DANNY MCBRIDE... by Banzai Rootskibango	Aug 14th, 2008 01:06:44 PM
...what's the big deal? I just don't get it.
Still don't know... by My friends call me Killjoy	Aug 14th, 2008 01:10:06 PM
I think this is going to be one of those Love-Hate movies.
Capone has "a couple more" for my ass? by gruntybear	Aug 14th, 2008 01:10:11 PM
Um, that's hot. I think.
Danny McBride was Hilarious... by Jack Shepherd	Aug 14th, 2008 01:13:32 PM
...in All the Real Girls...about 100 fucking years ago.
Land of the Lost? by Mr Slippy Fist	Aug 14th, 2008 01:20:39 PM
Land of the Suck would be a better suited title. Will Ferrell is boring and sucks major ass. Seriously, has this guy even attempted to play a different character in any of his movies?
Take a beloved TV show, a decent director by skimn	Aug 14th, 2008 01:38:46 PM
and add Will Farrell..why does this smell like Bewitched?
I think this will be really funny... by The Eskimo	Aug 14th, 2008 01:39:50 PM
...it's one of those movies we all kind of remember from our childhood but it didn't re-run in later years too much (like saved by the bell r fresh prince) so it'll be cool to relive that. Also, I think this is perfectly suited for Ferrell, unlike, say, a white basketball player. Now that was a shitty movie...
What happened to the Busted Tees ladies? by mrfan	Aug 14th, 2008 01:42:12 PM
Especially my redhead.
I never watched the original by skimn	Aug 14th, 2008 01:45:32 PM
so I don't know if it was campy or serious or what, but this sounds like a property that has to have just the right tone, or it will fail miserably..(see above).
Hope they at least keep the same theme song. by mrfan	Aug 14th, 2008 01:49:57 PM

the death of Ms Schaeffer by ArcadianDS	Aug 14th, 2008 01:52:02 PM
That was the first recollection I have of a 'national drama unfolding' that seems to have become so common-place with the advent of CNN and Fox News, where the murder mysteries of any given random people becomes media headlines. I was a big fan of the show, and would consider her one of my first teen 'crushes.' Such as sad and tragic loss. I remember vividly the post event interview with Pam Dawber just sobbing inconsolably over the death of her co-star and friend. Rather than a work of fiction whose only ties to the reality of this event is that a woman is murdered, a movie on this would be nice - but would probably end up on Hallmark or Oxygen.
I hope the dinosaurs are claymation by SkeletonParty	Aug 14th, 2008 01:55:27 PM
And Marshal, Will and Holly notice they are claymation. Marshal: "Does that Pteradactadon look like playdoh to you? Seriously." Will: "Yeah, sort of smeary and it moves without motion blur. Strange" Holly: "Listen guys, I think it is eating me, but its teeth sort of moosh around so I can't tell."
Does anyone think its more than a little racists... by rbatty024	Aug 14th, 2008 02:03:01 PM
that an ape like character was named after an African king? Were the creators of this show followers of eugenics or something? Someone had to notice this back then.
Rbatty024... by Banzai Rootskibango	Aug 14th, 2008 02:05:23 PM
...only people who associate apes with black people would make that connection...I didn't.
No, no, he was obviously named after the soul singer... by MCVamp	Aug 14th, 2008 02:07:50 PM
Cha-Ka scared! My cousin went to college with Cha-Ka. just thought I'd throw that out there.
rbatty is a full-on retard and here's why by ArcadianDS	Aug 14th, 2008 02:17:45 PM
The african warlord he mistakenly refers to as a king was named Shaka Zulu, whereas the prehistorica ape-boy in Land of the Lost was named Cha-Ka. See? Full on, I tell ya. Full on.
Can someone ask Sid and Marty what they are smoking? by Knobules	Aug 14th, 2008 02:32:10 PM
In the 70's. I mean really, HR Puff N Stuff? That did not come out of a sober mind. Nothing wrong with that. Just sayin.
David Fincher's Lidsville by Samuel Fulmer	Aug 14th, 2008 02:34:38 PM
It's gotta happen.
Onward to Sigmund 2K9 by fireclown	Aug 14th, 2008 02:48:33 PM
Oh dear lord. It's getting silly.
Still think this will suck big time by TVguy4566	Aug 14th, 2008 02:57:25 PM
Either play it straight or play it for 70s kitsch, but don't Will Ferrel PG-ize it. This movie has "Kicking & Scream" meets "Jurrasic Park" written all over it. Ferrell is very hit or miss to begin with, but his non-R rated movies are mostly misses (Kicking & Screaming, Bewitched, Blades of Glory, The Producers).
i thought this would be a real shot in the arm by HypeEndsHere	Aug 14th, 2008 03:00:22 PM
but if anything, i've REALLY lost confidence after reading this.
Arcadian, please do a little more research. by rbatty024	Aug 14th, 2008 03:16:43 PM
As anyone who has even given a cursory look at non-Western languages realizes, many sounds do not fit nicely into our alphabet. The name of Shaka has also been spelled Tshaka, Tchaka, and, of course, Chaka. Furthermore, Shaka is most definitely a king, not a warlord. He managed to take control of a sizable portion of what is now South Africa and implemented policies that expunged local traditions in favor of Zulu culture. All modern scholarship refers to Shaka as a king. If you don't think Land of the Lost is racist, or at least that the creators should have stopped and given a little thought before naming one of their characters, then that's fine. All you have to do is say so. However, if you're going to attack me for perceived inaccuracies, then at least get your facts straight.
>. by -Halfscan-	Aug 14th, 2008 03:20:56 PM
This sounds absolutely dreadful. Grew up on the series in the 70's and loved the Hell out of it... turning it into a comedy (and a Will Ferrell vehicle, ffs ) just fills me with unimaginable nerd-rage
Wa the redheaded kid from Sigmund the sea monster by half vader	Aug 14th, 2008 03:22:42 PM
the same kid from Family Affair? Johnny something?
Why is no one talking about the Riddler teaser poster? by Pixelsmack	Aug 14th, 2008 03:34:51 PM
It's all over the damn net now. "The Dark Knight Returns, 2011"
Here's the poster.... by Pixelsmack	Aug 14th, 2008 03:39:03 PM

