The Deer Hunter

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077416/

Don't know if it has aged well but when it came out it I thought it was an excellent film. Had some intense scenes. Looks like it's got an 8.1 on IMDb.

And that reminded me of Time After Time that I MUST SEE AGAIN,a twist on the time machine story where H.G. Wells is forced to use his own time machine to go after Jack The Ripper who uses it to escape to 1970's San Francisco.

I loved how they thought we'd be living in a socialist utopia.

Started watching "Explorers" with the kids.

River Phoenix, Ethan Hawke when they were young.

This movie really captured my imagination as a kid.

That title Blue Thunder, reminded me of Rolling Thunder, a film that came out in the 70's. If you see it, you will never forget it. It stars a young William Devane, this is before Dallas, and a young Tommy Lee Jones in one of his first roles.

The basic premise is William Devane is a Vietnam Vet and he returns home, I believe Texas, and the towns people want to honor him so they give him a $1000 in silver dollars and have a ceremony downtown. From there, just imagine what might happen in a redneck town. It's fair movie, but it has an ending that you will never forget. I think it will pop up on one of the premium channels now and then.

I saw the original Walking Tall in the theater and never wanted to see it again. Not because it wasn't good, but because it was so brutal. It elevated Joe Don Baker from a level C actor to a top level B actor. The remake I think it was with The Rock, was awful, don't waste your time.

I'm still waiting after 50 years of watching movies to find a remake that is equal to or greater than the original.

It's the laziest form of film making and Hollywood has gotten real lazy these last 10-15 years.

Yes! It was actually on Prime. “Prince Charles is a bundle of sticks!” LMAO It was a fun flick. And the music selection and placement was superb, especially when it cuts to the credits. Worthy enough of a rewatch when I stumble across it some where down the line.

Glad you enjoyed it.

My favorite aspect was the relationship between David and Jack, especially after Jack was undead. I loved it when he was whining about his dream girl hopping in bed with an asshole after his funeral. Life mocks me even in death! LMAO

Undead Jack was indeed great. And something unique in the werewolf genre.

Buehler445 10-16-2019 04:04 PM

I ran across one I hadn't thought of in years.

I don't know how it has aged, I'd imagine not well. In critics eyes I'm sure it would be blasted.

But Just One of the Guys (1985) is a pretty ambitious flick, especially for 1985. This gal thinks that all the good jobs go to guys, so she dresses up like a guy and goes to high school. There have been other movies that took a similar type movies since, but they were far more Disney-fied.

This movie is pretty upfront about the struggles between women and men, dudes getting bullied for femine features, and of course, romance dynamics and so on and so forth.

These days, it would be crucified by the LGBTQWOEVBNOUIBNW community and would probably never get made, frankly, but this is an interesting look into gender differences.

But the real reason I remember it...

Joyce Hyser is 61 years old and never married.

http://media.gettyimages.com/photos/...7092?s=612x612


Some trivia:

Bruce Springsteen saw Joyce Hyser at a party in L.A. during his 1978 tour. Bruce asked Gary Busey to introduce them and she traveled with him on the rest of the tour.

I saw that movie about 5 times, usually when flipping channels and then I watch the remainder. I don't think I've ever sat down and watched from beginning to end.

Found that she has never been married, and there are tons of photos of her and Rosanna Arquette all over each other. I think her and Rosanna are bi-friends. Arquette was a strange one. A guy in Toto wrote the song Rosanna because of her but they broke up. Peter Gabriel around the time of the 'So' album bought her a $40,000 engagement ring, but they broke up. I think the guys would find out she likes girls and guys both and then split.

As far as Joyce Hyser, it looks like her acting days are over. Her last TV work was a 2011 small part of CSI and she had a small part in a 2014 movie called The Wedding Pact. There are dozens and dozens of photos like these going way back.

Always was very good, Hunter and Dreyfus remind of two others from that era. Broadcast News with Holly Hunter was good, but her voice can get on your nerves. I lived in Atlanta when I saw Broadcast News in the theater and girls there don't even speak that bad. I think she puts it on. Richard Dreyfus was excellent in Stakeout with Emilo Estevez, I just saw that again recently, there was a sequel, not so good.

