Snak posted:edit: I also look forward to a joke about how Jekyll voted for Hillary, but Hyde voted for Trump. The joke will be that Hyde voted for Hilary. You know how in Oblivion the twist was that the world was destroyed by aliens who made an army of Tom Cruises? They should do that for the team-up. Have The Mummy, Hyde, Invisible Man, Wolfman, Dr. Frankenstein and Dracula fend off the Apocruislypse.

Dr. Jekyll is the Nick Fury of the universe, he runs a monster-researching facility in the Museum of Natural History. And yeah, Tom Cruise is 100% going to be The Mummy by the end of the movie and they're going to get rid of her, I don't know why that's in question.

Maybe they're a Mummy couple? A Mummy marriage? A murder or mummies? A matrimony of mummies?

Franchescanado posted:Well, the problem is there's so many great mummy movies, but they specifically chose to remake Brendan Fraser Mummy, even though it's one of the worst ones (comparatively, it's still fun in it's own right). I'd love to hear your list, because I can count the number of good mummy films I've seen on one hand.

Samuel Clemens posted:I'd love to hear your list, because I can count the number of good mummy films I've seen on one hand. yeah I've basically got the Universal Mummy, the first Hammer Mummy, the Brendan Fraser Mummy, and the first segment of Tales From the Darkside where Steve Buscemi and Christian Slater conjure a Mummy. I do like saying Mummy. I think I've heard the fourth Hammer Mummy movie, Blood From the Mummy's Tomb, is supposed to be good. The similarly titled second one, Curse of the Mummy's Tomb, is awful.

I ordered an out of print Godzilla DVD from some company based in Arlington Heights, IL. I paid $30 +shipping for it, but it goes for well over $150 on ebay. I purchased it somewhat impulsively upon seeing the price and then began to worry about the authenticity of it. So I messaged the company. Here's my message and the subsequent conversation verbatim: Me: I'm very concerned that the Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla DVD (item #267_9) I ordered on May 15 is a bootleg. If you can guarantee me positively 100% that it's an official release then lets continue with the order. Otherwise, please cancel the order. The PayPal transaction id is ___. My PayPal email address is ___, and I paid on May 15 at 10:40am CDT. Them: There are no order cancel with this company, customers play games with us all the time. If order has been shipped we can not cancel. If it hasnt been shipped we will refund you as an exception or return item unopened for refund. Me: I'm not playing a game, I just don't want a bootlegged DVD. Can you verify whether Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla is a bootleg? Like I said, if it's not then I still want it. Them: I am not playing a game! is your statement How the heck am I suppose to believe you really so many people play this scam with me all the time I am sick of it no matter what you will say it is a bootleg! No matter what go pay $100 for an guaranteed dvd okay dont buy from me Im sick of this bs, cause I give a great price with no complaints you order from me! when ever someone questions if its a bootleg they aways say its a bootleg like there experts , leave me alone Im sick high blood pressure please stop return dvd you will get refund okay dont open it and copy it like everyone else does. Me: Dude, calm down. I'm just asking you a simple question about your product. I'm not scamming you. I really really want it to NOT be a bootleg because it's the only Godzilla film I'm missing from my collection. So can you please just answer my simple question: is it a bootleg? Anxious to see how this insane person replies.

At my very first job, I was a cashier for a very rundown rinky-dink gas station that's part of a large chain of gas stations. Our boss would constantly ream us out and threaten us because the numbers didn't add up and clearly someone was stealing. Just 15 minute long screaming lectures. I was not particularly surprised when she was fired and jailed for being the one who was taking money out of the safe.

Oh yeah. That's a lot to pay for a bootleg. Don't pay that much for a bootleg. But like, there are two basic rules you violated. You tried to get a deal that was too good to be true, and you bought something for its value/authenticity without being 100% sure of what you were getting.

I went to the county fair in Tucson last month and was surprised to find a booth selling mostly classic and cult films. They had a ton, but I could definitely tell a good chunk were gonna be bootlegs. My girlfriend bought this version of Peter Pan from the 60s for $20, and sure enough it was a bootleg.
