Finished grading the final for the first of my two sections, and then
did a little bit of finish up work on the lab class... With that, I got
through:

soaps: Y&R - Mon's ep. Billy tells Filis[sic!] his Revenge! plot against
Victor; Filis balks at getting involved because of her kids - I wasn't
sure if she agreed to participate or not. Sharon gets hypnotized by
Traci's boyfriend, and remembers that she didn't run Filis off the road.
Ian Ward eavesdrops on a conversation between Claire and Mariah & Tessa,
while Aunt Jordan remembers back to when Ian Ward reeled her in on his
Revenge! plot.
GH - Tue's ep. Bitch Carly wants Revenge!! on Drew (and Willow), but
Jason tries to talk her down from that. Willow is working some public
charity thing for Jordan, and of course Drew stops by to see her,
witnessed by both a visibly displeased Jordan, and by Felicia. Nina,
with Ava present, discusses Willow's upcoming potential divorce and
custody case with lawyer Martin Gray. Curtis and Michael implement their
plan to eject Drew from Aurora co., but Curtis gets it in writing from
Michael up front. Despondent Josslyn discusses her grief with Trina, who
understands the situation intimately because of Spencer's death.
DOOL - Tue's ep. Mostly stuff about Cat and her family, or Chad with
Jack and Jennifer, and I really don't care much. NuGabi is already
starting to work on seducing JJ - this girl's libido won't quit!!

Broken Innocence (Tubi) - This 2024 effort is one of those flicks that
gets you to wonder - if this film had had a budget, a better script, and
better actors and better direction, would it have been a "good film"?
The actress, Arianna Harris, who plays the lead teen victim I
actually thought was mostly good here (and likely would have been better
with some actual direction), and is a bit of a find. I also liked BJ
Mezek who played the unflappable shrink.
But I thought the actors who played the parents were not good, which
was a problem, as the film sort of resolves around those two characters.
And a lot of the supporting cast wasn't good either. (This was filmed in
Kentucky, and felt like much of the cast were locals...)
If nothing else, this film did get me to think/wonder - why don't
more long-term incest victims snap and go homicidal?
But, as it was, I was never clear on what the homicidal teen
victim's plan actually was (did she have a plan?!), though I guess her
plan falls apart at the end, anyway. Still, a better script would have
made this clearer.
Anyway, while I mostly liked the lead's performance, and the lead
character's journey, overall I would say this was not a very good film,
and probably could/should(?) have been a lot better.

What did you watch?
Hey, thanks for asking!

THE DAY OF THE TRIFFIDS on The Plex

Howard Keel plays one of the few sighted people in a world of the blind
threatened by poison spitting mobile carnivorous plants. It held up a lot
better than I thought it would.

They changed it a lot from the book which may have been for the better
because there aren’t really many answers either way. A mysterious meteor
shower leaves the world blind. Conspiracy theorists think it was some sort
of Russian weapon that went wrong and got everybody.
In the book, Triffids are known to the world and kept in pens for as I
recall their oil. And their poison sacks are kept clipped. With the world
gone blind there’s nothing to keep them from escaping and wackiness
ensuing. In the movie, they just appear out of nowhere after the meteor
shower. It’s hard to imagine these two events as being accidental and
unconnected. But there are no answers to be had just efforts to survive.

Meanwhile, Janette Scott (yes, from Rocky Horror Picture Show) and her real
life husband who starred in together in CRACK IN THE WORLD, are trapped in
a lighthouse and besieged by the Triffids. At the end, he turns the fire
hose on them because he’s run out of things to throw, and it turns out that
seawater disintegrates them. Well, that was an easy fix!

Baywatch? Are you trying to get him to break his phone?


This is a two day catch up.

I watched:

The Faculty (4K disc) 1998 horror movie directed by Robert Rodriguez and
starring a whose who list of late 90s teens who must save the world when
their high school teachers are taken over by aliens. This movie name
checks both "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" and "The Puppet Masters,"
but isn't as good as either.


Survivor - Season finale. I am happy with who won. Last week I had no
idea who they were. But given the events of the finale, I'm happy with
the outcome.

That would be true.. if only it weren't true.. Though it is true for
those unwilling or unable to look, but those who seek, so shall they
find..

First we start with the classic.


Then there is a 2009 version



How about the audio book version:



Or the 1981 BBC version:



Another audio book version from 2001



There are yet more that could be listed but that seems like
enough to prove a point. ;)

idea who they were. But given the events of the finale, I'm happy with
the outcome.
It was a great ending to a good season. They had a good cast and they
kept it close till the end. Well, not the very end as the vote was a
bit of a land slide. LOL. Other than the one person who clearly only
voted for the person they liked the most and not on game play (or as
some suggested they voted clearly on the gender of the winner.)


As for me.. I watched the SURVIVOR finale and finished off the SECRET
LEVEL episodes. Great little series with pretty good stories in a
short show. Some wouldn't work if the episode were any longer but as
was it was good enough. Looking at you, Spelunky.

Ah, I also watched the latest episode of FBI MOST WANTED which had the
team going after the dumbest group of bad cops I've seen. Cops that
decided the best way to stop crime was to kill off the bad guys as did
David Crosby when facing off against Dirty Harry. Only they decide to
double down once the FBI shows up and prove how tough they are by
trying to run the FBI out of town. It does not go well for them.

life husband who starred in together in CRACK IN THE WORLD, are trapped in
a lighthouse and besieged by the Triffids. At the end, he turns the fire
hose on them because he’s run out of things to throw, and it turns out that
seawater disintegrates them. Well, that was an easy fix!
I know there are several versions of this movie, but I think I only ever
saw the old, black and white version. I have *wanted* to see one of the
newer versions for a while now, but no one is streaming them.
Triffids is widescreen and color. Although I don’t think there’s a restored
version that cleans up all the crap on the screen, but it sort of benefits
from it.

