  1. Last time you watched The burb's?

    Today is a good Burbs day. Been busy with work. I just wanna lay back, listen to the ballgame, drink a couple hundreds beers . Maybe I'll buy one of those electronic garage door openers. Hey have I showed any of you guys my new tools? lol About to watch it now. I need my fix.

  3. Any movie that gives you the same feeling as The 'Burbs?

    OK I promised some good ones and here you guys go. 1.) Dream a little Dream - Ya I guess I really like Corey Feldman because he shows up in a lot of my favs but this movie is timeless and EXCELLENT. Have to check it out if you haven't seen it. 2.) Highway to Hell ( 1991) Wow, Hard to...
  4. The Burbs Challenge?

    Hey fellas    Very cool to those of you who have completed the challenge. Over the years I've introduced this movie to many new people and really I've never had anyone who didn't like it. The Burbs as you guys know is the kind of movie that grows on you. It's impossible to pick everything up...
  5. I found my new home away from home..

    Calling me names? About a 9 on the tension scale there huh rube?
  6. The Burbs Challenge?

    One thing I have tried to do is get one person who hasn't seen the movie to watch it. This has been easy lately because my cousins who are 7-8 recently watched it and they like it. I also have 2 pretty decent sized framed THE BURBS movie posters and they are great conversation pieces and...
  7. The 'Burbs remake

    For me it had to be the Nightmare On Elm Street remake. I feel like they failed in every possible way.
  8. Hanks like/dislike The Burbs?

    I think Tom Hanks likes the film. In a interview with Joe Dante he said that the only reservations Tom had about the film was it was the first time he ever played a dad. He was worried about making the transition from younger roles to more mature "family man" roles. Dante really made it seem...
  9. Any movie that gives you the same feeling as The 'Burbs?

    I know what you mean by that "feeling" . The Burbs provides the movie atmosphere , characters, soundtrack , and direction that leads to you being able to enjoy the movie time and time again. This is a tough one because very few movies do this for me. While I enjoy many horror movies I can...
  10. I found my new home away from home..

    Hello Ray, Thanks for the welcome Clearly I'm a terrible painter and I doubt I will ever finish. Even if I did you ever notice how bad it was going to look? One post was red, was post was columbia blue. The paint was just left open with no lid. smh....
  11. The Burbs Blu Rays and Extras

    Looks great. Watching a interview with Joe Dante from August 13 he said there was alot of footage he never used. Very interesting to see how many deleted scenes are on this blu ray. What a disappointment it would be to wait this long for a minute or two of extra footage. Sucks because they...
  12. The 'Burbs remake

    Which I'd say is untouchable*
  13. The 'Burbs remake

    I agree the fright night remake was pretty decent. That is very rare. I also agree the Night of the Living Dead remake was better than the original. I just look at it like this . A remake of The Burbs like a Halloween or NOES isn't necessary because the original was so. Watching it would be...
  14. Chemlawn Truck

    I liked the movie long before I knew where it was filmed. In the beginning of the movie where it shows the globe and zooms in the location would of been somewhere between Des Moines and Cedar Rapids , Iowa. That's another thing I did like about the movie though It could of honestly been filmed...
  15. Chemlawn Truck

    Cool Mike. Never really thought about the ChemLawn truck much but cool to know they are a real company. Such a great movie...
  16. Anything used in the movie that we can locate ?

    I've looked and haven't found much over the years. Hans Hat was on sale a few years ago but other than that nothing more than a signed movie photo or poster from a character or two. They do have some pretty cool shirts on EBAY with quotes from Rumsfield.
  17. The 'Burbs remake

    I use to feel the same way "rube" . I just feel like with other movies 20+ years old getting remakes and sequels it's something we can explore. Joe Dante would probably be interested. It would be easy enough to recreate the atmosphere and I just would love to see how it played out.
  18. The 'Burbs remake

    One of the things I love about the first movie was it was casted perfectly. I wouldn't want to ruin that by adding to many big stars who are just doing it for a payday and nothing more. I like your idea of Dan Aykroyd as a possible co star. Bill Murray wouldn't make a bad eccentric neighbor to...
  19. The 'Burbs remake

    Ya Corey isn't a box office star no more but I don't see a burbs remake or sequel being a box office hit no matter who would be cast for the lead role. I honestly prefer a cast that's not too Hollywood. By that I mean I wouldn't wanna see someone like Ben Affleck, Shia L, Liam Nielsen or any...
  20. The 'Burbs remake

    Ray did tell Ricky to look after the neighborhood for him.. It only makes sense ......
