560 - Roachinator, "Old Gun", "You Must Think About Your Search Terms In Russian", A "The" Can Make A Lot Of Difference

[8:52 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
I watched a director's cut of Terminator 2... lots of added scenes.
Most of them useless.
One was a dream sequence with Reese...just dragged the story down. 
One cool sequence is that in the first half they do something to the t-800's CPU so that he can begin to learn and adapt, and they added in a couple later scenes that show him doing just that (mostly just making facial expressions and conveying sarcasm)
[8:53 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
You always know with films like that they over complicate it in the beginning
then edit the shit out of it
Especially since it is the 2nd movie
[8:54 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
You know the scene where John calls his foster parents and the terminator mimics his voice and asks if "Wolfie" is all right when the dog's name is Max to trick the T1000?  They added a scene that shows the T-1000 going out and ripping the dog's collar off and realizing he's been duped
[8:55 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Some small scenes would be ok to leave in, like that maybe
Cause that scene would have been funny
[8:55 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
yeah
[8:56 AM]
Funny?
[8:56 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
They also contemplate killing the Terminator early on while they're repairing his CPU
and Sarah comes close to doing so, but John stops her
I didn't finish it... apparently the ending is entirely different too
[8:58 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
They should make a post nuke “Planet of the Roaches”
Get your mandibles off me you damned dirty roach!”
What if they rewrote Terminator to include nuclear roaches?
Like they are controlling the machines. lol
That is the twist
They've been in them for years, rewiring the circuitry
[9:00 AM] 
If Skynet had gone small scale there'd have been no war...
A roach-sized Terminator with a shaped charge...
That's all it needed.
Programmed to follow until people fall asleep...bring in a bunch.  BLAM
But hey...if they did that then the robot apocalypse would have been no fun at all.
(Electric flashing in an alley...old street bum says "What the Hell?   What the Hell?"  Smoke clears...meat pouch opens to reveal 10 roaches. They climb into the nearest phone booth and start leafing through the white pages...)
Sarah "Can you kill them?" 
Kyle "I dunno...with these boots?  ...I dunno..."
Neither do I, really.
It's not a terrible plot idea
Assassin Bugs from the future
[9:07 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
Why even kill humans?
Make bugs that implant in brains and control 'em
At least until we're unnecessary
[9:07 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
The Roachinator slowly lowering into a pit of molten steel
Little antenna sticking up
[9:08 AM] 
Lowered into a beaker on a string...holds up a leg
"Mom?  That bug has your face."
**stomp**



[9:41 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
There is a Top Gun 2 in the works
Val is going to be in it
The fun part will be explaining his odd neck and voice box issues
Maybe Iceman was shot down but survived
Watch Iceman come into frame wearing a floral scarf heheh
[9:53 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
He has a voice box?
They're both probably too old to be flying still
Maybe they'll be trainers or something, and something will happen and they’ll have to come out of retirement.
Or maybe one's a trainer and the other's an airline pilot now, but they miss the game
Maverick is doing tower flybys in 747s
[9:57 AM] 
Never saw it.
Only liked the Berlin song
Couldn't give a damn
[9:58 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
It's a pretty stupid movie but it's enjoyable
[9:59 AM] 
"I feel the need...the need to secure the fuel interlock on this tanker to that F-35."
"And fly steady."
"Right."
[10:00 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Iceman over the coms to Maverick - inaudible "ffffffff".
Maverick "What's that Iceman? Is that Marlon Brando in your cockpit" ”
[10:03 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
Iceman's really hit the skids and he's a crop duster in North Platte, Nebraska now
Instead of beach volleyball it'll be golf
Still to Kenny Loggins' "Playin' With The Boys"
[10:08 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
lol
[10:08 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
The gayest song ever
[10:09 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Mav to Iceman "You think we should get a cart?"
Iceman gives a sideways look to mav as if to say “What the F you think?”
[10:09 AM] 
"Hey!  I'm the official Top Flite golf pro on this course!"
(Montage of walking course, bending over, wheezing, and stretching by hole 5.)  "Take my breath a-waaaaayyyy...."
This is turning into an 80s romp comedy
Caddyshack with old fighter pilots and their protege's having a golf contest to see who is the Top Gun
[10:16 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Iceman putts just to the edge of hole 18.
Everybody looking around
Suddenly a jet flys by
Ball goes in the hole
lol
[10:16 AM] 
"Take the shot, kid!"
[10:26 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Iceman hits one in the bunker
Danger Zone starts playing
The best part would be them having songs from the original as like ringtones on their phones
lol



