Yep. They're trying to climb from their Stealth Fighter/Transport up through the belly of the 747, and BA-WHOOSH, it goes from being a Steven Seagal movie to a Kurt Russell movie. BTW, Mr. Russell should have retired after Escape from New York, he's been on a steep downward slope since then...


Yes, this is the reason i've equipped all the P38s in my game so that they can latch onto C46s and C47s. You never know one of them might have nerve gas on board... [8|] [:'(]

child molesting?

I don't think so. I heard once that he got knocked out in a sleeper hold while filming a movie, bragging that it couldn't be done. Then there's allegedly some sort of mystical mumbo jumbo that he's into. Don know. I havn't paid much attention to him since Under Siege.
The story I heard was that he was bragging on the set about how nobody could touch him and one of the stage hands (who was build like a 2 ton guerilla) put a choke hold on him. When Segal came to he threw a tantrum and left.

Never got into his movies, I'm not sure why. However as long as we're talking about wood how about other non-actors turned actors, i.e. Chuck Noris and of course governor Arnold. [:D]

All this talk about stiff actors makes me think of great B movies. So, who was the best all time B-movie actor?

The last two are at least capable of an occasional smile... not sure about Mr. Segal - i think his muscles have ossified into position and he might be physically incapable of moving any facial muscles more than a few millimeters.

Ahh, the B movies. As a kid, I used to watch a nut case who had a local show in Cleveland. He called himself Ghoul Artie. He had a frizzy wig, sun glasses with one lens missing and a white lab coat. He'd show all those wonderful B movies and insert himself while doing a voice over. Hilarious. Finally got himself kicked off the TV by sticking a firecracker in a frog's mouth and blowing it up on TV. That was pretty gross, but pretty funny when you're about 12 yrs old.

Edit: Oops, forgot about his go-tee. I don't think it was real. What a character.

Indeed, that sounds more like a C- movie. [:D]

Ok, my favorite B movie actor (seriously) is not really a movie actor as much as TV. It's that guy that played McGyver and Col what's his name on Stargate SG1. Loved his irreverent since of humor.

That would be Richard Dean Anderson.

Actually, i think Crow is capable of a lot more expression than most of these guys. Actually, not a bad actor. Gypsy maybe could qualify for Plankette.

Nick Nolte - nah, i can't say he's a Plank. Not great, but not a Plank.

Stallone is about with Gov. Arnold S. (imo)

Both are capable of expression, but it looks like a distinct effort to produce the facial contortions of emotion. Plankish, but not Great Planks.

As a B movie actor? I actually thought Rocky was a good flick, from an acting standpoint. He also made one of my all time favorite B movies, Demolition Man. That movie cracks me up. [:D]

I just want to say good luck to Terminus with his exams tomorrow. If he does a morning tithe, he should see this.
For what we are about to receive, may we be truly thankful.
