  1. OT: They went from James Brown doing the Black Caesar soundtrack (one of the GOAT soundtracks) to using Edwin Starr for Hell Up in Harlem (the sequel). That has to be one of the biggest drops in terms of talent for doing a score in a film series. I get that, but not a lot of people could follow James Brown. It makes it sound like you think Edwin Starr sucks, and if you do, you should re-visit his discography, because Edwin Starr most certainly does not suck.

  9. I did spot Christian & Lance Storm eating there several years ago. Doesn't seem to have done them any damage.
  10. Where are there Black Bear Diners? It sounds like some Canadian thing or Vermont thing or Oregon what have you? California, mostly. And the Pacifific Northwest. The one I go to is here in Vegas.
  11. Black Bear Diner. Huge portions, fucking awesome omlettes.
  12. Haven't seen Tokyo Fist in many years and had too many films to get through to give it a re-watch, but it left a strong enough impression to get a vote anyway. Somehow I have never seen Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky. A few films that didn't make the cut the last time around, that hopefully show up here: Fresh, Les visiteurs, Peace Hotel, The Nasty Girl, Swallowtail Butterfly, I Hired A Contract Killer, Muriel's Wedding.
  13. While I liked the same stuff you did, this film marks the 2nd in a row where I am pretty much done with Spock. Which I believe puts me in sync with Nimoy, because I'm pretty sure that after WoK he was like ( In the voice of Jesse Pinkman) "Fuck it, I'm done. I'm just cashing checks from here, BITCH!!!!!!" Crappy FX? Whatever. Didn't hinder TOS. Yeah yeah yeah, they spent millions on the film, where do you see it? Again, I would never argue that it was a great, or even very good film, but I would rather do a Star Trek V marathon than ever watch Ron Burgandy again. I think where the film really fails is that, like his mentor Roddenbarry, V is a re-hash of stuff already done ("The Apple"), but not really progressed. There is also the problem of editing. Star Trek has always had that attitude of battleships fighting it out on the ocean, and they sure as hell cut it that way. I do remember a thing from Eweekly way back when, when some actress of Garry Shandling fame was recounting her experiance on T.J. Hooker where the Shat asked her what her motivavation for being the hooker/drug dealer/unsavory person was, and she claimed to have disrespected him to his face.
  14. Ouch. I mean, I wouldn't even begin to argue that it is a great movie, but it is better than its rep. It is certainly a pretty good concept that could have been executed better. Maybe Shatners limitations as an actor, which in some bizarre way makes him GREAT, would doom anything that he directed. Dude is the proto-Nic Cage....maybe not the greatest talent, but absolutely fucking fearless. " I NEED My PAIN!!!!! ". That one line alone makes it better than the worst movie you've ever seen.
  15. If only Joel & the 'Bots could work their magic on Ron Burgandy.
  16. I know, right? I was like "Jesus! When does this get funny?"
