I thought I felt a brief puff of warm air followed by the odour of fermented or digested elderberry.

Hey, each to their own.  LOTR holds a special place for me, I take it as it is.

Hey! You gotta stop making blasphemy a habit mate.  Comments like that are well out of step.

Sorry, I just watched Second Hand Lions and I can see it. Squeaky voice and all.

Nah, was a crack up.  I'm not bothered.

It's not about Sean Astin, he plays Samwise incredibly well.  Say what you will, I am always happy with Sean's Samwise.

what's that smell???

.....is it

....elderberries?

This gets my vote. Sam is who Sam is, wish I had a friend like him.

Re: BunsenLabs film thread

This taunting is rather brutal, the accent does nothing to soften the blow.

^ I am French-ah!

All of the Star Trek films are free on Pluto this month (with ads, a ton of them). Starting at the beginning, The Motion Picture.

Wait, what's filming V-ger destroying everything when they're all watching the Jumbotron? Shut up, hhh.

Re: BunsenLabs film thread

Well, I am disappointed that nobody has commented. The most boring, boringest SciFi film since 2001, it makes Blade Runner look like an action film. McCoy in a disco suit (appropriate, I thought, what with the Bee Gees discussion in another thread). My favorite quote from a review of the film when it came out, "Shatner has perhaps the least impressive movie physique since Rod Steiger." Bones has literally nothing to do but bitch and stand around, while Spock does everything. Checkov has the best line in the film... "Pho.. ton... torpe...does......... Away!"

Up next, Wrath of Khan, where we finally determine if Ricardo is wearing prosthetics for his chest.

Star Trek (original) movies II and IV are really good and the best of all of them... IMO... Kind of like the Led Zeppelin albums, oddly enough...

Re: BunsenLabs film thread

Voyage home has Katherine Hicks, Motion Picture has child molester Stephen Collins, both starred in Seventh Heaven.

I don't know what that means.

Last night I watched:  28 Years Later: The Bone Temple

The rage virus makes the Walking Dead look like kids stuff.
Yes, I've seen them all.

Re: BunsenLabs film thread

This weekend I watched Wargames (released 1983) which I had never seen. Surprisingly it's aged quite well, and is almost becoming more relevant actually!

Re: BunsenLabs film thread

@Sector, been meaning to watch that.

@Jimbo, enjoyed watching that and Starman (Jeff Bridges, Karen Allen, dir. by John Carpenter) recently as well. YouTube has some good old Sci-Fi on this month. A few of my picks...

Stargate (1994)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsuY5dYxOCs

Stephen Kings's The Dead Zone (1983, Christopher Walken, I haven't watched this yet)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMK_FvpsreY

Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978, Donald Sutherland and some other greats)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Uv4-iJqLxQ

War of the Worlds (1953, still awesome)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ow1jE09IV3c

Under Action & Adventure, Robocop (1987)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nquIi7xyvk

Under Animation, The Iron Giant (1999)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLbS3KJI0lE

That's about 10 hours of solid film-making.

With Catherine Zeta Jones, no less (shake your castanets). Great film.
