Umm.. Same cast? That's called a sequel.

I just can't get past the awful CGI and humanoid faces.

I can't see the youtube clip. There is a space where it should be, but I can't click on it. Same thing when I try and post them now?

[dodint]

Works for me.

I still don't understand why he decided to make that movie around the same time as the Disney Jungle book. I thought I read something saying, this was going to be darker, but I thought the Disney movie was pretty dark, especially the last battle. I liked the other ones and am glad this is coming to Netflix.

[eddy]

anyone see Sorry to Bother You or Blackkklansman?

[Dickie Dunn]

I was not aware that WB had sold the film rights to Netflix. That doesn't bode well for the movie.

1998 was the first year I noticed that. Deep Impact and Armageddon and A Bug’s Life and Antz.

A year or so before the killer death asteroid movies there was Volcano and Dante's Peak.

Volcano has a soft spot in my heart, because it was shot in what was my old neighborhood... the Tar Pits are across the street from where I worked, and they stopped the lava flow pretty much at the end of the block where my apartment was.

I love Volcano. It's so ridiculous and fun. When I moved to LA, the Tar Pits were one of the first touristy places I wanted to go simply because of Volcano and Last Action Hero.

Agreed.

I remember liking Volcano a lot and was thinking James Bond and Sarah Conner were in it, but that's not the case and now I don't know what I was thinking of...

[eddy]

oh

Dante's Peak

[NTP66]

I also enjoyed Dante's Peak.

[shafnutz05]

I just can't get past the awful CGI and humanoid faces.

The shot of Baloo (I think it's Baloo?) laughing...yikes. I'll stick with the original. Louis Prima's version of "I Wanna Be Like You" is still one of my all-time favorite Disney songs (or songs from any movie, really).

The Christopher Walken version in the new one is one of the weirdest things ever

[tifosi77]

I liked Dante's Peak better than Volcano.

CLOUD. PYROCLASTIC CLOUD.

Has anyone seen the new Robin Hood? If so, was it any good?

Jay and Silent Bob Get a Reboot production to start in February in New Orleans

“We’re doing a sequel to Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back,” Smith told fans on an episode of his podcast Fat Man on Batman. “If you remember Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back it was a movie in which Jay and Silent Bob found out Hollywood was making a movie about them, so they went cross country to Hollywood to stop that from happening. Jay and Silent Bob Reboot is completely **** different.” The filmmaker, who has created a media empire out of his cult following, says the new movie centers around the titular characters trying to stop Hollywood from making a reboot of the 2001 comedy. “It’s literally the same **** movie all over again. It’s a movie that makes fun of sequels and remakes and reboots while being all three at the same time.”

Meh

[dodint]

If it has Will Ferrell again it's going to be a hard no.
