It's The Peacemaker! It's based on a book, it's 6 on IMDB and it's C+ on Entertainment Weekly! It's also the sort of thing a young teen would need some explanation on the politics and whatnot.

I got it and don't you dare say I didn't! I even had to use the web archive for heaven's sake

well it has yet to be confirmed, but I remember this movie. in my memory it deserves better than a C+, we're talking B- quality here folks.

this is not the actual climax of the movie, but spoiler alert it is a pretty climactic moment, one which I remembered pretty darn accurately:

Congratulations Saoshyant you guessed it! The answer was 1997's The Peacemaker!



I thought I was being clever referencing a wayback-only article and a book that was not at all well-known, good show.

I will now donate 50 dollars to the Movie Nite awards in Saoshyant's name, thanks for playing! And remember, there's still two lots left up for bid!

And yes, my Papa took me to see this movie and I was soooo excited. But you know who was probably more excited? Spielberg Katzenberg and Geffen, that's right the founders of Dreamworks for whom The Peacemaker was, surprisingly, their first feature release. So you think I was disappointed in this utterly forgettable cold war relic, imagine how they felt!

But it was also a really good experience, my Papa explained things like nuclear deterrence and the post-WWII political world all the way home in the car. I understood barely any of it, but it was a revelation that that's what 'grownup' movies are about, George Clooney does not play a wasteland warlord trying to hunt down and nuke Nicole Kidman's tribe of mutants like I expected. I remember a lot of tech jargon and some running from machine gun fire and maybe a hollow, emotionless kiss at some point? Oh the 90's.

Only a few hours left in the auction, friendos! And I'm making a last-minute adjustment to heat things up:

The threshold for both remaining auctions to include your own on-demand movie nite has been lowered from 50 to 40 dollars. That means the next bid on either the anime or the Howdy Doody could include a custom event at the time of your choosing!

and if the anime videos should get taken down, I've got a great suggestion for what we could watch instead

Wisely played, it's a 100% Leraika-made movie nite if that happens. If they both get mysteriously struck from Youtube at the last minute...

Auctions, right? Wild!

The auctions have closed! Congratulations to the winners!

Raiders of Galaxy and Defenders of Space go to Leraika for 40 dollars US!

And the Howdy Doody Music Appreciation Special goes to Professor Crocodile for 40 dollars US!

Both our winners will get to pick their own custom time for a Coupons & Deals Movie Nite special, watching their respective terrible, terrible films. In the next week please contact me about how to pay for your items and where to ship them, and thank you again for supporting the movie nite awards!

That's the last of our auctions but please watch this space as we confirm the last details, as well as for a few more special announcements about the upcoming movie awards!

Thank you all so much for participating in the 2023 BYOB auction house, it is my sincere hope that the 'yob can do this sort of thing again for other causes some day as it has been a real treat, and the generosity of our fellows has warmed my heart. More soon!

I am legitimately afraid to open the Howdy Doody disk. I ain't trying to get The Ring'ed by a ginger cowboy puppet.