[10:16 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
I always liked Iron eagle more than Top Gun
Something about strapping on a cassette player and blaring music while fighting in jets just seemed cooler
[10:33 AM] 
Wow...”Iron Eagle”
Serious fantasy, that one.
Not that I didn't enjoy it, but wow
(looks up)
"He wasn't accepted into the Air Force because he needs to listen to music in order to hit a target."
(AF commander) "Let me get this straight... this kid can miss with an air-to-air seeking missile?  Get him off my base.  He's like a cooler but for fighter planes."
[10:38 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
I never saw Iron Eagle
There were a a few films in the 80s that used b-roll dogfight footage
Firefox with Eastwood
Flight of the Intruder maybe?
[10:39 AM] 
Firefox” I liked.  I read the book, I believe.
It was a much more serious film
Bit o spy thriller... Bit o sci-fi... Bit o action. 
Consequences...
Wrong people die...
[10:43 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
Firefox is Sci fi?
[10:43 AM] 
Cyber-controlled supersonic fighter planes? Yeah.
[10:44 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
I've never seen it. Didn't know it had sci fi in it
[10:44 AM]
Nod.  Tech that was both reasonable yet still slightly ahead of what we have now.
Getting close though
The new F-35 is a "5th generation" fighter. 
The Firefox is just a nudge further in speed, stealth and user interface.
There was no point in the Americans trying to steal one...they could never make it work...the plane would ignore the pilot.
So they pick Eastwood because one of his qualifications is he's fluent in Russian and can think in Russian to match the audio controls.
[10:46 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
He flies that web browser like a Ruskie!



[10:46 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
I have Danger Zone in my head now
I feel like getting up and running really fast making plane sounds
lol
[10:49 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
I have Playin With The Boys stuck in my head
[10:49 AM] 
Sorry about this...
(Bill Badalato) "Kenny...you have to put the word 'the' in here."
(Loggins) "But it messes up the flow of the lyrics.  Why?"
[10:51 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
lol
[10:52 AM] 
(sigh) "Ok...you can leave it as Playin' With Boys, but we'll need a woman to sing it.  Let's find out if Linda Ronstadt is available or something"
"What?  Why!?"
"Also...Danger Zone.  Change "his" to "her"."
[10:55 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Gonna take a highway to her danger zone
[10:55 AM] 
(have to know the lyrics for that one...)
"Her?  It's about macho planes."
"Yeeeaaaah.  Make the references female, sailor.  What else you have written for this?"
[10:56 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Totally. You know, you have to spread her wings... before you fly...
[10:57 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
The lyrics are really gay... like there's nothing wrong with that, but they are
I like the beginning guitar
hu! hu! hu! hu!  bew dew dew bew d-dew-d-dew bew bew dew
[11:00 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
da da
lol
Well they are boys, and they are playing
[11:04 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
"bodies working overtime" ?
"when someone's on your mind" ?
I think it'd be a little less gay if it was "guys" instead of "boys"
[11:07 AM] 
(Elvis)  "I...I dunno, man..."
[11:07 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
After chasing sunsets
One of life's simple joys
Is the boys
I don't wanna be obsessed by my desire
With the boys
[11:08 AM] 
"See...right here, Kenny.  Add a 'the' in front of 'boys' in these lines."
"I still don't see it."
"Ok... picture Auntie Mame singing it."
"Okay..."
"Then Liberace singing it."
"O- ... ... HOLY SHIT!” (Kenny scrambles for a pen)
Still terribly gay though
[11:13 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
Even the Village People were more subtle
[11:15 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
After chasing sunsets one of life's simple joys is my boys
I don't wanna be obsessed by my desire with my boys”
Hanging boys.
It's a song about his balls
[11:19 AM] 
lol
