Talk: AMC Movie Blog: July 2008

keep logos ,other information, and pictures of upcoming events off movie screens

It is time for AMC to return to the days of yesteryear, when there were no logos, no information about upcoming programs, and pictures of upcoming events on the current movie showing at the time; and preferably you would go back to no commercials.

My Cousin Vinny! "Mrs. Riley, and ONLY Mrs. Riley!!!"

My Cousin Vinny is a classic film, that gets better every time. Marisa Tomei , Joe Pesci, and the Karate Kid himsef Ralph Macchio join forces and deliver unforgetably performances. The on-screen chemistry and comedic timing is priceless. My Cuz Vinny is a movie i've been quoting since 92 and can see myself quoting till i'm 92. "Were those magic grits?, Did you buy them from the same guy who sold Jack his Beanstalk beans?!!! "Stan your in Ala Fu#&ing Bama, your from New York, you killed a good ole boy, there is no way this aint going to trial!" "Imagine your a deer, your prancing around and you spot a brook, you put your little lips down to the cool, clear water, BAM a Fu#&ing bullet rips off part of your head, and I ask ya, would you give a Fu#& what kind of pants the son-of-a-bitch that shot you was wearing!" and who could forget the 2 Yutes! This movie was and always will be a classic. Check me out this thursday on the AMC show Cinemania, where I will be tring to earn the title of My Cousin Vinny's Biggest Fan...... and this has nothing to do with my weight!!!! Ronnie

Get Rid Of Stooges

and get Abbott and Costello movies back on Sunday mornings. It's time for a change. Their comedy beats slapstick any day, hands down!!!!

Jaws! They don't make em' like they used to

An undeniable classic. Very rarely does a movie stand the test of time, let alone over 30 years. There's something special about the movies made in the 70's that you don't see too often today. Jaws is one of the biggest examples of that. With Steven Spielberg's flawless direction we are taken to another world with characters who remind us of the people in our lives (well, maybe not Quint). I guess I would label this as a horror movie, but it's a subtle one. Spielberg is reminiscent of Hitchcock in that he doesn't give too much away and the fear becomes a psychological one. I mean, so many people were afraid to go back in the water after seeing this film! Something about the summertime makes me want to watch this film over and over again lately. From the first time I saw it until the last time this is one film that will remain one of my favorites. If you haven't see it, see it now. Check it out on AMC tonight, and watch me on Cinemania!

Olympics

AMC should play a marathon of olympics related movies this summer.

B&W 50's Movie that has NO talking..

It's driving me crazy trying to find out what the name of it was....What is the black and white movie that has

NO DIALOG ???...

I remember it as a spy type plot.
You could follow the story by following the proceedings...it had sound...just no verbal exchanges....I thot it was VERY creative....might have been a Ray Milland film ?

Can anyone help me out ? GumManRay@aol.com

DVD Enhanced Versions Shown Only Once?

Why are the DVD Enchanced version of movies (letter boxed with interesting trivia displayed beneath) shown only once? I caught the last 30 minutes of "The Graduate" a few months ago and was saddened to see that it would never be shown again. What is the thinking behind this decision? Are DVD enchanced movies available elsewhere?

Jaws Remake?

What about a modern day Jaws movie with more of the book contents in todays time frame? I think that could be awesome. What actors could play Brody, Quint and Hooper?

AMC: Future of Classic Commercial

Hey, big fan of AMC tv. I watch the movies all the time. Recent I've seen your new commercial for "Future of Classic". The one that goes, "This is..." and has a song to accompany it, a steady piano beat. I was wondering if there is a possible way to view that commercial on your site. I've looked but maybe I'm not very good at looking. Or maybe someone knows an outsource. Anyways, thanks in advance!

First Cinderella Movie Ever Made?

Is there a way I can get information on the first Cinderella movie ever made in black and white? I'm not sure about the year but it is around late 1960 and early 1970`s. I would like to have info on that movie copy or something.
