Arnold Schwarzenegger (”Arnold Strong” in the credits) is Hercules, a demi-god celebrated in myth and legend for his ability to recite lines phonetically. On earth, Hercules was lauded as the mightiest of warriors, while on Olympus he is chiefly famous for showing off his veiny, trunk-like thighs in a side-slit mini skirt.<div><br />Hercules is bored in the realm of the gods, but Zeus will not permit him to visit earth, because, “these mortals are bedeviled by as aggravating a collection of annoyances as it’s possible for one to imagine,” so adding Arnold to the situation would just be gilding the lily. When it’s pointed out to Hercules that he’s only a demi-god anyway, and should quit putting on airs, Arnold slowly recites, “My father may have been a mortal, but you Zeus, my father, are a god.” So, Hercules Has Two Daddies."<div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a" style="caret-color: rgb(5, 5, 5); color: #050505; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="https://open.substack.com/pub/clevenger/p/schwarzeneggers-first-film-hercules?r=ipdd&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web" target="_blank">Read the rest on Better Living Through Bad Movies</a></div></div></div>Scotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02798340582589737829noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095893933054236765.post-14503908979539979532023-11-17T09:58:00.000-08:002023-11-17T09:58:13.979-08:00Better Living Through Bad Movies Presents: The Island (2005)<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZjYeP4E8V1kQ9Gm7dFBvQR-zUsxc7WmdI79CtDx-yz6wRF4QE7yF1e4467H7SiM7lvKH0IwT1urxrWiQSmrF8HeGKwgmW2vBK1lp9Q9adkEhf535mmO_qsZOvgg0PfgFYygrXgVN1mIXiekchPzdOuRl-vFzBwj02MrjzdiXcOF7VrC9Jl_ZQ8OuoGw/s1140/the-island-1.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="590" data-original-width="1140" height="247" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZjYeP4E8V1kQ9Gm7dFBvQR-zUsxc7WmdI79CtDx-yz6wRF4QE7yF1e4467H7SiM7lvKH0IwT1urxrWiQSmrF8HeGKwgmW2vBK1lp9Q9adkEhf535mmO_qsZOvgg0PfgFYygrXgVN1mIXiekchPzdOuRl-vFzBwj02MrjzdiXcOF7VrC9Jl_ZQ8OuoGw/w476-h247/the-island-1.jpeg" width="476" /></a></div>[NOTE: If you’re cast in a movie where you play a 4-year old clone who knows nothing and needs everything explained, then 85% of your performance is going to consist of this expression.]<br /><br /><p></p><p>"We should probably address the controversy up front.