Streets of Fire (1984)-- mainly because of Diane Lane whom I have been in love with forever...but the movie itself is incredibly dumb.

One of my favorites is Howard Hughes's 1930 classic Hell's Angles. The female lead was played by (Kansas City's own) an 18 year old Jean Harlow. While the dialogue is pretty schmaltzy, the dog-fighting aerial scenes are almost beyond belief. In fact there were many crashes and deaths. It even has a zeppelin in the movie!!

Weird Science from 1985 was a decent teen flick, especially with Kelly LeBrock. It kick-started Bill Paxton's career and the soundtrack was by Oingo Boingo, fronted by Danny Elfman, which lead to a big career in soundtracks for him. He has been married to Bridget Fonda for many years, which is a nice benny.

Kelly LeBrock now, I think she had one too many cosmetic surgeries.

Weird Science is a classic, one of my childhood favs. She was also in "Woman in Red" with Gene Wilder which was pretty damn funny.

I saw Willy Wonka the other day for the first time in a long time. The original not the awful Depp Wonka. It holds up so well. I cannot stand musicals but even I like the musical sections of it.

When you said Red, I immediately thought of another very overlooked 80's comedy, The Man with One Red Shoe. That film was hilarious, anything with Dabney Coleman cracks me up. I guess he's retired now just like Gene Hackman. This one was one of Tom Hanks early leading comedy roles, came out in '85. He was great in those comedies. It also has Carrie Fisher, Jim Belushi, a beautiful Lori Singer and Charles Durning.

Fantastic movie.

9 to 5 is another classic Dabney Coleman movie.

Baby's Day Out. I loved this film when I was a child.

A movie that came out in 1999 called Bowfinger is funny as hell. I saw it last night on one of the premium channels. I was never a big Eddie Murphy fan, didn't watch SNL in the early 80's, but he is so funny. It's actually a Steve Martin film, but it's not his usual type and Eddie also plays his own brother but has braces and talks like a white guy.

Steve plays a shady director trying to make a film in Hollywood with no budget. He selected Eddie Murphy as the star of his film, but Eddie doesn't know it, so everytime he's in public Steve's film crew tries to film Eddie and the other actors just think that Eddie doesn't like to work when he sees the camera.

There's a great supporting cast in the film, along with Steve Martin and Eddie Murphy there is Heather Graham who is hot as usual along with Jamie Kennedy, Christine Baranski and small parts by Terrence Stamp and Robert Downey Jr.

Bowfinger is a classic. Not really much to recommend against it. Just about everyone would end up enjoying themselves.

I was stationed at Stanton Army Airfield in the DMZ of South Korea from 1970 to '71. I just looked it up and MASH was released March 1970 but it played at Camp Howze in January 1971, that's where I saw the film. It was very easy to relate to the story because our situation wasn't a whole lot different. We weren't at war, the real war was going on a 1000 miles south in Vietnam, so we were the sort of forgotten country and pot was just beginning to make the rounds throughout the camp. My unit was mostly helicopter pilots, mechanics, weather men and controllers like myself. The Koreans did all the real soldering, such as gate guard, perimeter guards, the mess hall, orderly room, anything was didn't involve aviation the KATUSA's perfomed (Koreans Assigned to The US Army).

It was cold as hell, I remember snow was on the ground when I saw the film and when I came out of the theater there were about 3 or 4 cabs waiting and a couple of the drivers started fighting over who would get the ride. All the locals either worked in support of the base, whether houseboys, cab drivers, prostitutes, etc, we were the economy.

I loved that film, have seen it again and again so many times. I couldn't stand watching the TV show, Alan Alda as Hawkeye was a horrible choice, the original colonel, the dentist, everybody was so much better in the film, I never could understand the popularity of the TV show. Anyway, I loved the film and the director Robert Altman who is dead now, made another excellent film about the backstabbing of Hollywood, it was called The Player and came out about 1990, it's really worth seeing.

Was listening to some podcasts the other day and I guess a few classic 80s comedies are now considered “problematic”

Revenge of the Nerds (date rape. Gay stereotypes)

Sixteen Candles (date rape and offensive stereotypes)
