I like the Irwins and Ebert gives it three stars. Steve's last feature film :cry: what a loss. The Irwin kids carry on tho as does Terri with the zoo.
Hokey as hell but it's home 🙄
There were no scripts used in the "documentary" portions of this movie; whatever Steve Irwin and Terri Irwin said was off the top of their heads. All stunts were performed, just like on The Crocodile Hunter (1996), by Steve himself. Brozzie's husband in her wedding photo on the mantle and other pictures in her house is Wes Mannion, Steve Irwin's best friend and Director of Australia Zoo.
The crocs used in the film are all live wild caught crocs caught by Steve Irwin himself.
  • "Bindi": scene where Brozzie falls from the tree into the lake
  • "Monty": when Steve first discovers the croc on land
  • "Charlie": boat in the middle of the lake prior to capture
  • "Graham": final capture scene.


The Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios logo in this film has a crocodile doing the lion roar. The film's trailer was a discussion of the lion in the classic MGM logo, and then leads up to the crocodile in the logo.

Alan Freed
Albert James "Alan" Freed (December 15, 1921 – January 20, 1965) was an American disc jockey.[1] He also produced and promoted large traveling concerts with various acts, helping to spread the importance of rock and roll music throughout North America, including popularizing the term "rock and roll".

In 1986, Freed was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. His "role in breaking down racial barriers in U.S. pop culture in the 1950s, by leading white and black kids to listen to the same music, put the radio personality 'at the vanguard' and made him 'a really important figure'", according to the executive director.[2]

TRON: Legacy

Wow. Not often I wish I could get that time back.

Didn’t enjoy it at all.

Sorry to hear. I guess it's not for everyone, but it sure was for me! I'm watching TRON: Ares on Tuesday (hopefully). Would have seen it on opening night with all the fanboys if I didn't have so much prep for Thanksgiving. I saw TRON as a kid and loved the concept. To this day, I still want Dillinger's desk. Then I watched TRON: Legacy as part of an IT sales presentation and thought it was amazing. I think I may have rewatched it at least 10 times since. Every time I hear "AI", I think of CLU.

Also a big fan of TRON, I believe not everyone get's the concept, but even still, it had all the other stuff to make it enjoyable. Well ahead of it's time. Would be interested to see a re-mastered, which just fixes the masking a bit. Legacy was a great follow up. Re-watched it a bunch of times. Interested in the new movie.
 
I'm thinking I missed this somehow. 🍿

Revisited this one:

Still holds up pretty well.

What is interesting is Oliver Stone, was huge in the 90's, and how he's change his focus for the type of work he is doing. I almost thought he past away, considering the lack of being out of the limelight.

Great movie.

I gave Mad Max: Furiosa a watch. There's too much "dumb" in it, from things vehicles climb (and looking really fake doing it) to stupid vehicles like the 3-motorcycle chariot, and the mini 2T motor in a fake arm with no driveline, etc. Too much visual artsy stuff in the first half as well.
 
The new "Toxic Avanger" reboot, starring Peter Dinklage: If you're a fan of the original then this is pretty true to it, with higher production values. Still the same bloody practical effects that you've come to expect from Troma. Elijah Wood and Kevin Bacon?!
 
After watching Toxie, I think I need some more Peter Dinklage. Time for a rewatch of "Knights of Badassdom" which will, no doubt, remind me once again that friends have told me the original creator's vision was far better, before it was nerfed by producers. (I just had a look at the credis and it seems that the majority of the people who played LARPers, many of whom are members of the Washington SCA, weren't credited.)
 
Saw Nuremberg a few days ago, good movie, enjoyed it.


Based on a book by psychiatris Douglas Kelley (played by Rami Malek in the movie) who interviewed defendents, including Hermann Goring.

"Following his assessment of Nazi leadership, Kelley concluded that the defendants did not represent a specifically Nazi pathology, but that “they were simply creatures of their environment, as all humans are” and in some circumstances, many people would act similarly."

When discussing the movie the next day my 98 yo aunt told me she did a river cruise in 2015 and boat stopped at Nuremberg for the day. She toured the courtroom where the trials took place.
