In Wayne's World 2 (1993), Wayne creeps out Garth by doing a silly, repetitive voice imitating Warwick Davis's titular character from the horror movie Leprechaun (1993), shouting, "I'm the leprechaun!" while Garth begs him to stop.

I recently bought a hybrid. I wanted a regular Toyota Camry but they didn't have any. It ended up being a real blessing in disguise situation.

I assume you are consciously gesturing to OUT ON A LIMB, the two-part/four-hour miniseries from the 80s adapted from MacLaine's own memoir and starring MacLaine as herself. I endured the first evening for the aliens but there were no aliens in Part 1, only romantic melodrama. On night 2 I think I made it 25 minutes in and then nodded off and missed the aliens.  :bluesad:

Good Movies / The End of Oak Street (2026)
Last post by WingedSerpent - August 14, 2026, 10:53:54 PM
In the Early 1980's a suburb finds itself transported back in time to the age of the dinosaurs.

This was a pretty enjoyable movie. In a lot of ways its what Jurassic World Dominion should have been. Dinosaurs and modern humans interacting and that being the central plot. It can be pretty mean spirited at points.  There's some blood and gore I wasn't expecting.

Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor give good performances, but their both professionals. They star as a couple who are clearly going through a rough patch in their marriage. I thought the kid actors just did fine. Just fine.

Biggest flaw is the CGI. It doesn't always look so great.  There are several dinosaur species on display as well as a few other prehistoric animals.  The are done with modern deceptions of dinosaurs in mind. I feel the movie missed out on a joke seeing as how much our idea of these animals have changed since the 80s. You could have had someone joke about how dinosaurs didn't have feathers.

I'd say this is worth a watch. I had a good time.

SALEM'S LOT (2024) - I caught this remake of the classic Stephen King vampire story on HBO Max tonight. It's been a long time since I read the book, but this was a pretty good movie - a little tamer than it could have been, but quite watchable.  4/5

It's about $3.59 here in Texas right now.  Just before Trump started his useless war with Iran, it was down to about $2.19 - not as cheap as it was during COVID, but quite livable.  It shot up to nearly $4 a gallon here right after the Iran war started, but it's settled down some since then.

Quote from: zombie no.one on July 28, 2025, 03:03:41 PMIn WILD BEASTS (1983) a guy picks up his regular landline phone and makes a call to his buddy in a car on his CB radio....

I'm no tech guy but I don't think that was ever a thing?


--- @Rev.Powell should this thread be moved to 'bad movies' for more traction?


Actually if you are a member of the Bilderbergers you can call Mulder and Scully from a landline that links to a Global hawk. And then links to a star diamond capacitor disk on your hand. That was linked to a consciousness reading on your chest. That then could do an ultra wavelength entraferometer to Alpha Centauri. Then all of the Glucox phenos beings would hear it. Then it would possibly go to a CB radio or whatever the script of the movie demanded.

Ok, actually in a way I think I (or you and I) have actually just described the plot to Masters of the Universe 2026. It is not disconcordant. It makes perfect sense. It is like Sampras backhand. Or Pete Sampras (I saw a guy today who looked just like him, since someone else is talking about their rear ending story. Today I saw someone who looked just like Pete Sampras.) Yeah I mean it is the backhand. That explains Independence Day too. You don't have to get into all of that Windows XP and computing wiz nonsense. Aliens use computers. Sure I buy that and those computers can be hacked into. Sure.
It is the Pete Sampras backhand. AkA Gabriel Knight needs to explain to us the technology of the three stooges because now he looks like a legitimate stooge.

"UHF" (1989)
A perpetual slacker (Weird Al Yankovic) lands the job of his dreams when he's hired as the new station manager of U-62, a low rated, low watt TV channel. His unorthodox program ideas become ratings sensations, leading to friction with the corporate major-network affiliate on the other end of town.
Weird Al's feature debut is like flipping through an issue of MAD magazine, with rapid fire jokes and parodies delivered by a stacked cast incl. a pre-"Seinfeld" Michael Richard's, Fran Drescher, Kevin McCarthy, and Victoria Jackson of "SNL."
"UHF" was a box office bomb when it was released but it's gone on to become a cult classic since then.
