is that a new clip or is that from Penguin?
If that's Scarlet Johansson, it's new.

Cavil should have been the Kurgan in the remake. He is too large to play Connor, IMHO.
Clancy Brown wasn't huge. He was just tall (6'3") and had an intimidating voice and presence. Cavil is an inch taller than Lambert.

After Siskel & Ebert left At the Movies, acerbic Reed took over with good guy BIll Harris and the show's tone shifted dramatically.

My favorite review was Louisiana boy Reed critiquing The Big Easy. He gave out a description of Dennis Quaid running through New Orleans, "dodging bullets and logic." :lol:
OP: "Hey Tony, you heard what I said? I went to the Movie Board and I said, Lupita Nyong is a great Helen of Troy. Troy Michigan dat is."

Don't waste your time clicking on the link. Clip from X-Men: Last Stand.

Why this couldn't have been added to any of the number of Odyssey threads on the main page is beyond me.

Yeah the SNL group currently is still missing a good bit but probably the best group since the Hader days. What I like about this group is that the writers are taking some chances on some really off the wall skits instead of low hanging fruit.
The episodes are still hit and miss but this week's with Matt Damon was 90% good.

he found this little movie no one had ever seen and kept shoving it down our throats until people liked it.
A Christmas Story had been building a fan base for years. It was a slow build, but it was a known Christmas classic before the 24 hour thing changed its status to a semi-annoyance for some.

He is also responsible for keeping The Wizard of Oz relevant.
The Wizard of Oz was an annual TV event on CBS and had great ratings until VHS came along and allowed people to watch it whenever they wanted it. Turner leased The Wizard of Oz BACK to CBS so that they'd kill off the the hold that they had on Gone With the Wind (which Turner wanted exclusive rights to). Eventually CBS gave the rights back and Turner ran marathons of TWoO on TBS and TNT. The Wizard of Oz was never in danger of becoming a forgotten film.

I truly believed that character. Didn't have to chew the scenery to scare the shite out of you. It helped that Gregory Peck was the perfect father.

It’s just so underwhelming that it could’ve come from the first movie.
Meh. Could've been a pic of a director's chair with Andy Serkis' name on it. I've seen more boring reveals. It is what it is.

Once you really start digging into it, you come to realize his influence is immeasurable.
I'd throw him a parade just for what Cartoon Network and Adult Swim did for my kids and I in the 90s.

Am I supposed to get all giddy about a picture of tires and snow?

How does that even count as a “first look”?
It's just to confirm that they've started some sort of production on it.

A response to the "never gonna' happen" naysayers on a certain entertainment sub-section of a backwoods southern football board known for its "the piss jug is always half empty" pessimism.

His best role was Family Guy.....
Don't sleep on Futurama's Lost City of Atlanta.

Somehow you left out his WCW adventure. Culturally that was a huge deal. WWE is not what it is today without what it went through to overcome WCW.
Thanks to the guys bringing up wrestling. My knowledge ended with Dixie Wrestling in the 60s. We just take nationally televised matches for granted now.

He had her alone in a dark, secluded, empty stairwell. I doubt he'd have moved her from there out into an open street in broad daylight, where someone could've seen her go into that open storage room and hear her screams.

Cant forget Cartoon Network and basically introducing Looney Tunes and Hanna Barbera cartoons to an entire generation. Which ultimately birthed Adult Swim (and Jesus has that had a huge effect on film and tv)
In the 70s, some kids first exposure to anime was seeing Speed Racer on WTBS.
