Is This Something?

This is Blumhouse's take on Fantasy Island.

I know, I know: It sounds like they took the DNA of hot garbage and mixed it with the DNA of trash-fire.

But... I'm interested.

Oh, if you're thinking that music they play in the beginning sounds familiar, you must be one of the 100 people who watched Body Double fifty times on HBO when you were younger than 29.

I visit the Warzone (military equipment site) in an intermittent basis and one of the writers was slobbering all over Picard.

I read the first couple of paragraphs and had to stop. It was embarrassing. This guy write about defense industry news and he's a gibbering Trekkie fanboi idiot.I'm sure he think this makes him cool and relatable, but it actually makes him a soytastic loser who has zero credibility.

Ace's fantasy is to be a sailor on a mighty warship that gets washed overboard and rescued by the U-69, a pirate submarine crewed entirely by lithesome Teutonic beauties.

Cruising the tropics in sweltering heat, he learns their language and teaches each of the young ladies about love and desire. Sometimes several at once.

The dark twist is that his own ship puts a torpedo in the U-69 and though it manages to surface in time for him to avoid a watery grave, he's already dead of sexual exhaustion.

Theres even some good Russian TV shows too. One in particular that starts with a cop who hunts down a pedophile but he has no evidence to arrest him.

So what he does is kidnaps the guy, drops him in the sewer, and then parks an abandoned car over the hatch so the pedo can never get out.

That is what I call wholesome, quality entertainment.

Loved that show as a kid - so did my dad and my grandma. And yeah - they went places shows are too scared to go now.


A common theme was giving people exactly what they wanted - until they begged for no more of it. Honestly - a pretty good take on things if you ask me.

Don't plan on watching this new one. And not because of the black chic - just because I'm not gonna' sit there and watch them ruin another old piece of nostalgia for me.

I don't know who the actress would be - but if there's a black actress that could emulate Ikora from Destiny - she'd be the bees knees running Fantasy Island.

Although the big music in that movie is "Relax", which put it into popular consciousness - perfect use of it in a pron scene.
I agree with earlier comments that the original Fantasy Island had a dark element. I even remember one episode implying one of Roark's enemies is a devil (the actor's eyes became red as he warned Roark, etc.), implying Roark was an angel providing warnings to mortals.

192 146 No interest in this, but Body Double...I re-watched it recently and was pleasantly surprised how well it stood up. It is still really entertaining, even if nekkid young Melanie Griffith does nothing for me. And yes I recognize the music.

Although the big music in that movie is "Relax", which put it into popular consciousness - perfect use of it in a pron scene.

I agree with earlier comments that the original Fantasy Island had a dark element. I even remember one episode implying one of Roark's enemies is a devil (the actor's eyes became red as he warned Roark, etc.), implying Roark was an angel providing warnings to mortals.

Pino Donaggio is a really great composer who isn't as well known as he should be. He worked with DePalma on most of his early classic stuff and did some really memorable scores for some horror movies. Tourist Trap is a super creepy little flick that's surprisingly scary for a PG rated flick and his score elevates it a lot. Also it's got busty Tanya Roberts.

I see the Angela Bassett mention earlier - but I don't know. She seems to be all in on the Uncompromising Bitch You Love to Hate roles. She's pretty good at 'em, too. But I don't see that for Ms. Roarke. However - I see the logic of the selection.


I can tell you who would have been fucking perfect - fifteen years ago. Whoopi Goldberg, channeling her Guinan performance off Star Trek. But she's far too committed to the cause to put in a performance like that now.

She's not black - but the older Indian chic off The Expanse could have pulled it off.

"Despite Americans' concerns that the economic system favors the wealthy, the latest Post-ABC poll finds that"

-------

Uh-huh.

Doesn't matter what system you're in - the wealthyhave been, by definition, favored by it. Whether the system rewards hard work and ingenuity or Party membership, it favors the wealthy by giving them wealth.

But I do get the sentiment, though in a far different way than the ABC asspounding butt-pirate pollster would like.

I think the American political system so strongly favors the incumbent crony capitalist, Statist lapdog that the economic system has come to resemble the latter more than the former.

