love the idea with the premium episodes!!!! also love bandcamp!!!!

could coul please record a premium podcast for halloween?
i am thinking of a podcast about horromovies in general (not just the halloween-movie serie like everywhere else). would love to hear something like this!!!

another suggestion for a premium episode would be a special about tv-series.

well anyway. cant wait for more. i bought the starwars episode even though i dont like the movies

I’ve liked all the Marvel flicks aswel – even Iron Man 2, although yeah, it was only so-so. I loved the first Iron Man though, which is clearly the best of the bunch.

I’ve liked all the Marvel Studios films enough. Iron Man 2 was probably the worst one, and even that was still Ok.

Didn’t a couple of you give Captain America 4 stars?

@Sean, now they should have gone with the story in that game for an on-screen sequel. Maybe you should revisit it and play till the end. As you said, for a movie licensed game it was extremely well done!

If all of these Marvel movies suck so badly, yet seem to make millions and millions of dollars, and spawn sequel after sequel, I think someone, somewhere, is doing something right.

These are basically first generation films and Marvel Studios opened up fairly recently,so I think this is a good start. If the rumors are true and Marvel is really as tight, budget-wise, as some people claim, then that might account for these movies not being top-tier, but I still think they will get better with time.

None of these super hero movies are going to win an Oscar or an Emmy or whatever, but they entertain, and that’s their main purpose, as far as I can tell.

Yeah I played a bit of it for Xbox… didn’t get very far but I remember it being better than most licensed games.

Have you guys ever played The Thing for PS2?
It was a direct sequel to the movie and was really good.

The interface options of figuring out on which NPC was The Thing really good. I’d recommend a play through.

Greg, no need for a reunion, Golden Earring is actually still together. They haven’t been to tour North America in thirty years but they are still playing in their homeland.

I would be happy to lead the charge of a Chicago Filmjunk Meetup. It would be cool to get something centered around Beauty Day playing at a local fest/art house or DVD release. Let me know if you want me to get the film to some of the local film fest people, or cord. with other active filmjunk chitowners

Speaking of Frank going as Frankenberry, I head-slapped myself the other day when I realized Frank’s image on the FilmJunk logo was the frankfurter.
