Roughnecks fucking ruled. it played at like, 6 in the morning on some channel, back when I was a kid.
I'd wake up real early so I could watch it before school.
People get nostalgic for the old Saturday morning network cartoon blocks, and yeah they were tight and all, but the real money shit was those random early morning weekday syndicated joints. Catch Mad Max, Mummies Alive, motherfucking Beast Wars before school. (Actually, my moms had to VHS that stuff because by that time I was already on the bus, but still!)

That show had so many awesome elements. Power armor, giant Tyranid size bug vessels and alien allies in the later series. The animation was also great for it's time, not much to look at now but the faces all looked good, fully animated and the battles were really well choreographed.
That shitty 6am scheduling completely screwed the show over.

As someone who has Spinal Tap as like a top 3 movie of all time, I'm not sure this really needs to happen. I'll give the movie its fair due, but I wish they'd pour that energy into something new.
Seeing this go around and get lauded. Which is weird because she just took a bunch of sentences to say "I have not ever been on a crew nor am I real friends with anybody who has"
Crew ain't reading film criticism and getting in their feelings about it. Grips aren't scrolling Rotten Tomatoes with bated breath. Crew takes pride in their work, knows when their job was done well or not, and care more about the checks clearing than about what some nerd on a blog said about the finished film. To say that they do care, that they should care, is actually weird and kinda patronizing! They don't give a shit! They have a zen-like awareness of what's in their power to control and what isn't, quit trying to fuck up that balance!!!
We only care when someone tries to make something our fault when it clearly isn't.
"I hated Iron Man 2! I bet those IATSE jamokes are the reason the action looks so halting and awkward!"
The fuck we are! You blame that shit on the director and the 1st AD, not my camera-handlin' ass. All the film school, nepotism, and cocaine in the world can't make the creatives do better at *(gestures broadly)* creating! I just point the camera where they tell me to and hope that the pyro guy didn't forget to take his meds that morning. That's all! That's it!
As long as the check clears, I give no fucks because--and this is crucial--creative solutions are outside the pre-negotiated parameters of my contract. You want me to give you creative solutions? Cool. Give me a producer credit and I'll start rattling off ideas for you. Can't guarantee you'll get anything good out of me, but even the greatest creative minds lay the odd goose egg every now and again; surely the inverse is true, right?
I don't think I have ever once thought "WTF was the crew doing here" when a movie shits the bed. Usually I'm unhappy with the director, editor, writer or actors, depending on the flaw.

"This signet ring was on your Daddy's finger when he was betrayed by his mentat. He was captured and put in a Sardaukar prison camp. He knew if the floating gasbags ever saw the ring that it'd be confiscated; taken away. The way your Dad looked at it, this ring was your birthright. He'd be damned if any were gonna put their greasy hands on his boy's birthright. So he hid it in the one place he knew he could hide something. His ass. Five long years, he wore this ring up his ass. And then he died of dysentery, he gave me the ring. I hid this uncomfortable hunk of metal up my ass for two years. Then, after seven years, I was sent home to my family. And now, little man, I give the ring to you."

The only thin that really bothers me about the Tarantino Top Gun analysis ( besides it being Tarantino) is he gets the last line completely wrong
Or is that part of the joke

I think it's part of the joke. That whole conversation perfectly captures being cornered by someone at a party who wants to share this big idea with you while getting several things wrong, but you can't quite call them out on it.

Man I loved the Highlander animated show. Lots of good stuff there.
I know it's easy to get distracted by his cadence and all, but Christopher Walken is a really good actor. Like, he turns in a good performance in Hairspray directly opposite whatever the hell John Travolta is up to in that movie.
Also, he's in Severance where he just plays a nice old man and, you know, he rules?

Like the mixing, the fact that the apparent theme song is "doot doooty dootle boop scroop bipple beeple deep", just strange choices.
