forget the life jackets and the fact that the depth is only three feet, this is the fifties! water skiing acrobatics, no wonder these people are all dead now. I really have no idea. where you would ever see this movie, but trust me as a person who has water skied before this is not how you do unless you want to be killed. pulling 12 kids behind a boat with no life jackets is frankly just stupid. however, I would like to know where they got their ostrich suits

I guess its a good idea to put peewee in the middle of a bunch of circus people, but the idea of whole love thing is just kinda weird. I mean if the charactor peewee isn't weird enough the fact that 2 women could fall in love with him, I mean its just all so creepy. there alwas seems to be something really dark going on in this movie. I really don't know what. mabe I would have prefered peewee to stay a sexless man child weirdo with a cool house. by the way this is NOT a sequal to peewees big adventure, a great movie!

Rather than go to the unnecessary trouble and expense of hiring actors nd shooting lots of new footage to make his film, producer Al Zimbalist cast Denny Miller , a UCLA basketball star with no acting experience, as Tarzan....then,larded the film with as much stock jungle footage from the 1950 film "king solomans mines" as he could. And when that ran out, he used footage from the original 1932 classic "tarzan the ape man" starring Johnny Weissmuller.

of course there was the small problem that Zimbalist's film was filmed in color and weissmullers was in black and white...but zimbaslist got around that by having the black and white footage tinted to make it appear as if it had been filmed in Technicolor, like the rest of the movie. but it didn't. it didn't even look like denny miller. in one scene you can actually see johnny weissmullers face clearly as he fights a crocodile.

What little footage zimbalist did bother to flm was awful.in one important action sequence, real footage of an animal trainer dressed as Tarzan wrestling with a live leapard was combined with shots of miller wrestling with a large stuffed animal complete with close ups of its face, plastic fangs, button eyes and all!

bad bad bad bad bad

this is the story of a bunch of second rate super heros trying to find their niche in a world of second rate super heros. where have we heard this formula before? how about THE TICK! one big difference, THE TICK FORMULA WORKED!!!! when will movie makers learn that you can't throw money, loads of celebrities, and music video directors at a horrible script and think its going to work??? how many more times must we suffer!?!?!? aside from a few silly site gags, and seeing henry h macy act in something he looks embaresed to be a part of (and rightly so) try to avoid this movie at all costs. its hazardous to your health

this was one of the great shows from Nickelodeons past. It featured a house band, celebrity interviews, science experiments, segments were the cast takes things apart, even cooking segments. The idea of the show was all in the title, quite sitting in front of the TV and go do stuff. great show, nickelodeon should cut out all the stupid cartoons and start showing this show, "hey dude" "you can't do that on television" "out of control" "turkey tv" "todays special" and if they gotta show cartoon show good ones like "count duckula" "danger mouse" and "ren and stimpy". It would be in nickelodeons best interest to make a classics channel to show all this stuff that old kids like me would love.

God, you know your old when you remember when new episodes of this show were still being made. The premise was basically sketch comedy. Kind of like, a kids Saturday night live, yet in a more warped style. featuring sketches of kids throwing up after eating tanted burgers, kids standing in front of the firing squad, or kids riding on a school bus driven by a semi blind bus driver. besides the sketches, this show also had commentary by kids, and a few episodes had interviews with kids on the streets. You Can't Do That On Television" also spawned a ton of catch phrases like " Lisa, Don't encourage your father!" or " What do you thinks in the burgers?" even "READY! AIIIIIIMMM.." not to mention dropping water on kids that say "water" and slime on kids that say "I don't know" (now a trademark of Nickelodeon) in my opinion this is one of the best shows Nickelodeon ever did. Its really a crime that it isn't still on the air.

this is a short claymation movie from the makers of "wallace and Gromit" shorts and the full length major motion picture "chicken run." To the uninformed, this is a collection of brief interviews with zoo animals about their daily habits, and religion, feed habits, etc. but, what is really going on here is even better. The makers of this movie went to nursing homes and recorded interviews with the residents, Then animated animals for the voices. So, really when you watch this you are listening to the views of elderly people as animals. I personally find this to be a very interesting idea. 10 all the way

This movie has a very simple basic story. In a little warped town, known as Halloween town, lives Jack Skelington. Jack, aka the Pumpkin King, grows tired and bored of his role in the world, organizing Halloween each year. So, he goes in search of something new and different to do to end his slump. He discovers Christmas town, and decides he wants to do that instead. From the start, its pretty obvious that the citizens or Halloween town can't do Christmas and begin warping and dementing it totally out of recognition. there is also a sub plot about a patchwork girl who is also trying to escape her role in the world. She is falls in love with Jack from a far. Anymore and I would spoil it.

