Did You Enjoy “HIGH NOON”? Do You Enjoy SCI-FI? GREAT! Then You Will LOVE “OUTLAND”!!!
- “OUTLAND” Was Released In 1981, And It Stars… … …SEAN CONNERY!!!
(TAGLINE: "ON JUPITER'S MOON HE'S THE ONLY LAW.")
HONESTLY, My Peeps…
…This Flick…
“OUTLAND“
…Is…
MY FAVE-FAVE SEAN CONNERY FLICK Of ALL-TIME!!!
.Period.
It Always Has Been.
And…
…It’s Very Likely To Always Be.
As My Headline States…
“OUTLAND“
…Really Is Like…
“HIGH NOON“
…Except It Takes Place…
…
…
…IN OUTER-SPACE!!!
O.M.G.
!!! !!! !!!
Exactly, My Peeps.
It’s WONDERFUL!
SEAN CONNERY
…Is…
“MARSHAL O’NEIL“
…The NEW Law In “Town”.
Only, The “Town” Is A CORPORATE-RUN-MINING-OPERATION On JUPITER’s MOON “IO”!!!
(I Can Tell You're Already Hooked Simply Based On The Possibilities!)
“MARSHAL O’NEIL“
…Takes Exception To Being Bossed-About By The Mining-Ops’ General Manager…
“SHEPPARD“
(Played Perfectly By PETER BOYLE)
…All The While He’s Trying To Figure-Out…
…WHY People Are Dying…
…And…
…WHY Are People Going Insane???
Soooo…
“MARSHAL O’NEIL“
…Enlists The Help Of…
“DR. LAZARUS“
(Played Equally Well By FRANCES STERNHAGEN)
…In His Investigations.
Come To Find-Out…
…Those Who Are Going Crazy And Offing Themselves AND Other Folks…
…Are ALL Taking A Powerful Drug That Does Make Them Work Harder And Faster…
…But It ALSO Eventually Causes Them To Go PSYCHO!
When…
“MARSHAL O’NEIL“
…Starts Puttin’ The Smack Down…
“SHEPPARD“
…Calls In The HIRED-GUNS To Stop The Marshal Before He Ruins Their Whole Operation!!!
And…
…Of Course…
…The People Of The “Town” Are All Too Cowardly To Step-In And Help The Marshal.
!!! !!!
It’s A HELLUVA FLICK, My Peeps!!!
And I DO Refer To It As A TOTALLY FORGOTTEN CLASSIC.
.Period.
Hell…
…Most Folks Don’t Even Know This One Exists.
BUT…
…That’s Why I’M Here!!!
Trust Me, Kiddies…
…If You Haven’t Seen…
“OUTLAND“
…And You’re Into The Plot-Line I’ve Just Lightly Laid Out…
…And You LOVE’YA Some…
SEAN CONNERY
(And Who Doesn't Love Themselves Some SEAN CONNERY!!!)
…Then It COULD BE The Proverbial Diamond-In-The-Rough For Ya.
Fo SHO Fo SHO, My Peeps!!!
Do You Trust Me???
GREAT!!!
I Simply KNEW YOU DID!!!

Quickly, What’s On Now?!? –SEAN CONNERY As JAMES BOND -007- In “YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE” (1967)
I Consider…
“YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE“
(1967)
…To Be The Most Underrated Of The…
SEAN CONNERY As JAMES BOND
…Adventure Epics…
…And It’s A Damn Fine Adventure At That, My Peeps!
😀
“YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE“
…Was Directed By…
LEWIS GILBERT
…Whom Would Later Helm The JAMES BOND Adventures…
“THE SPY WHO LOVED ME“
(1977)
…And…
“MOONRAKER“
(1979)
…Both Of Which Are Personal FAVES Of FAVES!
😀 😀
Alright, The Gist Of The Flick Is This:
The World Sits On The Brink Of WORLD WAR III.
An American Spacecraft Has Disappeared, Following An Encounter With An Unknown Spacecraft.
The Americans Are Blaming The Russians For Entire Incident.
(((Of Course They Are!)))
They (The Americans) Make It Known They’re Going To Launch Another Spacecraft In Just A Few Weeks.
If ANYTHING Happens To It, They Will Consider It An Act Of War!
The British Government, On The Other Hand, Does NOT Believe The Russians Are Responsible.
This, However, Must Be Proven Before Something Does Happen That Could Ignite The World Into Full-Scale Nuclear Armageddon!
Sooo…
…The British Government Fakes JAMES BOND‘s Death, Freeing Him To Go On The Hunt For The Truth.
They’re Sending BOND To Japan, Where They Believe The Before Mentioned “Unknown Spacecraft” Originated.
And Now, You Know The Basic Plot For This Epic Romp!
So, What’s Gonna Happen?
Did The Enemy Originate From Japan?
If So, Will BOND Be Able To Locate And Destroy Them In Time?
