"An anti-American eagle. It's diabolical."

Boy, if it's not one damned thing it's another. So Friday we watched Chatterbox, the talking va-jay-jay movie. Ah, the '70s. Yes, it's on Amazon Prime. We had one person decamp, and I apologize and certainly understand. Most everyone liked it, though, generally. Amiable and weird is a decent combination to base your film…

Ran out of worms? Have a great weekend, everyone. Watch something stupid. In fact, watch something stupid with us tonight at our Watch Party.

Godzilla 2000 back in theaters tonight for Godzilla Day. Not the greatest G film.  Orga being highly generic and forgettable is probably the biggest issue.

Second up was Hapkido, an Angelo Mao martial arts dealie where her two costars were a young Sammo Hung and Carter Wong. How's that for an all-star cast? It was pretty great. The small boutique blu ray companies (Arrow, Shout Factory, etc.) have been flooding the market lately with wonderful sets and/or special editions…