The plot, simple fairy tale, a bit of human quality ie trying to escape the boring blue collar life. but, really the plot has very little to do with what makes this movie special. This is the very first movie to consist completely of stop motion. Probubly the most grueling film technique ever, stop motion requires small figures that are postioned then photographed then repositioned and rephotograped over and over. This process is takes hours to create even a minute of footage. So, that exsplains alot about why each shot is so well crafted, since they spent weeks puting them together. This technique makes it very original, and very unique In a time when most movies were trying new computer animation and looking for a more realistic look. the filmmakers choice to go back to the herky jerky look of stop motion, was a bold and very different idea.

Some of the things you will notice is there aren't really that many charactors. halloween town really has only about 10 or 15 residents, probably because the cost of creating hundreds of little firgures for every expression and movement they have. Jack alone probably had over 600 heads, for all the movements of his face. but, even with limitations like these, the movie succeeds in just about everything I think it set out to do. Its creepy and weird, scary and warped, yet has a kind of strange nice feeling. You have empathy for the charactors, even though they are dark and crazy. And if for no other reason, watch this movie for the cinematography. The sets are wonderful, the characters are cool looking, the music is great, and every shot is masterful. I find it easy just to forget the story and watch the pretty pictures.

Is it a halloween spooky movie, or a warm christmas classic? who cares, its cool to watch!

Coming from Tim Burton, you know that the story won't be something you see everyday. although, it will have elements of classic storys and classic dilemmas, but with that creative Burton twist.

A very very ordinary classic 50's style American town sits at the bottom of a huge dark mountain with a scary castle on top. An Avon door to door sales women, discouraged by the fact that everyone in the town knows her and has already bought their supply of makeup, decides to travel up the mountain to try her luck there. She walks right in to the castle and finds Edward there all alone. She sees that Edward has no hands, but instead huge scissors and knives. She assumes he is helpless, and takes him home. The whole town begins to buzz about the irregular visitor. Edward lives with the sales women, and begins to show unusual artistic talents for things like sculpting bushes and cutting hair. unfortunately, Edwards nieve nature is taken advantage of and the town almost immediately all turns against him. To avoid spoiling the movie, I insist you see this movie to learn the rest of the story.

I really don't think this movie is as much about Scissors or even Edward, but more about the little town, and their reaction to him. Its easy to say this is just a warped Pinnochio but instead of a little puppets who wants to be a boy, its a guy that wants hands. but, I think there is more going on here. Edwards Scissorhand's are clearly a sort of prison, but they also allow him to express himself, and really his only way to communicate. I think I watched this movie once and counted him as only haveing about 30 lines in the whole movie. For a main character, he is practically Helen Keller. I think that it could be more that he doesn't want hands as much as everyone thinks he should so he can be like them. Possibly, I think this movie is more about society. They go to great pains to show the ordinary, american dream suburb where everyones house is the same, everyone has the same dreams and hopes, Everyone goes to work at the same time, SAME SAME SAME SAME SAME. One example is what I like to call "the car ballet", where all the cars pull out of the garage at the same time and drive off. Pure symbolism. They are crying out for something new and different but, are also frightened by it. Just like a school of little scared fish, that change directions in quick motions, with no real good reason. One of my favorite examples in the movie is where a man with a prosthetic leg tells Edward to never let anyone tell him he's handicapped, later he calls Edward a cripple.

Is this really about Edward wanting so badly to be like these people, or these people wanting so badly to be like Edward? Or is it simply about the worlds rejection of creativity, and diversity? Truly, these plain, boring, "ordinary," people are just as weird if not more so than Edward. I really think this story is about how the world is full of these people that have no real solo thoughts, and condemn anything different. The crumbling of human society through the effects of purity and perfection. A sad commentary on the current human condition, or lack there of. Love thy common man? only if he is just like you.

Does Edward want to be "a real boy"? I think he probubly already is more than anyone else in the movie.

WOW this is a really cool video. Its like Björk went to ren and stimpys for the weekend to hang out and rip the arms and legs off a guy, and take a bath and stuff. Definetley, 3 of the best minutes you will spend for a good long while. basically, any Björk video is great, and anything John Kricfalusi does is great. its like gummy coke, you can't make a better combination!