Or, Will The World Be Pushed Beyond Said Brink And Eventually Become A Giant Fireball In Space?
Hmm?
HMM?!?
Well…
…Wouldn’t Y’all Rather Watch It And Find-Out For Yourselves?!?
SURE YOU WOULD!!!
😉 😀 😉
I Will Tell You It’s A Helluva Ride, My Peeps, And A Helluva Lot Of Fun!!!
Some Of My Favorite Parts?!?
“LITTLE NELLY”
(((Trust Me, You'll Get It When You See It!)))
KEN ADAM‘s Eye-Popping Production Design.
NANCY SINATRA Beautifully Singing The Film’s Theme Song.
The Wonderfully Amazing VOLCANO LAYER.
But, Most Of All, My Favorite Part Is The Big Reveal Of JAMES BOND‘s Arch Enemy/Nemesis, “ERNST STAVRO BLOFELD“, Played To Creepy, Evil Perfection By An ALL-TIME FAVE Of FAVES Actor…
DONALD PLEASENCE
!!! !!!! !!!
😀
As I Said, I Consider This Flick…
“YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE“
…To Be The Most Underrated Of All Of The BOND Flicks To Star…
SEAN CONNERY
…And I Think You’ll Totally Understand Why Once You’ve Checked-It-Out.
Since We Only Live But Once, My Peeps, You Should Sincerely Check-Out…
“YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE“
…Before You Finally Just, Ya Know, Check-Out.
Period.
Happy Movie Watching, My Peeps!!!
ENJOY YOURSELVES!!!
You Already KNOW I’m Doing So, Fo SHO Fo SHO!!!
“What Are You Now, Afraid Of A Little Insanity?! Since When Have We Been Sane?!” –BORGOFF MARKUS (“Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust” (2000))
“VAMPIRE HUNTER D:BLOODLUST” Is Simply The Very VERY Best Of The Best In Terms Of Coolness! It’s My Favorite Anime Of The 2000s, And Possibly My Very Favorite Anime Of All-Time! What A Way To Wake-Up, Eh?! Good Stuff, My Peeps, Fo SHO!!! 😀
In What Way Is “FRENCH CONNECTION II” (1975) Superior To “THE FRENCH CONNECTION” (1971)???
Two Words, My Peeps:
GENE HACKMAN
.Period.
(((Period Does NOT Count Here, Dammit.)))
😐
*** ***
*** ***
GENE HACKMAN
…Won The ACADEMY AWARD For BEST ACTOR Of 1971 For His Portrayal Of The Character Of “POPEYE” DOYLE In…
“THE FRENCH CONNECTION“
…And It Was Very VERY Much Deserved.
Based On This, If We Were Going By The Power And Drive Behind Said Portrayal…
…Yeah…
…The Math Says…
GENE HACKMAN
…Would/Should Have EASILY Walked Away With THREE (3) OSCARS In 1975, For…
“FRENCH CONNECTION II“
…Maybe More.
😉
He’s THAT GOOD, My Peeps.
In Fact, He’s Absolutely Brilliant.
Yet He Didn’t Even Pull A Nomination For The Second Film.
😦
So Much For Math, Eh?!
New York City Police Detective “POPEYE” DOYLE Is A Classic Character Among Classic-Classic Characters…
…But He Wouldn’t Be, If Not For The Efforts Of…
GENE HACKMAN
.Period Period.
Two More Words For Y’all, My Peeps:
“COLD TURKEY“
.Period Period Perod.
To Find-Out The Significance Of Those Two Words, You’ll Have To See The Second Film.
BUT…
…I Always Tell People The Same Thing:
“Watch BOTH Films, THEN Come Tell Me What YOU Think.“
And I Stick By That.
Seeing…
“THE FRENCH CONNECTION“
…Is A Really Special Treat.
Seeing…
“FRENCH CONNECTION II“
…To Me…
…Is Even More So.
The Key To This Is…
…Oh Yeah…
GENE HACKMAN
😀 😀
I Love The First Film, Though Have Always Considered It To Be A TAD Overrated.
I Love LOVE The Second Film, And Consider It To Be One Of THE MOST Underrated Films Of ALL-TIME.
I Suggest You Give Them Both A Go, Kiddies.
I Doubt You’ll Be Disappointed.
I’m Already Curious As To What You’ll Say!
😀
Here’s Hoping Y’all Have A Damned Decent Day, My Peeps.
Do What You Can, At The Least.
Hang In There.
Take Care.
Be Good.
😀
Need A Glimpse Into What I’m Doing Right Now?? Does THIS Help?!?!

Alright, My Peeps…
…In This Wild Little Flick…
CHUCK NORRIS
…Is A Tough-As-Nails Sheriff Of A Small Town In Good Ole Texas…
…And Now He’s Facing-Off Against A Mentally Deranged Psycho Killer Whom Is, As Far As We All Know, Totally INDESTRUCTIBLE!!!
No Shit, Sheriffs!
