The movie was also a great showcase for the talents of Christopher Walken. One of the few films in which I could immerse myself 110%.
***The OdeSSa File *** was good too, but a lot of the material in the novel had to be trimmed out, unfortunately.
Nobody else has seen the Penthouse production Caligula I guess.
Oh wait, they have.
Oh, a truly bad movie? “Game Over, Man.” Stupid, boring, and WAY too much of Adam Devine’s penis.
Tainted water. The little girl said the water tastes funny. I don’t care what her family says.
Also an homage to Day of the Triffids.
And who cross interstellar distances to invade a world mostly covered with it.
The worst is that the movie had real potential up until that reveal.The worst is that the movie had real potential up until that reveal.
God to Mel Gibson: “Swing away??? The fuck. I didn’t say that to you. Is this some of that ‘work in mysterious ways’ bullshit?”
Huh, not sure why my last post is doubled. Maybe I’ll write a terrible screenplay about it.
Arnold in THE VILLAIN. Drove 25 miles to a theater to see because we lived in nowhere illinois. He was listed as “Handsome Stranger” The internet had barely been discovered. so no reviews.
Arnold? Not Academy Award nominated Kirk Douglas and Ann Margaret?
Ha…I forgot Paul Lynde played an American Indian in that.
The Hero, Sam Elliot, we hated ourselves for watching it thru to the end.
Ah, yes. I walked into that knowing nothing about it, obviously other than it’s some sort of medieval pic. Settled down, started to get into the suspension of disbelief, and got a big clue as to the tone when Wat* abuses the recently departed Sir Ector. Then Thatcher rides into the arena and… Queen? After about thirty seconds of shock my brain comes up with, so much for verisimilitude and a just sat back to enjoy the ride.
Like you, though, I found Jocelyn a poor catch. Shoulda been, “What? Throw the match to prove my love? My friends who’ve stood by me far longer than you have their life savings riding on me, you stupid cow! You’re not that hot!”
Oh, and how appropriate Roland grew up to rule the Seven Kingdoms for a while.
*This was the first time I’d noticed Alan Tudyk.
I borrowed a “Film Noir” collection from my local library a couple weeks ago and it included “The Naked Kiss” starring Constance Bennett.
The acting was awful, the plot was pathetic and they even managed to add singing. It was laughably awful.
It’s basically a 90-minute live-action Road Runner cartoon (even duplicating several of Wile E. Coyote’s ploys). I enjoyed it, but then, I was 14. 
I’ve not seen it, but a friend of mine has. He didn’t hate it, but he concurred that it was interesting that a film could have so much nudity (and of an extremely attractive woman, at that), and yet not be particularly titillating.
That would be Constance Towers, not Bennett. The Naked Kiss is a cult film with an incredible opening sequence. Its exploration of the dark underside of small town life - including child abuse - is very unusual for a movie released in 1964. That said, it’s not for all tastes.
The whole “Let’s take a concept/book series/tv show beloved by millions and take a great big dump on it to show how cool we are” genre. Lone Ranger, Wild, Wild West, Dark Shadows, Land Of The Lost, The Avengers, CHiPS and I don’t know how many others.
Another vote for Eraserhead

Don’t. Just don’t.
Trust me.
Clancy Brown is interviewed for Random Roles on the AV club today. He talks about being asked to do Highlander 2, and refusing. Apparently Christopher Lambert called him and asked him personally, but the ten pages of script he was given were a mess. When he told Lambert, the reply was “But I wrote those” In his words, “I’ll do shit for money and quality for no money, but I will not do shit for no money.”
