Joe Don Baker would just show up, drunk, waving around that machine gun he had in The Living Daylights, going "pow pow pow."

In case anyone thought he looked familiar the gang leader in this movie played Robert Denby in Riding with Death.

You know, for a movie called "The T-Bird Gang" the titular T-Bird sure didn't feature much in it.

Dawgstar posted:Neurological actually. Mike has had a migraine since his 20s of varying intensity and at this point it seems like the only test left would be like exploratory surgery as his neurologist has put him through everything else. I've got this. I've been through so many tests, scans and medications over many many years. They have absolutely no idea why it's happening. They suspect that the veins leading into my head might be too thin but cannot be certain. It sucks.

Data Graham posted:Are we deliberately forgetting "they hired a temp by the name of Mike"? They can rewrite the lyrics however they want It's not so much that, it's that "Emily" is 3 syllables, but "Joel", "Mike", and "Jonah" aren't, so the regular structure of the song can't fit her in. They'll have to rewrite of course, but HOW!? "...and her name was Emily" would fit the rhyming scheme though.

Mike and Joel are one syllable, and they had no problem with Jonah being two syllables. They'll be fine.

There is no "regular structure of the song" Every name is handled differently The only place it's historically been at all consistent would be "Now keep in mind EMILY can't control where the movies begin or end", but they can just do "she" if they can't spit it out that fast

There are a few things I do get grognardy about in the Netflix opening and hope they manage to be a little less cargo-cult about this time around: - The pause in the song when Jonah decides to go help, no sir, I don't like it - "I'll send him cheesy movies" — the camera is pulled so far back you can't even see that it's Kinga saying the line. Make it a close-up, preferably with gross old film reels or projectors or VHS tapes or figure out some way to do a "digital streaming" visual joke, don't make it an establishing shot, drat. That's like legit bad directing - The "la la las" as trumpets as I mentioned before, and the mad drumming during robot roll call, like just calm down ffs; I guess I just don't know about the whole "house band" concept (though "Skeleton Crew" is a good gag), it feels rather tonally inconsistent in a way I can't really articulate I don't know, "overproduced" is a word that gets bandied about but in the case of this kind of lo-fi thing it's really easy to ruin it by putting one more dollar into it than you should have e: the band holding saxophones up to their closed helmets and pretending to play them as they sway around, I guess that might be intended to be "ironically stupid", but it just looks stupid And also like I mentioned the retro instrumental versions of songs like "Creepy Girl" felt really fun when the whole idea was nostalgic wallowing like "hey we brought it back against all odds", but after a while it just started to grate, like they were milking it for every commercial break e: and another thing, how does he eat and breathe Data Graham fucked around with this message at 14:57 on May 12, 2021 |

The wording of theme song has always been super-flexible. The first part has, at least; the back half has been a lot more stable. But compare the Joel theme to one of the themes from the SciFi Channel seasons. In between "not-too-distant future" and "send him cheesy movies", there's not a single word in common. And this is a great excuse to post my favorite flowchart.

I don't know how you can hear that song and think "wow, every syllable of this is placed very precisely by a meticulous composer" - especially since there have been like 6 different sets of lyrics

I'd forgotten about Mike's migraine thing, that must be so fuckin' unbearable. Never mind not getting involved in the revival, I don't think anyone could fault him for taking long breaks from everything to lie down in a dark room.
