I want the sequel to A Man for All Seasons. I want to know what they did with his body and his head. I think the head was displayed for a while. But did they end up getting buried together?
And the sequel to LOTR. I hear they're going to do six films on the Silmarillion.

I think this is all just diverting attention away from the truly important films... like the Free Willy series.
Posted by Bob_Scopatz (Member # 1227) on :
I think Hollywood should shut down all other work until the Ender's Game movie is completed.
It's not like their turning out anything I'm waiting to see anyway.
Posted by Bob_Scopatz (Member # 1227) on :
By the way, was Dark Crystal really a hit? I thought it bombed.
Not that I didn't enjoy it, I just remember it not doing very well.
Posted by Theca (Member # 1629) on :
All I remember is how badly I wanted to see it. I never did manage to watch it.
Posted by T_Smith (Member # 3734) on :
Sorry, I should say "Cult Classic" rather than hit.
Posted by Mr.Gumby (Member # 6303) on :
never seen it
Posted by beverly (Member # 6246) on :
I watched it a lot as a kid. But I freely admit that as a kid I had no taste whatsoever. I mean, really--I watched "Flight of the Navigator" maybe a hundred times. Posted by T_Smith (Member # 3734) on :
Alex, are you serious!?
Dude, go get some valium. Watch it.
Posted by theresa51282 (Member # 8037) on :
My boyfriend still makes me watch flight of the Navigator every time it comes on tv and he's 24
Posted by Annie (Member # 295) on :
Hey, Flight of the Navigator is high quality entertainment.
And I speak French, so I'm allowed to make statements like that.
Posted by beverly (Member # 6246) on :
Well, it's quality entertainment if you are pelting marshmallows at the screen. Marshmallow guns work best, of course.
Posted by Annie (Member # 295) on :
No way! I owe my knowledge of the theory of relativity to that movie.
And my frequent use of the word "butthead."
Posted by theresa51282 (Member # 8037) on :
I'll have to try throwing marshmallows at the screen next time I am forced to watch it. I can see how that would increase the entertainment value

I not only enjoyed The Dark Crystal, a previous roommate would often compare me to the cruel Skeksis.
Honestly, you drain a guy of his life essence ONE TIME and you never live it down. Hmmph.

*wobbly lower lip* But I likeFlight of the Navigator.
Posted by T_Smith (Member # 3734) on :
Me too, Rivka. Me too.
Posted by theresa51282 (Member # 8037) on :
See I used to feel that way but 500 viewings have beaten the liking out of me Posted by beverly (Member # 6246) on :
It's about on the same level as "Short Circuit".
Posted by Annie (Member # 295) on :
Twisted Sister? Who is she?
It's a he. Actually, it's a they.

beverly, nuh UH! Posted by Theca (Member # 1629) on :
I loved Flight of the Navigator!
I also loved that movie about a little boy. D.A.R.Y.L.
Oh, I also loved The Wizard, the Nintendo movie starring Fred Savage.
I might even have to buy those movies...

All guilty pleasures, Theca. But I may have to buy them, too..
I already have Dark Crystal on DVD.
I still say "Looks like Gelfling!" when describing elfin-looking people to friends.
And from Flight of the Navigator, my friends and I bandy about such classics as:
"I do not leak. You leak. Remember?"
and "You are.... THE NAVIGATOR!!!"
But, of course, the most quotable movies of all time among my friends are The Princess Bride, Short Circuit, Real Genius, Ghostbusters and Back to the Future. Oh, and possibly Indiana Jones and Star Wars... and...
... yes, we watch too many movies.
Posted by His Savageness (Member # 7428) on :
The Dark Crystal is CREEPY! In fact, it's one of the four creepy muppet/puppet movies. The other three are:
Labyrinth (David Bowie in a cod piece) Return to Oz (the witch, the wheelers, the Gnome King, the Jack Skelington look-alike, pretty much everything) Legend (okay, technically not that many muppets/puppets, but it fits so well with the others that I include it. Tim Curry=best devil ever!)

I loved Flight of the Navigator.
And Short Circuit.
And I sobbed at the ending of The Black Cauldron.
I will now try to redeem myself by mentioning that I cry during the mother of all rally-the-troops speeches in Henry V.
Posted by IanO (Member # 186) on :
I have to add my voice to having loved "Flight of the Navigator". It really got me into Relativity. Not long after I saw it (I was 12), I started reading books on the subject. From there, I branched into particle physics and quantum mechanics.
All thanks to that. Oh, and "Donald in Mathemagic Land".
:Thinks: Hey, they could do a sequel on that. That actually might be kind of cool. Go into the 'newer' kinds of mathematics and their practical application from the last 50 years.

Why didn't someone tell Scott the sarcastometer was broken again?
Oh yeah, he's the one who broke it.
Nevermind.

*feels the 80s movie love*
I think Flight of the Navigator is the last movie that I watched compulsively... um, until LOTR came out. It was way to much fun, and they had the design of the ship down.
Ooo... a six film Silm cycle. Sarcasm or no, let's just enjoy that for a second.
Posted by FlyingCow (Member # 2150) on :
As for Donald Duck, I bid for a long time before I won a copy of that vhs. It's out of print and not available on dvd - and lots of math teachers (likes meself) are keen on snagging a copy of their own.
A sequel, or even just a rerelease, would be very cool.