He agrees to join her on the quest but says they’d better hurry, since her map is simultaneously developing dandruff and a yeast infection.</p>Frank Langella shows up and demands to know where the map is, threatening her with a moray eel if she doesn’t talk, but Geena refuses to admit that she’s using her father’s skin as a panty liner. He kills her uncle, but that’s okay, because it turns out Frank’s also her uncle, so she’ll still have an excuse to dress like a whore on Thanksgiving.</blockquote><div><a href="https://open.substack.com/pub/clevenger/p/cutthroat-island-1995?r=ipdd&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web" target="_blank">Click here for more.</a></div><br /><div><br /></div>Scotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02798340582589737829noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095893933054236765.post-85929470829561543282023-08-04T13:00:00.001-07:002023-08-04T13:00:14.702-07:00Episode 107: Those Old Scientists<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQQDVM456zY0SHgiN4W5YMv8BLXkqMhSqNU37roOkJQydKZjvSed50hqHWu1z2_ANqymtWtXUEEbEbbE-iL6j6tuNZH0CwXwhcPCzAPOt9Ii8O0STJhOQ33GFyddliffhyMAD5_e7JBbANS9BJ18Jas3MRHrI69dNtfZRx7kJo5ghqiH9zi4f6cU5Btw/s1349/Slum107%20Grafix.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="577" data-original-width="1349" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQQDVM456zY0SHgiN4W5YMv8BLXkqMhSqNU37roOkJQydKZjvSed50hqHWu1z2_ANqymtWtXUEEbEbbE-iL6j6tuNZH0CwXwhcPCzAPOt9Ii8O0STJhOQ33GFyddliffhyMAD5_e7JBbANS9BJ18Jas3MRHrI69dNtfZRx7kJo5ghqiH9zi4f6cU5Btw/w542-h239/Slum107%20Grafix.jpg" width="542" /></a></div><br /> Cartoon characters come to life (and for once we're not just talking about Jeff), in the Season 2 crossover episode as <i>Star Trek: Strange New Worlds</i> meets <i>Lower Decks</i>.<p></p><iframe allow="autoplay" frameborder="no" height="300" scrolling="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/1583468843&color=%23ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&show_teaser=true&visual=true" width="100%"></iframe><div style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Interstate, "Lucida Grande", "Lucida Sans Unicode", "Lucida Sans", Garuda, Verdana, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; font-weight: 100; line-break: anywhere; overflow: hidden; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap; word-break: normal;"><a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-906786733" style="color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" title="The Slumgullion Podcast">The Slumgullion Podcast</a> · <a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-906786733/slumgullion-107-those-old-scientists" style="color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" title="Slumgullion 107: Those Old Scientists">Slumgullion 107: Those Old Scientists</a></div>Scotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02798340582589737829noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095893933054236765.post-4983586467639983702023-07-18T17:38:00.000-07:002023-07-18T17:38:04.700-07:00Episode 106: Tangents<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1OWM-5kwOfwKp6a7sjNAQ3VdjS5Pc8MtzeBR0CcpXuxwG51_BlFh0DCMiQ3U_eNPgEZOkFi9o91WUHJdOKzWVwxDzkqyAknz4cTMkFdtEool4s0FZ-qAW5h9Szcvc4A8VFrscO4RpNshwLSmOy3p2kBovFmDmr3oJO-C3vLepIXrd5b8d4w3NI9n01g/s1200/slum106grafix.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1200" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1OWM-5kwOfwKp6a7sjNAQ3VdjS5Pc8MtzeBR0CcpXuxwG51_BlFh0DCMiQ3U_eNPgEZOkFi9o91WUHJdOKzWVwxDzkqyAknz4cTMkFdtEool4s0FZ-qAW5h9Szcvc4A8VFrscO4RpNshwLSmOy3p2kBovFmDmr3oJO-C3vLepIXrd5b8d4w3NI9n01g/w400-h300/slum106grafix.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p></p><p>It's like <i>Targets</i>, but without Boris Karloff.</p><p>By the way, this is the Lois Lane Supercut we talk about on the show:</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="339" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/donJKE_BPUw" width="483" youtube-src-id="donJKE_BPUw"></iframe></div><br /><p>And speaking of the show...

Fortunately, this pan-dimensional, pan-sexual, pan-bearded pair of otherworldly imps--unlike some <i>other</i> extraterrestrials I could name (lookin' at you and your strap-on, E.T.)--they chose not to probe my anus, for reasons that were typical of the two:</div><div><p>IKE: Now don't take this personal, Scott.

Jeff and I would have watched this and recorded a show about it, if I didn't find myself oddly immune to the comic stylings of Rob Zombie. Oh sure, he's funny, but they really should've hired someone with proven horror chops. Like Mr. Rogers. (I know he's dead, but imagine a worm-eaten corpse in a cardigan shambling around the set, holding a director's viewfinder up to his empty black socket. Now that's scary <i>and</i> funny. But I digress...) <p></p><p>Jeff, however, would not let this stand, and fobbed the job off on Immortal Alien Stoners and Entertainment Gurus Mike and Ike, who began life as a feature in a college newspaper, and now return to their roots.

