Now I'm watching "Caddyshack" and I just realized how much Kid Rock (not in the movie) looks like Rodney Dangerfield (who is in the movie) 🤣 🤣🤣

Last night, it was my turn to pick a movie, and I wanted something fun and stupid, nothing too heavy, so we landed on the 1990 cult classic “I Come in Peace” (aka Dark Angel), starring Dolph Lundgren as a cop with no use for the rules, on the hunt for an alien drug dealer who overdoses humans on heroin so he can extract the endorphins it produces, which is a highly sought after drug on his planet.

Yeah, it’s as good as it sounds. :laugh:

SPOILERS!

I think my favorite part of the whole movie is one of the weapons the alien has to quickly dispatch any adversaries - he shoots a CD (yes, you read that right) out of his suit that flies around at high speed and slices the throats of any number of people, ricocheting off this and that to get the job done.

It’s so hilariously stupid on so many fronts, from the explanation (“It’s essentially a charged magnet, and as such, is attracted to magnets with a reversed polarity, and humans carry a small electrical charge in our bodies, so therefore, it’s attracted to us…with deadly results.”), to what stopped it (it got stuck in a PA system speaker, because the speaker had a big magnet in it), right up to the way our hero figured it out (surveying the scene with another cop, trying to figure out how they were killed so quickly, he just instantly surmised that “Maybe we shouldn’t look at the killer, but the weapon…maybe, just maybe, he fired something…something like a disk…that, that…killed the first guy, then ricocheted around the room, killing all the other guys…wait a minute…” and then he walked over to the speaker, popped the cover off, and there it was, just waiting to be found! :laugh: ).

It also contains the cheesiest of cheesy badass comebacks:

Alien: “I come in peace” - a phrase he always says before killing his targets
Dolph (before shooting the alien with his own “spacegun” - yes, they call it a spacegun): “Then go…in pieces!” - BLAMMO!!!

:laugh:
 
TV tonight?
Venezuela vs Jamaica in the CONMEBOL South American football championship. Surprisingly, Venezuela has already qualified by beating Ecuador and Mexico, so this game is a mere courtesy.
In two hours, we're off the "The Pitch", a Sports Bar opposite the Cincinnati FC stadium, to watch England vs Slovakia in the last 16 of the Euro Championships. I'm taking my alarm clock so they can wake me up if anything exciting happens :cool:

Just across the street, on the left side of Music Hall if you’re facing the back of it, is a tiny little hotel called, appropriately enough, The Symphony Hotel, which has the most charming little bar inside.

I’m not sure of their hours, I’ve been in there only at night, before/after an event at Music Hall, but if it’s open, it’s a nice place for a drink.

Here’s everything we watched tonight, starting around 5:30PM:

General Hospital (MrsT)
America’s Funniest Videos (MrsT, though I usually like the animal section)
All Creatures Great & Small
Miss Scarlet & The Duke

Turned it off around 9:30PM.

Back in the day,i liked America's Funniest Videos, but almost only for the animal sections. The human ones are a tad too contrived or mean-spirited for me. But animals are not acting.
 
I watched "How it ends" last night. Good movie till the end. It didn't explain anything. Just ended. LOL

Those sorts of movies drive MrsT crazy!

We’re about to start a slew of new (to us) shows. We just finished The Swarm (which may or may not be back) and Dead Boy Detectives (which may or may not be back), and we’ll wrap up Downton Abbey in the next few days (then start on the movies), and we just have a few episodes left of Midsomer Murders before we’re caught up on that (seriously, how have they not killed every last person in Midsomer by now?!).

I know Shetland is in the queue, and The Acolyte for MrsT. Not sure what else we’ll add to that.
