Forbidden Planet, near Union Square. Not the greatest place for anime, but a must nevertheless.

NOTHING can beat the orginal Pla net in London UK that Forbiden Planet kicks ass!!

This is nothing new this is the same trailer that was premiered at Comic Con. But IT is cool isnt it ?

no, boycott this movie, only then will stephen sommers be forced to stop.

why?? I liked the Mummy Long live Steven Sommers

Well, the Bladerunner thread brought up another interesting movie of the early 80's called Flash Gordon, the wonderful cheesefest brought to you by those wacky dudes at Dino De Laurentiis. Flash Gordon was one of my favorite movies as a kid because of its campiness; I actually saw it at the theatre during its run. I was sorry to see that you could not get it as a DVD unless you paid extravagant amounts from someone who purchased its original run from Universal.

On to the point of this thread. Empire Movies has reported on August 5, 2004:

Stephen Sommers Lands 'Flash Gordon' Rights

August 5, 2004 08:14 EDT

"Van Helsing" writer-director Stephen Sommers and his producing partner Bob Ducsay have landed the rights to Flash Gordon, and will adapt a feature film based on the iconic comic book superhero for Universal.

Sommers is producing the Flash project with an eye toward scripting. He has yet to helm a project he hasn't scripted.

"Flash Gordon" dates back to 1934, when it was created by famed comic strip artist Alex Raymond, and for decades after appeared in movie serials, animated fare, TV shows and a 1980 Flash Gordon movie directed by Mike Hodges.

The deal also packs good news for classic comics fans, as the legendary intergalactic adventurer, his female companion Dale Arden and scientist Dr. Hans Zarkov will again appear in comic books. This time, the series will be distributed by the nation's third largest comic book company, Top Cow.

The 1980 "Flash Gordon" movie, produced by Dino De Laurentiis and starring Max von Sydow as Flash Gordon nemesis Ming the Merciless, was also released by Universal.

Well, considering how well his last movie did, I'm kind of worried. I did like The Mummy, but when I saw the crap that was Van Helsing, I did not know if I ever wanted to see another of his films. Well, how can you screw up a Flash Gordon movie? It was meant to be cheesy. I'm sure Sommers will find a way.

Christ, who will they get to play Princess Aura? I mean, Ornella Muti was very hot back then wearing that outfit of hers (see image), but she's a little too old to be playing her now.

Jesus I didnt realize the DVD was that expensive. I was in London last year and I got my hands on a Copy of Flash for region 2 DVD (All my DVD players are region free) so its cheap in the UK

at the current rate of exchange its only 10 bucks and change for Flash on DVD =)

impressive pics.

Most Impressive

Gi-Joe do you even have to ask =(

I'd personally like an adult version, (and no EXO I don't mean porn) where the clues just require some serious research.

why not have a porn version. which each clue carmen strips down.

Its been done already It was called Leaiser Suit Larry

Test

ME GRIMLOCK CRUSH ALL ROBOTECH FANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pretty funny poo

I didnt say poo I said SH!t

Who is Sentry?

That show was before Highlander TV series?  Or do you mean Post Highlander?

No way dude this was DEFFINATELY pre Highlander. I was still in High School when WOW was on Highlander was after I graduated in 95

Check TVtome.com

Yeah there was a early 90's TV Show on The Future UPN Network that was based on the 50's movie WOW. It was cool but the second Season sucked only saving grace on the second season was a pre Highlander Adrian Paul

Whoa!  Batman....is....smiling???  

its a smirk, not a smile....

Either way. Like Robin said in the "Knight Time" episode. "He's acting weird."

I loved that Episode:

"You mean Bruce is being controlled by Aliens!?!?! ewwwwwwwwwww "

"Im deeply offended by that remark"

LOL

I saw it yesterday before Work. You right Exo it wasnt bad at all not as good as Heat but still good. But then who could compare to Deniro and Pacino. I liked how Cruise's character seemed so well read. Knowledgeable.. Like when he posed as the Lawyer talking to Max's Boss. Its a shame that the LA Cop bit it =( I give it 8 outa 10 for Plot and 75% I think or more of this film was shot digitaly

Anyone check out the JLA "Wonder Woman" & "Flash" at the Mattel booth?

There was a MUCH Better Wonder Woman Walking around during the MAsqurade Ball Dance thingy her and her Male Friend were Cos Playing from the WW TV show of the 70's and they didnt know squat about the Books which was kinda refreshing.

Did any one mention DBZ Yet? When GOku "Died" to beat Cell.

(Not like any one REALLY dies in DBZ but it was still cool)

Or the Doulf Lundren Punisher flick.

Yeah, but that doesn't compare to Captain America (both the 1978 TV movie and 1992 film).

Awww... I like those films... especially the 1992 with the fake ears.

There was a pre-Linda Carter Wonder Woman... it was god awful...

Man I'm old!

Yes, Yes you are

The Kawamori designed Aibo, wasn't really limited...it just didn't sell as well as the others.  Most people felt it was too...robotic looking.  And they were $200 more than the 210's (like the one I bought). So now, since they have been discontinued, they are harder to find.  People who own the 220 say it isn't really "cold and robotic" like after all...

I still want the 220A  (The A models were known as the Supercore Models...had a faster CPU).

Yeah, the general public want more "cute" robots, so the cold-looking Kawamori one wasn't as popular.

I remember speaking to a few people around the time it came out when I was in Tokyo one of the comments I got was that "it looks like the Terminator's dog".

As for a name -- how about "`Pochi"? It's the Japanese equivalent of "Rover"

EDIT -- Oops, missed that last post. Congratulations! Happy birth/christening day TACO!

Pochi was a Girls Toon in the 80's about a lil PInk Dog that "Talked" and fought Crime. What about a Dr Who Refference K-9 it fits

Area I met a Guy at Comic Con on the shuttle Bus who says he works for Disney in the Live Action Dpt and knows all about PR SPD. Aparently Dauggie Kruger will be animatronic and not just a Guy in a Suit. and they also want to influence Sentai Shows in Japan. Kinda like what SD Gundam was. A Coperation between US adn the rising Sun.

Holy Cheesy Outfit Batman

To Quote Mr Horse.

No Sr I dont like it

Me and SolScud were trying out the Metroid Game for the NDS at E3 Damn that game is adictive
