And he’s had 25 years to develop and improve his portrayal of that character, still all the emotional conveyance of a breeze block.
(Will still watch 90s action movies with him, though.)
- Comment on Rightwing populists will keep winning until we grasp this truth about human nature 1 week ago:
And getting rid of regressive VAT for progressive income tax would probably be a vote winner, too.
- Comment on Tulsi Gabbard Reused the Same Weak Password on Multiple Accounts for Years 2 weeks ago:
Plausible deniability for when it’s discovered her accounts are controlled from Moscow?
“Oh, I must have been hacked cuz weak passwords. That’s why my account sent our classified war plans to Putin.”
- Comment on What movies have you watched this week? 2 weeks ago:
I finally got around to seeing Forbidden Planet (1956).
I thought it would be cheesy, but it actually maintained an atmosphere of suspense, thanks not only to the great cast but also to the spooky fully-electronic score.
- Comment on Father Whose Son Was Shot by Cincinnati Police Hits Deputy With Car, Killing Him 2 weeks ago:
Chief Theetge said that city police officers responded to a residential cul-de-sac on Thursday, where they found a car that had been reported stolen in northern Kentucky.
One of the four people, identified by the authorities as Ryan Hinton, had a gun in his hand, Chief Theetge said.
the officer called out that Mr. Hinton had a gun.
Mr. Hinton fell to the ground and the responding officers provided first aid, Chief Theetge said.
A firearm was recovered at the scene, the chief added. Another gun was found inside the stolen car, the police said.
And we all know how much we can trust what the police say.

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.

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!

- Comment on Favorite B-Movies? 4 weeks 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?
