That sure was weird... it's like watching the NeverEnding Story, but without the story.

Unfortunately a lead actor of Fanfare, Ton Lutz, just passed away. He was 89.

I really enjoyed watching this!
Bought it at the freemarket on April 30th, for merely 20 cents. Unfortunately, as I don't often find this movie, I failed to check why. The day after,
when I wanted to watch it, I discovered the tape had melted or something. The cartridge and the wheels that hold the tape were pretty mangled, but the
tape itself seemed in good condition. So I wrecked open the old cartridge and took out the tapes, and after an afternoon of trying, we decided it
would be best if we just stuck it on using tape.
When I was away one day, Dad did that for me. And I just watched it. It's great! Nice dialog! Great to know that Disney was able of making historic
films, put an element of comedy into it without making anachronistic jokes.

I've never seen that one. It's a 'remake' of an early '70's film with a bunch of those '60's-'70's actors. There was a 3and a 4 musketeers.
I remember loving it as a kid.
I'd love to watch this with all the contemporary actors.
thanx fer the headsup

I'm not too sure about the casting of Chris O'Donnell as D'Artagnan (2nd from the left), he's a bit boy-ish and appears very fragile and sweet, much
like Elijah Wood as Frodo. Fortunately all the actors were doing a very good job.

No, that was Sean Astin. Sean doesn't nearly look as handsome.

can't say I really follow 'em.
The older movies had Jayne Kennedy and Raquel Welch and others of that time.
I guess I could look 'em up.
The swordfighting fast-paced motion of the story is what I remember.
Of course there are probably older movies around these stories. Erroll Flynn or the Barrymores.
Pretty common response I guess to like swordfighting as a kid and see it nostalgically as an adult.

Last weekend Mrs Flycoon and I watched "It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World." Just about everyone in Hollywood was in this movie. It's a lot of fun.
Also I found some nice silent movies on DVD: got a few Chaplin gems ("City Lights," "Modern Times" and "The Great Dictator"); "The General" starring
Buster Keaton; "Safety Last" starring Harold Lloyd; and Fritz Lang's "Metropolis."
That should keep us busy for a while...

Just watched Charlie's Angels. It was a lot better than I expected! Though Diaz was kinda annoying.

Today I watched Oklahoma! Very nice musical movie!
I got interested in it through Gabriel Knight 3: there's a bit of an easter egg where, if you try hard enough, you can get your character to sing. And
if he does, he sings something from Oklahoma! Was great to hear that song in full orchestra. And it was great to find the Simpsons sorta
covered one other song from it: The Farmer And The Cowman.
Not to mention the dream scene which becomes very Dali...

This one also came into my attention zone through GK3:
It's absolutely brilliant!

Got to scratch off another title of my TC-list: Hunt For Red October. Quite a good film, though I speak a little Russian and was annoyed by some of
the pronunciation.

didn't like it so much
knew people at the time on a submarine.
Glad there was a real life modern sub movie out in the world,
not happy with the plot as it follows all the rest of the propaganda I grew up with
in the bad old cold war world 
glad you liked it!
I've been told again and again that Das Boot is so much better
but I don't think I ever saw that one sober.

Brilliant. The first movie i've seen that is an authentic thriller/drama and an authentic comedy at the same time, if that makes sense.

Got 2 vids to add to my Curry-addiction. One of them is Congo, for which he was nominated for a Razzie. The other is: 
Barbie: The Nutcracker
Don't shoot me.

Yeah! He got a Razzie nomination for it... from what I've heard of it I think I'll prefer Barbie in The Nutcracker.
...which I just watched. You know those movies, that go on for twenty minutes after the story is over? Well that's one of them. The plot twist was
bizarre in a bad way. The backgrounds are, without exception, hideous. I was pleasantly surprised by three things though:
-entertaining badguy dialog
-excellent animation of human characters. Probably rotoscoped, but all movements look incredibly lifelike
-seeing something Nutcracker and Barbie related WITHOUT that infernal Dance of the Mirlitons.
