386 - The Giant/Space/Buzzard Elements Don't Worry Me Much, "Raiders Of The Crushed Ark", Unsafe At Any Pace, By The Divine Hand Of Aphrodite, and "Beclowned"

[‎11:50 AM] Mr. Silver:
Looking it up just based on this: “any movie bold enough to feature a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD is a movie worth watching.”
Can't find their rating rules
[‎12:15 PM] Ms. Rose:
My dad is going to LOVE this site.
[‎12:20 PM] Mr. Brown:
[‎12:20 PM] Mr. Silver:
Easy enough in the end based on the ones I knew...Skull is unbelievably bad, and the drops add up.  
[‎12:24 PM] Mr. Brown:
Looks like an old vulture from HR Puff n Stuff
lol
[‎12:29 PM] Mr. Silver:
Anti-matter. 
"No one will be admitted during the "buzzard detonates like a supernova when entering Earth's atmosphere" scene."
(Kid looking in telescope) "Is it dangerous, doctor?  It looks big!"
(Scientist) "Yes Timmy, big enough to eat a commercial airliner.  However the direct conversion of energy as it comes into contact with Earth matter will leave the western hemisphere looking like a cracked and empty eggshell."
"Gee willikers!"
"Gee willikers indeed, Timmy.  If we're lucky it'll hit a satellite and merely damage the atmosphere enough as it explodes to drive us underground for a few decades to avoid rampant skin cancer and cosmic ray damage."
"Well that's good then."
"Right you are, Timmy."



[‎12:36 PM] Mr. Blue:
They should remake some Twilight Zones into full length movies
[‎12:37 PM] Mr. Silver:
Terminator was basically one, wasn't it?
[‎12:37 PM] Mr. Blue:
Outer Limits
[‎12:37 PM] Mr. Silver:
Ah
[‎12:37 PM] Mr. Blue:
It's kind of 2 different Outer Limits episodes
Demon with the Glass Hand and uhh... Soldier
The beginning of Soldier is identical to the flashback (or flash forward?) scenes in Terminator of the future... with like those roving hunter/killers and lasers in a desolate wasteland. it's pretty cool.
Cameron didn't even try to disguise it. If anything he tried to make it look as similar as possible
2 links there
[‎12:46 PM] Mr. Silver:
Yup
[‎12:48 PM] Mr. Blue:
Harlan Ellison wrote both, I think
[‎12:51 PM] Mr. Silver:
Ever see the frame-by-frame opening of Raiders of the Lost Ark thing? 
[‎1:03 PM] Mr. Blue:
Hmm.. no
[‎1:04 PM] Mr. Silver:
Rather cool
[‎1:04 PM] Mr. Blue:
Watching it now
I wonder if every one of these is intentional or if they were just stuck in Spielberg’s subconscious
[‎1:05 PM] Mr. Silver:
I believe it was all intentional
Been years since I watched it, but the conversation reminded me.
[‎1:06 PM] Mr. Blue:
Indy needed a MASSIVE pith helmet
[‎1:09 PM] Mr. Silver:
I've only seen those huge ones in movies.
Just went off searching to see if there are real ones
No luck.  Wonder if Hollywood found them as, like, oversized demo/models/advertisements from hat shops, or just built them.
[‎1:15 PM] Mr. Blue:
"If someone tries to walk out of here with our sacred amulet thingy we're gonna crush them and the amulet with a huge boulder"
[‎1:15 PM] Mr. Silver:
The god won't mind”
(long shot...full room...traps visible on floor as Indy approaches flattened dish-like idol on pedestal)
[‎1:17 PM] Mr. Blue:
LOL
[‎1:18 PM] Mr. Silver:
(Flunky) "Dr. Jones!  I thought we were after a figurine."
(Indy) "Shh...it just means someone was here before, checking it out...and checked out... (winning, smarmy grin over shoulder)"
I can't get the plane landing and takeoff from "Jungle Goddess" out of my head.  Ever watch that MST3K?
[‎1:38 PM] Mr. Blue:
I don't think so
[‎1:39 PM] Mr. Silver:
Steve Reeves was in it
(fight scene) "Man of steel, eh? (smack!) Give THIS to Perry White! (punch!)"
Anyway...
Whoever was in charge of making the "jungle" miniature did a fine job with foliage and little trees and such...like a big carpet of it.
Whoever was in charge of the "plane" miniature got a really nice detailed model.
But...
Whoever was in charge of the landing scene just rolled the plane over the target and mushed everything under it.  Plane would have to be nuclear powered, made of adamantium, and the jungle made of rubber to get a landing like that.
And it took off the same way.
[‎2:02 PM] Mr. Blue:
Was the plane scene at the beginning or end?
It's around 36:00
LOL
I see what you mean
Take off is 1:30:00
LOL
That's pretty outrageous
Crash-landing a plane in a jungle and then taking off with the same plane from the same jungle
It reminds me of a scene in some movie with John Leguizamo and Mark Wahlberg where he's getting chased by a car and he runs into the woods... and the car follows him into the woods...and the car is just sawing trees in half and it just keeps on going
Wait, it was Lou Diamond Phillips
[‎2:10 PM] Mr. Silver:
See how the plane just sort of levitates in and up at about 20 MPH?  Hehe
"We're getting up to taxiing speed!  Press that "up" button, sweetheart!"
[‎2:11 PM] Mr. Blue:
LOL
It’s like it's a helicopter



