Thunder in Paradise. 

It was a one season show in the 90s starring Hulk Hogan, who traveled around the world and fought crime with his partner and their special high tech boat.  The thing was pure cheese. It was the kind of show that made Baywatch look deep and subtle. 

There was a bizarre light gun game based on that show for the Phillips CD-i, of all things. It had tons of video footage of the cast and you had to fight a cyborg or something like that.

Okay, that's just all kinds of funky weird.

Good Movies / Re: Recent theatrical viewings

Last post by Rev. Powell - Today at 09:07:07 AM

Went to see the BACKROOMS expanded edition. As expected, inessential and mainly for fans of the YouTube series (which I never watched past the first episode). Still, the theater was packed (it was the smallest room in the house and didn't sell out on discount Tuesday, but still). Some people obviously hadn't seen it previously, judging by the gasps and "WTF"s. Most people left before the post-credits bonus sequence. If you haven't seen it yet, this edition is worthwhile. I wouldn't make a trip simply for the extra footage unless (like me) you really liked it and want to see it again.

Well there aren't that many historical movies set in the ancient past (and that is counting Roland Emmerich and biblical epics as historical, which is a stretch). So big jumps in the beginning were to be expected. As ist is, we're at 15 and we're still in Roman times.

15. Gladiator (2000)

set in 180 AD

We blew right past SPARTACUS. Oh well.

There have been some big time jumps, but nowhere near as bad as I feared. I was afraid people wouldn't read the rules and we might be in the 20th century already!

14. The Last Days of Pompeii (1959) - set in 79 AD.
