Good Movies / Re: Recent Viewings, Part 2
Last post by FatFreddysCat - August 14, 2026, 09:09:58 PM"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.

Bad Movies / Re: Way OT: Gas Prices
Last post by Dalmatian Bobby Samaritan - August 14, 2026, 07:54:17 PMYay. I finally did something right!
"Project Blue Beam" picture — I pulled from the Web is actually the Eskimo nebula.
I guess it is more politically correct to get the Eskimo nebula picture, something that is of course in outer space and hundreds of light years from earth and call it "Project Blue Beam." Because saying the word Eskimo would be offensive to eskimos or people. I mean I didn't name it that. Scientists did. I feel like there is some irony there though. We have to be so conscience constantly of what we say and how we say it, that the big picture things swamp us. Like Gas prices. Hey I could be wrong, perhaps gas prices are something that will always be out of our call and jurisdiction.
Yeah it is weird when you get into Gas price discussions with people nowadays. Like if they are several states away from you. Almost like they want to pretend like Four dollars a gallon is cheap. Or they quickly change the subject. We are magnificently burnished in our Stockholm Syndrome. I have been rear ended too. I feel like the rear ending phenomenon is actually a sign of denial in people.
If you have to buy your next tank of gas from people who look like this..Then. Well anyway I think that this is where it is heading.

Last post by M.10rda - August 14, 2026, 07:23:22 PMThis was a timely bump. Gas back over $4 in WNY, and like "Dean" (whose avatar is da bomb), above, I too just got rear-ended on my way home from work.

Last post by Dalmatian Bobby Samaritan - August 14, 2026, 07:23:14 PMQuote from: LordGraal on November 23, 2025, 05:11:30 AMNot many films make me angry but this one does. I think it's the worse Star Wars cash-in of the time. At least films like War of the Robots tried to have some excitement in them. This is so shoddily made in all departments I can't even call it so-bad-it's-good. The effects are amateurish. They don't even bother with laser effects - any of the lame battles are fought using cattle prods. The location used to represent various planets is just scrubland. The writing and pacing is immensely childlike, lazy and boring and the cast clearly have problems mustering any enthusiasm - who could blame them. Attaching Wells' name to it is the ultimate insult.
1979, the same year as the book The Brethren (The Inside the Supreme Court book written by Bob Woodward and Scott Armstrong) was written? Ok. A worse cash in than Mandalorian and Grogu or Chuck Schumer farting on the Senate house floor while giving his Iran speech? Are you saying that you would have loved to stand behind that?
So correct me if I am wrong but Boba Fett was the bad guy right and yoda was the the good guy.
Or is it the opposite? And a Shape of Things to come was a book written by H.G. Wells. Never read it but I suppose that each is entitled to their opinion. I mean how about all of those Land Before Time sequels that went straight to video that were nothing more than merchandising shark schemes. And I loved Land Before Time and I generally hate cartoons. So explain that.I guess I am a little confused as to what a cash in is these days. I mean if it is Star Wars, who cares. That movie has made a ton already. (Why can't we be talking about a Cash in for Boys From Brazil or The Da Vinci Code. This movie that you are talking about was made only two years after the release of the original star wars. Tell me about a Cash in on Ivanhoe. How about Shirley maclaine's cash in on her belief that she can communicate with aliens from Zeta Reticuli or the Pleiadians.)

One more thing to worry about is that the earth's magnetic field has decreased by about 10% over the last century. It has been unusually stable over the last few millenia, not flipping on its usual cycle. If'when it does flip, it will "power down" first, exposing us to lots of solar radiation, and then apparently the reveresed poles will play havoc with all our electronic gizmos.
We're doomed, doomed I tell ya. Doooooomed.
Thanks for being candid. Our own homeland might be the next tag word to go along with God Bless you Glenn.
I avoid all of the vamps. But the shabbos and the tradcucks I hear are not so easily warded or fended off. Not by garlic and not by zombie popeye tattoos and not by Cole Hauser cologne. The actor Cole Hauser kind of bothers me. I have always wondered if he was some kind of paranormal entity. He plays one so well in the movies. When you get sleep deprived, just about anything can become some kind of creepy thing — like stuck in a perpetual Exxon Valdez oil spill. There's also that dreaded thing called the creeper which invades olive vats and can bounce basketballs. Cognitive behavioral therapy? Perhaps we have to have zombies and for them and vampires, write separate checks. Ah prudent measures, prudent measures.
I think vampires could be a nice change of pace. We live in blasphemous times. Its almost like hidden. Just even knowing that Konami made this.
It's like the old "God Bless you Glenn" when you come on with a chat handle named Alucard. Ok. I reverse my stance, actually I loathe vampires. I take the zombies.
Yeah, so the young of whale sharks develop inside of eggs, but why can't the zombies like Eric Adams or Alethea Duncan develop anywhere. It is dimming.

