Update
Hey butter lovers!
Happy Hump Day! Womp Womp. Hope your week is going well, we’re halfway to the weekend guys, we can do this. Remember in the last update I said I was having weird symptoms-well turned out to be shingles-in my mouth and nose. My face was going numb and it was weird and gross and freaky but thanks goodness the antibiotics are working quickly! What in the heck?? am i right?!
I was so sad to hear about Val Kilmers passing yesterday. I hope he is no longer in pain and his family has peace. I first met him in Topgun as Iceman, fell in love with him as Doc Holladay in Tombstone, feared him properly in Heat, wanted to marry him in The Ghost and the Darkness and sealed my adoration for him in Kiss Kiss Bang. Gay Perry forever! What am I missing from his filmography? Rip Doc ❤️❤️❤️
This week we have our first Reboot Apes woohoo, Tom Cruise silver fox? and the Baseball Poll winner (Bad News Bears) Get your crackerjacks ready!

The best Val Kilmer is "Top Secret", the "Airplane!"-ish spy comedy spoof.
Val Kilmer - The Saint 1997
Val Kilmer - Willow I love Val too RIP
Hope you are feeling better and wishing you the best. And this has been said by others, but Val Kilmer is great as Madmartigan in Willow
Yikes! I hope you are feeling better. Did you ever have chicken pox when you were little? I had chicken pox when I was. That is the reason lots of folks get shingles. My grandmother had the shingles REALLY bad. And both my doctor and health insurance people kept riding my backside until I got shingles vaccines, so I went ahead and relented just so they would stop pestering me. Anyway, I hope you are feeling better and looking forward to your movie posts.
You'd love Val Kilmer as Madmartigan in the 80's fantasy movie Willow. Glad you're on the mend though. Shingles in your mouth and nose? Must've been miserable!
Deja Vu. Denzel and Val Kilmer, in a smaller role
Shingles is miserable, I can't imagine having it in your mouth. Glad you are on the mend! I hope Rise of the Planet of the Apes drops soon, I could use the vibes
Sorry if this was covered elsewhere, but what happened to the Rainmaker YT video. It seems to have disappeared.
Odds are a copyright issue. You can still watch it on the Patreon player though.
Very small movie of Mr Val Kilmer and one of my favorites is "Thunderheart" a 1990s mystery thriller set on a Native American reservation. Classic!
Another great Kilmer film.
I had to translate shingles 🙂 My mum got that back in 2020 at Christmas. I gave her a lift att Christmas eve to the hospital. Shingles is a nasty desease 😬😬😬 Great that your medicin works. Take care 🙂😃
Shame Carly wasn't in for Collateral. Most interesting movie out of recent ones
I grew up watching Val Kilmer in Real Genius over and over, I regularly quote it to this day!
Get well soon, Cassie.
Cassie needs to watch the John Travolta movie, The Boy in the Plastic Bubble. It is about the one person in the world who has a worse immune system than Cassie.
I actually thought of that too reading her post. Did you know Travolta became involved in a romantic relationship with the actress that played his mom in that movie? She died (of cancer I think) while he was filming Saturday Night Fever
So glad your doing better :)
Make sure you watch The end credits of RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES.
Yes, definitely an end credits movie.
As far as Val Kilmer, I'm waiting for The Doors, Willow, Red Planet, Wonderland, and my favorite Batman Forever
I would have to go with Wonderland, the fact-based film of John Holmes.
The Tim Burton version of “Planet of the Apes” is just atrocious. Marky Mark phones it in and the whole thing felt like it ran out of budget 2/3 of the way thru. It’s only redeeming qualities are Rick Baker’s make-up effects (some of the very best ever captured on camera) and Tim Roth’s scenery chewing depiction of General Thade. Paul Giamatti is also fantastic but given too little to do. That said, tastes in movies varies widely. I’ve seen several people in this forum absolutely skewer “Batman Forever.” The story is bad, the direction is seemingly non-existent, Tommy Lee Jones gives the worst performance of his career and Val Kilmer proves that Marky Mark isn’t the only one to phone in their performance in a big budget extravaganza. For me, it doesn’t even have nostalgia going for it (I saw it during a very difficult time in my life). For absolutely no good reason, though, I love it. I won’t even try to defend it. It’s bad, so very very bad. But I love it.
The makeup effects are excellent. Tim Roth gives a good performance. Paul Giamatti ain't bad. Helena Bonham Carter. I don't have the hate for the 2001 remake that many do, but did not find the story that compelling. Also, some of the performances not the greatest. Story aspects that I like are those that indicate societal commentary and animal rights, and the better portrayal of a more primitive ape culture. I think there is a chance that Cassie/Carly will like it at least ok, but who knows.
Val Kilmer movies she has not seen? My ranking of some below. 1. “Thunderheart” (1992). Redemption. My favorite but I have nostalgia. I think she would be invested and like it. Val Kilmer is lead character. 2. “The Doors” (1991) w/Meg Ryan. Not a perfect movie but I like it. Val Kilmer is lead character. 3. “The Salton Sea”(2002) – ok 4. “Real Genius” (1985). Acceptable. I prefer Thunderheart and The Doors. 5. “Top Secret!” (1984). Silly but acceptable. I prefer Thunderheart and The Doors. 6. “Wonderland” (2003). Johnny Wadd is a legend but the movie not the greatest. 7. “The Saint” (1997). Overall, not that satisfying. 8. “Willow” (1988). Not a fan. Slow pace and generic story. Kilmer is prominent character but not a lead character. I am afraid that Willow (1988) might win a Val Kilmer poll. 9. “Batman Forever” (1995). Nostalgia may be strong with middle-aged male patrons who watched this as a kid/young adult. I prefer Batman (1966) and the Dark Knight trilogy.
