I didn't even know this new film had anything to do with Invasion of the Body Snatchers. I knew there was talk of yet another remake, but this new take seems much more of a sci-fi action flick than the '56 or '78 versions (I haven't seen the 1993 one). How about the upcoming remake of The Day...

Will Ferrell as Larry, and Adam Sandler as Balki!

Boy Scoutz has lots of great quotes: Marge: Homer, I have to go out and pick up something for dinner. Homer: Steak? Marge: Money's too tight for steak. Homer: Steak? Marge: Er...sure...steak... ----------------------------- Homer: So how was jerk practice, boy? Did they...

"Walk on the Wild Side" - Lou Reed

"Venus in Furs" is my fave Velvet Underground song, too! It's so hypnotically groovy!;)

Okay Snowth, I did a little checking, and ya know what? It seems the standard DVD release of Dragnet is in 1.78:1 for some reason, but the version included in the three-film "Tom Hanks Comedy Collection" box set is in 1.85:1. At least according to the packaging. Weird. BTW, does Granny...

Pretty much any movie shot in widescreen looks horrible cropped and pan & scanned on TV. As Dr. Tooth mentioned, Ghostbusters is an absolute mess. Just take a look at the elevator scene with Murray, Aykroyd and Ramis in widescreen. They're all in the shot. Then look at it in fullscreen...

If you want to learn more about Bob Crane, check out the film Auto Focus (2002). It stars Greg Kinnear as Crane, who does an excellent job in the role. Although Kinnear may not look very much like Crane, he has that same "everyman" quality. The film chronicals his life from when he was a...

Happy 5th, Kim!:)

Yup!:)

The OAR of Dragnet is 1.85:1, which is the standard for most theatrical movies, long before 2000. Even though it's not 2.40, 1.85:1 is still considered widescreen. There's already a thread around here explaining various film ratios. Personally, I prefer widescreen over pan & scan. The...

In this case, it would probably be paying the estate of Jack Finney, who wrote the original novel The Body Snatchers on which the movies were based.

All of the Invasion movies come from the same source material. A 1955 novel called The Body Snatchers, by Jack Finney. Invasion of the Body Snatchers - 1956 (Allied Artists) Invasion of the Body Snatchers - 1978 (United Artists) Body Snatchers - 1993 (Warner Bros.) The Invasion - 2007...

I used to watch American Movie Classics all the time...when they showed actual classic movies, uncut, commercial free and in widescreen. These days? No more classic movies, unless you consider stuff like Alien vs. Predator, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind and Nell classics. Plus, you have...

Hazy, hot & humid.
