American Splendor: The DVD Shelf Movie Reviews [Episode 8]

[Williamsfan]

This movie was the best.

So sad to hear about Harvey! May he rest in peace.

Love the review!

@Williamsfan Thanks! I decided to not include this little bit of info in this review, but the first time I ever watched American Splendor was the day before Harvey died in 2010. I bought it from a Used DVD store because I'd always wanted to see it even though it had been out for years. Then coincidently, I decide to watch it one day, then the VERY next day, it was announced that Harvey Pekar had died. I'll always remember that whenever I watch this.

Does this mean you like Green Lantern? Because I don't think it deserves the critical bashing it got.

@Hewylewis It was okay. Okay enough for me to own the extended cut on Blu-Ray. It was just a movie that popped in my head when it came to including a montage of superhero flicks. And, yeah, there are way worse comic book movies out there, although I'm not a hardcore fan of Green Lantern comic books. Thanks fer watchin'!

@happydragonpics No problem, man! I totally wanna see this movie now!! Thanks! Oh, still hope you review a Godzilla movie. Maybe a DVD by Classic Media or the upcoming Criterion Blu Ray release!

[happydragonpics]

@Hewylewis Yeah, gotta love Criterion.  Maybe I'll take a look at that. I'll admit I haven't many of the Godzilla movies, but the original would probably make for a good episode. But, it'll be a while. I've already got movies lined up until Episode 20. Stay tuned!