it's not mentioned in that clip, was it supposed to be?
when Peter, Michael, and Samir decide to take revenge by infecting Initech's accounting system with a computer virus designed by Michael to divert huge numbers of fractions of pennies into a bank account one of them says it's just like in the start of Superman 3

Last post by Dalmatian Bobby Samaritan - August 14, 2026, 05:27:04 PMFast and the Furious (One of them.) One of the ones with Dwayne Johnson or the Rock. And I am pretty sure that Dwayne Johnson isn't in all of the Fast and Furious movies. This one is going to take some work. And I might be wrong about it. But he or whoever his character is, goes to Britain and possibly London I am guessing. And he goes to a Police Station and he chauvinistically tries to take over the operations of the Police station. Kinda of a hilarious scene to me actually, and I am not really a fan of the Fast of the Furious. Like I said I will have to do some work to find out which one this is.
The Police Chief (I am assuming) gets up as Dwayne Johnson is trying to shake his hand and he says something like, "Well Wook at what we Ave Here! If It isn't Captain America!" Sarcastically as if he has just been greeted by the Prime Minister of Montenegro. Pretty funny (funnier and more on spot than the Highlander Name check. In my opinion.) Actually I think the line would have been funnier in my opinion if the Police chief would have said "if it isn't the Prime Minister of Montenegro." Maybe the Rock would have punched him in the face, who knows. Captain America is actually pretty endearing and complimentary.

I've seen Office Space like twelve times and I don't remember them saying anything about SuperMan III. I remember an Eddie Murphy comedy skit once where he mentioned it because he was doing a joke about Richard Pryor. Seems like I remember some love romance movie. Maybe Harry Met Sally or perhaps some Woody Allen movie where they keep referencing or name checking Harold and Maude. Gosh I wish I could remember what that movie was! Maybe Annie Hall?

Last post by Dalmatian Bobby Samaritan - August 14, 2026, 03:59:13 PMYeah I mean I am not knocking the writers for Masters of the Universe. I am glad that there is employment for these people. Especially in this economy, it is great I guess — I would rather them working on this than I guess doing something else.
Good analogy about the Broth. You are making me hungry now. I guess I really don't sweat this stuff anymore. I have gotten to where — if a movie is 25 percent watchable then I can literally create the other part of it. Almost like CRISPR gene editing. Of course me doing that hurts the rewatch ability of it. But hey alls fair in love and war. It is like when I saw C. Thomas Howell recently at some theatre talking about himself and his movies. And someone asked him about Gettysburg. She said she was a teacher and that she showed Gettysburg to her class. And C Thomas Howell said, "Oh YOU Poor thing!! That..Uh..That is like over three hours long!" I'm like dude, Gettysburg may actually be your best movie. I wonder what is going on in these people's heads. Like maybe it is something worse than a broth and perhaps there such a thing as too much motivation. Maybe there is some truth to these theories about how these people are trying to erect the Tower of Babel again..I sort of miss the good old days when the discussion was about too much violence in movies. Now the discussion is about how we have to be the Missionaries for hollywood because they care more about private investment than telling a story.
Someone needs to do a Golden corral smash on these people's heads.

QuoteThe Origin of 'Clam Up?'Stupid but semi charming poem I just read about oysters. I mean why can't these Bay type movies do something fun like that?
Clams are shy, taciturn,
restrained.
They don't flaunt their pleasure
or pain.
Clams are cloisterous.
They are not boisterous.
if they were, they'd be ...
oysterous
