| 33493 | Last video game you played | uncharted 4, i'm just about finished with it. | Benjanime | Jan 30, 2017 | |
| 33492 | Last video game you played | Fallout 4. I think this is much improved over 3 (never played New Vegas). However, they seriously need to switch to a different game engine next time around. Also, stop allowing characters to carry more weight then they are allowed! | Rick Ace Rhodes | Jan 30, 2017 | |

Ron took the role of "Hellboy" and made the character his own. I can't imagine any other actor in that role. </div> | eddstarr | Jan 30, 2017 | |

YES! YES!</div><div style="font-weight: normal;"><br></div><div><b>MM</b>, this is the movie I spent the weekend watching, over and over. "<b>Swiss Family Robinson</b>" may have been one of the greatest entertainment events of the 1960's.</div><div><br></div><div>Breathtaking scenery, awesome musical score and brilliant actors - what's not to love?</div><div><br></div><div>"Swiss Family Robinson" influenced a generation of people in television and movies. Look close and you can see elements of many later films, inspired by Disney. I see bits of "Star Wars" on many scenes. There's a little touch of, "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" and I even see some "Indiana Jones" peaking through.</div><div><br></div><div>Both Steven Spielberg and George Lucas have mentioned SFR as capturing their imaginations. Irwin Allen was originally going to call "Lost in Space" by it's working title, "Space Family Robinson". </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Now let me change the channel.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>You can't do the 1960's without "Batman" . . . or "<b>The Invaders</b>" <img src="http://www.retro-daze.org/images/smilies/MavLaughOutLoud.gif" style="font-size: 10pt;"></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Remember, both of these shows aired on ABC, the network determined to attract young viewrs with some of the most unusual shows on television.</div><div><br></div><div>Quinn Martin Productions was famous for making hard-nosed private detective series and police dramas. ABC hoped that QM Productions would add a touch of seriousness to the subject of alien invasion.</div><div><br></div><div>In the best QM Production tradition, "The Invaders", (like Star Trek), became a showcase for some of the best character actors of the decade. Only top talent appeared on Quinn's projects. Some guest stars were so popular you wonder why they never starred in their own series?</div><div><br></div> <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/HEUdsXmCE7g" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe> | eddstarr | Jan 30, 2017 | |

Cleaning up wrestling to make it "family friendly" has killed the '80's/'90's edginess that made WWF so much fun to watch. "Wrestling for Kids" can be handled as a separate product, if done so skillfully.</span></div> | eddstarr | Jan 30, 2017 | |
| 33486 | Last Movie You Watched | <span style="font-weight: normal;">You guys have been hoggin' this thread for too long. Amazon keeps bugging me to do more with my Prime membership. So I watched "</span><b>Hellboy</b>". A well executed film, with a few gratuitous CGI scenes. I had to see John Hurt again as Hellboy's "dad". What a brave death scene, really effectively underplayed.<div style="font-weight: normal;"><br></div><div style="font-weight: normal;">Give it 4 out of 5 stars.</div> | eddstarr | Jan 30, 2017 | |
