Galaxy Quest - very funny glad I missed it first time round cos I needed it to cheer me up last night
It's stupid but I enjoy it every time I see it.

I still use the line "This episode was badly written !" At appropriate moments when watching other films.It's stupid but I enjoy it every time I see it.
In some circles Galaxy Quest has become the standard to which all other genre parodies/homages are measured simply because it pokes fun at Star Trek (both the series and the phenomenon it has become), but does so with reverence, appreciation, and affection, rather than being mean-spirited. The last movie I can recall doing that so successfully was Mel Brooks' Young Frankenstein.Galaxy Quest - very funny glad I missed it first time round cos I needed it to cheer me up last night
It is a nice little flick.The movie's grown on me over the years.
It didn't do so well at the box office, but I too would like to see Logan Lucky. It looks to be a fun cast and movie.Atomic Blonde. Man, what a fun ride! And the 80s soundtrack had me dancing in my seat! This I will get on blu-ray. Another $5 CAD Thursday night out (turns out Wednesday and Thursday are the "cheap" days, otherwise it is $7.50).
Next up at the base theatre: Logan Lucky.
I need somebody.Help!

There's a novel written by Lawrence Block under the pen name of Paul Kavanagh, Not Comin' Home to You, which is based on the career of the same real-life pair of murderers, Charles Starkweather and Caril Fugate. I'd always been under the impression that Badlands followed the publication of the book, but Wikipedia says the novel came out in '74. Anyway, like most of Block's serious work, it's tremendously readable.BADLANDS (1973) starring Martin Sheen, Sissy Spacek
An impressionable teenage girl from a dead-end town and her older greaser boyfriend embark on a killing spree in the South Dakota badlands.

That's one of my favorite movies, too. My favorite scenes include the very first one (I think it was) when the man (Foster) is watching the bank from the building across the street and checking off the times, then later in the same room, meeting the men he hired. The other scenes are in the diner where Payne's character is with the man with the limp and later meets an informer who tells him about someone who left town.Watched Kansas City Confidential again, for the I-can't-rememberth time. John Payne gets to cover all the emotional bases (regular joe framed, bitter against the system, driven to find out who pulled the job that dragged him into the crime, tough guy when the going gets tough), and Preston Foster is solid, but the co-stars, wow-- Neville Brand, Jack Elam, Lee Van Cleef. Great noir combined with heist film.
We carry out fitting appointments in Chicago, New York and Montreal too...but Savile Row is a great habitat for us! We still specialise in detailed 'remote' fittings tooWhile I can't say I was the least enthralled with the film, other than the extreme pleasure of getting to see Colin Firth play James Bond, it was amusing to get fitted for a Bookster suit right upstairs from the still Kingsman badged Huntsman shop on Savile Row. Bookster is still a good deal and very accommodating. They aren't located in London but do borrow facilities occasionally.