Because he hasn’t called us in weeks!</p><p>IKE: And 2.) We watched <i>The Munsters</i> and...damn!</p><p>MIKE: I fucking hate prequels!</p><p>IKE: This is what Zombie wanted to do!</p><p>MIKE: Well Zombie’s wrong. I don’t care how they met! I don’t care about the early days of Butch and Sundance, and I could give less than three fifteenths of an actual fuck about when Harry met Lloyd!</p><p>IKE: Ya cared about how they got the Death Star plans.</p><p>PAUSE.</p><p>MIKE: Shut up. The point is it’s already got one strike against it. Strike beta: it’s in color.</p><p>IKE: Ta be fair</p><p>MIKE: To be fair</p><p>BOTH:(Singing) TO BE FAIR!</p><p>IKE: Zombie wanted it in black and white. Higher Ups nixed that.</p><p>MIKE: Well Higher Ups are wrong. The Munsters are basically classic Universal monsters, and said classic monsters are black and white. They just don’t work in color.</p><p>IKE: You’re not wrong.</p><p>MIKE: I know.</p><p>IKE: That bein’ said...</p><p>MIKE: Damn it!

I think I would have liked the film more if it’d been in black and white.</p><p>IKE: Really.</p><p>MIKE: Yes.</p><p>IKE: This prequel?</p><p>MIKE: Yes.</p><p>PAUSE.</p><p>IKE: Point taken.</p><p>MIKE: The acting is intentionally community theatre over the top and all the performances would have come across so much better if they had been in fucking black and white!</p><p>IKE: Agreed.</p><p>MIKE: That being said, My God, Richard Brake is great.</p><p>IKE: He’s got this Vincent Price on the Brady Bunch vibe goin’ on and it is awesome. Best Mad Scientist since Gene Wilder.</p><p>MIKE: In that category, agreed.</p><p>IKE: I also really liked Grandpa.</p><p>MIKE: The Count. Remember, it’s a PREQUEL!</p><p>IKE: Everybody in the flick is fine, but The Count and The Doc are really the ones worth talkin’ about.</p><p>MIKE: Sherrie was funnier as the newscaster.</p><p>IKE: We’re gonna go there now?</p><p>MIKE: I think we should.</p><p>IKE: Alrighty then.</p><p>LIGHTER, INHALE.</p><p>MIKE: Thank you.</p><p>LIGHTER, INHALE.</p><p>PAUSE. BOTH INHALE.</p><p>IKE: The flick’s not that funny.</p><p>MIKE: It has a few good jokes.</p><p>IKE: But most of them are really hokey.</p><p>MIKE: And really bad.</p><p>IKE: But here’s the thing.</p><p>MIKE: Godsdammit, Isaac.</p><p>IKE: The jokes are really no worse than anything heard on the original <i>Munsters</i>, or <i>I Dream of Jeannie</i>, or <i>My Three Sons</i>, or any sitcom from that era.</p><p>MIKE: That doesn’t make them good.</p><p>IKE: But it does make them accurate.</p><p>MIKE: I don’t care! I’m entertained watching <i>The Munsters</i>. Hell, I’m entertained watching <i>Munster Go Home</i>! I was not entertained watching this!</p><p>IKE: If it’d been in black and white?</p><p>MIKE: I might have been.</p><p>IKE: If it had been fifteen minutes shorter and in black and white?</p><p>M: But it’s not so it doesn’t fucking matter.</p><p>SHORT PAUSE.</p><p>IKE: This one hurt, limey.</p><p>MIKE: This one hurt bad, and it shouldn’t have!

