Glad you didn’t give a mediocre review to Big Night.
i hope you follow-up M amd O with Z, since we know you already Q.for one of m y Shakespeare classes as an undergrad, I did a Forbidden Planet and adapted Othello as a science fiction film. Not the most earth shattering adaptation, as it’s kind of obvious, but hey, I was prob still a teenager.
I was thinking the same thing!!!! Actually re-watched Big Night on a 9 hour flight yesterday, I forgot how great that movie is!!!!!!!

Having wrestlers in street clothes trying to make the save postmatch after a fan stormed the ring was a decision. Maybe that’s why non-wrestling wrestlers stay in their gear after their matches
Wrestlers coming out for a post match save, should either be wearing their trunks and a normal looking shirt, or dress pants or jeans and no shirt.

Rest in Peace Dave Parker from the Pittsburgh Pirates and a ton of other teams. A great hitter in the late 70's and without a doubt had one of the greatest fielding displays in All Star game history in 1978 I think
Damn he was supposed to go into the Hall of Fame this year. Thought he was already in
He should have gone into the HOF decades ago, total bullshit that the gatekeepers waited this long to put him in.
This one hurts, he was my favorite player as a kid.

Was flipping through the channels last week and saw that IFC had a National Lampoon's Vacation marathon, since I'm heading off you Europe tomorrow night I decided to watch National Lampoon's European Vacation. First I remember seeing this while on vacation in Wildwood, New Jersey, and I don't think I've seen it start to finish since maybe when I rented it a year or so later, it was a staple on HBO so I remember jumping into at after it started many many times. I think I like this more than Vacation, it moves from bit to bit at a good pace, while the original drags at points, I also never found the Uncle Eddie character funny and he's not in this! Joke wise it bats around .550 and the jokes that don't land or aged aren't that bad. Also, had this been made now or they did a European sequel to the Ed Helms Vacation, they'd totally shot the whole thing in Atlanta or Vancouver, this movie actually went to London, Paris, Rome and a German speaking part of Italy.
Staying with the travel theme I re-watched Airplane! just like European Vacation this was on premium cable a lot when I was a kid, still a fun watch and almost all of the jokes are still funny.Last night Netflix suggested Airport, so I gave that a re-watch. This was one of the movies we played during the day at Blockbuster since it was a G, this is the horniest G rated movie ever made, yes its from 1970 and they were still figuring out the rating system, but there's some horny scenes and dialog in this that makes you go "this is a G?". It's also comically over dramatic, and extra over dramatic when Maureen Stapleton is on screen. Helen Hunt totally steals the movie and you can see why she won Best Supporting Actress for this, George Kennedy looks like he's having a blast in his role as Joe Patroni, so much that I kind of feel they gave him the contract for all the sequels when he walked off set one day, Dean Martin is cool as always but seems silly when he has to be frustrated, he calls executive types Penguins and I totally dig that term, they might as well named Burt Lancaster's character Burt Lancaster, with a few exceptions he seems to be playing Burt Lancaster in almost everything. There's multiple scenes where abortion is discussed in a manor that was surprising in today's eyes, hell even in 1993 eyes when I first saw this. It also has that cool late 60's multi box look and editing, like the Woodstock doc that came out that year.

Just looked over what was all nominated for the 1997 Oscars and ouch! That As Good as it Gets, The Full Monty and Good Will Hunting all got nominated for Best Picture over Jackie Brown and Boogie Nights is just wrong. Same with Jack Nicholson winning Best Actor over Robert Duvall for The Apostle and even Peter Fonda in Ulee's Gold. Totally forgot that the actors in L.A. Confidential didn't get nominated for anything!

