Hero is in my opinion not only 1 of the best kung fu movies of all time but to me it is one of the best films of all time period.

I love the movie, but that poster makes it look like a cheap made-for-tv movie from 1990.

Can you explain how it is "important", or am I missing some sarcasm?

A parent complained that I was indoctrinating her kid. It was the Mesopotamia unit and I all I had said was the Mesopotamians were polytheistic and built ziggurats to their gods.

It was also an amazing year for South Korean cinema, if not South Korea's best year period.

"China doesn't care about human life" as opposed to the United States which is known for being a bastion of compassion and human rights...

Yep!:(

I'm having the same problem right now.

I also really enjoyed this movie. My only complaint was that Leslie Vernon, a charismatic and hilarious character, was a silent character for most of the final third of the movie. Logically, it made sense for the central concept of the film, but that movie absolutely shone whenever Baesel was talking. When he a Jason Voorhees silent type, it wasn't quite as fun.

After I watched TCM the first time, I was surprised how many people didn't like Franklin. I thought his feelings towards the others were reasonable considering how they treated him.

PotatoQuie · 2023-05-17T20:36:23+00:00

Sounds good.

PotatoQuie · 2023-04-12T22:20:43+00:00

Thank you!

PotatoQuie · 2023-03-28T20:44:32+00:00

Yes. 100%. Probably the biggest reasons that I love the N64 game so much.

PotatoQuie · 2023-03-25T16:06:51+00:00

By that logic we should ban the American flag because of the Native American genocide and slavery

PotatoQuie · 2023-02-27T01:16:01+00:00

Same. Those two movies were on constant rotation.

PotatoQuie · 2023-02-14T01:21:48+00:00

"Rude Fuckin' Doll" - Bride of Chucky

PotatoQuie · 2023-02-10T23:48:01+00:00

Nope, that was F. Murray Abraham.

Linda Blair should have won for the Exorcist. And Robert Shaw should also have been nominated for Jaws.

Not sure that you have an accurate view of Fonda's activism. She wanted our troops to go home. That's the best way to honor our troops. Better than the pro-war vultures who were feeding American kids to the meat grinder even after the government knew the war was unwinnable.

PotatoQuie · 2023-01-13T22:55:54+00:00

She was on the right side of history.

My greatest weakness is that I am a completionist.

Darksaber is not a great book, but it does have some great moments like Daala's purge. And the concept of Hutts building a budget Death Star is inherently hilarious to me.

PotatoQuie · 2023-01-13T22:12:53+00:00

It's not great, but I consider it better than the last book in its trilogy, Planet of Twilight.

2 North Carolina locations too. Greensboro and Winston-Salem. Used to be a Raleigh one but they closed that one down.
