Paul Verhoeven loved the Total Recall remake. Wait, I got that wrong. I meant to say "Paul Verhoeven loved watching the Total Recall remake fail."
Finally got around to watching Antichrist. Absolutely disturbing, but one of the most beautifully shot movies I've ever seen. [NSFW]

DOCTOR WHO S7 E10 Promo; "The Crimson Horror"

Posted: 27 Apr 2013 11:21 AM PDT

There's something very odd about Mrs Gillyflower's Sweetville mill, with its perfectly clean streets and beautiful people. There's something even stranger about the bodies washing up in the river, all bright red and waxy. When the Doctor and Clara go missing, it's up to Vastra, Jenny and Strax to rescue them before they too fall victim to the Crimson Horror!

Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (2007)-- Why did this movie get a lot of acclaim?

Posted: 27 Apr 2013 10:06 AM PDT

I thought it was an okay film, nothing great, but when I looked it up, it's considered very influential and one of the year's best. What did you think?

Ironman 3 question (spoilers, do not read if you haven't seen the film)

So. At the end of Ironman 3 tony has his arc reactor removed along with the shrapnel.

I'm wondering, why ? Why did he not do this sooner. Was it to do with the acceptance that he was iron man with or without the armour ?

Ron Ely Talks Tarzan and Doc Savage: The Man of Bronze

Posted: 27 Apr 2013 10:10 AM PDT

Tarzan is now available on Warner Archive Instant

In the late 1960s and early 70s, few actors stood as tall in their heroic roles as Ron Ely. From television's Tarzan to the big Doc Savage: The Man of Bronze, Ron Ely's 6-foot-4-inch muscular frame made the scenery cower when he stepped before a camera.

The 74-year-old actor stands just as tall today, commanding audiences with his tales of those golden days of pulp fiction on film. Warner Archive Collection has brought Ron Ely's best-loved roles back into the spotlight, making the classic titles available on DVD and through its new live-streaming service, Warner Archive Instant (clickHere).

Premiering on NBC in 1966, Edgar Rice Burroughs' immortal creation, Tarzan, took to the nation's TV screens for the first time. Still in the capable hands of producer Sy Weintraub, the TV Tarzan (the aforementioned Mr. Ron Ely) continued the more recent (and more authentic) interpretation of Lord Greystoke as a sophisticated, articulate jungle adventurer as seen in the Tarzan films. Also carried over from the big screen was young actor Manuel Padilla Jr. now playing the jungle lord's kid sidekick alongside Cheetah, the simian one.

Based on the first of Kenneth Robeson's 181 adventure packed books, Doc Savage: The Man of Bronze hit the screen with all its gee-whiz, gung-ho spirit intact. And its bold protagonist, who along with having a herculean body is also a surgeon, linguist and inventor, remains determined to do right to all and wrong to no one. Ron Ely plays the strapping Savage in this high-camp, big-heroics tale of his trek into the Valley of the Vanished to confront the power-hungry Captain Seas.

Once reluctant to embrace his cult hero status, Ron Ely has joined Warner Archive Collection at two major events over the past six months - at the Paley Center for Media in Los Angeles, and WonderCon in Anaheim - to celebrate those cherished productions of 40-plus years ago. He took some time in conjunction to answer a few questions. Heed the words of Tarzan!

What are your impressions of pulp heroes?

Ron Ely: When I was a kid, we had radio, we had Saturday morning serials, and we had comic books. It wasn't like today - we had a limited array of things, but those things especially appealed to kids. I loved comic books, and I read a lot of them. Archie, Superman, Captain Marvel - those types. Part and parcel of being a kid back then was to latch onto larger than life heroes. It wasn't until we became adults that our hero image became more adult and humanized with flaws. Back then, they had no flaws - our heroes were the biggest, the baddest, and the most honorable. All those principles set in motion everything that followed suit for me. Doc Savage was one of the most successful series of books - the character was one of the triumvirate of great action heroes, along with Tarzan and Superman. Those three really set the standard for pulp heroes. It's interesting that Warner Archive has all three of them - they're like a superhero factory. I can't think of anybody that can compare.

As a kid, who were your heroes?

Ron Ely: I grew up in Amarillo, Texas, so my heroes were cut from the same cloth that I saw all around me. Cowboys like John Wayne and Robert Mitchum. One of the joys of getting into this business was that I actually got to know some of my heroes. Those western, heroic characters occupied my interests in film more than any others. I loved the comic book and pulp heroes, but for me, you couldn't beat John Wayne.

What does it mean to you to be a hero?

Ron Ely: It's sort of a funny thing being called a hero, because it's not something I wanted to do. But it just kept coming for me. I don't really understand why, but I appreciate it because I think it might have grown out of my sticking to the solid, basic principles I learned growing up. Those important characteristics tend to exist more in the superhero characters than other flawed adult characters. I always enjoyed playing the flawless characters because, whereas some folks find them corny, I appreciate the morals, the lessons, and all those things that superheroes are designed to be and represent.

What has prompted you to come out of your shell a bit and embrace the fans and the fan conventions?

Ron Ely: I used to hate being around the fans - I avoided it like the plague. I enjoyed the anonymity. That's why I pretty well dropped off the face of the Earth for quite a long time. But getting back out into the public again has been one of the most rewarding experiences that I can imagine. Those fans are diehard. They hang on, they don't let go. They believe in Doc and Tarzan - they believe in them in a way that makes you want to know more about them. It was surprising to me to find out the fans are still there, to discover the fan base is so enormous. It surprised to see younger people in that mix who weren't around when I made Tarzan. It's a kick for me. I enjoy seeing those people and hearing what they have to say. They embrace these characters for the right reasons. It's not a character like in Die Hard - characters like Doc Savage, Tarzan and Superman are more pure superheroes. There's a special group of characters, and a special group of people that remain true to those characters as fans.
