just ignore and let this one die

Claire!! too funny. How do you happen upon these??

RObert Conrad.... I wouldn't have guessed he was still alive.

I was a HUGE fan of Wild Wild West on TV as a kid, although now if I see one I am amazed to see how campy it was.

Unlike most ppl (apparently) I wasnt' so down on the movie. I rather enoyed it actually. Unlike most movies from the last 20 years it wasn't all about sex, political preaching, or toilet humor.

I expected the film to reference the original theme music from the TV show, but after an hour or so I did not hear it and had given up. Then they used it to punctuate the turning point in the action - very cleverly employed. When our heroes escaped and burst forth at a high rate of speed to go fight the bad guys, that music I loved so much as a child blasted across the room as the horses blasted across the screen. It sent chills down my spine, and nearly brought a tear to my eye.

Music moves me.

It made Stevie Wonder..............

For my next number I offer up one that is a bit rough to post here, so I'll just link to it.

Stephen Lynch's "Go Down to the Old Pub Instead".

re: Bob Con - actually, he's become a drunk.

he was funny in WWW, but as a person he's a jerk. but whatever.

Dear Your Dripnificence,

Well.. the movie just wasn't as good as the TV show, which is, of course, an unfair comparison. Man, I loved that show.

(pondering now...well...Will, Kevin and Ken put in fine performances...so, OK....it was an OK movie.)

this is my handsome Prince Chester. if i was a cat, i'd marry him.

Really?! Cool. I hope you like it.

I gotta say Claire's posting a picture of Dr. Loveless makes me wanna see the flick again.

Remember in the original series, the episode where they fought the "Juggernaut"? It was kinda referenced in the movie. The juggernaut was sorta written as the precursor of the military tank, but even as a kid I could see it was a farm tractor covered in cardboard boxes. *chuckle*

The torch lit by WWW was carried briefly in the 1990s in a TV series called "Briscoe County Junior" starring Bruce Campbell. I loved that one, too. It was very similar in style with multiple sci-fi, and fantasy elements as well as plenty of real-world anachronistic references, and of course done with much more expensive special effects. Scripts were clever on multiple levels and there was much enjoyment from the interaction between Briscoe and his sentient horse, Comet.

John Astin played a nutty professor type, allowing him to sort of reprise key aspects of the personality he was known for in The Adams Family. I have Netflixed the entire BCJ series more than onc since its demise and found more delight in it each time.


Bob Conrad: a Hollywood has-been now an alkie? Hardly a surprise there.

I had an...um...educational childhood?
That was one of the tunes we used to sing at school....age 10...ish. lol. yes, we were sick children.


btw. I liked th movie, but that was prolly because
a) Will Smith...nuff said lol
and b) I never saw the tv program, so had nothing to compare it to.

hell, I didn't even know there was a tv program! lol.

the tv program was good.

OH I love Bruce Campbell! I totally forgot about Briscoe County Jr!
I remember the "Juggernaut" episode of WWW.

It's hard to believe he actually posed with a Gatling gun...

/me melts. What a beautiful sweetie!

Although WWW had lots of great elements, (including Will Smith) somehow the whole movie wasn't really that enjoyable for me.

thank you. he's such a good kitty. he's comes home to check in about once every two hours and get loves. meows like a baby and loves to be nuzzled. my special boy. i rescued hom from the wild and rehabilitated him, but really - he rescued me.

It's amazing how much our pets enrich our lives, isn't it?

Hi thread!

I just saw the new Indiana Jones movie.

Ha ha, I haven't logged in to forums in a while, and here is this thread, still going like a bad penny.

Banks and stores take bad pennies just as quickly as they take new ones.

The stakes are a lot higher now. Around 25,000 Lindens I believe.

Sorry, you'll have to use your IMAGINATION, won't you? HAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA!

(no spoilers! but...was it good???)

/me regrets singing yesterday.

please tell me if it was good. was it worth watching? thats all I want to know??

I'll post more Cthuhlu....

In 10 hours, I'm going to meet my best SL friend in RL!

It was most definitely an Indiana Jones movie, that's for sure. I loved every minute of it. Lots of "inside humor", too. "Raiders" is still my favorite, but I don't regret spending the money on this movie for one second.