Once and awhile I fall down a rabbit hole of Siskel & Ebert reviews, about three videos in the other day I stumbled across this one for Brian DePalma's Wise Guys and they both loved it. I hadn't seen Wise Guys since maybe 1990 when it faded away from its cable tv rotation and couldn't remember if it was good or bad, so I gave it a re-watch. Yikes its bad, there's zero chemistry between Danny DeVito and Joe Piscopo, the jokes aren't funny, where were the people protesting The Sopranos for disparaging Italian-Americans when this came out, and its bad when a movies bright spot is Captain Lou basically being Captain Lou. Now, there's actually a decent story that was most likely lifted from some old gangster movie that could have worked as a drama with some jokes thrown in or a black comedy. Siskel & Ebert are so enthusiastic about this flick but its so bad. This isn't on any streaming services but multiple people uploaded it to YouTube, which makes me think whoever own the rights gives zero F's about it.

just realized that a Al Snow and Dan Severn team on WWF TV probably would have just been the Al Snow/Steve Blackman tag team (yeah, I know Snow and Severn had worked together for years pre-WWE)
although I guess "Dan Severn realizes his longtime friend Al Snow has gone insane" would be a deep storyline for late 90s WWF
Seeing their names in the post has me wishing there was a Dan Severn & Steve Blackman tag team.

Ok, I'm not gonna lie, the trailer had *just* enough classic Abrahams & Zuckers spots that I've come around to slightly on board.
Pretty much the same, won't go to the theater to see this but will watch when it hits I'm assuming Paramount+.

Why don't you try and aim to walk in right then, in that case? Time out one showing (probably one of the most popular movies because those are bound to be loaded down the most) and try to apply it to the next. They all have assigned seats now even if people don't follow the rules. You aren't gonna miss a spot.
It's just another scam.
I'm assuming that's what people were doing and why they're working in another commercial. I'm not the one to ask on this since 90% of the time when I goto the movies its on Free Popcorn Tuesday's, it totally varies on how long you have to wait in line at the concession stand, so we always get there a little early. Also, I go to Emagine Theaters which is a small chain, they always run a thing with their CEO hamming it up right before the movie starts.

AMC has indicated in a press release that there will be a "premium spot" before movies at their theaters start for another ad, as if that's what's making people not go to the theaters.
Assuming that “premium spot” is right after the last trailer and right before the movie starts. I don’t go to AMC that often, but I think they stop commercials before the trailer’s start.

The Roller Derby World Cup is less than a month away, there's going to be 48 teams and I'm coaching one of them! This will be the third time I coach Greece in the World Cup, while we'll never compete for a medal we're looking to come out of our bouts with a winning record. The World Cup is going to be in Innsbruck Austria, which means lodging is expensive:/ Not sure if this is allowed here but if anyone wants to help out the team by buying some merch the link is below.

Furface was discussed here within the last year or so right? Maybe it was longer I do not know but I remember the discussion so it was recent enough I remember it but far back enough I forgot all about it until I started to jog my memory. Well WWE Vault posted this
The fake crowd noise for the attacks on tv doesn't really work when you don't see the actual crowd sitting on their hands. Furry Oven Mitts Furface was a much better look, kind of surprised they didn't recycle it for someone else.
Wow is Rick Martel JACKED in these!-

When I was a kid we went to Universal Studios and the highlight was the Hitchcock exhibit that year, which had the Bates Motel standup from Psycho, an optical illusion staircase descending for Vertigo, and a 3D segment in a theater where I saw the Mother Bates reveal for the first time ever. It concluded with a section that just had birds flying at the screen until one entirely blacked it out. Terrifying and awesome. Sadly, Jaws was out of order that year.
I think I also got to be in the cast of Arcade that year? Nick filmed there, right? That had to be the place we went to with it. We also went to Disneyland once I think and it sucked, no memories of that shit. Parents didn't like it either.
Anywho. Check THIS out. Quentin Tarantino's list of desired actors for Pulp Fiction, by role:
Can you imagine Frank fuckin' Reynolds as Winston the Wolf? "You got a head minus a body in a car, take me to it" and then he starts playing with the head
Can you also imagine Michael Madsen and Larry Fishburne leading the movie? Lili Taylor would have been a great Honey Bunny. A lot of the actors for Mia and Marcellus would have been interesting. But there are a lot of... humorous... candidates in there. He also has an elevated opinion of William Petersen that I do NOT share.
Did a quick re-cast during lunch without using anyone in the actual flick.
Pumpkin - Christian Slater
Honey Bunny - Marisa Tomei
Vincent - Gary Oldman
Lance - Nick Cage
Jody - Lili Taylor
Mia - Jennifer Beals
Jules - Charles Dutton
Butch - Matt Dillon
Fabian - Julie Delpy
The Wolf - Michael Keaton
Koons - Tommy Lee Jones
Marcellus - Bill Duke -

