I've been on this kick of watching 70s and 80s goofy good time comedies lately.

Blazing Saddles - one of my all-time favorite movies. It's the ultimate politically incorrect movie! You just have to see it to believe it! Written by Mel Brooks & Richard Pryor and featuring Cleavon Little, Gene Wilder, Harvey Korman, Slim Pickens, Madeline Kahn, Dom DeLuise & tons of others. I know every line in this movie and have seen it all the way through well over 100 times now.

Young Frankenstein - Another killer Mel Brooks romp starring Gene Wilder, Marty Feldman, Peter Boyle, Teri Garr & Clorus Leachman. It's a super campy take on the classic Frankenstein theme. It's an instant classic & a must see.

Big Trouble In Little China - An awesome flick combining Kurt Russell & Kim Cattrall with lots of laughs, kung fu & pure cheesiness. John Carpenter directed.

Oh man! Big Trouble In Little China rules! Lo Pan was just such an awesome baddie.

Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - An animated (Japanese) movie set to the music of Daft Punk. There's no dialogue at all, and very few sound effects, it's basically an album long music video. How good it is depends on whether or not you like Daft Punk. Lotsa blue people, lol.

But what I'm referring to are the characters that are just basically a complete rip-off of Sadako and have no uniqueness of their own. I'm saying that all Japanese horror movies are good. Every country on the planet has plenty of movies that suck, but I think Korea just happens to have mostly films that rip-off other countries, specifically Japan. Whereas, in Japan, even if the movie sucks, generally they were trying to use an original idea or an old idea in an original way.

And I would not call the long-haired chicks in Thai and Indian movies I've seen "Sadakos." They are quite different.

I think very highly of both japan and korea, so I cant really agree with you, I think there is plagiarism in both sides, and some where original ideas on both sides as well.

And I have some Thai-Evil long hair ghost-haunts your cellphone-movies. which are a total ripoff from the ring
I also have a India movie with a creepy kid running around thats pretty much a remake of the grudge
But then on the other side, I've seen Canadian/american/European underground movies that also has long haired women in a white dress running around with electronic gadgets
I geuss everybody wants to be hideo nakata.

I did an essay on Mel Brooks in Film Criticism in my first year at college and discussed those two movies, and I think Spaceballs Big fan of everything he's done.

I watched steven seagal in 'into the sun' yesterday.

It was alright

Big Trouble in Little China has to be one of my favorite old flicks too.

It's like a magnet. If I see it's on while I'm channel surfing I just HAVE to watch it again. Kurt Russel's character is hilarious.

Blazing Saddles, Big Trouble, The Thing are all great classic movies.

I've recently watched:

Fracture - awesome

Number 23 - awesome

Zodiac - awesome

Shooter - really awesome

I'm currently watching "Zombie Flesh Eaters 3"...

...the less said about it the better. I mean my expectations were low but god damn...

[oompa]

Oceans Thirteen - good i think, not as 11, but definitely better than 12.

The Bourne Ultimatum - wow! see it (if you took the slightest interest in any of the earlier ones).
