Ok, I'm exaggerating, but I have whipped all remnants of it from my memory.

The story isn't bad but it's boring as hell. The new characters aren't interesting. Throne is back which makes no sense because he was killed in Mask. The main villain is the Penguin, and while Bane is in it he doesn't do much.

I don't remember him being in the movie... Plus he was in season 2 of TAS anyways, I know he was in the Bane episode and I think a few others.

Yes, but when does Phantasm fit the BM:TAS timeline? Is it at the end of the series?

Yea that's what I always wondered. I figured it fit into the end of season 3 before the format changed.

After season 1 (The Worry Men) and before season 2 (Sideshow). It's not very specific about where it stands, but I always assumed that.

Yeah that's what Wiki says but no idea how accurate that is. I guess they just placed it in the time period it came out in. The series jumps all over the place so putting the episodes in order is kinda hard to do.

Yep, it dosen't really matter. It's not like there's ever a moment in the series that makes you say "this is most definantly before/after Phantasm".

Wanted

Pretty sweet action film...like a mix of The Matrix and Shoot 'Em Up. Lead character did a great job(whoever he is) and Angelina was nice to look at. Lots of over the top action which I didn't expect, despite curving bullets in the trailer. It bothered me at first until I got into the flow of the movie. One of the "funner" movies I've been to this summer.

Friends dragged me to see Wall-E and I am so glad they did. It's far and away the best (and also most mature) feature I've seen so far this year and I doubt anything else can touch it. It's funny, beautiful, emotional and really thought-provoking. (The use of live action was weird, but it worked.)

I cannot wait to own this on Blu-Ray. I recommend every one of you to go see it.

Had a little movie marathon in the past few nights.

Pulp Fiction - It's been a long time, just as funny as I remember.
American Psycho - Again been a long time, even funnier then I remembered.
Munich - This movie kicked me in the stomach and never let up, a very powerful film.

I have some other movies I plan on watching if I ever get around to it.

Watched an Asian horror film from '49 yesterday called Ghost of Yotsuya, which was actually decent. Eve though it was more of a psychological drama than a horror story and ended in quite a cliffhanger, I still look forward to the sequel.

Later on, my dad and I watched Total Recall, which was a nice effort by Verhoeven. In a way, I wish I saw the movie earlier than I did, but that didn't happen.

I love Total Recall. Verhoeven is one of my favorites. I just like his style. If I wanted to be entertained I watch one of his flicks. His one liners are always a riot and I love the fake TV ads he likes to do.

Saw The Kingdom with Jamie Fox, Jennifer Garner and an old fave of mine, Chris Cooper. Also an outstanding performance by new comer Ashraf Barhom. I thought this movie was excellent from start to finish, and one of the very few movies to actually make me cry at the end.

I also just watched American Psycho. It was an awesome movie, and very funny. The best part is after I saw it and took it all in, I keep thinking back to all his dialogue/monologues and its just too funny. I think this movie is one I'll have to own because I just watched it for the first time and already can't wait to see it again.

Watched The Phantom from 10,000 Leagues yesterday, which was another average B film from the '50s. I could tell the MST3K guys would've had fun with it if they decided to riff it.

After that, I watched a documentary kind of film called I Was a TV Horror Host, which, even for archive kinda stuff, was quite interesting. It basically focused on John Stanley of Creature Features fame interviewing guests such as Ray Harryhausen, Christopher Lee, Rick Baker, and Joe Dante.