The film is a mess. Apart from a surprisingly intense opening kill (One of my favorites in the series, honestly), the script is a mess, the acting ranges from serviceable to non-existent, the shark is the worst looking of the series, and it roars.</p><p>The shark roars.</p><p>The last ten minutes of this film broke my soon-to-be 17-year-old brain. The filmmakers did the impossible. They made a film worse than <i>Jaws 3-D</i>.</p><p>And here is my secret shame: I enjoyed it. I still do. It’s my <i>Beyond the Valley of the Dolls</i> and I am ok with that.</p><p>Thirty five years after its release, someone has decided that the world needs an in-depth history of the most maligned of the <i>Jaws</i> franchise. Paul Downey, author of <i>The Shark is Roaring</i>, has put together a truly amazing history of the film, from inception to reception and beyond. There are interviews with cast and crew, analyses of the various cuts and the novelization, an overview of the soundtrack. Anything you could possibly want to know about <i>Jaws: The Revenge</i> you will find within its pages.</p><p>Except for one thing, which I will get to in a bit.</p><p>One important note before I go on. I was lucky to receive an advance digital copy of the book and I do not know if this is the final edit. There is an introduction mentioned in the table of contents that was not available and one of the interviews has a question with no answer, so there may be some changes between what I read and what is published.</p><p>First things first, I enjoyed the book. The interviews are interesting. I love the pre-release talk where everyone is trying to convince the movie going audience (and themselves, I think) that <i><b>this</b></i> <i>Jaws</i> will be as good as the first one, and the reflective interviews post-release are absolutely fascinating. There’s also a quite mean but quite entertaining essay on it from filmmaker B Harrison Smith.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRFp1cgiLyWINkVEsu6YWn1Y-tcvp4YeSljCZXxdEOLqPig9QcQHdyU0QVzepJeE2PQVvnzl8BLMdTmnp3WZkWsd41nepqxasctOcjQUk6c_mgmtAtQ7IKMQAfuvsgShEAvNTs-bcEFysBoPd4y3cgqz-uTK0PblyXROCcGQsdxfqekkEERLyJMcc/s728/JTR3.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="410" data-original-width="728" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRFp1cgiLyWINkVEsu6YWn1Y-tcvp4YeSljCZXxdEOLqPig9QcQHdyU0QVzepJeE2PQVvnzl8BLMdTmnp3WZkWsd41nepqxasctOcjQUk6c_mgmtAtQ7IKMQAfuvsgShEAvNTs-bcEFysBoPd4y3cgqz-uTK0PblyXROCcGQsdxfqekkEERLyJMcc/w400-h225/JTR3.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><i>When getting killed by a shark puppet, always start in the traditional "Arrgh!

The early chapters have a lot of names and information that (to me) really aren’t relevant to the story being told (this actor who wasn’t in <i>The Revenge</i> worked with this actor who was in <i>The Revenge</i> on a different movie, though they didn’t share a scene together in that other film. Interesting but unnecessary). Also, the book kind of bounces around a lot. It’s a bit chaotic in its presentation (much like the film itself).<div><p>The big thing for me, though: The book is called <i>The Shark is Roaring</i> and there is no explanation as to <i><b>why</b></i> it roared. The roar is talked about, but we’re never given the genesis of the most famous thing from the film. If it is there and I missed it, I apologize to Mr. Downey, but I was looking for it. I was more interested in that than the history of shark films since <i>The Revenge</i> (which is covered). </p><p>In conclusion, <i>The Shark is Roaring</i> is a flawed but highly entertaining read, which is how I feel about the film, so job well done.</p><p><i>The Shark is Roaring is published by <a href="https://bearmanor-digital.myshopify.com" target="_blank">BearManor Media</a> and is <a href="https://bearmanor-digital.myshopify.com/products/the-shark-is-roaring-the-story-of-jaws-the-revenge-paperback?_pos=2&_sid=b15216a74&_ss=r" target="_blank">available now</a></i>.</p></div></div>Scotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02798340582589737829noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095893933054236765.post-43499732096893893942022-06-20T17:40:00.004-07:002022-06-20T17:40:33.885-07:00A Slummie Prelude to Episode 100<p> We're closing in on the century mark, and as Jeff deploys his bulldog-like persistence, his devastating charm, and his plucky pith (pithy pluck? Oh who cares...) in preparation for our One Hundredth Episode Extravaganza, we thought a little proof of life would be appropriate, so we're bringing back the Slummies! Enjoy this miniature episode, which is brief but concentrated, like a can of frozen orange juice in...uh...your underpants? Okay, while Jeff does all that stuff, I'll work on my analogies.
