So, what’s a movie that starts with a shot of cleavage and has Angus Scrimm? Get this one right and you may be the champion at the next bar trivia challenge. It’s this film! All of you who picked The Lost Empire chose wisely!
Welcome to trashy film night, everyone! Lower your expectations and have a good time! This film is by Jim Wynorski, who was a protege of Roger Corman. And he delivers the goods in this film! BY GOODS MEAN…
- Awesome 80’s women in crazy outfits
- Non-stop action
- Angus Scrimm
Jim both wrote and directed this film. In fact, tonight’s film was his directorial debut. He has (so far) directed over 100 films and he produced some of the most cable-riffic films of the 80’s and 90’s such as Chopping Mall, Deathstalker II, Scream Queen Hot Tub Party, Sorceress and more! All of those and more filled up cable TV and video rental stores during the great 80s and 90s hey day of B movies.
I thought about writing up the plot a little, but I am phoning it in and stealing from IMDB: It’s “A Roaring Adventure With Blistering Action and Eye-Popping Women.” So celebrate and dig through the trash with me! Watch! Or Don’t! Everything is voluntary!
Next week… I am torn! All the Russia/Nazi stuff in the news makes me want to show Dead Snow 2: Red vs. Dead. Sadly, it is a true continuation so I would have to explain the first film. So chances are I will play more trash like Dr. Alien, Hillbillys in a Haunted House, or even Batwoman! Let me know your preference in the comments!

“Chopping Mall”
Truly, a classic.
I saw it on streaming TV the other day and still enjoyed it.
THIS. Love it.
Me too.
All the Russia/Nazi stuff in the news makes me want to show Dead Snow 2: Red vs. Dead. Sadly, it is a true continuation so I would have to explain the first film.
The first film isn’t on tubi?
Diving into tonight’s film…
Of all things, yes. The first one is not on Tubi. I can only assume a different studio did the first one and has yet to sign an agreement with Tubi, Crackle or Pluto.
*raving slowly*
I think she has breast implants.
I wouldn’t bet against you.
Those can’t be real cops… they hit too many times.
And I guess a few don’t get to go home tonight.
“If you’re gonna go to school punk, you better learn to count”
I knew it was five rounds.
I was gonna try to catch you and tell you to count
I was thinking the same thing. Also, no one fired every round in a blind panic.
Lemurians?
Somehow I think this cops will do more about the goons holding kids than the cops in Texas.
See above
Does Angus’ name look like a different font size? Looks odd on the phone…
It’s a different font for me, too. I customize the default font but his name escaped somehow.
It’s his ghost. It messed with the font.
They look too well put-together to have slept together.
Leftover costume from “The Cannonball Run”?
It gets better. The upcoming jungle fighter girl outfits…
Why the hell are the ESPN NHL on ice interviewers wearing masks?
COVID?
Must be the current COVID protocol. It’s the same with the other networks showing the NHL playoffs.
Is this Sin-Doo a libertarian? He has his own island.
Ooo! Good question.
She doesn’t like bras.
Except when she sleeps. Odd.
Now I know i’m going to live forever,

Go Yusef!
Huh. The figure I always heard was “two-thirds”.
I still think I’ll stick to vaping.
Occasional cigar here. Once a month.
God, I would kill to start smoking again. But, married life.
I think I have a solution for you, for a small fee. I’m not sure she would approve…

Yeah, pretty sure she wouldn’t be down for that…
You’re such a hard-core atheist you even edit the dirty “G” word out of direct quotes?
He should use Grud from the Judge Dredd universe.
Agnostic, zigger!
There are sometimes I think their must be a god, and there are sometimes, like when a dear friend dies of cancer, that there is no god and the universe is against me.
See mosquitos and black flies…
I’m not judging your beliefs, I’m judging your editing.

Ugh. no you didn’t forget that part. Fail.
Do it anyways, get caught, fight, have hot makeup sex.
I had a friend who theorized it wasn’t the smoking that necessarily caused cancer, it was the change from stopping smoking that could cause cancer.
He smoked heavily for decades, stopped for a year and then developed lung cancer. He sort of survived it but his lungs were so damaged by radiation treatment to cure the cancer he died a couple of years later.
If I make it to eighty I plan to take it up again…so I got that going for me.
They’re going for a Charlie’s Angels vibe.
Charlie’s Fantasy Angels.
Cleavage, you say?
Love Angus.
Boy!
Me too! Last time I met him was at Frightmare, years ago. We hung out and he told me stories. Such a nice man.
A hunger in America ad. Oh boy.
Fattest. Poor. People. In. The. World. USA,USA,USA!
Pendulous.
I gotta drop off. I will finish this tomorrow. Thanks RJ!
Thanks! Have a good evening!
Fourth wall break!
Yep. And more puns and bon mots than we throw around.
Could they make that laser cannon look more like a dick and balls?
Hahaha! I was laughing my ass off at that! Did you see the giant UL sticker on it too?
OK, that was entertaining.
But I’ve had my fill of 80’s synth music for a while.
If the next movie has a DX-7, I’m burning this place down!
I am really leaning towards Hillbillys in a Haunted House. It fun and charming.
Has country stars and famous movie stars.
Does not compute.
I came here to say the same.
This is the first old movie in about five posts, I think. No matter, next week is country / rockabilly then.
next week is country / rockabilly then.
Woo-hoo!
YES!
It’s just crazy talk.

