PlanBFromOuterSpace

I hereby nominate the word "Classics" to join "literally" and "ironic" in the pantheon of words deserving of alternate definitions that describe the word as "the opposite of what this word actually means". I'd say AMC is more guilty of this sort of thing though, as I once saw them air "Species 2" in the middle of July or something, not as part of their Monsterfest, or whatever it's called when they keep showing "Halloween 6" every day for the entire month of October.

This certainly wasn't the first film to do it, but I remember the trailer for this one really jumping out at me at the time and making me say "She's totally fucking dying" when it gets to the "...but she was hiding a secret" part. Maybe it was because this was the first movie of this type that came out after I started working at a movie theater, as I could now just skip the first 90 minutes, poke my head into the theater, see the end and go "Yeah, I knew I was totally fucking right".

Also a terrific Bond girl name.

You're failing to realize that whenever the "Junior" episode hits, it will truly be Christmas for us all!

Fuck SHIP!

No no no, that was Asia Carrera, who was also pretty hot.

I totally had the hots for her back then, and this was back before I understood the concept of body doubles, so I was pretty bummed when I did finally figure it out. She did Playboy several years later though, which made it alllllll better...

https://www.yahoo.com/movies/news/al-pacino-confirms-marvel-meeting-050038313.html The Daredevil's Advocate, maybe? There have to be some other ones that work...

I think maybe they're super tight with the Michael Bolton-esque rapist guy.

I was surprised to see a new episode pop up last week, as she's pretty much done, aside from the TV movies. Her on a Showgirls show would work as a nice epilog to the series/podcast, and there could be so much discussion about this being the alternate universe Jesse Spano that didn't QUITE cut it in college...

No, it only really affected the marketing, as it was "Neighborhood Watch" (which we had posters for) before it just became "The Watch". That was quite a while before its release and the movie itself didnt resemble that event in any way, shape, or form, besides it being about A neighborhood watch, so I don't think the Martin controversy had any hand in the movie underperforming, as it was still the same movie that it would have been anyway.

I don't get all the hate for this one. I thought it was OK, pretty average overall, but this thing got shredded in reviews like it was a Uwe Boll-directed romantic comedy or something...which I would "Watch".

In addition to the sheer amount of ridiculousness on display, I feel like the traffic on the bridge is a little light. If you're going to go balls out on the blimp, the posing, and whatnot, that bridge should be PACKED. Instead, it looks like it's about 7 am on a Sunday morning.

It's like a classier version of a Rob Liefeld piece where NOTHING makes sense in relation to anything else.

A really good wrestling video podcast out of the UK that I watch, Old School Wrestling (OSW) Review, just released a review of their own for "The Happening". They've covered every Pay Per View of the Hulkamania era in the WWF, they've covered ECW, they've reviewed the WWE studios films, and they were trying to figure out what to do next, so they did this in the meantime. It actually has a very, very, very thin tie-in to wrestling (They'd originally seen it while being stuck waiting for a flight home from a show) and they may seem like an odd group to be covering this, but it's well worth a watch!

I've seen it happen. Legit.

If the movie got it right though, I'd say it was accidental, as it's pretty well-documented that for the longest time screenwriters, particularly those writing Eighties techno thrillers, had no idea what computers could do, much less where they came from or anything involving all the moving parts that it took to go from concept to me playing "Parsec" on whatever Texas Instruments thing my family owned in 1984. Because computers, guys. Because computers.

It reminded me of when someone finally starts to come around and admit that they're in an abusive relationship. "A View to a Kill" loves NO ONE.

Did anyone else find it odd that while the film EVENTUALLY made its way to California, they blew their "California Girls" load pretty randomly during the opening sequence is Russia? Was the music with the snowboarding stuff supposed to make you think of surfing?

"What If...Frank Serpico Was An Agent of SHIELD?"

For sure! It usually starts out with "looks like someone is..." LITERALLY doing or saying what they're doing or saying. Let me try this out. *ahem* "It looks like PlanBFromOuterSpace isn't a fan of nonsensical jokes that aren't jokes."

This reminds me, there was a time when I was at work and someone asked what time it was, so I did the old "It's time for YOU to get a watch!" response, selling it like I'd invented the phrase, but the real joke became when I used it as my response to EVERYTHING for the entire rest of the day from "What's for lunch?" To "Did we get those test results back?".

I threw this on the other night, and while I recall seeing it a lot when I was younger, I barely remembered anything from this aside from the mine and blimp stuff. It barely held my interest, I started doing other stuff, and the next thing I knew it was over. It did seem overly quippy though, like Bond had some shitty comeback for everything that didn't even make sense half the time.

Look, besides her being black, I really don't see anything else that they have in common.

The French guy that "has a fly in his soup" (The fuck? Doesn't even make sense...) had some of the worst ADR I've ever seen. I'm old enough to remember when this movie was new, but not old enough to know if it was in any way controversial or if the Walken character was based on any specific person. I say this because I just started watching it on Netflix, and after the MGM logo there's a blurb that says "Neither the name 'Zorin' nor any other name or character in this film is meant to portray a real company or actual person". Anyone know what that's about? The Bond series has hated the shit out of the Russians for decades, but THEY never got a disclaimer or apology, so it seems weird that there'd be a disclaimer.
