The remake fails on every level compared to the original.
This is why I want to watch the original version, at least I didn't watch the sequel of the remake.

C'mon guys, Vote for the Jaws and Tremors Double Feature!

I agree, everyone needs to treat themselves to some Bacon every once in a while.

You see, I would. I really would. I love Jaws and Tremors and I own both movies (including the numerous sequels to Tremors) and I've seen them a bunch of times. Great movies but The Host is only 1 vote behind them and it's such a uniquely great foreign monster film I really want it to pull off a fourth place upset.
Arlong Parkers, Let's go on a Great Shark Chase!! If you're brave enough!
Vote for Jaws & Tremors!

No Bacon for you.
To think I was in a John Williams concert not that long…
I didn't watch Jaws, but I don't want to, this movie ruins the image of sharks.
So we have a tie for second place between Godzilla Vs. The World Night and Clash of the Titans and a three way tie for fourth between Sharks of the Sea and Land, Power Rangers, and Pacific Rim.
What's the verdict, Galaxy?
Brody & Bacon, Bacon & Brody…
You know in your heart it's the right answer Galaxy :ninja:
It definitely has the most vocal contingent anyway.
Fuccccccccccck, I forgot to vote! :(
Alright, let's see…
I'll break the second place tie with Clash of the Titans, putting the Godzilla double feature at third place.
For fourth place, I'll vote Pacific Rim. Never got the opportunity to see the film, so here it is.
Aw. Well, some other time for Tremors and Jaws then.
Pity though since a 40th anniversary doesn't roll around very often.
@TLC:
Fuccccccccccck, I forgot to vote! :(
So that's why I was the only one voting for King Kong (2005)!!
It all makes sense now

Just realized this means I'll miss clash of the titans.
… sigh.
So the good news is I'll be on the net come 6pm today. The bad news (but not actually bad news) is I have a wedding to attend at 8pm tonight so I won't be on for long. Also, I'm at a hotel and the internet here is straight garbage so I know I won't be able to stream or download the movie. Maybe I'll just join chat. Hopefully my net can handle that…

Booo Galaxy, Boooo
@Rogues':

I blame myself for forgetting to vote. You can bet I'd have voted for Tremors.
The real crime here is that The Host didn't even place. Shame.
So..I am going to miss the Iron Giant movie..for shame. It's a great movie, but I already watched this movie two times already.
For those who will watch, have fun !!
Unfortunately I might not make it to movie night. I'm going to dinner with my granddad and aunt. There is a small possibility I could be back in time but I can't make any promises.
no power rangers :'(
Tonight will be glorious.

The Iron Giant is the film streaming tonight. Join the chat for live commentary! Nominations for the July theme are also open now.
@Galaxy:
Nominations for the July theme are also open now.
I nominate Live Action Musicals Month just to see if somebody will nominate 1776.
– Live Action Musicals can have individual animated segments (films like Mary Poppins would count) but the majority of the film has to be actual human beings singing.
The British Month.
Movies made or set in UK.
Nicolas Cage month! IT WILL WIN SOME DAY!
Where are the 12 The Iron Giant voters?
I nominate Black and White Movie Month.
They can be "old" movies, or they can be modern movies that use black and white footage as an artistic choice (Ed Wood, Good Night and Good Luck). And yes, they can also be films that combine B&W and color footage (Sin City, Pleasantville), but a large part of the film must be shown in B&W (so no Kill Bill or Casino Royale, which uses B&W in only one or two scenes)
Going off of Nobodyman's nomination, I suggest everybody give a description for your nomination (unless it's obvious), for the criteria, so stuff like "what is a ____ movie" doesn't have to be argued as much.
Not a bad idea really.
I nominate Tim Curry month.
Nominating Female Lead Movie Month
Movies who's main actor is female youdontsay.jpg
For July I nominate Stoner movie month
Ok, I'm nominating Jim Carrey month.
Movies featuring jim carrey as a lead actor.
Time Traveling Movie Month
Past or Future tine travel.
Sports Movie Month.
Self-explanatory.
The current nominations:

There are 5 more spots, if anybody's interested in filling them. The poll for these will open on Saturday night after our second movie.
I can finally participate here cuz I don't have to work on Saturday nights anymore :)
I'm gonna nominate Medieval movies
Swords, Knights, kings and queens, horses, all of that stuff.
I have to nominate Christopher Lee films in honour of the great man
I can do it! I can do it! I can make Movie Night this Saturday! I mean, I work in the afternoon but I should be back home in time.
I like how everytime an actor dies we go ahead and nominate that actor with great pride and gratefulness … and great forgetting of the last actor/actress who died whose movies we haven't or have barely even touched.
Speaking of that, I mentioned on chat I wanted to do a Robin Williams Month. Don't know why I never nominated it…
Heads up, I nominating a Robin Williams Month...next month!

Who was the movie's main character again? Omicron Persei VIII?
@Purple:
