MONSTER SQUAD on Blu Ray? NIGHT OF THE CREEPS on DVD? Read How To Make It Happen!!!

"He doesn't really feel the need... by DocPazuzu	Mar 22nd, 2008 02:16:22 PM
...to turn the Squad into a tv series, make a sequel or remake it. It's been done, move on." That, ladies and gentlemen, is what's known as fucking CLASS.
Hell YEAH I'm sending a brick by SpencerTrilby	Mar 22nd, 2008 02:16:56 PM
and Sony can shove it up their butt for giving Kurt Wimmer the Metal Gear script to write.
No HD DVD plan? by SpencerTrilby	Mar 22nd, 2008 02:17:55 PM
sorry, someone had to say it.
re the Monster Squad DVD: by DocPazuzu	Mar 22nd, 2008 02:20:43 PM
I bought it to show my support and thought the extras were great, but the picture quality of the film was sub-par. This is particularly annoying since there is a DVD version floating around the internets which was made from an HD broadcast which is almost absurdly better looking than the official release. It is truly sad when fans start putting together better mastered DVDs than the studios do. There's also a HD Night of the Creeps out there too as well as one with both endings. Let's hope the official release looks better than Monster Squad.

Congratulations on being the first 'first poster' I've ever seen on this site who has had the maturity not to shout 'FIRST!' to us all like a idiotic fucking schoolboy. Here's hoping you've set a new trend!
Blu Ray Nards? by Little Beavis	Mar 22nd, 2008 03:31:33 PM
Count me in...
Uh skywalkerfamily Julia is MORE than a cashier by Michael Monterastelli	Mar 22nd, 2008 04:12:00 PM
Hey skywalkerfamily if you're being sarcastic than you've never been to the New Beverly because Julia kicks ass as a moderator and knows more about movies than you can ever hope to. She is very, very cool. Don't criticize what you don't know. So there douche! The New Beverly Cinema is the greatest movie theatre on earth. Last nights Squad/Creeps show was incredible. I hope as a result Creeps gets a dvd release because it truly deserves it.
Love both movies. by TattooedBillionaire	Mar 22nd, 2008 04:30:40 PM
"Night of the Creeps" was actually on cable a few days ago. I watched it, of course, and it was as awesome as I had remembered. A DVD release is needed. I love my DVD for "The Monster Squad." I don't own a Blu-Ray, but it be sweet to see a flm like this in HD.
the coffin in the airplane.. by nolan bautista	Mar 22nd, 2008 04:42:24 PM
..in MS reminded me of that B-17 scene in "Heavy Metal"..any geeks out there know what i'm talking about?
Mysterious Knobbo by DocPazuzu	Mar 22nd, 2008 04:49:51 PM
Is it your mission in life to try to piss as many talkbackers off as possible? What a fucking loser.
"Here's hoping you've set a new trend!" by DocPazuzu	Mar 22nd, 2008 04:50:51 PM
Cheers, Biggus, but don't count on it.
Night of the creeps sounds shit. by godhatesyou	Mar 22nd, 2008 04:58:39 PM

God hates you.
Wow, Knobbo... by DocPazuzu	Mar 22nd, 2008 05:25:41 PM
...you really got me there.
I just had no excuse not to go to this by IndustryKiller!	Mar 22nd, 2008 05:37:22 PM
And now I'm really regretting it. This sounds like it could have topped the Edgar Wright Flash Gordon screening.
Oh and Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang is a modern masterpiece by IndustryKiller!	Mar 22nd, 2008 05:38:27 PM
Shane Black should know that.
Yobo.... by SubliminalJones	Mar 22nd, 2008 05:38:34 PM
We understand that an 11-year old like yourself would be hard pressed to even define the word "Pazuzu", much less gague its relative "gay" quotient.
How Did I Not Know About This Screening?!?!? by The_CineManiac	Mar 22nd, 2008 05:46:01 PM
I would've loved to go to this on my birthday! And Seth Green was there!!! DAMN!
HAHAHAH SCREAMING LIKE BANSHIES by Autodidact	Mar 22nd, 2008 05:47:15 PM
I scrolled down real quick and never though anyone would be quoting me and my sister's favourite line from that movie. "Dey Sreeeming Rike Bansheees!"
everyone HATES Robocop 3... what a shit-fuck of a movie by Judge Briggs	Mar 22nd, 2008 05:54:56 PM

