Plus the message needs to come up at least 30 minutes before sunset. I've had to put bins out through back allays with no lights in the past and you don't want to do that with no lights."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

This evening's entertainment, following on from the making of yet another large saucepanful of lentil <pfffft> soup, was "Cobra" (1986), Sly Stallone, Brigitte Nielson (pre tit job), Reni Santoni (post "Dirty Harry"), Andrew Robinson (post "Dirty Harry" pre "DS9").
Cobra (1986) - IMDb
Not to mention David Rasche of "Sledge Hammer" fame (a "Dirty Harry" spoof), and Brian Thomson (pre X Files & any other stuff he's ever been in as a psycho killer/super soldier etc etc etc).
It was rather gruesome with a good deal of added grue.Last edited by zeitghost; 14 October 2017, 22:09.Comment

In fact, as is always the case with any problem involving dates and times, all the supposedly complicated stuff to make the core functionality happen is really easy; dealing with the dates and times is the hardest part.
I hate dealing with dates and timesComment

Tonight's fillum experience commenced with Top Gun (1986) - IMDb. I think I may have seen it on telly many years ago, but don't really remember it if I did.
Was there any other Eighties movie that was as Eighties as this? The AOR, the shoulder pads, the hair, the casual sexism, the subliminal homoeroticism? (Though the sexism was more covert than overt, because by then they were vaguely aware it was bad, so it just shows through in the ways they took it for granted as being the way of the world.)
Anyway, I assume the people who flocked to the box office to see it were all 14 year old boys, as it seems to have been aimed entirely at them, and they would be sufficiently lacking in critical faculties to make it a success
And I always hated That Song. The damn thing keeps coming back over and over again for about twenty minutes. It's a crap song
After that I was in need of something that didn't make me want to throw my eyes and ears in a skip, so I turned to World Trade Center (2006) - IMDb, the true story of two NY Port Authority cops (why does America have so many different police forces for the most arcane jurisdictions?) who were trapped under a skyscraper's worth of debris when WTC2 collapsed, then suffered the further misfortune of WTC1 collapsing on top of that, and then WTC7 on top of that, but were eventually rescued, being the eighteenth and nineteenth of just twenty people rescued alive after the world came crashing down. Excellent stuff, and at least Oliver Stone managed not to drag any of his conspiracy theories into this one
And then a bit more of The Americans, and so to bed.
Goodnight allComment
