I think RCM was setting me straight, not Chainsaw.

I defer to you, RC! I didn't claim I saw LONDON AFTER MIDNIGHT on 8MM or VHS....... I only claimed that catalogues used to advertise it for sale!

Who knows what you'd receive if you actually ordered it from them.......          ...Guess I'll never find out.......

In that case,  I hate to tell you this, but LONDON AFTER MIDINGHT's last known surviving print was destroyed in a nitrate fire at MGM in 1965.

Baby Sister (1983) - I used to take a martial arts class that involved a lot of two person drills. For a while, I for some reason kept getting paired with Sonja, a beautiful Spanish kickboxer. It was the best. I imagine the guy in this movie who has an affair with then 19 year old Phoebe Cates must have felt the same way about going in to work. Much like "Summer Girl", which I watched the previous night which was also from 1983, this is kind of "70's style 80's". It still feels like the late 70's, but they go jogging and take aerobics.

Phoebe Cates arrives in LA and immediately her older sister's boyfriend starts to make some internal calculations. He is actually sort of charming in a dorky/mature/ intelligent sort of way, but he's had enough of the older sister and her art gallery career. It's very soap opera ish in places, especially the end, and would have been unbearable if it was anyone else but the Pheebster as the star.

Not as campy as Summer Girl, tubi's print isn't that great. They are both utterly forgotten, insignificant movies that I nonetheless enjoyed quite a bit. Cates is hesitant about dating a 31 year old guy, but in real life she got married at 25 to a 41 year old: actor Kevin Cline.

Should have won an Oscar for Bubba Ho-Tep. That is a hill I'm willing to die on.

Don't disagree.

A USEFUL GHOST (2025): A man falls for a vacuum cleaner possessed by the ghost of his dead wife. The beginning of this absurdist-realism feature presents itself as a whimsical romantic comedy, but the script reveals darker purposes when the 2010 Thai military crackdown that killed almost 200 people becomes a plot point. 3.5/5.

I have been wondering about that one

Recommended to art-house audiences who love eccentricity.

Have you considered substituting a King Tiger with a M-47 with a Robert Shaw figure in the hatch?

 Technically, I don't have a US military force (Kristi does and she let's me borrow hers if I need anything from it). She does have a Patton in there though. Well, two Pattons. One figure of the general, and one of the tank.
