@FuriousMachine He has a nice set of legs but the blood spray takes away from the comedy, it's not really needed. I didn't even realize they were making it, I wonder will Spaceballs be next maybe even Police Academy.

@graymamba Oh this is a classic 😂 "I've got full blown aids" thanks for sharing, its been ages.
Memories of Val Kilmer will always be Batman Forever, even though I could think of many cooler films he was in. I was fully into Carrey at the time and Val being batman just made him interesting by default. I seem to remember him being a good Jim Morrison but I haven't seen that since I was a teenager. R.I.P.
@AgentCooper Two smaller Kilmer films that I haven't seen in a long while popped in my head the other day: Spartan and The Salton Sea. I remember liking them a lot when seeing them for the first time, so I'll try to track them down and see if they hold up.
I know I don't follow film news anywhere near what I used to but this just caught me by surprise. When I saw the thumbnail I wasn't sure if it was an April's fools joke. I can't say I have high hopes it can recreate the greatness of the originals.
@FuriousMachine I thought you were kidding but there it is Spaceballs 2, I'm actually kind of excited. Hopefully it means more people will find the original for the first time. Someone told me recently that the 2014 Robocop was the only Robo movie they've seen. They didn't know about the original. I got a message saying 'This game is great but he doesn't look like he did in the movie' I was so shocked that I even recommended they watch the third (1993) one. I still haven't heard back from them.

@BearsEatBeets It's funny, we were just discussing this on the previous page of this thread earlier today (hence the other Liam Neeson video shared by @graymamba above)
@GirlVersusGame Hopefully it will lead more people to Mel Brooks and hopefully it will be good, but I'm not overly optimistic. And how horrible it must be to live in a reality where only the 2014 Robocop exists! Good thing you fixed it for them
@FuriousMachine I didn't think to check back on the thread, of course most people were aware of it before me. I agree the final joke is the best part of the teaser. Seeing Akiva Schaffer is writing/directing gives me a little hope as I found Hot Rod & Never Stop Never Stopping very funny and generally like The Lonely Island stuff. Seeing Seth MacFarlane involved tempers that hope though, although he isn't credited on writing. Will have to wait and see.
I didn't know about Spaceballs 2 though! Is it an actual sequel or reboot?
Following the talk of Val Kilmer and Naked Gun has everyone seen Top Secret? Not quite on the level of Naked Gun or Airplane for me but more than enough laughs to be worth a watch.
@BearsEatBeets I had the exact same reaction to the credits as you: Schaffer, sweet! McFarlane, not sure. I'm a huge fan of Lonely Island, Did you see their live medley from the SNL 50 concert thing?
Unsure of what "Spaceballs 2" will become; they've been calling it a sequel (and Brooks have given it his blessing; I think he may even be involved in some capacity), but I wouldn't be surprised if it's more of a legacy sequel/rebootquel in the vein of "Ghostbusters: Afterlife". Time will tell.
"Top Secret" is actually one of my favourite Zucker/Abrams/Zucker productions and I love it dearly. Been wanting to get the "ZAZ: The Collection!" on 4K, containing "Top Secret", "Airplane" and "The Naked Gun", but it's a bit pricey for my wallet at the moment. Will hopefully get it down the line, though, as those three movies are stone, cold classics!
I picked up the Criterion release of Godzilla Vs Biollante. I mainly wanted it for the cover art by Eric Powell & the poster he did too. What a movie though. I thoroughly enjoyed this one. Can't wait to sit down and watch it again.
I just finished showing my best-friend the first (1987) Hellraiser. I forgot they dubbed the actors to further distribute the movie outside of England. When I first saw it I couldn't tell, my own English wasn't as tuned in, now it's really obvious. It adds another surreal layer to the movie. Hopefully she's up for part 2, it's been a while since I've seen it.

@BearsEatBeets Yeah, classics! Unfortunately, neither Timberlake or Schaffer was on hand for the live show, though. Lady Gaga filled in for Timberlake for "D*** in a box" quite nicely
@MightyDemon82 That cover art is seriously sweet! Never seen the movie; I am woefully malnourished when it comes to the old, classic Godzilla movies. I've seen the original, but hardly any of the Toho sequels and none of the non-Toho movies. Will have to do something about that.
@GirlVersusGame That's why it sounds a bit "off". I wasn't aware, but that explains a lot. When you sat your friend down to watch, did you say "I have such sights to show you" in your best cenobite voice? Please say that you did
@FuriousMachine I actually did, in the days leading up to it, and also sent 'Explorers in the further regions of experience. Demons to some, Angels to others' I had to add some hype lol

@FuriousMachine I'm the same. I remember seeing some of the older movies on t.v. as a kid but I couldn't tell you which ones. But seeing a giant lizard emerging from the ocean to that iconic theme really made an impression.
In a moment of madness I bought The Showa boxset in the early hours of the morning. I've wanted it since release but held back due to the price.
