in my early 20s, I thought it sucked.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12386248680892197260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-859290034031232542.post-71763620945097116252010-07-08T11:04:27.455-07:002010-07-08T11:04:27.455-07:00Bummer, I expected more from Big Fan considering P...Bummer, I expected more from Big Fan considering Patton and Corrigan are in it.Colin Biggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09262867105152233537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-859290034031232542.post-14015227109703028302010-07-08T09:10:47.010-07:002010-07-08T09:10:47.010-07:00Dylan: There's about an extra 20 minutes to th...Dylan: There's about an extra 20 minutes to the unrated version besides the random nudity. I thought the movie felt too long as it was, but the unrated felt almost never-ending. Between mixing in the unnecessary nudity (I like boobs as much as the next guy, but even I felt that was a bit too much) and showing us multiple takes of the same scenes/mixing in bloopers... it was just too odd.<br /><br />I didn't HATE the movie; I just didn't think it was all that good. And it could have been that I had literally just finished watching the regular version when I decided to check out the unrated.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08092564511948736386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-859290034031232542.post-83911472902363442012010-07-07T14:18:03.809-07:002010-07-07T14:18:03.809-07:00Take that last comment back, Hatter...
How can yo...Take that last comment back, Hatter...<br /><br />How can you guys not appreciate the vision of <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3khTntOxX-k" rel="nofollow">this song</a>? Just look at that video. <br /><br />Anyway, thanks, Fletch. Married life is so far, so good. Now it's back to business catching up on all of those things that were left on the side of the road for a couple of months, movies being unfortunately only one of those things.<br /><br />I've been trying to see Dragon Tattoo for what feels like about 3 months now and I still haven't made it. Now that the sequel is out this Friday (at least here) the clock is ticking...I hope that one isn't like 5 hours long, too.Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05222052132452709301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-859290034031232542.post-40129788987702274842010-07-07T11:55:43.898-07:002010-07-07T11:55:43.898-07:00Much as I tend to guffaw at catalogue titles that ...Much as I tend to guffaw at catalogue titles that people haven't seen - I wouldn't berate you for this one.<br /><br />NES is the sort of movie that I categorize as "If you didn't see it back then, don't bother with it now" as it tends not to hold up very well. (This in particular isn't one of my favorites).<br /><br />Oh, and count me in as a non-fan of the song.Ryan McNeilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00440134802928893661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-859290034031232542.post-80293607524908542392010-07-07T11:52:13.109-07:002010-07-07T11:52:13.109-07:00Jess - yeah, Sebastian, but when I see that name, ...Jess - yeah, Sebastian, but when I see that name, I just think "Bastard." Still not as bad as Gyllenhaal's name in PoP: "Dastan." I wanted to scream "Just call him Dustin!!"<br /><br />And yes, I love Flight of the Navigator, even though it hasn't aged as gracefully and/or is just intended for a pretty young audience.<br /><br />Daniel - what's up! How's married life?<br /><br />If it makes you feel any better (or worse), I hadn't seen Labyrinth until a couple years ago (hated it). <br /><br />Thanks for the kudos, butreally, I should be predisposed to liking movies for kids from the 80s, since that's what I was. Meanwhile, when I finally saw Willy Wonka a couple years back, I surely didn't have the love for it that so many do. Damn, that Charlie Bucket's an awful actor. I hadted him with a passion.<br /><br />LOL - the song is painful. Can I sing the Alvin and the Chipmunks theme song instead and maybe we can agree on that one?<br /><br />Big Fan was just kinda there. It's certainly not bad, but not very insightful or necessary, either.<br /><br />Nick - wow, I'm shocked that I liked Sex Drive more than you, and that you couldn't even make it through the unrated version. It's certainly long at 2+ hours, but I can't imagine that all that much was added (aside from the random noodz). And no man, I liked Green and Duke, but those other guys were the best thing. "Yea." "Yea."Fletchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17299302086449086987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-859290034031232542.post-63807805919205518192010-07-07T11:38:55.838-07:002010-07-07T11:38:55.838-07:00Ah, yes, The Neverending Story.

The movie was imbalanced/all-over-the-place. Though I do agree that Seth Green and Clark Duke were the two best things about it. I tried watching the unrated version. I got about a third of the way through and turned it off. It was abominable. I would rather sit and watch the original version 10 times in a row than watch the unrated version once.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08092564511948736386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-859290034031232542.post-91539356136290927372010-07-07T11:26:34.847-07:002010-07-07T11:26:34.847-07:00Took me a second, but I've gotten over the sho...Took me a second, but I've gotten over the shock that you'd never seen The Neverending Story, and I'm actually very impressed that you were able to sit down and actually try to appreciate this movie as if you were a child. It's one thing to revisit classics from generations past that are believed to hold significance in film history. It's something else entirely to revisit cult movies that a very small portion of the population liked when they were a very particular age. Well done, sir.<br /><br />That said...the song!?! My God, man, how dare you?! It's one of the most iconic theme songs of the decade!! You have near crossed the line with your knock on the Reading Rainbow theme as well. I simply won't stand for this.<br /><br />Too bad about Big Fan. Sounds like they had the market cornered on crazy football fans and totally dropped the ball.Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05222052132452709301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-859290034031232542.post-63318742539880155322010-07-07T11:14:00.911-07:002010-07-07T11:14:00.911-07:00I love your description of The Neverending Story. ...I love your description of The Neverending Story. I always liked the movie as a kid, but wasn't sure it would hold up. That and Flight of the Navigator were awesome. Bastian (short for Sebastian, I imagine, though a terrible nickname) wasn't good. Good description of it all though.Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06679283194534387443noreply@blogger.com
