This just about sums it up.

(Was actually produced by Ben Folds, who I just got back from seeing play).

You did NOT just make a Mosquito Coast reference.

WOW, schaef, I think I could come up with several movies worse than that

Stop, or my Mom will Shoot
Leonard Part VI
Demolition Man
Rocky V
Rambo III
Rambo
....Ok anything with Sylvester Stallone except Rocky 1-4 and Rambo 1-2

I thought we were talking about George Lucas movies.

Back on topic... how would George Lucas release the new Redemption set?

1. 3D cards that can only be viewed with special 3D glasses available on his website
2. Talking cards that use THX technology - that is, they get louder over time
3. Cards that have built-in weaponry, like lasers and poison darts, for the full gaming experience
4. Cards with characters that you've never heard of because they were cheaper to license

The Mosquito Coast was worse than all of those.

Agreed, although Howard the Duck comes close.

5. Re-release Warriors with new computer generated updated art work, and annoying special abilities. Both of which seem specifically designed to suck all good feelings and joie de vive out of the original beloved set.

Okay, enough bagging on Angel Wars, already. I kinda liked the set.

Isildur · « **Reply #57 on:** April 08, 2009, 12:11:25 PM »

How come no one bags on the Warriors anymore? That seems like the perfect set to slap a few bags on!

Spades anyone?

I liked Angel Wars, too. However, I think he was talking about the new Star Wars: Clone Wars cartoons.

soul seeker · « **Reply #60 on:** April 08, 2009, 01:25:51 PM »

Actually, I thought the Clone Wars cartoons were getting better and better (even though my kids couldn't watch the season finale--it was just too much that I had to edit that they wouldn't have seen anything)

YourMathTeacher · « **Reply #61 on:** April 08, 2009, 01:31:56 PM »

I like them, too. However, I have found that I needed to do a lot more editing and "explaining" during this cartoon series than I had expected. The bad language used by the clones is unnecessary. They seem to be trying too hard to create the "atmosphere of war." If I wanted "realistic" war scenes with "realistic" language, I would watch Apocalypse Now. However I would certainly not watch it as a family movie, which is what we were doing with the Clone Wars cartoon.

soul seeker · « **Reply #62 on:** April 08, 2009, 02:16:02 PM »

Right, I watched them ahead of time because of the language and some rougher scenes. Most of the cartoons had 1 maybe 2 parts that i had to mute or stand in front of/FF. The last episode was more than just one or two scenes as you know. I agree that they were trying to make it grittier and darker to appeal to adults and kids in addition to make it seem like "real" war.

Actually, I think he meant the new films. I won't speak for Matt, but I really like the new cartoon. I actually think it's the best interpretation of the Star Wars universe on TV or film, with the possible exception of Empire Strikes Back.

I was referring in part to the newer films, but also to Lucas's annoying habit of taking the old films and making them "better." Blah...

I liked the episodes of the Clone Wars that played on Cartoon network. I didn't go see the Clone Wars movie, because my most trusted film critic (JSB23) told me he thought that there was excessive Lucas meddling making the movie pale in comparison to the cartoon series.

The Schaef · « **Reply #65 on:** April 08, 2009, 08:46:37 PM »

Dats just nutsen. It was just the first three eps of the cartoon season, why did he have to go and ruin it by not letting other people perfect his vision the way Kershner, Marquand and Spielberg did?

YourMathTeacher · « **Reply #66 on:** April 08, 2009, 08:54:05 PM »

I love the comic relief of the droids in the cartoon series. I wish they had thought of that before JarJar.

lightningninja · « **Reply #67 on:** April 08, 2009, 09:00:53 PM »

Isn't this kind of off topic?

YourMathTeacher · « **Reply #68 on:** April 08, 2009, 09:08:38 PM »

I tried to get it back on topic, but Schaef started talking about the Mosquito Coast again....

The Schaef · « **Reply #69 on:** April 08, 2009, 10:11:49 PM »

It's cinematic evangelism. There is a fire shut up in my bones, to make sure no one watches that abomination ever again.

On an unrelated note, one use of my time minding the baby has actually been to watch the prequel films again. They are my guilty pleasure.

I didn't even know that The Mosquito Coast had prequels.

The Egg Coast
The Larva Coast

Like all good movies, it was part of a triology.

That was truly excellent, YMT.

Actually, I think they were called The Harrison Fjrod and The River Phoenix.
