    I tried so hard to save this episode until I find a chance to watch Sharknado... I lasted all of 30 minutes.

     

    Best Tuesday surprise evar.

     

    So Ian Ziering and the director of Sharknado were on Adam Carolla's podcast today and said that SyFy is re-airing it on Thursday.

    I saw this with my Uncle when I was 13, and I have a really embarrassing confession to make: When the movie was over I jumped up out of my seat and yelled "YEAH, DEMOLITION MAN!" That's not the embarrassing confession though: In the next few weeks in school I was taking some kind of questionnaire, and one of the questions was something like "What do you think the future will be like?" All I wrote was: "Demolition Man"

     

    Thinking back on this now I can't stop laughing at how stupid I was back then!

     

    Cracked thinks you were more right than you do:

    That reminds me of other films where an audience seems to be privy to stuff that they can't POSSIBLY know and cheer along or react like they've read the script and saw that personal moment between the two main characters towards the beginning of the film where the classically-trained dancer told her friend that her dead father loved breakdancing. Instead of treating her like a crazy a person when she dons a sideways baseball cap and starts doing The Worm during her ballet recital at the end, the audience knows what's going on immediately and reacts like they expected it to happen when they SHOULD be seriously concerned about what the fuck is going on.

     

    JCVD's debut movie, Breakin'?

    To be honest I find intentional campy movies to be dull. Most of the fun is thinking "Holy crap someone actually thought this would be a good idea to make?" and of course the fact that it's a bad idea is why they made it. It seems like it defeats the purpose.

    Oh man, and I just discovered you can add Jessie Ventura to the list. He was a prison guard in Batman & Robin and one of the prisoners in Demolition Man.

     

    Edit: And if they end up doing No Holds Barred he's in that too.

    Also, definitely agree that cryo-jail doesn't seem like a punishment (aside from being awake the whole time, which apparently they didn't know about). I'd love to be able to freeze myself and wake up in the future without having aged.

     

    I think that the idea of the sentence indicates punishment, but there are clearly rehabilitation elements to the cryo-prison

    I think one of the problems with most Wesley Snipes movies is that he almost always plays his characters as invincible. As a good guy, who inevitably wins, this makes for a boring story. As Simon Phoenix however this works perfectly.