Check JustWatch. It says it’s on half a dozen streamers.
Roku
Fubo
Tubi
Crackle
Plex
And bizarrely you can actually watch it directly on the JustWatch app.


There are also remakes of it.

Never watched this myself but it took all of a few seconds to find it.
All episodes available for anyone to watch. Just scroll down a few
pages and you can see all the episodes available for you to pick
through:
https://www.youtube.com/@mazandtaz/videos

first episode season 1


looks like it has both season 1 and season 2.

Ah this is even better. Someone made a playlist of all the episodes
(same as those listed above)

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVwGZORCrsAltyI88NrEE9SGGG_nwgN4a
so play this and it will just go from episode to episode. S01E01 to
S02e22


Enjoy! (at least I hope it's enjoyable. I know it gets very strange.)

What did you watch?
Hey, thanks for asking!
THE DAY OF THE TRIFFIDS on The Plex
Howard Keel plays one of the few sighted people in a world of the blind
threatened by poison spitting mobile carnivorous plants. It held up a lot
better than I thought it would.
They changed it a lot from the book which may have been for the better
because there aren’t really many answers either way. A mysterious meteor
shower leaves the world blind. Conspiracy theorists think it was some sort
of Russian weapon that went wrong and got everybody.
In the book, Triffids are known to the world and kept in pens for as I
recall their oil. And their poison sacks are kept clipped. With the world
gone blind there’s nothing to keep them from escaping and wackiness
ensuing. In the movie, they just appear out of nowhere after the meteor
shower. It’s hard to imagine these two events as being accidental and
unconnected. But there are no answers to be had just efforts to survive.

I actually would settle for the "Baywatch: Hawaiian Wedding" sequel
movie, which I have never seen, but it's not available anywhere, and I
don't think they show it on the "Baywatch" FAST channel.

(I also don't think I have ever seen the pilot movie, "Baywatch: Panic
at Malibu Pier", and it's also not available anywhere, and I don't think
they show it on the "Baywatch" FAST channel either!...)

Finished grading the final for the first of my two sections, and then
did a little bit of finish up work on the lab class... With that, I got
soaps: Y&R - Mon's ep. Billy tells Filis[sic!] his Revenge! plot against
Victor; Filis balks at getting involved because of her kids - I wasn't
sure if she agreed to participate or not. Sharon gets hypnotized by
Traci's boyfriend, and remembers that she didn't run Filis off the road.
Ian Ward eavesdrops on a conversation between Claire and Mariah & Tessa,
while Aunt Jordan remembers back to when Ian Ward reeled her in on his
Revenge! plot.
   GH - Tue's ep. Bitch Carly wants Revenge!! on Drew (and Willow), but
Jason tries to talk her down from that. Willow is working some public
charity thing for Jordan, and of course Drew stops by to see her,
witnessed by both a visibly displeased Jordan, and by Felicia. Nina,
with Ava present, discusses Willow's upcoming potential divorce and
custody case with lawyer Martin Gray. Curtis and Michael implement their
plan to eject Drew from Aurora co., but Curtis gets it in writing from
Michael up front. Despondent Josslyn discusses her grief with Trina, who
understands the situation intimately because of Spencer's death.
   DOOL - Tue's ep. Mostly stuff about Cat and her family, or Chad with
Jack and Jennifer, and I really don't care much. NuGabi is already
starting to work on seducing JJ - this girl's libido won't quit!!
Broken Innocence (Tubi) - This 2024 effort is one of those flicks that
gets you to wonder - if this film had had a budget, a better script, and
better actors and better direction, would it have been a "good film"?
I think that question applies to just about every bad movie, and the
answer is yes.

I’m not so sure about that. I love Batman 1966 but it’s full of cheap shots
that you would think would benefit from a reshoot. But I’ve had discussions
with people and we pretty much agree that if you made Batman 1966 into it
technically better movie, it would probably not be as much fun to watch.

But don't forget, "better script." I'm thinking Plan 9 Outer Space
redone as "Ed Wood" or "The Room" redone as "The Disaster Artist." Two
examples of bad movies that mocked because they were so bad, yet given a
new *everything* it becomes entertaining. Not a mock it level, but a
good actors with a good script level.

Then there are the straight remakes like "Little Shop of Horrors"or
"The Thing." Not that the originals were necessarily bad movies, but
between the originals and the remakes, I'll take the remakes. "A Star
is Born" is a movie with multiple versions. I watched all them and
didn't like any version, until the most recent version.

Or you can do it in reverse. Think of all the great movies that had bad
remakes. I think the criteria still applies regardless as to which
movie came first.

I re-watched it tonight. There’s less to be fixed than I would have
thought. The main thing is, I would like them to use New York for all the
shots of the city. It’s kind of embarrassing when they keep cutting
back-and-forth from stock footage of New York footage of LA which hardly
had any skyscrapers at the time.

I think the 1951 version of THE THING (from another world) is one of the
best movies ever made. Classic Howard Hawks.

I like the 1982 version as well. But from a rewatch viewpoint, the 1951
version has it beat.

I’ve never managed to sit through any version, even though I know people in
the Kris Kristofferson one since it was shot here. And doesn’t another
version star James Mason?

People keep complaining about remakes of great movies. They’re right, they
should be remaking movies that crashed and burned where there’s room for
improvement.

Disney has forced Pixar to cut a transgender storyline aimed at young kids

deferred to parental control of their children's content! Sources are
telling me this may be the first crack in Hollywood's DEI dam, an