CHUCK NORRIS
…In A “B-Movie” ACTION/HORROR/SLASHER/SCI-FI/THRILLER!!!
I KNOW, RIGHT!!!
WOOT!!!
I Promise, I Couldn’t Make This Up If I Tried!
Well…
…Ok…
…I Could…
…But I’m So SO NOT!!!
😀 😀 😀
Our Killer Is “JOHN KIRBY”…
(Played With A Brute Viciousness By Mr. BRIAN LIBBY)
…A Man Who Was Recently SHOT-TO-PIECES By The Police After He Took An AX TO HIS FAM!
He Died On The Operating Table…
…Under The Careful Care Of Three Doctors/Surgeons/Geneticists…
(Played By RON SILVER, STEVEN KEATS, And WILLIAM FINLEY)
…Who Are Now Using “KIRBY” As Their Ginni-Pig For A Genetic Super-Healing Serum.
Guess What?!
IT WORKS!!
Only, Not In How They’d Planned.
“KIRBY” Has A Totally Static-Brian, And A Body That Can Perpetually Heal Heal HEAL!!!
Do You See Where This Is Going, Kiddies?!?!?
SURE YOU DO!!!
“KIRBY” Flies The Coop And Sets Out On A Murderous Rampage…
…And…
…Of Course…
…It’s Up To…
CHUCK NORRIS
…To Stop Him!!!
It’s A KILL Or BE KILLED Type Of Situation, Fo SHO!!!
😀 😀 😀
Trust Me, My Peeps…
…You Haven’t Lived Until You’ve Seen…
CHUCK NORRIS
…In…
“SILENT RAGE“
…And That Gets A BIG…
…FO SHO!!!
😀
“SILENT RAGE“
…Is Easily One Of the Most Fun, Most Awesome, And Most Underrated Flicks In The Realm That Is…
CHUCK NORRIS
!!! !!! !!!
And, I Mean, Come On, At Least With This Flick You Know EXACTLY WHY The Killer Just WON’T DIE!!!
That’s Gotta Count For Something, Right???
RIGHT!!!
😉

What’s On NOW!?!: “FOR YOUR EYES ONLY” (1981) Starring ROGER MOORE As JAMES BOND 007!!!
The Best Of The Best Of The Bunch.
That’s How I Categorize This Flick…
“FOR YOUR EYES ONLY“
(1981)
…Starring…
ROGER MOORE
…As…
JAMES BOND – 007
…In What Would Be His Fifth BOND Adventure.
They Say The Third Time’s The Charm…
…And For ROGER…
…The Third Time Was More Of A Staple-Point In The World That Is JAMES BOND.
His Third Adventure…
“THE SPY WHO LOVED ME“
(1977)
…Really Cemented ROGER As BOND.
It Was His Best To Date…
…And The Best BOND Adventure Up To That Point.
I Loved It.
And Then I Saw This One…
“FOR YOUR EYES ONLY“
…And I Was Totally Sold.
It Is…
…By Far Far FAR…
…The Best BOND Of Them All.
At Least…
…In This Blogger’s Humble Opinion.
I Honestly Don’t Know What All To Say Here.
I’ve Been In A Decent Mood…
…I’ve Just Felt Like Arse.
What More Can Be Said?
I’m Just In Pure BOND Mode, Today.
I Have All Of His Adventures On The DVD…
…But Only A Few On The Blu-ray.
I Only Purchased The Ones I Love The Most…
…And That Were Available At The Time.
Mainly…
…Those Available Were…
PIERCE BROSNAN
…BOND Adventures…
…Of Which Only One…
“GOLDENEYE“
(1995)
…Is On My Target List.
I Simply Love…
“GOLDENEYE“
…Though That’s The Only BROSNAN Flick I Can Honestly Say That About.
Anyway…
…I’m Going To Get Back To Watching…
“FOR YOUR EYES ONLY“
…And Once It’s Over, I’m Going To Watch…
“THUNDERBALL“
(1965)
…Which Is My Fave Fave From…
SEAN CONNERY
!!! !!!
I Know Everyone Says…
“GOLDFINGER“
(1964)
…Is The Very Best, Especially Of The CONNERY Flicks.
BUT…
…I Tend To Disagree.
(Of Course)
To ME…
“THUNDERBALL“
…Is Another Of Those That Is By Far Far FAR The Best Of The Best Of The Bunch.
I LOVE Me Some…
SEAN CONNERY
…And…
“THUNDERBALL“
…Is My Utmost Favorite!!!
ANYWAY…
…’Tis Time For Me To Kick-It-Back And Enjoy My Flicks.
These Flicks Are GREAT…
…But Having Them On The Blu-ray Is EVEN BETTER!!!
So It’s Time To Enjoy, My Peeps.
Time To Enjoy, Indeed!!!
😀 😉 😀
Does Horror Get MORE FUN Than 1971’s “THE ABOMINABLE DR. PHIBES”?!
