[THE QUEEN!!!]

wow, they haven't done Xmen 3 or Temple of Doom? then, yes, it's about time.

I can see none of my list is gonna show up, except what's already shown up. oh well.

[LucasM]

Honestly, RiffTrax or no, I really do not want to have to sit through Temple of Doom again.  It is such a horrendous film that I don't even think a RiffTrax could make it bearable.  I hope they never do it.

Jumper came out in 2008?  Seems so much longer ago.

So, you hate all my favorite movies, huh?

I doubt if I hate all of them....    [But if I have made comments dissing a number of your fave films - by the transitive property - chances are you wouldn't be able to stand quite a few of my faves.  No biggie: just different taste.]  No 'personal dissing' intended.

Last year's #21: Billy Jack - (1971)

Synopsis:

"David Rice is a high school student in Ann Arbor, abandoned by his mother at five, enamored with Millie, a fellow student, and picked on by at least one classmate. On a winter's day, while about to drown, he discovers he can transport himself instantaneously to anyplace on earth. He leaves town, goes to New York City, robs a bank vault, and comes to the attention of a shadowy group of government hunters. Eight years later, the hunters, led by the murderous Roland, get a fix on David. He heads home, searches out Millie, invites her to travel with him, and only later realizes that Roland and his crew are seriously deadly. Is everyone close to David in danger?"

This may sound insane and it is but it is also true,I know someone who thinks that movie is based on a true story and has spent the last two years trying to learn how to transport himself from internet websites.  It isn't a joke he thinks he can learn how to do it and he thinks this movie is a true story.

Oh and Temple of Doom is my favorite Indiana Jones movie.

But it is true; people from A² do have special powers, at least the graduates for UofM do.