I think I was like 6 when this was on the air and it used to freak me out. not that I didn't like it, I remember totally not understanding any of it. but, 4 years later when Ren and Stimpy premiered, I became totally obsessed with the same warped comedy. I wish I could find a copy of this cartoon. it, and the twisted adventures of felix the cat. that reminds me Ralph Bakshi did NOT create Fritz the Cat. He stole it from R. Crumb. anyway, this is a great cartoon, highly recommended

the scariest part of this movie I think is the fact that it is all real footage, put out as propaganda by the us government. the only thing scarier than that would be the things they tell you to do. like, if you keep your mouth closed a nuclear bomb can't hurt you. it defantly dosn't make me feel patriotic. if you like this movie, see Dr. Strangelove.

Man, this was a great movie. I started watching this movie completely fresh, I didn't read anything about it. I knew nothing but what the trailor on this site showed. but man, I had to stop watching it because it was to good to watch by myself. It really gives a sense of the insanity of the atomic age and the cold war. how crazy MAD (mutually assured distruction i.e. If we blew them up they'd blow us up, no one wins) was. great film, but I didn't really understand what the deal was with dr. strangelove. oh well.

I vaguely remember this cartoon, mainly from its product line. as I recall the good guys flew ships shaped like giant boots that squashed the toads. When I was little, this show confused me because the charactors where very serious and everything they said was really ridiculous and hard to take serious. and then they were flying these shoe ships and squashing frogs making this woopy cushion fart noise, that seemed like it was supposed to be funny. At the time this show came out there was big demand for cartoons like this. part of the ninja turtle fad. so writers and ideas for this stuff were ramped. In my opion, this is just another junk cartoon thrown together that invovled personified animal warriors, or from space or ninjas or whatever. just another strange part of americana

When this series started it was really great. It reminded me very much of Quantum leap, different situations every week where you know just as much as the charators and learn more and more and then save the day and then your some where else next week. Great. But, ratings arn't what they should be. the show goes away then comes back for a second season. then goes away. The next time it comes back the fall begins. the professor gets a disease or something and dies. well his intellegence was annoying anyway. So, FOX replaces him with a busty young girl to run around half naked. from there, Slowly, the plots become less interesting and more silly. toward the end we have 2 brothers, the pop singer, and the two busty women wearing very little, chasing the villain who is sucking the life out of people with a needle. far from the adventurous loose primeses totally open for creativity the series started with. oh well ..... this could have been a great show.

This is one of the greatest shows ever. Every guy would love this show. How can you beat it. Its a secret agent that builds all his gadgets from stuff he finds. Although, some of the lessons and morals and plot lines are a little cheesy, alot of the action and other stuff is just unbelievably great. perfect. I wish it was still on tv.

this movie was the worst movie I have ever seen. It was boring and stupid. It wasn't funny, it wasn't sexy (I'm still not convinced that the sabra character isn't a drag queen) it was nothing. Even as bad movies go, this movie is awful. I bought it because I like finding bad movies for 2 dollars at Wieners or Krogers and laughing at the stupid plots and bad dialoge(take a look at "the stoned age", wonderful bad movie)But this was awful. I feel sorry for anyone who has seen this movie, you are scared for life with an awful pain that will torment you until you draw your last tortured breathe.

The first time I saw this movie was when I was in 7th grade. It came on VH1, so I have never actually seen the unedited version. I had never heard of Pink Floyd, and I had no real intrests in music. This movie sparked something in me. The cartoon images where like things I had seen in my dreams for as long as I can remember. The movie grabbed something in me I had never felt. And I became a faithful desendant of Pink Floyd forever. It was the only music I ever listened to for a long time. These feelings are still stirred in me when I hear the songs or see a part of the movie. Its no coincidence, to me, that this movie was released the week I was born.

This movie is powerful, and disturbing. There is really nothing like it. it is totally uncomparable to anything. It shifts in time and space (not to mention live action and cartoon) With no warning. There is no real dialogue, no real character development, and to a first time viewer no real plot and Only the central Character, Pink, has a name. there is violence beyond beleif, horrifying images of the holocaust and nazis, suffering and insanity mixed in with strange beauty and art. The story however is not that hard to understand.