I prefer my link, honestly. But both are good.
Forgot about this one:
https://youtu.be/JWfzZ0L2pv4
Mine’s from a better movie.
Also, I’m glad that sound was only popular for a few years.
Righteous.
It wouldn’t be 80’s synth soundtrack tunes without one from this master.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UmOY6ek_Y4
Yeah, that’s the stuff.
That’s a nice, but…
https://youtu.be/SQUeQOIlcDM
I don’t think I’ve actually seen that one since the 80’s, time for a rewatch of it.
Some people talk about breaking the barrier of the third dimension. I do something greater on a daily basis. I break the seconder barrier. I enter The First Dimension.
There’s a signpost up ahead. Next stop; The Fisting Zone
Bro! Enjoy the movie. Haven’t seen you here in a while. I think.
Huh.
I thought you just broke wind. ?
The perfect gift for that hard-to-shop-for Glib.
Fantastic.
I need it now. There is a sleepover since summer is over. Very loud and I can’t even watch my own movie post.
Summer is over? I took a nap, but it wasn’t that long.
Apparently I am typing on crack.
Did you bring enough for everyone?!
Apt descriptor. Doesn’t look like it’d be comfortable unless you were unconscious.
The fainting couch is a thing, sort of.
I’m disappointed that they weren’t really purpose made for fainting.
That page doesn’t answer the question of what the hell they were made for.

Now I just need the tasteful MCM house to go with it.
Jeez, that looks like a torture device.
Surprisingly comfy. My SIL works for Herman Millar and has one in her office.
*searches frantically for fainting couch*
Eames. All crazy expensive.
$2000 office chairs. I bet they are worth it (12 year warranty), but fuck…that’s a big outlay.
On year 22 of my Aeron…
I’m on year 14 of current office chair that I dropped maybe $250 on at my work desk and it shows it.
I was looking on Amazon for a new office chair; there were a couple dozen listed in the $10,000 range from companies you’ve never heard of – Chinese knock-offs? The most expensive from a company I had heard of were the Steelcases at around $1,000.
If I’m going to pay $10k for a chair, I expect it to be hand-crafted by a master craftsman to be an exact ergonomic fit to my proportions, and made of exotic leather and reclaimed hardwood that it’d be illegal to cut new.
That looks like something from a German porn movie.
Ja.
German Q
Let me know your preference in the comments!
Obviously something with Ray Liotta in it…
Too soon!
Are the actors names in the intro real? A good number of them could be porn names.

