As a kid, used to watch him in The Six Million Dollar Man, and then as The Fall Guy. But I just want to remind everyone who hasn’t seen it yet, you should go watch Ash vs Evil Dead. (From the beginning, although Lee doesn’t show up until season 2.)

Seriously. At first I wondered if this was a gag like the Pac Man movie trailer a while back.

Is there an effedupmovies site? All I can find are lists on other sites (Letterboxd, IMDB, Ranker etc).

Jennifer’s Body was impressive enough (when I saw it on a whim years after it came out) that I looked up its writer (Diablo Cody) and what else she’d done. Which led me to Young Adult. Wow! And: Ooof! Powerful stuff.
Or as one critic put it: “Young Adult may be the year’s most engaging feel-bad movie”.

Used to love watching Moviedrome, where Repo Man’s director Alex Cox would introduce some amazing cult films and what he loved about them.

How did I not know this???
- Searches for “slinger” in… the usual places ;) : "Ooh boy, that’s a lot of porn!"
- Searches for “cyborg” in the usual places : “OK; now I see one or two results are ‘Director’s Cut’.”
Thanks, I’m going to check it out!

During early pandemic, I watched/rewatched a whole bunch of mid-80s to late-90s action flicks (action’s heyday?) and remember Drive not just as great fun but one of a whole slew that had that same… exercise machine?
The one with three concentric rings, and you strap into the middle and spin around in all directions. I think Universal Soldier, Fortress and a bunch more had it too. I should have turned it into a drinking game, as it seemed to be crammed into every 90s sci-fi flick.
Here’s my terrible attempt at drawing what I mean.
Does anyone know what it’s called?

I don’t know how Rutger Hauer went from arthouse fare like Turkish Delight to straight-to-video action flicks… but I’m damn glad he did!
Another one for the Rutger b-movie pile: Split Second.

Well, there goes my next 28 free evenings!
(Well, 26. I watched Radioactive Dreams last week, and rewatched Cyborg a few months ago.)
- Comment on Favorite B-Movies? 1 week ago:
Recently watched Pyun’s Radioactive Dreams (his post-apocalyptic coming-of-age hardboiled detective sci-fi musical!) Post in Lemmy B-Movie Bonanza.
I tried watching Knights a few week ago but the… “copy” I got switched from English to French about ten minutes in. :D I’ll try another source soon.

“In Hanoi, I understood more about Marxist theory than my interrogator did,” Stockdale explained. “I was able to say to that interrogator, ‘That’s not what Lenin said; you’re a deviationist.’’’
The backbone and the funny bone!
I hope at least some of us will display such character as the Dear Leader tries to cement his grip on the country’s institutions, media et cetera.

Pfft, it ain’t Gunsmoke if the Marshal ain’t played by Bill Conrad.
But seriously, I might give the TV version a try, as I definitely enjoy the original radio show.

So Trump can lie about the size of the fish he caught the way he lies about his golf score?

“Open source material has depicted TdA members with a combination of the below tattoos”. Except I sincerely doubt the images are actually open source. Someone please, on top of all the gazillion other suits, sue the US govt for copyright violation.

And all the way in the last paragraph:

Damn, isn’t there anyone standing for re-election who’s got the backbone to stand up to the fascists? It’s only ever people “retiring”, term-limited etc.

I think one of the articles I looked at said the Focus estate is their last estate and is expected to end production this year or the next.
- Comment on What movies have you watched this week? 2 weeks ago:
Here in Mexico, it’s not available on Netflix, only on Apple TV.
But if I need to shell out money for a therapist to watch it, then there are… ways to get the film without incurring additional expense. 🏴☠️ 😁
- Comment on Approving US-made cars would make UK roads less safe 2 weeks ago:
The thing is, that twat in the White House doesn’t care about cars sold in Europe by US companies, only cars exported to Europe from the US.
And IIRC Ford has completely ended the production of saloons and hatchbacks in the US to focus solely on US-tax-break-covered “light trucks”: 4x4s, crossovers, pickups, vans etc.
AFAICT there is only one Ford-badged saloon left in production anywhere in the world (the Mondeo/Taurus, with no successor planned), made by a joint venture in China and sold in the Middle East. And the last estate (Focus) is expected to be discontinued this year.
Leaving only oversized energy-guzzlers (even the full EV 4x4s have a bigger carbon footprint than a compact ICE hatchback) unlikely to win a huge swathe of the European market even before he alienated every non-fascist on the continent.

- Comment on Approving US-made cars would make UK roads less safe 2 weeks ago:
I remember this same whole “Wahhh! You don’t buy our cars!” palaver playing out with the US and Japan back when that cunt was first expressing his love of tariffs. (Late 80s/early 90s)
Sure, Japan had some trade barriers. But Japanese automakers absolutely worked their arses off with market research, design etc in order to succeed at selling in the US market. US automakers couldn’t even be arsed to install coin holders that fit Japanese coins, let alone put the steering wheel on the right side of the car.
And even if US automakers nowadays showed even a modicum of nous for foreign markets, practically their entire production line has been geared to churning out ever more monstrous pickups and 4x4s, thanks almost entirely to their fucked up tax rules on vehicles.

I mean, “Yanks” is right there.
Or “septics”, if you wish to be politically correct.