Pink Floyd the Wall is essentially about the rockstar Pink who is decending into madness. He is unable to cope with his fathers death in world war 2, his mother paid little or no attention to him, his "conveyor belt" schooling of facelessness, all the women in his life leeching off him, top it off with alot of drugs. Enough to drive anyone mad. These themes are all from things in the lives of the members of Pink Floyd. Syd Barret and Roger Waters fathers died in world war two. Roger Waters composed, and sang the whole album with full intetion of eventually turning it in to the biggest stage show ever and then a movie.Why? Mainly because Pink Floyd was out of money because of a banking error. The stage show was amazing but it was only preformed something like 4 times and included a 500 ft. inflatable women and a 2000 cardboard box wall .The last show was in Berlin at the site of, of coarse, the Berlin wall. For the movie Roger Waters was to play Pink but, he was too close to the material. Bob Geldof was chosen. He would later go on to organize Live Aid in 86'. The Wall is not the only Pink Floyd album about madness however. The Darkside of The Moon also touches on the subject, and did all of its 200 weeks on the charts, and still does. In The Wall, Pink's teacher snatches a poem away from him and reads it. The poem is an excert of the song Money, from Darkside. Need anymore Wall trivia? Don't miss Bob Hoskins (of Who Framed Roger Rabbit fame)as Pinks manager, in the scene where Pink is shook awake and dragged away.

being a child of the 80's (born 1982) I very vividly remember max headroom. he's one of those brief 80's tv icons like the little red noid from pizza hut (or dominos, I can't remember) but I never really understood what the max was. I thought he was from a movie or something. he seems to have made cameos in lots of stuff (back to the future 2 comes to mind). I kinda remember coke ads with him in them. I rented this video called "max headroom: the original story" for a dollar. right from the start it had an august huxley type feel, but it was very confusing and after watching it I still don't get it. I think it was the first episode of this series I just read in here about. I really don't understand. I wish I did. from the brief 2 scenes you actually get to see max he seems cool. sorry, I really wish I understood, but I don't.

I think of all the shows I still wish were on tv, I miss this one the most. this was one of the most weirdest creative sitcoms ever made. it was like this bizarre little suburban universe that I really wanted to be part of. not only was the writing great, but the music by one of my favorite bands polaris, is also great. I don't think that televison gets much more creative and funny than this show.

one of the best movies of the later half of the 20th century. it wasn't till I came here to the IMDB that I found out that it was made in 1980. it is amazing how they managed to make it look like a film from the early 30's by using not only black and white film but old film techniques. great movie

this movie is kinda ridiculous, not that it isn't funny. I think it is very funny just because or the raw talent that was scored in the casting. they are really the only thing I think hold this thing together. other wise no one would have ever heard of this film. but I think that Geena Davis and Jeff Goldblume make an eerie couple. they are both like these wide eyed zombie people.*spoiler*when goldblume comes out after being shave, it gives me chills. I think the best part is the song " I like them big and.....stupid" any, check it out to see jim carey, keenan ivory wayens, jeff goldblume and geena davis's humble beginings. julie brow is also pretty good, she wrote this thing too, thats cooll.....I guess.

I guess its a good idea to put peewee in the middle of a bunch of circus people, but the idea of whole love thing is just kinda weird. I mean if the charactor peewee isn't weird enough the fact that 2 women could fall in love with him, I mean its just all so creepy. there alwas seems to be something really dark going on in this movie. I really don't know what. mabe I would have prefered peewee to stay a sexless man child weirdo with a cool house. by the way this is NOT a sequal to peewees big adventure, a great movie!

even with the obvious plot flaws of the lost world. It still had a resonably intresting plot.This movie seems to have a silly little plot that just sort of conforms to whatever dinosaur they want to jump out at you next. There were so many things they could have exsplored but didn't. So many times when a characters could have been more. so many things that just went totally unexsplained. and at the end, it was just like "oh, its over, ok, whatever" boring boring boring. I hope if they make a new one, which is what they seemed to be hinting to, they write a story that is more than just "dinosaur jumps out here" and "something should happen here, we'll figure it out later (but they don't)" save your money for planet of the apes!

I think this movie is probubly the most intresting movie ever made. Its as if they tried to try every single thing you can do with a film and cram it in to one movie. Who cares if there is no plot line! plots are restricting, plots often get in the way, plots make way too much sense. Why does a movie have to totally make sense the entire time!

I think this film almost goes into the existential. Of coarse, its nothing like Beckett, but it does have certain elimates that make you contemplate life. The box scene really made me think, I wish it had lasted longer. and then it also makes you think about the sad life of the monkees dealing with their fame. like the sequence where they are dandruff and some omnipetent voice is telling them what to do, and how to be dandruff. The whole concept of being dandruff is so stupid, and haveing some one tell you how to do is is twice as stupid.

if you really like movies that are pure art and may take a little help to see what is really going on check out this movie! I suggest, if you want to see movies like this, try "fear and loathing in los vegas" or "pink floyd the wall" both of these movies (all though much more dark) follow the same non-linear outside of space and time seemingly plotlessness.

Pure surealism. Pure Dada. an art movie in its purist form.