Morning Glibs.
I tried to get some sleep, and failed.
Now I’m in the office, waiting for the rain to come and cheer me up.
Yes, it is stupid early to be in the office, but I avoided the traffic, and I really couldn’t sit around that house any longer.
As the friday before a long weekend, I hope it will be quiet today.
Good morning, U, l0, DEG, Sean, & Stinky!
I got very little sleep, but I think I know the culprit. I really shouldn’t glug down whatever’s left of the morning coffee in my travel mug when I finally get home at the end of the day. I swear it has a delayed effect.
Wassamatter, U? ?
I achieved a goal (Painted May’s Minis) and became listless instead of moving on to the next goal. I want to get my kitchen cleaned up in case I need to let any of the roofers borrow the bathroom, but it’s at that “Look upon the pending work and despair” stage of a cleanup project. I have three weeks to get it to “Not embarassing in front of strangers”. Since the bathroom is clean and it’s a straight shot from the kitchen door to there, I only need get the one room in order to be able to achieve that. Also, somehow any time I move my car from my parking spot, it gets filled up and I have to park a block away, even if it’s 10pm and I made a quick run to the grocery store for eggs so I can try the Hayeksplosives meatball formula. I haven’t cooked it yet because I need a good uninterrupted span in the kitchen (which needs cleaning) to make meatballs. And my comp time wasn’t vacation worthy because both days got interrupted by work meetings I couldn’t miss.
You know, petty things.
Oh, I understand so much of that! ::glances at kitchen, then averts eyes in shame:: I’ve even been annoyed that the gal who recently transferred from a branch to our back office at work doesn’t seem to have a clue about the (unwritten) parking protocol with respect to seniority. I wish someone would clue her in, but it’s not my place to do so, as I’m one of the ones with seniority.
Lots of little annoyances are almost worse than one big enfuriation. (Is that a word? Can we say it is now?) ?
I think infuriation is spelled with an I.
And who exactly is supposed to pass on unwritten rules?
I keep hoping the coworkers in her department will do so. One other recent transfer seemed to get the idea fairly quickly. But I’ll just have to remind myself that this gives me the opportunity to get more “steps” in (that I’m not really counting.)
Somewhat related to the cleaning topic, I’ve noticed that with, say, the bathroom, which I’ve managed to keep clean, I’ll be fussing over little things like lint on the floor which wouldn’t even register in a messier room, but because it’s cleaner in there, I notice more. I wonder if the same thing will happen should I get the kitchen up to spec.
That tends to happen to me on those rare occasions when the kitchen, bathroom, or carpet (note – not “and,” as I can’t say all three have ever been clean at the same time) have been clean. Clean bathroom = obsessing over tiny specks on the huge vanity mirror.
I’m looking forward to not having any work to do this weekend for once. Unless another “Friday surprise” comes along today.
I want to assemble the kitchen shelves and get the clean dishes out of the dishdrain.
I somehow have a large kitchen with almost no cabinet space.
Can you stand in the middle of your kitchen and twirl around with your arms stretched out at your sides? That’s very important in a kitchen. ::recalls doing so when finally released from the prison of a narrow galley kitchen::
You might hit the light fixture that hangs abnormally low that I haven’t gotten around to raising yet. Even with my span of arms. My house has a very simple layout, and about a quarter of it’s overall footprint is the kitchen – that’s close to 250 sq ft. My estimates put the room at 12.5 x 15-20ft* It also has cabinets only along one wall, which also houses a giant window, the fridge, sink, and stove, each of which interrupts the cabinet space in some way.
*depends on whether you include the laundry nook
When I worked with automotive engineers years ago, I swear the workaholics would somehow arrange for a Friday afternoon crisis so they wouldn’t have to go home for the weekend on time. (And good morning, rhy!)
Mornin’.
Yet it is amazing how much time some coworkers manage to fill with kid stuff. “I gotta pick my kid up from school”, “I gotta take my kid to soccer practice”, and on and on.
My mom didn’t do any of that. Then again I took the bus home and planted myself in front of the television for the rest of the day as was the style at the time.
+1 key latch. I’m there with you. Mom was working 2nd shift and Dad didn’t get home until 5 or 6.
I took the bus or walked to school and took my bike or walked to baseball practice.
Star Blasers and Tom and Jerry were good company.
GT,
This usually happens by chain reaction. Some engineer has been putting off something for most of the week, then finds out that something bad is about to or has happened.
Then he or she realizes that something needs to be done before the weekend to demonstrate their vigilance. This is also so the issue can be forgotten about or blunted by the weekend.
This will result in manufacturing sending exclamation point emails to suppliers, other teams, and the management. Thus more emergency meeting get called and so on.
That seems like a rather clever strategy. Them engineers is smart!
My favorite real-life example (which I’ve mentioned before, and which may not have been anticipated at all) was one winter Friday when a warehouse full of airbag modules several states away (if not actually over the border in May-hee-co) got cold, and all the horns in the modules started going off at once.
The worst is the end of the year. A customer has been putting all of your parts that failed for the year in a bin and never said anything to you about their existence.
Some where in the latter part of December they send you a bag with 30 parts and a email demanding a explanation, full failure analysis, containment, and corrective action before the end of the year.
Their boss wants to know why they had 20 failures with no explanation, then they demand the supplier give them the explanation, then the supplier has to go into firefighting mode right before Christmas.
Sun coming up earlier means squirrels getting up earlier which means dog barking at squirrels begins earlier.
A saw a squirrel this morning whose entire tail was blond. Brown fur on the body, but blond tail.
I hate attention seekers.
Supposedly the goth squirrels are making their way here from Ottawa, but I haven’t seen one yet.
Visigoth, Ostrogoth, or Emogoth?

Ruh-roh. Hope this means free accommodations, not fine living ala San Francisco.
At least there is probably a lot of trash he can forage for in the city.
Mornin’, reprobates!
Cancelled visit to baby sister tomorrow due to expected shitty weather. Thank God for that , I was not looking forward to holiday traffic. Sunday I mark another trip around the sun. 69th birthday, am anticipating an appropriate celebration.
Congratulations! Today’s weather looks to be really crappy. I hop sat is a bit better than advertised.
Good morning!
No travel for me. The running joke here is every memorial day weekend is rainy.
Happy Birthday.
Ewww! TMI, dude! ?
::makes note to self to post favorite birthday link on Sunday::
You share a birthday with one of my sisters. I’m not going to tell you how old she’s turning, so I don’t have to remember how old I’ve gotten.
Still not old enough to retire.
“You share a birthday with one of my sisters.”
Also with JFK and Bob Hope, not to mention that it is the day when Edmund Hillary’s expedition reached the top of Everest. Not bad, but my little bro has me beat. His birthday is April 20. You know who else was born on 4/20?
Great! Happy Birthday!

Uh-oh. I wish that old fool would retire already. Honestly, if the Reps sell out their base on this one it will be the end of the party.
While I know the probable outcome of Bruen is that may issue becomes shall issue, but I can’t help but hope the justices are annoyed at the attempts to intimidate the court and go ‘requiring permits is an unconstitutional infringement.’
The only common sense gun legislation would be repealing all the crap on the books and dissolving the ATF.
