), but in the late 90s, they went out in theatres and they made loads of money. I think that's funny in a strange way. Those must have been the last movies like that.

I imagine that the 1999 tv movie Primal Force probably would have had a theatrical release if it had featured a bigger name in the lead role than Ron Perlman. (This is the movie where Ron Perlman knife fights a mutated baboon and it's one of my all-time favourite cheap-rear end genre schlock B-movies.)

In fact, I think the most recent Tremors movie came out last year and there's another one being made at the moment.

There's also a (second) Syfy Tremors TV series filming now, with Kevin Bacon coming back as Val.

My stepfather was an alcoholic piece of poo poo, but bless him for renting or taking us to see every weird Sci-Fi movie that came out in the 90s. It was a magical time.

Remember how, between The Rock, Con Air, Face/Off and Gone In 60 Seconds, Nicolas Cage was somehow one of the biggest action stars in the world for a couple of years in the late 90s?

Tremors 2, 3, & 4, while not as good as the original, are still fun owing to the fact that the writers of the first one are involved in the rest of them. 5 is utter poo poo since they ditched them, and decided to get rid of the comedy bits. Plus they added Jamie Kennedy to the cast.

I think every mall (where they still have customers) has that store that opens with the fads and goes out of business and next month they're back up with a new owner selling snap bracelets. They're probably all vape shops for the time being.

About ten, fifteen years ago, there was a shop at noted DeadMall Rolling Acres Mall that only sold grillz. I laughed for a bit, then did what everyone else did at that mall and left without buying anything.
