Movies 2026: Shame and Money

TIL the Chinese scientist in Goldfinger is Cato from the Pink Panther.

The Substance. D.

Saved from an F simply by the premise, which while a hoary trope did have a few nice touches. But after that... this is one of the worst movies I've ever seen all the way through. Most truly awful movies are obvious and I don't even start them. This was a bait and switch.

My favorite review included the phrase "lack of subtlety."

I got 10 minutes in and I couldn't keep it on.
 
Watched Full Metal Jacket last night (2nd or 3rd time), and never realized Stanley Kubrick directed it, and credited in the screenplay too. From his first film The Killing (really liked that one) to this one (his last btw) he's had a hand in some really great movies.
 
TIL that the actor that played Parker Lewis was in a long string of cult-classic (B movie?) made-for-television monster and creature feature movies with glorious titles such as Mansquito, Lake Placid vs Anaconda, RoboCroc, etc. I'll never see any of them but hey man a dude's gotta pay the bills.
 
SF Channel original content?

Did he play:
  1. Dad estranged from child; they mend their relationship during the struggle, or
  2. Disgraced fringe scientist nobody listens to when he says it's Giant Toads but ex-wife works at the White House?
Those are the two age-appropriate roles available to him in those movies.

Per Google Genesis:
  • Sand Sharks (2011) – Jimmy Green: The sleazy, fast-talking festival promoter who brings a massive "Spring Break" party to a sleepy island, completely ignores the threat of sand-swimming sharks for profit, and then has to use party equipment to blast them.
  • RoboCroc (2013) – Jim: The stressed-out water park manager/father whose family day is ruined by a cybernetic crocodile, forcing him to go full action-hero to rescue his teenager.
  • Jurassic Attack (2013) – Lieutenant Colonel Dan Madison: The grizzled, no-nonsense military leader whose helicopter crashes in a lost world, forcing him to guide his squad of commandos past aggressive CGI dinosaurs using standard tactical maneuvers.
  • Dracano (2013) – Professor Adams: The visionary scientist who knows too much about dragons hibernating in volcanoes; he must team up with his estranged daughter to blow up a mountain and save the atmosphere.
  • Lake Placid vs. Anaconda (2015) – Will Tull: The overprotective big-game hunter dad who heads into the swamp to rescue his sorority-girl daughter from corporate poachers, mutant gators, and a giant snake.
All in a 4-year span. Jesus I miss those movies.
 
As god is my witness, Christopher Plummer is the GOAT movie Hamlet, including Olivier.

Robert Shaw is also a kick ass Cladius.

Also, though Polonius is supposed to be a fool, his advice to Laertes is excellent.

Yet here, Laertes! aboard, aboard, for shame!
The wind sits in the shoulder of your sail,
And you are stay'd for. There; my blessing with thee!
And these few precepts in thy memory
See thou character. Give thy thoughts no tongue,
Nor any unproportioned thought his act.
Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar.
Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried,
Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel;
But do not dull thy palm with entertainment
Of each new-hatch'd, unfledged comrade. Beware
Of entrance to a quarrel, but being in,
Bear't that the opposed may beware of thee.
Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice;
Take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgment.
Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy,
But not express'd in fancy; rich, not gaudy;
For the apparel oft proclaims the man,
And they in France of the best rank and station
Are of a most select and generous chief in that.
Neither a borrower nor a lender be;
For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.
This above all: to thine ownself be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.
Farewell: my blessing season this in thee!