And I'm not the only one.

And that sort of thing is what leads to the rare circumstance of bourgeois revolution.

257 If you guys haven't gotten "Shudder" yet, they have "Tourist Trap" on it.

1. The prints Shudder gets are amazing. If you saw your '70s and '80s horror on grainy VHS (or Beta!) playing on a 19" screen, you won't believe the stuff you couldn't make out back then that now works. (TCSM, for example, was just blurry blobs in the dark.)

2. Joe Bob Briggs hosts "Tourist Trap", so you can watch his commentary (optional) and he is a huge Chuck Connors fan, and a fan of the movie. All kinds of interesting tidbits.

(There's also a Rifftrax of "Tourist Trap" which has some funny moments.)

OK, so you're tasked with casting a woman of color as Ms. Roarke, but
you don't just want a diversity hire. Who would you cast that might
actually be able to pull the character off?

Here. They haven't travelled. Died 5 days ago. One 10 day hospital stay died of brain hemorrhage. The other just went to the doctor and family thought she was getting better, and died in their sleep. Parents are trying to figure out if autopsies are being performed or if they have been buried. Both familes said the doctors have never seen anything like it before. I guess it depends on how serious the CDC is taking things, and the fact the Hong Kong data release during press conference is being ignored and flights are still allowed out of China into the country, I'd say we aren't taking it serious like the Hong Kong Scientists said we should locally and globally.

Are you a fan of "Riverdale"?



Or this new 'Sabrina' thing?

372 But he did introduce the teutonic beauties to the need for Bone Broth.

Well, that's a new euphemism.

373 OT, but I want to comment on the last post.

First of all, ABC/WaPo has always been a heavy skew Dem poll. They had some polls with Hillary winning by double digits. If Trump is statistically tied, then that is very bad news for the Dems.

Second, the entire "Trump is tied/Trump is in trouble" narrative just doesn't pass the smell test. Compare, in 2016 the Dems were running their best candidate. While her problems were many, she was the best they could field because she did bring in key Dem constituencies like feminists. Trump was an unknown and many suspected a potential RINO.

Fast forward to now. Trump is a known quantity, the country is better off than 4 years ago by every measure, the voters are giving Trump the credit for it, and not a single Dem candidate is better than the one that lost to Trump previously.

Yet they want us to believe that voters are going to vote against Trump this time because he tweets, and might have wanted Biden's corruption investigated?

It defies logic.

374 347 Because, of course, that's all life is - sick fantasies of revenge and doom and life-denying hatefulness, where everyone is forced to realize that they're rotten ambulatory shitbags with no spark of the divine Creator in them at all.

377 Insom, Staaaaap. Not everything has to turn into a dirty joke.

Pork belly turned out great! I brushed it with bourbon aged maple syrup before smoking it, so it has an amazing sweet/salty/spicy flavor.

Making tacos with it tonight.
Pork belly hash on Saturday for breakfast. If it lasts that long.

378 I always think of Fantasy Island and Love Boat together but they probably have nothing in common.

ISTR the Love Boat pulling into Fantasy Island in a few episodes.

I liked that movie, "Kafka" quite a bit.

It had Theresa Russell in it, but she wasn't nekklid.


And it really didn't have anything to do with Kafka...just sorta p[layed around with a Kafkan vibe.

Check it out...if you can find it.

383 THis movie is gonna bomb.

384 Logic is a concept ignored by the left because it doesn't fit their concepts.

385 They say viral meningitis can be mistaken for the flu because of similar symptoms...
Posted by: Jeffrey Epstein 2002 at January 27, 2020 07:29 PM (oVJmc)

Brain hemorrhage person was in a very good hospital for 10 days before dying and doctors called it the strangest flu they have ever seen. The other person just went to doctor, was getting better, and died in their sleep. I'm guessing all kinds of tests were run on the former, the latter is a mystery.

Hollywood released a Banana Splits horror movie a few months ago.

So, this must be a new thing...horrorizing goofy and schmaltzy old TV shows.

Hugh Grant can DIAF.