Because the poster is fake. by blackmantis	Aug 14th, 2008 03:57:09 PM

I really like Lemony Snicket. by Dingbatty	Aug 14th, 2008 04:46:55 PM
It's hardly overblown -- the problem is, the original books are lightweight, probably, given the age range they are geared toward. Now, Land of the Lost, shouldn't have been a comedy.
You lost me ... by Lou C.	Aug 14th, 2008 04:51:16 PM
... with "City of Angels" isn't THAT bad. ... yes, yes it is.
Cha-Ka by millermeusa	Aug 14th, 2008 05:17:23 PM
I wonder if the kid that plays Cha-ka will be so deep into character that he will be found dead before the movie premiere and Dakota Fanning will be brought in for questioning
LOL @ Pixelsmack. by Irina Spanko	Aug 14th, 2008 06:59:28 PM
You haven't been around the movie news scene very long, have you?
SPACE NUTS by Hikaru Ichijo	Aug 14th, 2008 09:14:27 PM
Docter Shrinker! Bugaloos! Lidsville!
Land of the Lost was fairly sophistacated..... by rben	Aug 14th, 2008 09:28:13 PM
re: dimensional doorways, flatland vs. 3 dimensional universes, which isn't surprising since you had writers like david gerrold, larry niven (yup, THAT Larry Niven), d.c. fontana, etc. writing it so it like the ST cartoon did not talk down to kids...this movie on the other hand....hey, continue the rape of my childhood, i can't take it. (bitches.) personally, i think it's time to dust off ellison's scripts for I, Robot and The Starlost and make them into movies because no one seems to be able to write fantastic films anymore, the rare notable exception this summer being The Dark Knight...
oops, meant to say "I can take it"... by rben	Aug 14th, 2008 09:30:11 PM
the mind thinks fast, the hand doesn't think.
Why don't they actually adapt the show instead of just character by SnapT	Aug 14th, 2008 10:53:45 PM
That's lame. Probably not as lame as the BEWITCHED movie's meta-crap, but still lame.
Yeah it does look great, but riddle me this by half vader	Aug 15th, 2008 01:18:15 AM
why would the scribble be exactly the same as the Joker/"defaced" posters for DK? Is the Joker supposed to be doing this? Or the riddler? (or for that matter John Doe or the Zodiac)?
