  1. I forgot it was on until after it had started, but I recorded the later airing. Sounds like mixed opinions (here and elsewhere) as to whether it's worth watching or not. I'll probably save it until the aforementioned Go Bayside! covering it. Speaking of...

     

     

     

    April Richardson @Apey · 14h

     

    REAL TALK for real: I even think this kid playing fake Zack is charming as hell. #unauthorized

     

    I will always defer to April on all things SBTB, but I really thought he was the biggest casting boo boo. Now the guy playing Principal Belding...that guy was gold.

     

    Those crazy fake eyebrows, on the other hand, those were definitely a casting coup.


  2. It wasn't so bad it's good. It was so bad it's bad.

     

    I'm sure they couldn't include the more scandalous sections of Diamond's book because they'd get the shit sued out of them (esp since even he admits a lot of it is made up), but they could have spiced it up a little. It was so damn boring. And that kid they picked to play MPG was a major miscast.


  3. this is followed by a fight scene with Electro in Times Square that has a backing track of carnival music and Spiderman hosing down Electro while wearing an old style fireman helmet.

     

    Oh see, that image is the epitome of what Spider-Man is about. I got ridiculously happy when I saw that.


  4. Poor Bill Corbett, as I recall there was very little of his original script left in the finished project. And the studio didn't want the movie to seem science-fiction-y, despite the fact that it was obviously science-fiction.

  5. (As an aside, the Ross bashing in the episode kinda grates. Leave the Los Angeles rich-kid entitley satire to the show that does it better -- Hayes and Sean -- and keep the focus on fun, spontaneous creative comedy, please.)

     

    If the butt of the joke were the store patrons I could see where you might have a point, but the focus of scorn in the Russ character is a multi-billion dollar corporation that seems to put the least amount of effort possible into maintaining its stores. The joke is *for* Ross shoppers.

  6. I hardly ever tell this story, but here goes: I had a non-speaking part as a villain on Ang Lee's Hulk movie. When I heard that they were going to use CGI for the Hulk, I told Ang just to "Lou Ferrigno" it. So they used my trainer and a whole bunch of anabolic steroids to bulk up Eric Bana and then painted him green. He got up to about 190 lbs for the part, and none of it was flab. Well, one day, I heard that Eric Bana was talking trash about me, so I grabbed him by the neck and told him that he was going to be using my poo as a hair conditioner. He kind of stomped back to his trailer, and when Ang asked him what was wrong, Bana just said, "Hulk scared." Ang came after me and said that I would never work in this business again. I grabbed him by the neck and told him that he didn't know anything about comic books. I said, "You should be making movies about gay cowboys or something instead." Everyone heard this and started laughing at him. The rest, as they say, is history.

     

    I find this story 100% credible.

    Is that John Laroquett in the military security outfit and hat?

     

    Definitely not. I think it's supposed to be a GW Bailey look-a-like, but it's not a very good one.

     

    Also, how hilarious is it they used a cardboard cutout of Steve Guttenberg? It's odd to think there was a time when Guttenberg was such hot shit he could turn down music video cameos.

    Looking at this video I sort have to admit I do have a bit of a crush on Ally Sheedy, she still looks good for her age Looking at pictures of her on IMDB. I liked her in the "The Breakfast Club" don't know how she got talked into this Short Circuit 2.

     

    She doesn't appear in Short Circuit 2, it's just a clip of her voice. I have to figure Sheedy & Gutenberg basically refused to do another one of these (or they wanted too much money) and that's why the follow-up is suddenly about Stevens horribly racist caricature/character.

     

    Listening to that DeBarge song now I want to sing 'Who Charted' instead of 'Who's Johnny'.
