    From Ubiquitous@3:633/10 to All on Monday, June 15, 2026 04:30:41
    I watched:

    WE ARE THE 80'S

    WE ARE THE 80'S

    WE ARE THE 80'S

    WE ARE THE 80'S

    CHARLIE'S ANGELS:
    "Angels at Sea". A couple is killed on a cruise ship when they are trapped in
    a passageway that is filled with gas. The angels are hired to find out who is doing all of this because the owner is losing business. The angels decide to take the case even though it will be very dangerous because they can't walk away from the ship. There is a knock at the door and the angels find a dummy pinned to the door of the office. The note says that they shouldn't sail on
    the ship.
    The angels board the ship after going over profiles of the crew. A mind
    reader claims to know who the killer is. All the angels have a note telling them they will be killed. The mind-reader reads Jill's mind quite well ... scarily. Sabrina's room is torched while she is out at dinner. The angels are awakened to a "Man Overboard" all. As Bosley gets up from the alarm, someone knocks him over the head with a gun. A dummy wearing Bosley's pj's is thrown from the crow's nest and gun shots ring out. The angels try to find the
    killer but only find the gun and a very naked Bosley!
    One of the crew members is found by Jill, hanging in the hallway. Kelly is trapped in the same passageway as the first couple. The room begins to fill with steam. Kelly manages to free an overhead escape hatch. Bosley and the group come out and announce they are investigators. They announce Kelly was killed and announce they know who killed the people but they are going to take finger prints. Kelly watches the area where the steam valve is to see if someone will try to remove their prints. The mind reader tries to do it and
    he is surprised by Kelly. The gang try to catch him but he is able to escape from them. Harry, the mind-reader, is crazy and announces there are bombs planted on the ship. He refuses to tell them where they are ... he is already dead.
    One of the crew members find one of the bombs. After some crazy talk from Harry, he tells them where the three bombs are hidden. Charlie sets up a
    relay with a bomb expert back home. The angels describe the bomb and the
    expert instructs them. It all comes down to one last wire. When the wire is snipped the bomb will blow or they will have just 10 sec or so to get rid of the bomb before it explodes. It doesn't explode right away so they run for
    the deck and toss the bombs. They all explode safely in the water. The
    angels convince Charlie to let them stay on the cruise and finish off.

    HART TO HART:
    "Does She or Doesn't She?". Hairdresser Barry styles the hair of the
    creme de la creme. But when his clients wind up blackmailed to pay
    Barry's loan shark, can the Harts help Barry break free before someone
    winds up dead?

    FANTASY ISLAND
    ? "Return". Roarke and a woman who's been to the island before fall in love, but she must choose between staying with him and saving her late husband's hospital school in India

    ? "The Toughest Man Alive". A self-professed wimp wants the strength to stand up for himself and others who are weak like him.

    What did you watch?

    Bionic Ever After
    Steve and Jamie finally get married in this absolutely ridiculous low rent
    TV movie. How come none of these reunion movies ever hire professional
    actors? The big danger is that Dracula is going to blow up the small
    Caribbean island hostages are on with a nuke that turns out to be a bluff,
    so there was no big danger after all. Meanwhile, the actual inventor of
    bionics gives Steve and Jamie a computer virus as revenge for her father
    dying drunk. And Jamie gets some upgrades that make no sense.

    It has Lindsay Wagner and Lee Majors. Do they need anyone else?

    The big danger is that Dracula is going to blow up the small

    WHAT???

    with a nuke that turns out to be a bluff,
    so there was no big danger after all. Meanwhile, the actual inventor of bionics gives Steve and Jamie a computer virus as revenge for her father dying drunk. And Jamie gets some upgrades that make no sense.

    I must see this movie. Looks like it's on the Roku Channel. I'm all over
    it.

    The Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman finally get married, aided
    and abetted by Oscar Goldman and the third Doctor Rudy Wells.

    And Lee Majors II!

    The villain is Geordie Johnson, best known as Count Dracula, also starring Sheba from Battlestar Galactica.

    one with Sandra Bullock. Enjoy!

    I watched the first episode of the new CAPE FEAR on the Apples. So far it's a decent re-telling of a movie that's already been made twice before. Other than the question of why it needed to be re-made a third time, I think they've done a good job. Javier Bardem is chewing the scenery with gusto as Max Cady.

    I still lament that Lindsay turned down the role of Janeway on VOYAGER. She
    was made for that role and would have made the show so much better. (Although she's only an actor, not a writer, so Janeway would probably have still turned out to be the same genocidal bitch she was under Mulgrew.)

    You'd think Lindsay Wagner would have reminded them of that. Maybe she
    didn't care any more, or figured no one would see it anyway.

    The whole production felt like that

    I still lament that Lindsay turned down the role of Janeway on VOYAGER. She was made for that role and would have made the show so much better. (Although she's only an actor, not a writer, so Janeway would probably have still turned
    out to be the same genocidal bitch she was under Mulgrew.)


    I think every other choice for every role would have been better.

    What did you watch?

    I've been watching season #3 of "Foundation" off Apple TV over the
    weekend - I'm about halfway through it now.

    I also watched a couple of very disappointing movies off Tubi over the
    last few days, but I don't even think they are worth critiquing/reviewing. >>
    And I've been watching lots of World Cup soccer - I enjoyed tuny Cura‡ao
    scoring the goal against Germany. [evil smirk]

    On Fri's GH, I enjoyed Dark Willow standing up to awful Tracy
    Quartermaine, and then pulling one over on her by setting Tracy up with
    Chase (who promptly arrested Tracy!!).

    I watched the first episode of the new CAPE FEAR on the Apples. So far it's a decent re-telling of a movie that's already been made twice before. Other than
    the question of why it needed to be re-made a third time, I think they've done
    a good job. Javier Bardem is chewing the scenery with gusto as Max Cady.


    Thanks, the fire stick offered it to me. I?ll take a look.

    Snipped.


    I should have added this to my other post but I forgot.

    Over the weekend I got in a movie.

    I saw CONTAGION, a 2011 movie about an outbreak that impacts the
    entire world. It starts out with a woman partying in a casino in Hong
    Kong. She then arranges to meet someone in Chicago on a layover to her
    home in MN. Along the way she develops a slight fever but continues
    home to her husband (after her sex romp in Chicago) where she is
    feeling even worse to she goes to the hospital. Where she dies within
    what seems to be a day from her first symptom.

    Every day it seems there are more people contracting the disease
    around the world as it seems this is a highly contagious disease with
    a high death rate. Around 1 in 4 that get the disease expire.

    The story covers the dad and daughter dealing with the situation as
    society falls apart while the various health organizations work on a
    vaccine. All seems so familiar even to the point of the government
    blaming some of the people working finding a cure for the spread of
    the disease. While the movie doesn't get every thing right so many of
    the notes in the movie could easily be about COVID-19 even though
    movie was made a decade before COVID.

    Good stuff with a great cast.

    Seriously, didn?t it feel like standing doing a blocking and lighting test
    and somebody said that that?s good enough print it?