Bodet by DocPazuzu	Mar 22nd, 2008 06:13:52 PM
Musn't forget the awesome 80s Italian metal soundtrack and the theme song: "YOOOOOR! He's the man!"
DocPazuzu and the Mysterious Yobo by Paul Bucciarelli	Mar 22nd, 2008 06:29:56 PM
Great title for a pulp novel. Doc (love your handle by the way): How old do you think this Yobo kid (along with Skywalker Family) is? Like a lot of other teenage blowhards on this site he talks a bunch of shit (and it is SHIT not SHITE in this country. If you're posting from Ireland, feel free to use shite but anyone else, please give it a rest)about things that he hasn't a clue about. I called him on his pissy rant on how anyone wanting to be a producer was talentless scum and he shut up real quick. I asked him if he was ever on a film set or a production office ane never heard a peep. At least he's not doing his usual attack on Harry.
And while we're at it... by Paul Bucciarelli	Mar 22nd, 2008 06:34:37 PM
can we please put a moratorium on referring to bad movies as "steaming turds", studio heads as "The Suits?" Seriously, it's played out.
favorite line from "monster squad" not about werewolf testicles by Toe Jam	Mar 22nd, 2008 07:08:33 PM
it's the part later in the movie where dracula is standing outside a house holding dynamite and the cops are about to engage him in a standoff, and one of the officers uses his radio and says, "dispatch, we have a 328! we need back-up!" (or something to that effect). was watching it with a bunch of drunk friends a few months ago, and that line just made us all howl with laughter. the notion that code 328 meant "vampire menacing civilian household with explosives" became a running joke among us. that said, have absolutely loved "monster squad" since i first watched it with all my friends at my 10th (or was it 9th?) birthday party and would kill to have a blu-ray dvd i could play on my newly purchased ps3.
gotham_knight by Paul Bucciarelli	Mar 22nd, 2008 07:36:22 PM
Dogma, about 30 other and a ton of commercials. If he never does another movie, Smith will be remembered for Clerks. What's your claim to fame fuckhead? Making sure that the Junior Mints are restocked for the 4:00 matinee?
Monsters HD by WALKNDED	Mar 22nd, 2008 08:51:55 PM
Shows NOTC Allthe time ..Looks Fantastic. But it has the crappy theatrical ending.They also show MS.
He also compared the Bev to the Drafthouse by BitterMan23	Mar 22nd, 2008 09:06:35 PM
"Except you can't drink" (which prompted some dude near the front to raise a beer he had smuggled in, so I guess you "can"). And agree on Julia the moderator/ticket seller/whatever else needs to be done girl, she knows her shit. Which is surprisingly rare in LA; most of the ushers at other theaters are complete dolts. New Bev rules. And Dekker was a great guest, honest and informative. Best 7 bucks I spent all week.
gotham_knight by Paul Bucciarelli	Mar 22nd, 2008 11:43:44 PM
So why avoid the question? What is your job? As to what Kevin eats. Why don't you ask him. Oh wait, I forgot. You don't work on movies. You just write tear apart other people's work with your snarky posts instead of actually writing a sellable screenplay. Y'know. Like Kevin Smith did.
by Paul Bucciarelli	Mar 22nd, 2008 11:53:41 PM
Oh dear. I made another typo in that last post. Please gotham_night. Please don't point out my errors again. That coupled with leobloom's withering gay jab would just about destroy me.
wait... by Varakor	Mar 23rd, 2008 12:50:00 AM
did anyone like Robocop 3? seriously? Show of hands? anyone? anyone?

