Anyone who thinks Hank would remotely like Trump has a fundamental misunderstanding of his character and probably doesn't know much about the show other than it being about Texans. Still, a KOTH season now would be interesting. Dealing with the election would probably just break Hank's mind full stop as soon as Trump won the nomination for the Republicans.

Bill would get super into the alt-right though and publicly declare himself an incel. Dale would find himself falling in with a crowd of anti-government anarchists. Boomhauer will have turned out to be a Democrat for the last decade.

The Cult 1980s Action Movie Cinematic Universe. Burt Gummer teams up with Chuck Norris and Cynthia Rothrock to fight a shadowy cabal led Malcolm McDowell, Robert Patrick and Lance Henriksen.

If you had an American team in the 1980s, I reckon it would be fun to fill it out with more obscure or less obvious characters like Lee Stetson and Amanda King, Kassandra from Warlock, Johnny from The Dead Zone and so on, and the "M" character would be Laura Holt acting through Remington Steele.

If you want something close, there's a comic crossover between Escape From New York and Big Trouble in Little China just coming to an end now.

We have to remember that Dale, while being pretty nutty crazy, was progressive in his own way. He was supportive of John Redcorn's attempts to get his land and fine with him being gay. gently caress, he was fine with his own dad being gay!

I doubt Hank would like Trump just based on the fact the man has an ego the size of Texas, he's never wrong, and the second Hank tried to explain propane, Trump would bark about charcoal. Or Trump would put his hands on Luanne, and Hank would have to kick his rear end.

Bill would do whatever Hank told him. IE, Trump might have a wonderful head of hair, but he's a huge jerk.

Cotton would love Trump until the latter insulted veterans or his height. Then game on, you Yankee!

I like to imagine an episode that ends with all the guys plus Khan, Cotton, Luanne, Peggy, and everyone else drinking beer and bonding over their distinct reasons for hating the Trump administration.

But analysis is spot on. Hank would have probably been a Kasich or Jeb guy.

If there was a 90s version the Hoffs character from Batwatch would definitely be in it.

My irrationally irritating moment about that picture is the Pokeball. I'm aware Pokemon came out in 96 but the number of people here in the US that go "I started playing Pokemon with Red/Blue in 96" forgetting we didn't get the games until 98 is irrationally irritating.

And I know these people. They aren't capable of running an emulator or reading Japanese in 2017 they certainly weren't 20 years ago.

My IIMM for that image has always been the conspicuous lack of Martin Brody on the 70s wall. You could have even used him to tie in to the 1930s US League in the obvious way.

Look man it isn't Burts fault that graboids keep changing. Dude tries so hard but then they become flightless bird looking things and then they become rocket propelled things and then whatever the gently caress was up with Queen Bitch.

He did pretty well against Shriekers even when he was caught unprepared, though.

Burt fought off giant lizard beasts with his goddamned hands.

Tremors is good because the characters meaningfully engaged with the premise. The monsters weren't just invincible until killed via deus ex machina. The characters had to figure things out and sometimes a monster just hosed up and got shot to death. The sequels feature an escalation because the characters actually succeeded in understanding the threat and people know how to beat it. The graboids are just dangerous animals and you need precautions for for dealing with them. Kind of like the first Terminator and Alien sequels which are more action oriented because the characters are prepared but the threat is bigger than expected.

My irritating movie moment is all of the Jurassic Park sequels. The original lays out an entire chain of failure that leads to a disaster. The sequels just have idiots dying to the same dumb animals because contrived events occur, like the Jaws sequels.

It's been too long since I've seen The Lost World, but JP3's premise seemed pretty okay? It was basically that some rich idiots ended up at Site B or whatever that island was called after InGen pulled up stakes and moved out.

Jurassic World, now there's a movie with a loving weak premise. I still can't understand how that triceratops shitpile of a movie got so much praise.
