The 70s were a strange time for sci-fi. I do remember watching the SW Holiday Special but all I really remember what the Boba Fett cartoon. In hindsight that may have been my brain suppressing the memories of those other skits. I also remember Legends of the Superheros quote:Legends of the Superheroes is an umbrella title for two 60-minute live-action television specials produced by Hanna–Barbera that aired on NBC on January 18 and 25, 1979. The series was loosely based on Hanna-Barbera's Super Friends cartoon show, then airing on Saturday mornings on ABC; But served as a reunion of sorts for the 1960s' Batman TV Series, as it brings back together three of its stars reprising their respective roles. The specials were produced like standard variety shows of the time: on videotape and with a laugh track.[ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7G7Y0bVbMTs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qICz-4q4VhM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvo5n_IVuuU

Dravs posted:The Ewok movies are real?! I legit thought I had dreamt watching then when I was young because my adult mind could not cope with their existence. Yeah, I probably watched em a hundred times apiece as a kid. I had them both on VHS that had been recorded off of tv, goofy old commercials and all. <3 Cindel. E: the first movie involves spiders the size of goddamned horses, Cindel's brother (Mace, I think) getting magically trapped under the surface of a lake, and a 50ft tall troll. EE:and sexy fairies or some poo poo Pvt.Scott has a new favorite as of 19:56 on Dec 1, 2016 |

Forgot about that bit with Mace until you brought it up. All I really remember was there was one ewok in particular who annoyed Mace but then he felt guilty about it when the ewok died. I think it was called Chukka or something. We had one of those little read-along books that came with the cassette.

The best part is that Mace and Cindel work with the Ewoks in the first movie to save their parents. Yay! Everything is cool! Second movie starts, dad has almost fixed the family's crashed starship and gets gunned down for the power core by some space Vikings. All the Ewoks get kidnapped, mom and Mace die and it's just Cindel and Wickett abondonef in the loving woods. Kind of downer opening.

Yeah it always seemed really weird how they killed of 3/4ths of the family unit abruptly after all the efforts to endear them to us in the first film. It was right up there with the transformers movie at the time for me.

Hey man, life on the Galactic Rim is hard and fast. Lucas has a fetish for endangering children, so I think he really enjoyed Battle for Endor.

plain blue jacket posted:"We may have gone too far in some places" Reminder that Stars Wars:The Phantom Menace was the most profitable movie of 1999 despite being the most boring pile of CGI ever assembled.

Come to think of it, the final fight scene in Revenge of the Sith took 1,650 people, millions of man hours, millions of dollars, to produce one of the most drawn out and unnecessarily prolonged climaxes to a movie ever made.

She got while the getting was good. Can't blame her. Especially since she now looks like everyone's grandma, but Harrison could still pull.

Actually, the longest climax/battle in film history apparently goes to the hobbit battle of five armies, lasting almost 45 minutes theatrically and nearing a full hour in the extended cut. Even freaking waterloo's battle scene didn't last that long.

Chiming in to say that I would def still gently caress Harrison Ford too (and smoke a blunt with him) Content: I actually heard a song by the Butthole Surfers on the radio the other day. In 2016. It reminded me of this thread. genetic_knockout has a new favorite as of 00:32 on Dec 6, 2016 |

butthole surfers are the poo poo, but their 80s stuff is their best. PCPPEP rules I have no idea what you're referencing about them earlier in the thread, but here's a badass video featuring the butthole surfers and the beastie boys when they were still punk in 1984: https://youtu.be/bezWjn1rT1E?t=667 edit: I can't get it to embed with a timestamp, the . in youtu.be fucks it all up hawowanlawow has a new favorite as of 01:52 on Dec 6, 2016 |

I read the books as a kid and excitededly watched the movies as they came out and loved them When they came out, I bought the LOTR extended editions and loved them. But then I watched Hobbit I and had no interest in finishing it. Did I grow out of LOTR or did it get lovely?

tactlessbastard posted:I read the books as a kid and excitededly watched the movies as they came out and loved them Same, I never saw the 2nd and 3rd ones. It was lovely because instead of 3 movies based on 3 longish books, it was 3 movies based on 1 very short book. Like Return of the King is almost half appendices and poo poo and the story part is still longer than The Hobbit. They also tried way too hard to make them all serious and poo poo like the LotR trilogy when The Hobbit is a much more lighthearted book for the most part.

tactlessbastard posted:I read the books as a kid and excitededly watched the movies as they came out and loved them The second one is pretty good.... until they run out of material. Really, even with the unnecessary stuff like Gandalf visiting the Nazgul's tomb and the fanfic Elf subplot, the first half of the film goes by at a good clip and covers a ton of stuff in the book in a swift fashion. It's just that, once they reach the Lonely Mountain, the Smaug scene starts. And then never ends. When they are actually doing the Bilbo/Smaug stuff, it is fantastic, but then they spend the final twenty minutes of the film doing a rube goldberg action sequence that goes on forever.
