robot jox!! that is like the a1 movie that my young self was dying to see that i still never have

its pretty lol

i watched ROAD WARRIOR last nite and it fucking RULES. i love how they went all big-budget but kept the sparse, desert landscape from mad max. i love movies that take place in sparse desert landscapes. we should do a MOVIES THAT HAPPEN IN DESERTS poll.

also re-screened blade runner for the first time in years. so fuckng great.

over the weekend i re-screened ALIENS. not too diff from THE THING imo but i have to admit it has a little more action. lol @ how much stuff cameron recycled from this movie in later films: Jurassic Park, Avatar, Abyss, etc

dog jurassic park is spielberg

james cameron recycled SO much stuff in his movie jurassic park

lol xp

lol whoops i guess it feels v cameron-y to me

hi morbs.

gr080 where would Road Warrior rank on your ballot now that you've seen it?

i can at least guarantee it would replace Conspiracy Theory as my only mel gibson vote

i'm going to do a "stills only" thread later this week, for posterity.

I knew First Blood would fall right outside the top 75. Way too low, though.

Kinda weird that Kill Bill Part 2 made it that high. That certainly seems like one of those "barely an action movie" nominations to me.

Maybe this is the place where should pick the next movie poll:
war movies
martial arts movies
comedies
romcoms
LOL troll romcoms
gravity movies
movies that happen in deserts
???

romcoms, then gravity movies

friendship movies

bathroom movies

we should do a buddy cop poll so that lethal weapon can finally get its due

rides

dog buddy movies

there was a sci-fi poll? what was number one robot movie?

Comedies has anger and hurt feelings written all over it. I suggest we go headfirst into that one asap!

should do worst movie EVAH poll. so i can vote for every ed burns movie.

yeah just do one comedy poll. don't split rom and com.

a most-hated movie poll might be fun but also seems sort of 'beneath us as a community' idk

comedy of all-time is too broad imo. romcom poll would be fun and anti-canon like the action poll was.

i saw ROMCOMs first then all-time comedy

then sci-fi

then DESSERTS

It would finally give me the opportunity to stan for Leaving Las Vegas in some capacity. xps

anything that pisses morbs off is a-ok with me
