| 1097 | Article | Vaporman87 | Great article! I would think that to have your birthday in the depths of Summer must be a grand occasion. You can have your choice of locale (inside or outside... if it's not TOO hot), the days are long, and nobody is suffering seasonal depression. Although I did not feel like The Lost World was a terrible sequel, I wasn't blown away by it either. However, it is very easy to understand why films take on a whole new level of importance and status in the days of our youth. I'm sure there are many films from the 80's that most people would deem "awful" but were so fantastic to me, and likely still are, simply because they affected me in my youth. And you can't fault anyone for that. Thanks kstrom! | May 23, 2014 |  | |
| 1096 | Article | DoctorRyan | I have always loved rainy days, even as an adult. Those were my "gaming days" when I would fire up my NES for some 8-bit action. Today it's games like Baldur's Gate and Diablo II. I guess that's another thing I brought from my childhood. | Remembering Rainy Days | May 21, 2014 | |
| 1095 | Article | Vaporman87 | Yeah. Something is definitely wrong there. Perhaps you should break out a MOTU DVD or catch I Dream of Jeanie on TV Land. LOL | What Pop Culture Means to Me | May 21, 2014 | |
| 1094 | Article | DoctorRyan | Thanks. It's hard to explain sometimes how a bunch of cheesy shows was somehow therapy for me. Of course then again I'm running around on the internet wearing a suit and sunglasses............ | What Pop Culture Means to Me | May 21, 2014 | |
| 1093 | Article | Vaporman87 | I love this little article. It warms the heart. Though I did not grow up poor, I was still not exactly a popular kid. I too found that my toys and imagination allowed me to explore situations in life in a way that could uplift me and keep me going. I genuinely feel sad for those among us who cannot (and in some cases have never been capable of) using their imagination to create, inspire, and entertain. I often used my artistic ability to bring a smile to the face of a friend or family member. There was nothing more satisfying than that. And the culture of toys, shows, and movies of my youth motivated and inspired me to not ever stop using that imagination , and to find the good in bad situations. Well said Doc. | What Pop Culture Means to Me | May 21, 2014 | |
| 1092 | Article | DoctorRyan | Yeah, I was pretty disappointed with it. But then again, I always try to recommend for people to see movies first hand and form their own opinion. That's what makes movies so great!! The discussions and debating that come from it. | The Island of Dr. Moreau (1977) | May 20, 2014 | |
| 1091 | Article | Vaporman87 | I must say I was unaware this film existed. I only knew of the Marlon Brando version. Even so, it was never a subject that much interested me. I think, in theory, it should make for a really great film. But to me I have yet to see the potential of it truly realized... and it seems that holds true here as well if I take your word for it. | The Island of Dr. Moreau (1977) | May 20, 2014 | |
| 1089 | Article | echidna64 | Much like Vaporman, this has been the definitive Hobbit movie for me as well. I greatly prefer their version of Gollum, Bilbo, Gandalf, Smaug, Elrond, etc. essentially the whole lot. And yes, the music is a big part of the film and it sets the mood throughout (which is usually tense). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPkqjc23yqs The animation is gorgeous, my only gripe is the kaleidoscope effect they use to show death (you know it when you see it) and the battle of the five armies is lazily dots and scribbles fighting each other. Other than that the Hobbit is awesome! No other medium has captured the tone and narrative structure so perfectly. This is the version that I will be showing my kids. | Doctor Ryan Presents: The Hobbit (1977) | May 20, 2014 | |
| 1088 | Article | Vaporman87 | This film was all I ever knew of The Hobbit for decades. I knew of no book. Just this movie. And it always left a big impression on me. The style and animation was so well done, beyond what Rankin/Bass had done in the past. The voice acting, especially for Gandalf, was just superb. For me, that voice will always be Gandalf's. Not that of old man Magneto. And the music... it was haunting. I'll never forget the sound of some of those songs for as long as I live. | Doctor Ryan Presents: The Hobbit (1977) | May 20, 2014 | |
| 1087 | Article | DoctorRyan | Thumbs up for Silverhawks. I haven't thought about that show in forever. Mon Star is one of the coolest bad guys ever. All I want with my reboots is a good writer. Is that so much to ask. | Movie This! | May 19, 2014 | |
