He really enjoys the role and wanted to keep it going. I think he like the idea of creating this complex character and story that is his. rather than taking a role of a character like james bond.

I think he would make a good Doctor in the doctor who series. I think people would have less of a problem with the idea of him playing that compared to bond.

Twin Peaks.

My favorite show of all time. I believe it is still on Netflix.

I, sadly, had watched the trailer. And while I knew the twist, it was still a fun film. Methinks it might be just a tad better if you didn't know the whole scenario going in...

THE BABYSITTER
3.5 / 5
This is an over-the-top action horror film that embraces its supreme ludicrosity with open arms and a big, wide smirk of a smile. It’s a completely fucked-up ode to ‘80s teen dramadies and the goofy, splatter horror films of the ‘90s. On the surface we’re tossed what is essentially a coming-of-age story, but then it’s ladeled with lottsa gore and grue. Sure, all the genre cliched characters are intact, from the smoking hot babysitter, to the air-headed cheerleader, the muscle-bound jock, the wannabe gangsta rapper black dude, the sulky goth girl, the meek-and-mild nerd, the chunky bullies, and the girl-next-door-with-the-douchbag dad. But the tweaked-out scenario and the action sequences are pretty gonzo. Like most of the films it’s paying homage to, the adults (aka parents) are wide brush stroked cliches and are hardly present in the film, lending the whole affair that sun-washed sense of suburban surreality. And it’s got dick jokes, visual references to the likes of 3 O’Clock High, Risky Business, Fasttimes at Ridgemont High, borrows heavily from Corey Haim’s classic Lucas, as well as nods to numerous other films. It also has a breakneck sense of pacing, leaving you little time to think about the puerile happenings unfolding before your eyes. In short, it’s a fun, gleefull horror romp if you can manage to let your brain power down and roll with it.

RIYL
Scout’s Guide To The Zombie Apocalypse; Better Watch Out; pretty much any teen oriented coming-of-age film from the ‘80s; pretty much any splatter film from the ‘90s.

PS
If you are hardcore, I highly recommend a triple-feature with Scouts Guide To The Zombie Apocalypse and Better Watch Out.

Loved it.

Cheers

Im currently watching 3%, which is a Brazilian show. You can tell it doesnt have a huge budget, but they get around it for the most part. It is essentially people going through a series of tests to attempt to get into a utopia.

The new Jim Jefferies is good. Longer build, but I nearly peed.

Watching Safe with Michael C hall. Pretty good.

Onething thing about tv shows is there are to many crime dramas no matter how good a lot are (basically they became good in the past ten years).

Watched “How It Ends”. Got mixed feelings about it. On the one hand, I did watch it all they way through. It took some turns that I didn’t expect, which I thought was OK.

But, on the other hand, it never passed the plausibility test. The ending would have been better if it were true to the fact that you can’t outrun a pyroclastic flow in a car.

Aaahhhh, but what they didn't tell us was they were swallowed by a 50' wide sink hole around the next turn!

Even pyroclastic flows eventually lose momentum and come to a stop, so it's (remotely) possible. Seems like the focus was primarily on how people were dealing, instead of on the cataclysm itself, so I didn't mind the mystery and unanswered questions pertaining to "the event". Do kind of wonder what hit the military train, though ........

The Horn, Helicopter rescue on the Matterhorn. Really good show. Interesting the difference between rescue in Europe vs the States.

I had not heard of this film, so I Googled it. Damn, it is getting slagged (just like most of the other recent NF Original sci-fi films!).

Went to dinner the other night at the home of a Seattle skier I met whilst in yurp last winter. Turns out his wife is the daughter of Hedy Lamarr. Check out the newly released "Bombshell: The Hedy Lamarr Story" on Netflix. Pretty fuckin' interesting story.

^^^Of course I pulled that one out first thing. She'd probably heard it way too many times, and, I think her childhood sucked pretty badly, so it wasn't received with a lot of mirth. That said she (the daughter) was a terrific hostess and had a great sense of humor.

Mom was a subject she didn't really want to talk much about.

I didn't know anything about her other than being an actress... fascinating. Will check out the film.

You will be surprised at what you learn!

I never got to find out “how it ends” because I turned this steaming pile of garbage off 3/4 of the way through. Terrible movie, don’t waste your time. Some films are so bad they’re good; this isn’t one of them.

**Danno** · 07-20-2018, 06:56 AM

A Futile and Stupid Gesture was pretty good.

**mcski** · 07-20-2018, 11:53 AM

I love that Doug Kenney played Stork.

**Benny Profane** · 07-20-2018, 02:23 PM

I just caught most of this movie on AXS last night, never heard of it. Don Cheadle wrote and directed. Pretty cool. On Netflix.
