# I just saw a fascinating docum-drama on a real life event that occured some time in the early 2000s...

...so I thought I would share a screen grab with you!

*for anyone interested, the shark pic is from this up and coming Hollywood blockbuster www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fa7ck5mcd1o *

# Starship Troopers made us all laugh aloud in the cinema
but upon reflection, I think films like this are being served to do so, which is great

# Starship Troopers
deserves an oscar in comparison to Starship Troopers 3.

Anyway, better get myself off to bed; off to see Mrs Doctor to discuss my blood results as if it's made any realistic difference in twenty years of more or less the same; the last ten without the drugs, but there you go, these guys know best. Beer=bad, apparently

i'll probably end up watching it after getting very drunk after my last exam :D

# no, seriously
it's not.
Both me and Archie have it as the worst film we saw this year.
There was a conversation about Asylum films yesterday ( they made such mockbusters as 'The Terminators' 'Transmorphers' and 'The day the earth stopped'

They make films for DVD in 21 days by ripping off whatever blockbuster is due out.

Mega shark was truly awful and I have seen some crap this year.

was even able to identify the CGI effects from standard off the shelf software for home PC users.

It's on the FTP, watch it if you want, but by jimminy it's bloody awful. I couldn't get to the end.

# haha.
I like a bit of Kitsch and I'm a huge 1960's Godzilla fan but this is just wrong. It's not even 'plan 9 from outer space' bad that it becomes laughingly good. It's just an insult to anyone watching who's not been recently lobotomised.

It's by the same people who made 18 year old virgin ( the rip off, not the hollywood one '17 year old...')

And I have it on record that Redsushi actually wants to kill you for making him watch that :D

# It's a fine line.
For years I presumed Doc Savage: Man of Bronze was a hilariously bad film before I realised it's actually just a camp parody which is so well done it's honestly dazzlingly bizaare.

Conversely there are loads of films which are terribly poor which are worshipped as being brilliant, like turkish Rambo.

# All my old favourites disappoint me as I get older.
I had the misfortune to see 'The Evil Dead' again recently and I wish I hadn't. It seemed so much better when I was 15.

# Evil Dead II
is much better - it's a retread with more laughs and a bigger budget, really.

# What annoyed me is
I watched it on Blu-Ray and it was still grainy old shit. What's the point of bringing out a blu-ray for a film that was shot on granddad's super-8?

# I hope Drag Me To Hell
is good - it's been ages since Raimi's done horror.

# He's only a producer on that
which means he put money into it as opposed to artistic input..

If you count that as involved then he's made loads of films recently.

( most of them shit )
www.imdb.com/name/nm0000600/

# Oh, right - I thought he was directing it.
Very different state of affairs, then - he has put his name and money behind some right shit, indeed...
(I helped save b3ta! enceladus, Mon 18 May 2009, 0:53, archived)
# I stand corrected.
He's Director as well.

i still don't hold any hopes for it.

# I hope he comes up with the goods.
'A Simple Plan' was a great thriller. Mind you, that was over ten years ago...
(I helped save b3ta! enceladus, Mon 18 May 2009, 0:59, archived)
# according to imdb
it's co-written with Ivan Raimi
which is an extremely bad sign
if Spiderman 3 or Army of Darkness are much to go by

disturbingly, Spiderman 4 & 5 are also showing up on imdb

# it shows lots of titles in development, as well as out-and-out rumours.
 
Hence the continuing speculation about a new Evil Dead remake..
that's been going for a few years. : )

I'll have to check it out. Reeves in good film shocker!
(I helped save b3ta! enceladus, Mon 18 May 2009, 1:12, archived)
# strongly recommended.
It's a neat cast, and successfully creepy.

That one was co-written by Billy Bob Thornton.
Raimi's a great director visually, but his writing is.. patchy.
(I helped save b3ta! Rapitinui get in the cage and I'll give you a treat, Mon 18 May 2009, 1:17, archived)
# Keanu was really good in this movie.
It's one of the few films I've seen him in, so for a long time I didn't understand why people said he couldn't act. I've since learned, though.

...also, how did I go all this time not realizing Billy Bob Thornton and Sam Raimi were involved? I was probably aware of it at the time, but it didn't stay with me.
(I helped save b3ta! Shiksa, Mon 18 May 2009, 1:30, archived)
# it was shot on 16mm transferred to 32mm
although they did make 8mm films together in high school.

The DVD looks fine to me, though I've heard some people say the effects look better on VHS (I have both).. the Bruce Campbell commentary is great.

I don't know anything about BluRay but I imagine it is the new betamax
