Everything Everywhere All at Once
Are you on drugs Jeff? What does that mean? If it’s a specific movie or show you want a board for then ask for one to be made.
Ran it through Wikipedia and got this:

Of course, Jeff fails to follow up on his post, such as describing the movie. For him, offering his own thoughts is too much like work.
Instead he just makes a post and runs away, assuming that we're all supposed to just know what he's talking about.
What else is new.
I am inclined to agree with you on this one. It's like a five year old has stumbled in here at times...
Are you sure? What do we think? :P
And what happens when we see this show in heaven?
Probably "heard it online".
Doctor Mordrid:
Released in 1992, Doctor Mordrid stars Jeffrey Combs as the title character.
Also starring Yvette Nipar.
Doctor Mordrid is named as such because it is a rip-off of Doctor Strange.
In fact a Doctor Strange adaption was an option but it expired before the start of production.
So it became Doctor Mordrid instead and it is a very silly movie with an unsatisfying villain in Kabal (Brian Thompson).
Results of this movie is unspectacular and I am not talking about the quality of the special effects.
I know of that movie, Matthew.
Good thing Marvel was not under Disney's control at this time (1992). The Mouse would have landed on the makers of this film and shown then no mercy.
I wonder what would have happened if the makers of Doctor Mordrid had chosen to rip-off another doctor instead, say Doctor Who, and how would that movie had look like!
Blue Moon likes, or liked, to do horror-type movies so I imagine a Dr. Who knock-off would be similar to something like Image Of The Fendahl with more gore and nudity.
Guess we'll never know.
Tim mentioned Day Of The Triffids over on the Dr. Who board which got me thinking about it after I watched it a few months ago.
Not the classic I'd heard it was. It was okay, but clearly cut down from a longer book so characters kind of rush through things that may have taken longer in the book.
Also having two plot lines that never cross over... was a choice.
I kept expecting the characters to somehow contact each other or meet, but noooooooooooooo.

As with all film adaptations, no doubt things were changed from the original novel. Since I have never read the novel in question, I have no idea what said changes were.

Yeah, that couple in the lighthouse were totally removed from the main plot. Of course, they were the ones that ultimately found the solution to the problem.
As to whether this is how it played out in the original novel, I dunno.
On the one hand given the worldwide scale of the disaster jumping to multiple groups of people to show how they are dealing with it isn't necessarily a bad idea, but I'd think you'd need, at least, three groups to sell it.
As for the solution... *snicker* on a world that's three quarters salt water who would guess what the triffids weakness would be?
Frankly, I'm surprised nobody figured this out in the first week.
And why were there so many triffids on that tiny island with the lighthouse???
Of course, the original novel might have had a different ending.
However, as I said, I've never read it, so I don't know.
Guardians of Time:
https://tinyurl.com/ykexkxr9
Released in 2022, Guardians of Time is about four cousins who discovered a mysterious world and they are told about the said Guardians of Time.
Overall I felt very unimpressed with this movie and felt it very incoherent for me to follow in anyway.
Guardians of Time is a very bad mess in its presentation and was not worth the viewing.
May have seen that one, Matthew, but I'm not sure.
Jurassic Hunt
Synopsis: People hunt dinosaurs on a private game reserve.
Watchable, but lots of unanswered questions, although occasionally a there'll be a line that indicates the writers at least thought of a more interesting direction they could have gone with this.
The title feels like what you'd get from a Mockbuster, clearly trying to get people who like the Jurassic Park/World movies.
Of course I think all of the dinosaurs/pterosaurs we see are from the Cretaceous not Jurassic.
At the beginning a man called Rabbit has encouraged a dinosaur to chase him so a hunter can get a trophy.
Why would anyone in their right mind want to have a dino chase them and hope a hunter is a good enough shot?
Also as we see later in the film dinos are perfectly willing to attack humans without Rabbit leading them on.
Truthfully Rabbit is in this film for a plot-related reason later on, but there is no good reason for him to be in the story otherwise.
A bunch of hunters are brought to the hunting area with burlap sacks over their heads.
Considering that they paid for the privilege of hunting dinos you'd think the company would have splurged for some more comfortable head coverings rather than rough burlap.
The main character, Parker, stands out in a "which one of these things is not like the others" as she just doesn't look like a hunter. The men look like hunters, but not the lone woman.
Oddly enough when she loses her leather jacket later in the film we see she actually does have some arm muscles, and looks tougher.
I think we should have seen a few other women amongst the hunting party.
Lindon shows up to not explain how a corporation has dinosaurs available for people to hunt.
That would have been nice to know because all the ways I can think of (time travel, created in a lab, etc.) would seem to have much better money-making possibilities than letting people hunt dinos.
Also the amount of land needed to have herds of dinos roaming so hunters can hunt them must cost a lot in property taxes.
The whole dino hunting is apparently top secret, but considering that hunters like to display trophies it seemed to be contradictory.
After being brought to the reserve a sweep is run over the hunters to see if they brought any recording devices in.
Why wait until they are in the park instead of checking them before you actually bring them in?
Also they give up after discovering one guy smuggled in his phone, which is a good thing for our hero who has her own recording device. *rolls eyes*
An unexpected raptor attack on the camp kills off almost half of the group of hunters, but none of them had any lines and less personality than a Star Trek redshirt, so who cares.
While we have seen dinos earlier in the film the dinosaurs and special effects of violence involving them feel like something one would see in an Asylum film from around 2010, this film has a copyright date of 2020.
Twice in the film a grenade goes off near people and everything goes into slow motion which was annoying. I assume they did this to try to simulate the disorienting effect that being near a blast supposedly causes, but it really just kills most of the momentum that the film has built up to that point.
One of the hunters, Blackhawk, says that he wants to kill a brontosaurus, the biggest animal alive.
Apatosaurus might have been the correct term to use. Also there were larger sauropods known.
The hunting reserve has pteranodons.
How do they keep these animals confined to the hunting reserve?
Lindon has some research done on Parker and discovers she is a reporter.
How did he not discover this before he accepted her application to be part of the hunt??? It's not like she used a fake name!
One of the hunters uses a spear to hunt. At one point a T. rex shows up and he heads off to face it.
Yeahhhhhhhhh... his best chance would be throwing the spear and hoping it pierces the rex's eye and stabs its brain, but nooooo he holds the spear like he's going to stab it to death. He does, however, have one of the funnier deaths in the film.
Lindon is very insulting to the extraction term that he wants to come rescue him.
Surprisingly they actually did their job and tried to rescue him rather than wasting time and hoping nature takes its course.
The gate to the reserve has two doors that close and a chain with a padlock is used to hold the doors shut.
What the heck? Couldn't the filmmakers have had a fake lock created that looked like it's a part of the door?
The 'romance' between Parker and Valentine is practically nonexistent, basically being, he was nice to her so of course she comes to love him.
I give it a week. ;-)
This part of the GP franchise (that should ave ended LONG ago) or an Asylum style knock-off?
GP?
It's definitely Asylum-style, but I'd never heard of Grindstone Entertainment Group before. I wonder if the Grindstone people are former Asylum people?
Sorry, that should be JP (for Jurassic Park).
Okay.
Guess I shouldn't type stuff two minutes after waking up.
I usually look at a few things online before going to a site where I have to think.
Whether that helps my posts... who knows? ;-)
The movie, Puppet Master: Axis Of Evil, is set in 1939. Yet numerous references are made to American soldiers fighting in Europe and the Pacific.
Interesting, considering that the U.S. didn't enter World War II until after the attack on Pearl Harbour, which happened on December 7th, 1941. Two years later.
Did the writers of this movie fail history??
