After anim8r mentioned it, I watched Bionic Ever After? The question
mark is part of the title, and the cheesiness of that gives you a good
idea of the whole movie.
Boy, Lee Majors really lucked out with The Six Million Dollar Man. The
man's not a good actor. Lindsey Wagner may not be Meryl Streep, but
she's convincing when the script lets her be. Lee Majors is often
obviously acting, and now that I've seen him again, I recall that I kind
of noticed it even as a kid.
Oscar looked like he wanted to be somewhere else. Rudy seemed to be
trying, which I guess makes sense since he's the third or fourth Rudy.
The pacing, staging, and other direction was all kind of choppy and
strange. After the first batch of bad guys turned up, I kept forgetting they'd appeared. The characters didn't seem that interested in the gun- toting bad guys, so why should I care?
I read the original book, Cyborg, on which The Six Million Dollar Man
was based. The book wasn't for kids.
the beginning, and after he's crippled, Oscar Gold (I think it was
Oscar)
up with him immediately. It was better to dump him at once than to stay
a while and leave him later. Even if she stayed forever, he'd always
know she pitied him, and he deserved someone who truly loved him as his post-accident self.
In this movie, Jamie gets bionic disease,
Steve to bail. Instead, Jamie is fed cliches that Steve loves her true
inner self and won't mind a bit if she's crippled. I guess it was just a happy coicidence that Steve fell in love with the only bionic woman on Earth. What are the odds?
In the end, Jamie's bionics are repaired, and the bad guys are defeated.
I don't remember what they wanted. I'm not sure it was ever made clear.
What a terrible movie.

He wasn't a good actor *on* $6 MILLION. Nor was he all that great on THE FALL GUY. When Heather Thomas is out-acting you, you might want to ask why you don't have a huge case of imposter syndrome.

I remember when they tried to make that a thing. I wonder if I'm going to get bionic disease now that I'm a cyborg with a half-metal arm?

Superman (streaming) The new 2025 Superman movie starring David

Disclosure Day (theatrical) New sci-fi movie directed by Steven
Spielberg. The premise of the movie is there have been decades of Close Encounters by Extra-Terrestrials on Earth. But the U.S. government has
been trying to keep secret the Arrival of these aliens and there is a
shady Men in Black style agency tasked with keeping those secrets.
However, a group of humans have stolen evidence of the of the Extra-Terrestrials existence and try to Disclose the information to the public. Colin Firth stars as the head of the secret agency that will
stop at nothing to prevent the world from learning humanity has made
Contact with aliens. I know it's getting mixed reviews, but overall, I liked this movie. Off the top of my head, of all the "alien" movies directed by Spielberg, this is probably his best one.

Hey, thanks for asking!
I fell down a rabbit hole. Somehow I watched a YouTube video about the history of the Knight Rider franchise. And I tracked down and watched a lot of of the material. I ended up completely confused, but it?s because the video was completely wrong. It mostly featured the history of knight rider 2008, which was about the son of David Hasselhoff but they referred to it
as team Knight writer, which is an entirely different unconnected show. I
was almost gonna tell Ian that IMDb needed correcting but I finally figured out they were right and YouTube was wrong.
There?s apparently the original four season Knight Rider series (1982)
Code of Vengeance (1985) which Wikipedia claims is a spinoff, but I haven?t found yet (but a friend of mine?s mom is in it!)
Knight Rider 2000 advertised as the first movie to take place in the 21st century (it didn?t and it wasn?t)
Knight Rider 2010, which was completely disconnected from everything else
and starred Hudson Leick as the beautiful ghost inhabiting the car
Knight Rider 2008 would serve as the pilot for the sequel series about his son and actually had a guest shot by David Hasselhoff himself
Knight Rider 2008 the series with a couple really cute women that got a serious reboot and recast in the middle
Team Knight Rider (1987)

The Furious (theatrical) New action movie that starts off in an
undisclosed Asian country where a female reporter has been investigating
a child trafficking organization and tracked down where they are keeping little girls.ÿ But she's captured by the gang.ÿ Soon thereafter a father (Xie Miao) is out with his young daughter and after a minor fight she
walks off and is kidnapped by the child traffickers.ÿ But what the gang
of kidnappers don't know is that little girl's father has a very
particular set of skills, skills he acquired over a very long career.
Skills that make him a nightmare for a child trafficking ring.ÿ He sets
out to rescue his daughter, beating to a pulp anyone who gets in his
way.ÿ And he's soon joined by the husband (Joe Taslim) of the journalist
who was kidnapped, and the two of them beat even more people to a pulp
who get in the way of them rescuing their loved ones.ÿ This movie is basically "Taken," "The Raid," and "The Protector" all thrown into one,
with a healthy dose of the hallway fight from "Old Boy" thrown in for
good measure.
Not that that's a bad thing!ÿ I should also mention "Mad
Dog" from the "Raid" movies is in this flick doing what "Mad Dog" from
the "Raid" movies does best.

Oh, wait, I do remember the 2008 reboot with Justin Bruening and Deanna Russo and Smith Cho.

It was based on a book?
Man and Bionic Woman were already cancelled and in reruns. But of the
two, The Bionic Woman is the one they reran all the time, so that became
my show. I never really got into The Six Million Dollar Man. Even when
he appeared on crossover episodes I didn't really care.
What a terrible movie.
I know I watched it when it originally aired, but I have no memory of
it. I remember the Sandra Bullock movie more or less. Well mostly
less, but still more than this one. I'm surprised this one was made
after the Bullock movie. I would have thought it was the other way around.
This is a multiday catchup. I think I'm about a week behind. Over the
last week I watched:
The Legend of Billie Jean (blu-ray) 1985 movie starring Helen Slater and Christian Slater as two siblings (no relation in real life)
the run from the law after attempting some vigilante justice to recover money owed to them by a sleezy businessman. Fair is fair, it's been a
while since I last watched this and figured I should give it another
watch. I had a commentary track on with Helen Slater and her costar Yeardley Smith. But Smith spent most of the commentary just asking
Slater if she remembered whatever was on screen.
Supergirl (blu-ray) 1984 movie (International Cut) starring Helen Slater
as the Girl of Steel. The movie holds up great, but I'm still holding
out hope for a 4K upgrade one day.

I like this movie a lot. The first time I ever saw Helen Slater she was on the tonight show with Johnny Carson, looking like Billie Jean, but pushing the upcoming Supergirl release. It got me into Pat Benatar music.

The movie that is inexplicably better the longer version you hold out for. There are all sorts of weird stories about the production.
Cartoonist Graham Wilson wrote a review of it where he said that if there
was a sequel, Helen Slater should have it put in her contract that they
can?t let the wires show.

Guess she's retired from acting as the last project listed is in 2017.
Now she listed as being a real estate agent and has a wine company.

It needs a chip in it, and somebody has to secretly cut the arm open and infect the chip. Although now they could probably do it wirelessly. Farrah Forkle was the bad girl and she could cut me open anytime.
