Escape From New York


David 14? No, Air Force 1: Now we know where Bin Laden got the idea!


The survival of the human race: Snake Plissken.


1988? 1997!


Master Life Clock: 20:17:03!


Twist those wires together: Going down?


McHale: They’re coming out of the sewers!


I want to meet the Brain: Harold, we were buddies!


The Duke of New York: Liberace’s pimpmobile!


(Note to editor: OK. The next part was real exciting but it was dark in the theater and I can’t read some of my notes, but this is basically what happens.)


Oh no they got the Snake and now they’re using the President as target practice so warm up the choppers we’re moving in but these are Snake's goggles in the briefcase so they figure he’s dead but no! there’s gonna be a cage fight with a big-ass guy with a mustache and Shaft is watching and they’re hitting each other with baseball bats and the weird punk guy gets offed by Harry Dean Stanton as he steals the President but now they have spikes in their bats and garbage can lids for shields but then the sewer rats throw the glider off the top of the World Trade Center and then Snake shoots the steam engine and here comes McHale in his taxi and off they go to the 69th Street Bridge. Snake Plissken is one cool customer. Crashes taxi into ‘67 Mustang (V8 - 5 lug nuts). I said jog right asshole. Maggie he’s dead. Here comes Shaft. Snake on Shaft violence, President offs the Duke. Then they defibrillate Snake and everyone lights up and lives happily ever after. 


Master Life Clock: 00:00:02!


There’s also a surprise at the end.

Daryl Hannah’s portrayal of Captain Hook reinterpreted by Kurt Russel. Ripley interpreted by Adrienne Barbeau. Clint Eastwood’s voice by either Kate Hudson or her father. 


Both Ernest Borgnine and Harry Dean Stanton can be given the most ridiculous roles in the most ridiculous movies but then just make their characters sing!


Pretty much as good as it comes. Much better in a theater. Check it out!!!

Last Jedi Warning: This is only the second Star Wars flick I've seen. I may have had some trouble figuring out who the characters were, but eventually got it all straight. Opening title crawl: check. Rebels: check, but alas, no monuments. Phone pranks: check (the kids love phone pranks). "Dreadnaughts" & "Bombs Away!": check. Darth Vader: now played by Adam Driver. Pescatarian Jedi: Played by Luke Skywalker. Mark Hamill: now played by Orson Welles in his greatest role. Washed-up has-been Jedi: played superbly by Mark Hamil. Young Luke: now a girl named Rey. Intergender violence: Carrie Fisher. Rey and Luke: get in a light saber fight in the rain (but not sexy). Then: Rey goes to the Death Star (I never figured out why). Then: Rey and Adam Driver and Smeagol get in a light saber fight. I think maybe Rey won. Then: some other stuff happens. Then: Rey is on the Millennium Falcon with Chewbacca (I missed the part that explained how). Filmies: some beautiful matc