[‎1:29 PM] Ms. Rose:
I hope all this crap melts so I can stop ice skating to work. I would make a crack about jerks in town don't shovel their walks. But we are one of those jerks, so...
[‎1:31 PM] Mr. Silver:
Honestly, as a walker, if the temperature changes are right, the only safe sidewalks are the unshovelled ones, and the only really safe place to walk is on the street.
[‎1:32 PM] Ms. Rose:
Yes!
It's like: fast walk through 4 cement pieces that are clear, slow waaaay down and skate through the next 10 pieces of cement, fast walk again, dodge the one random frozen puddle, back to crawl pace...
[‎1:32 PM] Mr. Silver:
Which brings up my thought from this morning I forgot.
"It's not safe to walk the streets anymore."
(ponders)
"When and where has it EVER been safe to walk on streets?"
"There are cars, bikes, horses, trollies, wagons, oxen, stagecoaches..."
[‎1:34 PM] Ms. Rose:
LOL
[‎1:36 PM] Mr. Silver:
"The coroner's report was that he was walking the streets."
"What was he thinking? Its not safe!"



[‎3:27 PM] Mr. Brown:
Um, ok
[‎3:28 PM] Mr. Silver:
"Russian 16 year old boy wins puberty"
"A vast compilation of international rite-of-passage events, "scores", "wins", purity tests, and the like has been compiled as a universal reference, and this kid's achievement scored so high that it is not even on the scale as "possible"."
"Several ailing traditional and monarchical governments have offered Shedrin the throne as "king", citing the manifest divine hand of God in the Russian boy's fate."



[1:28 PM] Mr. Silver:
A headline really can't get much better than this: 
The writer used the word "beclowned" (swoon)
[1:29 PM] Mr. Blue:
Is that a tattoo?
[1:29 PM] Mr. Silver:
AND he was armed!  (squeeeee!)
Oh, I HOPE it is a tattoo, yes.  Ballpoint would be OK, but...
Good LORD this can't keep going like this!  (cries) -
he had smoked meth from a pipe left sitting on the counter.
Officers searched Worthington, and they said they found LSD wrapped in foil and some rolling papers. His book bag contained a jar of psychedelic mushrooms and a jar of marijuana, as well as a digital scale and gold box that contained still more pot and unidentified white powder, police said."
Sadly, no, it is not a tattoo.  But he should be encouraged.
They even ended it with a loopy quote from the guy. 
I'm so happy now.
