Non-political things that make you say...WTF?!?! (Welcome To Florida!) **NOT CV RELATED** NO TALKY!

We are now mortal enemies as everyone knows it’s...

1. The Sandlot
2. The Goonies
3. Ghostbusters
4. Big Trouble in Little China
5. Smokey and the Bandit

 

This list needs 100% more Kelly's Heroes.

 

Pee Wees Big Adventure.

For us as kids it was “COMBAT with Vic Morrow.”


It was great as we were living in dependent housing in Pattonville while my father was stationed in Germany. As soon as the episode was over all the kids would pile out into the courtyard and act it out, the Air Force dependent kids were always made to be the nazis. Good times.

Not the new one with all the triggered chicks, right?

The last movie I saw in a theater that really blew me away was The Matrix, and that was what? 20 years ago?

I haven't seen anything recently that hit that level of Great Movie.

Even the ones that I think maybe could do that again always seem to disappoint, not by being bad, but just not being as good as I had hoped (Pacific Rim, Avengers Endgame, Alita Battle Angel, Spiderman Far From Home) and I can't count the number of "Blockbusters" that come out that I have Zero interest in seeing.

So it's obvious that either I've gotten a lot more fickle in my old age or Hollywood is generally putting out crap (like the girl-power Ghostbusters being a prime example of "Why would I want to pay to see Hollywood ruin a good movie by updating it to be PC?"

Or simply updating a great movie (Schwarzenegger Total Recall) into an utter steaming turd (Colin Farrell Total Recall) that couldn't be saved despite featuring Fantasy Goddess Kate Bekinsale.

All that said, I did indeed like Big Trouble and Smokey and The Bandit

 

Remakes are all garbage.

 

the original vanishing point...

 

I think the hardest I've ever laughed at a movie was when a bunch of us went to see the original Porky's in the theater.

I was actually underage (as were a couple of others) but nobody checked ID then.

We were physically hurting from laughing so hard.

 

Full Metal Jacket

 

I saw American Pie while deployed to Bosnia in a multinational role, with folks from about 40 different countries in the little theatre we had. The funniest part of that was the non-native English speakers laughing about 5 seconds after the native English speakers because they were busy translating the movie in their heads. Three of my British buds and I were laughing more at the French than the movie, and we liked the movie.

 

You are wrong Sir!
Scarface, The Thing, The Departed, The Fly, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Heat and so on.

 

Dirty Larry And Crazy Mary and White Lightning

 

its not a new movie but I just watched for the first time last night " The Worlds Fastest Indian" based on a true story, good movie to watch if your not doing anything.

GUTHRIE, Okla. (AP) — Police in Oklahoma say they found a rattlesnake, a canister of radioactive powdered uranium and an open bottle of Kentucky Deluxe whiskey during a traffic stop of a vehicle that had been reported stolen.

The traffic stop happened June 26 in Guthrie, about 30 miles (45 kilometers) north of Oklahoma City. Guthrie police Sgt. Anthony Gibbs told Oklahoma City TV station KFOR that police don’t know why the uranium was in the vehicle or how it was obtained, though uranium ore can be bought on Amazon.

Gibbs says police also found a gun in the console and a terrarium in the backseat containing a pet Timber rattlesnake.

Gibbs says the driver, Stephen Jennings, was charged with possession of a stolen vehicle, transporting an open container of liquor and driving with a suspended license.

Jennings remains jailed in Logan County.
