Armageddon! I"m going Christian Bale on all your asses! Replaced with out of work Joe Biden clones. I have no idea when it was, but I remember Bruce was doing one of his infamous appearances on Late Show with Letterman and Dave gave Bruce this weird ass look cause Bruce was being even weirder than usual and he actually looked concerned. I just assumed he was drunk as hell and high on whatever. But looking back I think maybe Dave knew he was off. Yeah, I think you got that right. There was probably a whole faction of disenfranchised warriors looking for new work out there. So it was Doom's earlier ways that ended up undoing him. Conan being the ultimate product of the old war machine, now free. Just a forgotten loose end. Between this fiasco and Pearce stepping in the mud over his Memento comments, that dude isn't doing too good. Hairy grandma farting on dinosaurs. I always found it curious that Conan was the last slave to the wheel. No other replacements in all this time? No new kids? It suggests to me that Doom's empire was in decline already. Well once upon a time, Arnold was just some asshole and this was just some movie and the studio was trying to make more money. Nobody was trying to create legendary art. Well you're blowing my mind here. I always just superficially saw him as over the top movie villain. But yeah. What was he doing? The parallels to Jim Jones have always been super obvious. A mass death event is probably what he had in mind. He'd probably resurrect again after a cocoon slumber and start all over. He might have even needed to harvest the souls of his followers for his magic spell. It's awesome to see Thulsa Doom's power beguile Conan's mother, make her lower her sword arm. He did that same shit to Conan years later and he snapped that enchantment and chopped that dude's head off. So long snake god! I know all your dumb tricks. It was sad watching him go out. He went out like a man though. Even when the dogs were eating him alive he didn't cry like a bitch. I just threw up in my mouth. (nut busting. ur cool.) I only watch movies with attractive young Jews. Yes, i've thought of that. But i'm not really a sane person that keep schedules. I ended up watching Bladerunner 3 times. It's definitely front loaded. The back half drags. It could have have cut 30 minutes and still delivered. That flat performance of Gosling is perfect, but also leaves the viewer a little disengaged. I just can't care about this robot. The twist is good, but it was so in the box, you can't enjoy the moments when they're happening. It's a flawed film. But I love the ideas, aesthetic and execution and ideals so much, it's a pass. Didn't realize this was the same guy doing the new Dune flicks. This is how dude makes movies. He's alright. Watching Bladerunner 2049 again right now. Gawd I love this movie. I think it's made for lonely incels. Had an interesting experience with the crow this time. That's why I watched it twice. I never really loved the end before. 3/4s gothic masterpiece. Then this bizarre Lethal Weapon style buddy cop action ending. But this time, and maybe it's being almost 50 IDK, it really connected with me. I finally felt what I was supposed to be feeling. It was a real rush and I wanted to relive it immediately before I lost the fever. Cause I do that. I kind of blow my nut with a fandom. I get all worked up and love it so hard, and after. I just forget why I ever cared at all. 100 percent. And the success of the experiment has led to a great many more celebs being replaced since. People will believe whatever you tell them. Ludicrously silly movie. Felt more like a Freddy flick. The gore scenes while ambitious were not convincing. Moss has serious mom energy, always has. A similar character and actor was Elizabeth Gracen playing Amanda on the Highlander show. Both of em basically done up to look like Catwoman. Now that girl was oozing sex appeal everywhere. Like I said somewhere above, the roll of Trinity works better being a mom-energy type person. You needed what they were trying to shoot for in Ready Player One. Unobtainable pixie dream girl in the Matrix, totally relatable loving & supportive den-mother in the real world. She straddled those two rolls nicely. In a "perfect movie", they would have had an entirely different set of actors for the Matrix versions of people, but that would have been way too high concept and confusing. I found the Gunsmoke channel on Roku tv and watched that for 48 hours straight, then I watched the original Crow twice in a row, then Blues Brothers, and then the original True Grit cause it was commercial free on the TCM and I never seen it that way before. And I squeezed the new Bladerunner in there somewhere but I was pretty blacked out by then. And last night I caught the first episode of SNL on tv and I still can't figure out why people thought that sheet is funny. Even the Carlin bits are some of his worst de-fanged material. The last reliable stormy sea has been down, probably for good, so I haven't gotten to see the Gorge yet, which is why I started my party in the first place. Got the last bit of episodes of Cobra Kai coming up, but tonight i'll be watching this 50th anniversary celebration of Pete Davidson. it shows up now and then on one of the free western tv channels. always throws me for a loop. fits better with Lost in Space than it does Gunsmoke. i think it's the same channel that shows Brisco County Jr. anything with a horse i guess.
