John Holmes Motherfucker - 2016-01-15
Just watched this on Netflix. Without Rickman's role, this might not be worth watching, even with Sigourney Weaver in blonde hair and a wonderbra.

Starring John Ritter as an actor who just happened to stop a robbery while dressed as a superhero, and discovered that helping people was a fulfilling pursuit. So it's not a big mix-up forced him into heroing. Also his striped underpants are incredible.

They left out the best part where he's reminiscing about playing Richard III.

Alan Rickman was amazing at deadpan delivery and sardonic mockery. He oozed it with a charisma no one could match. Also, this is the best Star Trek film ever made and I'll fight you over that fact.

infinite zest - 2016-01-15 I loved GotG but the allegory was kinda weighing down the movie: Kid Needs To Escape From Dealing With Mother's Death was sad, no doubt, but here they literally got sent to another galaxy, and it wasn't some non-canonical nostalgia fest.

Ok, I need to finally watch this. Tim Allen always scared me off.

John Holmes Motherfucker - 2016-01-15 Not unlike Bruce Willis, Tim Allen may be a pretty good actor who tends to star in terrible movies... or at any rate, movies that people with taste (and without kids) would tend to avoid. It seems to me he was okay in "Wild Hogs", a movie from 2007 that is only memorable for having John C. McGinley (Dr. Cox from Scrubs) in a small role as a gay state trooper, and Marissa Tomei in the full flower of milfhood. He was great as the voice of Buzz Lightyear in "Toy Story", and he was perfectly fine here. And that's all I've ever seen him in, except for an occasional snippet of HOME IMPROVEMENT. I hated that show, but he himself wasn't really bad in THAT, either.
Incidentally, what ever happened to the Dr. Cox Guy? He really ought to be famous by now.
Anyway, Tim Allen should not scare you away from Galaxy Quest, and, once again, it's on Netflix. I watched it last night.

infinite zest - 2016-01-15 Home Improvement was pretty much Allen's raunchy stand up routine toned down for a G-rated audience. This was the same network that thought Bob Saget would work on a family sitcom too. That's the 90s for you. But despite the coke and boozin Allen made a pretty convincing TV father figure to me growing up. Now excuse me while I get back to coke and boozin.

Next.
Beautiful. This is how I imagined Leonard Nimoy felt.

John Holmes Motherfucker - 2016-01-15 Rickman was great, but Tony Shaloub may be my favorite part of Galaxy Quest, as the one guy who seemed to take being shot into space completely in stride, and who discovered that he was into alien tentacle sex. I had just seen the finale of "Nurse Jackie" the day before, and he was great as a big-hearted doctor dying from some kind of brain tumor. He's a really special character actor, and I'm going to start seeking him out. Wonder if Netflix has "Monk".

infinite zest - 2016-01-15 Off topic but glad you're enjoying Netflix Motherfucker! There's some quality stuff on there; not sure if I mentioned it in my last post about Netflix but Making A Murderer is required poeTV viewing if you have Netflix. I won't give anything away but the story hits very close to home for me, and that's not because I happened to live there during that time.
