Time to rewatch one of the greatest CBMs of all time. Been listening to the soundtrack on my way to work, still slaps.

What the heck is going on in this thread? There’s like 4 pages discussing Captain America 1990, which was an embarrassingly bad film.

You say embarrassing bad, I say hilarious romp.

Someone didn't see the new cut

Bro, the fight scenes are HILARIOUS.

I love the sound effects LOL.

Someone didn't see the new cut

A new cut of a 35 year old movie where Red Skull is a white Italian guy?

To paraphrase Richie from The Bear: “what are you incel, 4-chan, Snyder Cut mother scratchers talking about????”

In all seriousness, no I didn’t see a new cut. Where is it streaming? I need to know so I can go ahead not watching it.

Now you'll come in here and roast Captain America, but this is your king:

I've always liked that movie too. Surprisingly good looking movie visually and cheesy in a good way.

Yeah if you just kinda forget that it’s supposed to be a Punisher movie it works pretty well.

Cap’s rubber ears look more realistic in the director’s cut.

WHEN CAPTAIN AMERICA PRETENDS TO BE SICK

HE MIGHT JUST STEAL YOUR CAR ‘CUZ HE’S A D**K

IF HE’S LED TO A FIGHT AND A DUEL IS DUE

REST ASSURED HE’LL RUN AWAY FROM YOU

I love comic books. I love ninjas. I love women.
Of course I will love a comic book movie where the hero fights women ninjas.

I get Draven, he's haunting dead, and has nothing better to do, but where do these other heroes find the time to lay out these elaborate self-indulgent blazing logos?

I can forgive Zorro, since his was the original, before the means for a Batsignal.

This is correct. Daredevil's calling card is the only one out of those three that isn't a shocking waste of time.

I just want to know how he made that calling card so perfect? And so symmetrical?

Blind my ass.

They really don't make em like this anymore man.

The overall look, the costuming, the atmosphere, the music... classic from top to bottom.

The graphic novel is even better.

What are you talking about? They just made a Crow movie last year!

Did it Brainy?

 

[Spider-Fan]

I probably won't watch The Crow today, though I love the movie. I am knee deep in a for the first time ever watch The Howling movies and thus far I have watched the first 5. I still have 3 more to go.

The recent Spiderverse vs Venomverse mini brought in a sentai Venom.



It was glorious.

How's it going?

 

[Spider-Fan]

So far, interesting results lol! It's better to think of these movies more or less as Werewolf anthologies isolated into their own as opposed to a continuing narrative. Save for 1 and 2, but only in the very loosest of sense. They're telling completely different stories.

The Howling is a very solid early Joe Dante movie. Great effects. Well executed movie. Best movie in the series.

Howling II is classic so bad it's good cinema. This movie very much doesn't deserve Christopher Lee, lol! It's B-Movie schlock and highly entertaining.

Howling III is one of the weirdest movies I ever watched. It was directed by same guy as II, but he got upgraded to writer and producer on III, and it's one of the most insane movies I have ever seen. So much happens. The last like....30 mins go off the rails, and it started without rails.

Howling IV is more or less a second try at adapting the book again, but it is more like when Stephen King would do his own version of his book like The Shining. Technically maybe more accurate, but also cheaper, worse acted, and boring.

Howling V is fun. It's a classic people trapped in a castle during a blizzard movie, but 1 of them is a werewolf, and for a straight to video movie, it's rather good.

The first 3 were theatrical releases and then DTV thereafter. I think V is likely my peak of this DTV era I will watch. I would be surprised IF VI and beyond are half as good.

Always saw these in the video store as a kid, but never watched them. Just decided it was time lol

Speaking of which, there’s this one podcast that I listen to called “Rogues Gallery” where they pick a certain film based on its villain/antihero and go through the movie’s background and development history. Early last year, they did a wonderful episode on “The Crow”, and at one point one of the main hosts recommended a cover of The Cure’s “Burn” done by Stabbing Westward.

If that sounds awesome in theory, it’s because it is.
