Another stupid pinhead zombie / undead movie.

Sylvester Stallone is reaching the age where the next film will be "Rambo - Iron Poor blood"
Just can see the tie in.

They thought a boring movie (to me) is impervious to a remake?

There is a dreary musical piece "Dream of Autumn" (Songe D'Automne) on the "Titanic" CD. What kind of disturbing dream did Archibald Joyce had regarding autumn!?
Hate to hear the one about winter.

Are you a Springsteen fan as well?
I have some 45's, much of what I like is from the mid 1980's. The reason I mentioned Garth Brooks, there are ads on TV about the documentary.

Just watched the "extended version" of Peckinpah's Major Dundee on TCM tonight, and I have to say that THAT was one very good IF not great Western!
Yes, after investigating this film's history on the internet, I found that the shorten version which was somewhat orphaned by the director due to the studio making its own cuts to it was panned by many critics back in '65 when it was released. But c'mon here, after watching this extended version tonight and one I'd say should rate at least 3 stars and perhaps even 3 and a half stars, I have to ask how bad could have been the shorten version?
Guess I forgot to add that I've never watched this film, shorten of not, until this evening, and as you can tell, I was very impressed with it.
(...and so maybe Peckinpah WAS justified in drinking himself to an early death after all and after the treatment the suits in Hollywood gave him, eh?!)
Well, whomever responsible for the satellite guide had to give THEIR personal opinion.

Just reminded me to edit my post.

Another example why newer movies are bashed.
"Brightburn" (2019)

What about Duck Tracy?

SPOILER
Like to point out a filming blunder, the movie "Halloween" (1978). The plot is in Haddonfield, Illinois during the AUTUMN. Shot in South Pasedena California, explains why the trees are green with all their leaves. Suppose to be October 31st in the northern part of the U.S.
This is the real Haddonfield during the early autumn. Thank you Google Earth.

Excuse me here ham, but back in the '60s and other than CBS, NBC and ABC, what would have been the fourth network back then you've referred to here?
'Cause those three networks are all I member watching back then, and this would have been in the major media center of Los Angeles and where we had seven VHF band broadcast channels (three affiliated with the aforementioned networks, and four independent ones), and with the then newly formed Educational Television "network" and as you mentioned soon to become PBS being broadcast on the UHF band in L.A.
(...I think you meant to say "3 networks and a channel that...." now didn't ya, and because the fourth network, Fox, didn't begin operations until the mid-'80s)
My bad, did had 4 channels but 2 NBC's. Been 50+ years and was a kid. One NBC came from Huntington - channel 3, the other Bluefield, WV - channel 6. The MATV (on steroids) mountain top antennas picked up both. We never had any UHF stations.
On a rare occasion after the locals went off the air after 12:00am can pick up far off stations due to tropospheric-bending, or "skip". Those days are gone forever.
Another memory...

I guess they could always move Heidi over to The Golf Channel.
Don't think there was such a thing. The 1960's, 3 networks and a channel that had a camera that moved side to side constantly showing old school weather instruments for the temp, humidity, wind speed / direction and barometer. It later became PBS.

My father recalls when one theatre played Fiddler on the roof for about 5 years in the 1970s.....
Feel sorry for the projectionist.

My downtown movie theatre manager told me (some time back before it closed) he worked for a 70mm outlet in Richmond, VA. He showed "The Sound of Music" for a year. If I done something like that, would had lost my sanity. The songs, over and over and over again!. Oh the humanity.

This is probably the sole Godzilla film I have yet to see too
I think it's TCM that had another great in-between & most interviewed seem to like the Japanese release the best
Didn't miss much, Godzilla spent 90% of the time under water going from point A to B and there is little of the battles we got accustom to.

"Godzilla" (2014) movie took too long for Godzilla to fight the monsters. What an ending, death by bad breath.
