Terminator Is Out There

[Mr. Tea]

Then again, nomad said lots of things.

 

[Mr. Tea]

I imagine Yyyaldrin lives like this. Carrying a tree trunk over his shoulder on the way back to his studio in the Alps

The famous Dutch alps!

 

[luka]

Spaceballs

One striking thing
1. The iconography of the city in these olden days is a no go zone patrolled by psychopathic street punks

Or maybe I'll watch escape from New York tonight

 

[luka]

On the one hand you've got Hollywood selling the American lifestyle, land of plenty, fridge the size of a house but you've also got this nightmare vision of the cities where democrat voters live

 

[muser]

I met an Austrian couple once and the guy made the same yaoweee awyaow noises Arnie makes when he's struggling with something. Germans don't make that noise I don't think.

 

[luka]

We had an Austrian German teacher I think his name was Gruber and some kids found photos of him doing naked hiking in the mountains lying around.

That's one of the (presumably inadvertent) great things about Arnie's casting in Terminator – that he was a Bavarian German, I mean. The voice of mechanised sociopathic slaughter.

That accent basically never made sense again ("Detective Jahn Kimble").

But it's the same with every single Arnie or Van Damme... here's Dave back from a European holiday where he picked up a bit of an accent, but don't worry he's as American as you or I, now watch him kick the shit out of everything.

 

[woops]

i mentioned that arnie's bollocks take some punishment in total recall and that seems to be a key trope of 80s films. the good guys end up with loads of money and the bad guys get a kick in the nuts. the ultimate indignity, worse than death

 

[version]

There's that bizarre scene in Casino Royale where Bond's stripped, tied to a chair and has his balls smacked about with a big rope.

 

[luka]

What film you watching tonight woops

 

[woops]

commando, like i said,.,,,

 

[luka]

I thought it was me that's said that?

 

[luka]

What film you wTching tonight Oliver Craner

 

[version]

Showgirls, in preparation for his groundbreaking essay.

 

[craner]

I might watch another episode of Selling Sunset.

 

[version]

I might watch a film right now. Thinking of having a pot noodle and watching Black Narcissus.

 

[IdleRich]

Paul Verhoeven is great but we saw Showgirlfs recently and I still didn't really like it. It doesn't deserve to be reviled as it is but it's not good.

I might watch a film right now. Thinking of having a pot noodle and watching Black Narcissus.

What flavour?

 

[version]

Beef and tomato.
