There aren't as many consistently great films out of Hollywood as compared to the Studio era certainly but there are still some very good films coming out from independent studios and around the world. I have to say Look Who's Back is probably my favorite film of the past decade and one of my all time favorites. Absolutely incredible.
The producers of the documentary "Valkyrie - The Plot to Kill Hitler" (2008) should had hired that actor instead of the joke in the center

The Erotic Adventures of Pinocchio (1971) --- softcore porn that played the drive-in circuit in the late '70s. I still remember the promotional tagline "It's Not His Nose That Grows." SMH.
Was he a big fibber?

I wondered how accurate was the ending scene in "Justice For All"?
Dang, your own lawyer think you should go straight to ******** jail.

Either they fixed the Search function or it took the entire 4th of July to find this 5 year old thread.

On Friday, the first trailer for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker debuted to 70,000 enthusiastic fans at Star Wars Celebration and millions more online. One of those fans was Eric Butts, a Kentucky-based vlogger and filmmaker who taped his emotional reaction to the trailer in real time, only to have the video be distributed and mocked by trolls. But the fan community had his back — and the reaction video that received thousands of hate views has now received countless love notes and retweets from Star Wars enthusiasts, including Luke Skywalker himself, Mark Hamill.
Rise of the Skywalker? Unless she gets laid there's not going to be anymore Skywalkers. (unless a clone is made)

"Die Frau im Mond" (1929)
Some of this movie was quite insightful and accurate in how the moon would be explored. Sending a probe to photograph it first and the dark side was on the button in being so heavily cratered like the later 1958 Soviet probe Luna 3 revealed.
HOW IN THE HECK did they foresaw the Apollo 8 trajectory and Earth rise??
Used a multistage rocket like the Saturn V (referring to the 2nd stage as the middle)
Understood g force on the body
Movie is correct in that there should be an economic incentive like the acquisition of rare precious metals to validate the expense of space exploration. (asteroid mining for example).
Moon surface is accurate regarding footprints.
Taking photos / movie film
Using a lander instead of the entire rocket like many sci fi film showed.
Hard landing though, 1201 alarm I guess.
Fritz Lang's idea of "The Right Stuff".
Think instead of saying "One small step...
he yelled... Hey, we can smoke here!
(after lighting those matches
)
"Spoiler"...some people said in the movie afterwards, the landing didn't happen because it was shot on a movie set.
Had 2 similarities to the movie "Armageddon" (1998), a gun was brought on board and they had to draw straws to determine who stays behind.

I'm sort of baffled by the need to create a thread about a continuity error in Time Rider, as if that was cause for surprise!
Because many wouldn't notice it?

Got to thinking, TCM may be using store bought DVD's that has copy protection. The copy guard will be passed on.
