It’s not bad. Not great, but not bad. Better that _Gorillas in the Mist_, by the same director.

_The Last Action Hero_. I found it rather comic yet self-mocking and critical of the genre that Ahnuld created in the first place.

_Hopscotch_. I still don’t know why that’s considered a bad movie.

_Lucky Lady_. OK, it really bit. But I had a very interesting time with the girl I took to see it.

For some reason, I have watched _Krull_ like 20 times. It is corny, predictable, the special effects are horrible, but for some reason, it fascinates me. It’s like candy corn - grotesque, yet irresistible.

I also like _Conan the Destroyer_ and _Willow_, god help me. And I am _not_ a fantasy person (except for LOTR).

I have to confess a certain liking for some of the movies they run on the Disney Channel: _Double Teamed_, _Motorcrossed_, hell, even _The Luck of the Irish_ has a few laughs…

Do you ever find yourself kinda sorta hoping they’d make _Krull 2_?

I know I do.

Well, Labyrinth, Grease, and Beastmaster were already mentioned. I have no shame in these.

But I have Victor/Victoria on tape.

You should be very afraid, **Jean Grey** , because I love that movie and it has already been established that my taste really sucks!

(And someone’s doing a story that looks like a quasi-remake. I saw a commercial for it last night.)

Ahhhh if only I owned the DVD, I could quote it all day long. As is, this is the only segment I can vaguely remember:

_after briefing the army on the plan to infiltrate Bison’s Base, and rescue the hostages_

Soldier: But sir, who will lead such an attack? Only a loose cannon, a person who has gone insane would attempt such an attack.

Guile: Luckily, Bison has driven me out of my mind.

Yeah, I know I got it wrong. Anyways, it’s the way they say the lines that make it the funniest thing ever 😃 .