does anyone know where I can get the Gymkata theme song as a ring tone? Da da da da ... da da da da!
Night of the Creeps is one of my favourite movies by CuervoJones	Mar 23rd, 2008 06:40:40 AM
And i´ve seen a lot of movies
Suits is suits by quantize	Mar 23rd, 2008 08:10:46 AM
it's simply delusional to pretend those 'jobs' get called anything other than that within the industry.
Yobo, gotham and now quantize by Paul Bucciarelli	Mar 23rd, 2008 08:50:09 AM
That's strange because I've never heard anybody that I've ever worked with refer to them as suits. A whole bunch of other less flattering names but never suits. As for their contributions, if you think that all they do is completely fuck up some artiste's vision with their money-grubbing ways, then again you have no idea of what you're talking about. Again, I ask you guys: What do you do for a living and how old are you? For the record, I don't know Kevin Smith. If you call being speaking directly to somebody once or twice and then never having another word of conversation with them ever again as "knowing them" then I guess that I know him.
"just spent the past few talk backs spamming titles." by DocPazuzu	Mar 23rd, 2008 08:59:48 AM
That's because you got your ass reamed by virtually everybody in the Arthur C. Clarke obit talkback, Knobbo. Spamming titles is about the right level for someone of your... talent.
DocP: a good read from Fred Dekker by SpencerTrilby	Mar 23rd, 2008 10:17:06 AM
http://tinyurl.com/2vazzw The guy sounds like a really decent guy indeed. I remember a Shane Black interview about 10 years ago where he praised Dekker for being a talented, down to earth dude who got really disgusted and lost his mojo due to the RoboCop 3 debacle. Sad. I mean, RoboCop 3 was a mess, but I re-watched it last month in a RoboCop marathon (while I was homesick - explains a lot) and it was not as terrible as I remembered (RoboCop 2 is also much better than some say IMHO). And the first one kicks so much ass that I can't wait for the Topkapi Affair to be a smash hit (hopefully) so Vehoeven is bankable again and is given the bidget he wanted to make a fourth installment a few years ago - Neumeier even wrote a treatment. THAT would be cool. Hear this, Sony? It's Verhoeven or bust!
No blu-ray purchase for me unless we get a Shane Black commentar by ODM	Mar 23rd, 2008 10:52:56 AM
Jesus, that would be so cool. Come on Shane, make it happen and give us some golden info nuggets!
I had fond memories of Monster Squad... by ZeroCorpse	Mar 23rd, 2008 11:48:41 AM
And then I re-watched it as an adult. Hoo-boy! That was a mistake! It's not very good! Sure, it was cool when I was young and naive, but now? Now it holds up terribly. It's silly and badly-scripted. It plays off like a "Goonies" wannabe that isn't anywhere near "Goonies" quality. I'm sad to say it, but "Monster Squad" is Not For Me anymore. Is it a decent kids' movie? Yes, as long as you're in a fairly liberal household and don't mind a few curse words and scares. Is it meant for adults? Nope. Not unless they're mentally disabled. I showed this DVD to another adult, telling them it was "a great movie", and as we sat through it, my sense of embarrassment grew. At the end of it, I had to apologize for subjecting them to "Monster Squad" because the reality sure as fuck didn't live up to the memory of this movie. So you'll forgive me if I don't have "Monster Squad" in my DVD library, but I do have "Dawn of the Dead (2004)" in my collection. I'm sorry, but the guy who made "Monster Squad" questioning the quality or right-to-exist of "Dawn of the Dead (2004)" is just downright ludicrous. One made a "Goonies" rip-off with Universal Monsters in it, and the other made a "Dawn of the Dead" remake with some interesting new twists on the genre, a lot of gore, and conversations that get above the level of "Wolfman has nards." I used to love (LOVE) "Monster Squad", and now I just sort of wish I could forget about it.
Night Of The Creeps by mr.brownstone	Mar 23rd, 2008 01:51:46 PM
on Blu-ray with seamless branching of theatrical and original ending? Dare to dream. I love this movie! If they are showing it in HD on TV there's an HD master out there which I never even thought would happen... so this is great news.
I liked RoboCop 3! by BiggusDickus	Mar 23rd, 2008 03:17:34 PM
No, wait a minute, I lied. I did think the thirty seconds or so with the two ninja droids was a bit of a hoot. I liked the 'frozen grin' after Murphy twatted on of them in the face. Sod all else to recommend the movie, though.
Night of the Creeps by Jawa 007	Mar 23rd, 2008 05:17:15 PM
One of the all time classics. Not enough can be said about how great that flick is - way ahead of its time.
NOTC was fun. Atkinson was awesome in it. What's the alternate e by Darth Bauer	Mar 23rd, 2008 06:21:32 PM
Give the info!
"Thrill me." by BlackBanana	Mar 23rd, 2008 06:26:03 PM
Would be fun to see 'Night Of The Creeps' on DVD. Definitely gotta have both endings though.
Yor references! Wow..... by Quake II	Mar 23rd, 2008 08:09:39 PM
I wasn't the only one watching that shitfest on HBO in the 80's. Sheena, For Your Eyes Only, Cannonball Run 2, Megaforce, SpaceHunter, Popeye and The Beastmaster got daily play on HBO as well.
awesome night by cahcat	Mar 24th, 2008 12:02:18 AM
the screening was an absolute blast! It THRILLED ME 100%!!
NIGHT OF THE CREEPS by Halloween68	Mar 24th, 2008 07:47:12 AM
Is one of the alltime classic 80s horror films, which deserves its own genre (80s horror films that is). This film needs to come out with both endings available on the DVD, along with every other special feature imaginable for making us wait this long. SONY can suck a cow nut for keeping all us fans from having it on DVD. I have to watch my old vhs copy or wait for it to come on tv to watch it these days. THAT'S NOT ENOUGH. It's Miller Time, and it's time to step up to the plate and give this classic the release it deserves!!! I've been tooting this horn for years. Amazon has a veritible talkback in it's feedback for vhs availability. Same for IMDB.
