I enjoyed this movie and have watched it several times. Its fun to examine and analyze whats going on in the movie.
I wanna see more Junka episodes! I put a random best of the worst episode on one day for my fiance to watch with me, didnt know what Junka was (Its Jenga tower but made using old VHS tapes) and we were both truly engrossed in watching these guys pull those tapes with it getting to a point where we thought the tower would fall with every tape pulled xD
RLM is lots of fun : )

Fargo, as in the movie Fargo is a black comedy? I didnt find it funny at all. Just a disturbing crime caper. I'll have to go look at its genre classification on this one.
Your idea is exactly what Fear the Walking Dead is! Its why it was a fun show and gaves us new characters and situations to overcome in a new midwestern location. Season one is california, season two is mexico, and then season 3 onward is Texas and Lousiana
Z-Nation was a thrill ride and an amazing show! I agree the last season of the show was terrible, but up until then it was something great to see! I like the simple explanation that you gave that truly separates the shows. HOPE. Z-Nation had a guy from the very beginning episode that gained immunity from the zombie virus, and we joined the adventure of seeing if the world could be saved. In Walking Dead there is no relief. It really is rinse and repeat of the group finding safe haven only for it to crash and burn either through zombies, infighting, fighting an outside group, or all three combined. As much as I enjoyed Walking Dead, I noticed I took a long break from the show before returning and then the final season didnt feel like a real ending. We got no conclusion with any of the main characters stories. Now we gotta watch all these spinoffs to see? I have mixed feelings about this as Im glad there is more to see, but are we gonna see real conclusions?
What I was waiting on, other than walking dead people finding a real cure and not lies from a conman Eugene, was for them to encounter zombies that somehow gained sentience. Then we could have a bonified war between humanity and zombies with a great final conclusion. But even if walking dead did this it would be copying Z-Nation as they had sentient zombies. Also we already had "the whisperers" group that pretended to be real zombies. Final season of walking dead teased that walkers were regaining the ability to think through obstacles and even climb but it was too little too late by that point.
What were your impressions of her? Was it a nice experience?
Thats what made this show so interesting is that the magic of Jumanji must be immense as their clues taught a lesson to something the kids havent even done yet! How would the game know the choices the kids make within the game before they made them?
Also there were good beings that lived in Jumanji, not everything in the game tried to kill you (most though xD)
We never get all the answers and really just more questions. Its like the game was a twisted test and teacher but definitely magical! Maybe it was created by a powerful sorceror with a dark sense of humor? Maybe it is a magical jungle that was purposefully turned into and trapped within game? There are some episodes that deal with people trapped in Jumanji that NEVER rolled the dice! They claimed they entered it through a portal! One was the Captain Squint who claimed he sailed through and couldnt get back out <spoiler>Though we later discover that he is a part of Jumanji as he becomes the antagonist on two more episodes</spoiler> also there is the lady that flies a plane and she tells how a portal opened in the clouds and she flew through and got trapped. <spoiler>Alan, Judy, and Peter actually help her escape by that episodes end!</spoiler> It gave us the audience proof that Jumanji physcially does exist somewhere even if its within a parallel dimension and that Alan could possibly escape without solving his lost clue! Im trying not to spoil much for future watchers : )
Wonderful show!
Old post, but I gave it a 10 rating myself xD
The steam engines where a nice touch as since this is the middle of a jungle you would need steam power to have machines go not oil! So it was a nice touch by the show creators to work out how some vehicles and machines could function within a giant jungle.
Im glad to read others have found this show as fun. Two years back, I had randomly rediscovered this show at a local Dollar General, it was being sold there on DVD the complete series, a three disc set! For five dollars ; D My fiance could see my eyes light up and the excitement on my face as I picked up the case and told her "This is a show I want us to watch together" : ))
Im going to make a post about the show, and share the link here : ) I was typing here and then ran out of room to type! xD