Wasn't My Two Dads a spinoff of... I wanna say Night Court?

No they just did crossover epiodes, the Judge was on Night Court and Bull was on My Two Dads.

Another trailer for Heads of State which somehow makes it look worse than the first trailer did
So this is basically an action remake of basic cable mainstay My Fellow Americans with Jack Lemmon & James Gardner.

Maverick - Before he went off the rails into swirly-eyed madness, Mel Gibson had to try really hard to do wrong. Making a movie out of a TV show from the late 50s wasnt exactly what the world was waiting for but it got made and it stayed true the sensibility of the show.
They could've made a straight ahead action Western but instead, the movie plays to Gibson's charm that he used to have in spades. The problem is, charm only carries you so far without a string story and the story here is... somewhere in the middle.
The cast carries this film, especially Alfred Molina as Angel. Actually, the cast members I can live without in this is Jodie Foster as Annabelle Bransford. She's out of place as a foil for Gibson and doesn't really mesh with him as a romantic interest either. You can take her out of the movie and not much changes.
I feel that they could've snuck Roger Moore in this just to have 2 of the original Maverick's in there. We aren't even gonna touch the Native American segment with Graham Greene.
In the end Maverick is type of TNT on a Sunday afternoon that I might watch if there was literally nothing else on. It has moments but not enough to make get excited to sit through it for 2-3 hours with commercials.
James
I saw Maverick in the theater twice! The second time was due to the projector breaking right before Speed! I think they let us go into another movie that was playing around that time to go along with a free pass.

@Andrew POE! they made a Teen Wolf cartoon series, too. It’s probably on Youtube. The 80s were nuts.
I think this was the last Saturday morning cartoon I watched consistently.

Last night I re-watched 1987's Back to the Beach! It's on YouTube. What could have been lame nostalgia ends up being this weird in a good way, totally self aware parody, that's way way better than you'd think. Frankie Avalon & Annette Funicello totally get it and look like they're having Raoul Julia in The Adams Family level of fun throughout the picture. Lori Laughlin plays their daughter, but the actor who plays their son Demain Slade steals the movie, you may remember him as the "I want my two dollars" kid from Better Off Dead, he's hysterical in this. There's a bunch of cameos some that make sense nostalgia wise for older people, but also for kids/teens who watched reruns and Nick at Night in the 80's. Then there's some that are totally from out of left field like Pee Wee Herman showing up to sing Surfin Bird and OJ Simpson doing slapstick a year before Naked Gun. Fishbone is in this, they perform Jamaica Ska with Annette Funicello! Plus you get Stevie Ray Vaughn and Dick Dale playing together. I watched Siskel and Ebert's review and both of them loved this, Siskel compared it to Grease and said it might even be better, apparently Paramount tried to hide it from critics thinking it would get blasted with bad reviews.

Of the 2 Michael J. Fox movies from the summer of 85, I really didn't care fotmr Teen Wolf. I remember seeing it with my Dad and sister and just everything about Fox in it rubs me the wrong way. Mow im not goingvto say the werewolf thing is a metaphor for maturation but rather about puberty in general.
Still, as much as I don't like this, somehow Teen Wolf Too is worse. Probably, in large part to it being an obvious unnecessary cash grab sequel. I'd rather sit through The Legend of Billie Jean again because that at least it had "Invincible", a total banger by Pat Benetar going for it.
James
Don't be dissing The Legend of Billie Jean! What's fair is fair!