You mean Batman Forever, not great by any means but I still like Vals batman far more than Clooneys. Big props for Thunderheart at no. 1. Although I love willow, it was something for us kids who just missed out if star wars to love.
Two Val Kilmer films to watch.. 'Batman Forever', bit of a corny film but underrated & i always thought he made for a great Batman/Bruce Wayne & one of my all time favourites in 'The Saint'. Two 90's films that have the sort of elements you like.
There are 10 movies in the Planet of the Apes franchise. She reacting to 9 of the 10. All except Battle (1973). She has already reacted to the first 4. 1. Planet of the Apes (1968) [the best of the 10] 2. Beneath (1970) 3. Escape (1971) 4. Conquest (1972) 5. Battle (1973) [she will not react to Battle] *6. Planet of the Apes (2001) [she saving till the end] 7. Rise (2011) 8. Dawn (2014) 9. War (2017) 10. Kingdom (2024) *She said "I think i will watch the tim burton one after!" --Thus, she saving the Tim Burton 2001 remake till the end after the Serkis Apes movies (reboots). --If she decides not to react to the 2001 remake, she would therefore react to 8 of the 10.
Burton + Apes, be afraid, be very afraid. 😆 RT 27%
Batman Forever!
This is going to be a fun week! Glad you are feeling better, Cassie. Now stop getting sick! We get new Apes, a top notch Michael Mann thriller, and Walter Matthau. Hopefully The Bad News Bears will make you more anxious to watch The Odd Couple. 😁One can dream. Cassie, if you make a 50 year anniversary poll for 1975, then you might as well go all out and also make a a 75 year poll for 1950, and a 100 year poll for 1925! 😃 Wouldn't that be fun! Of course it would. Sadly, I will have to miss your package opening. 😥 I will be in Green Bay for the NFL Draft. I'll have to watch the replay and see the joy on your face when you open the package from Julie & me. April is off to a great start, although you may want to wait a few decades from returning to Mexico. Just go to Disneyland instead.
Val Kilmer movies .. Willow Wonderland .. hard and brutal movie to watch.
100% willow needs to be reacted to
"Yo, homie ... that my briefcase?"
Insane moment
Hi Cassie I wonder if you've thought about going to see a homoeopathist to help with compromised immunity? My vet recommended we take our cat to one when he couldn't help and, although some people will call it nonsense, it really worked and she lived for ages. Also it's risk free without side-effects and there are several in Provo Utah
In Willow Val Kilmer is the Greatest Swordsman Who Ever Lived
PLEASE let it be Bad News Bears from the 70s
It is - 76 to be exact.
Kilmer films I recommend are 1. Top Secret 2. Real Genius 3. The Salton Sea 4. Thunderheart and something Cassie would like 5. The Saint
My first Val Kilmer movie was Thunderheart. Lesser known movie, but still one of my favorites. The Saint was also a lot of fun. Side note: I will forever be grateful to Tom Cruise for his insistence in putting Val Kilmer in Top Gun Maverick. And for adapting the role and the scenes that Kilmer was able to do it. What an amazing tribute to him.
All good Winners in the Final Four! I am excited to see Collateral (intense) and there are many other great courtroom dramas (and a few comedies) if you want to keep these going all summer.
I’m feeling that all these sick days are connected. “Maybe” it’s stress related. I’ve heard that a little Ashwaganda can help with stress. A lot of CEO’s and entertainers use it to help with stress.
Sorry about the shingles. Tbh I'm glad it turned out to be something treatable, but I'm sure it wasnt fun to deal with. Not to give overt medical advice but just some info for what it's worth. Shingles is a reactivation of the chicken pox virus in your nerve roots. After recovering from chicken pox as a child, the virus remains dormant in the nerve roots. For someone in your age group shingles can be caused by high stress and lack of rest. High stress -> high cortisol levels -> cortisol tanks immune system -> allows reactivation of virus in the nerve root. Something to think about. An interesting case of it is Conan O'Brian, he mentioned on his podcast that he got shingles in his eye in his 20s, on his birthday no less lol. Interestingly the same nerve that goes to the eye is part of a larger nerve called the Trigeminal nerve that, guess what.... has 2 other major branches that go to the nose and mouth. 😱 On a side note, looking forward to Collateral, what a film!
Sadly, "Secondhand Lions" didn't make the cut. I'm certain that Cassie (and Carly) would love that movie.
My kids liked it.
Very sorry you have Shingles. Glad modern medicine is making the difference and you're feeling better. Awakenings starring Robin Williams and Robert DiNero is an amazing movie. And it's based on a true story. This is not a funny Williams movie; it's a very tender flick; in a way you can't imagine. It's not a story you've seen before. I hope it's part of the group which got eliminated, you'll give a chance.
No more trips to Mexico for Cassie
LOL, I was just thinking that.
Val Kilmer films to see… Top Secret! (1984) Real Genius (1985) The Doors (1991) Thunderheart (1992) The Saint (1997) The Salton Sea (2002) Wonderland (2003) Spartan (2004) Oh boy… Shingles? You’re doing too much Cass. You’re running yourself ragged. Try taking a month off or so from all the Extra Curricular Activities. Eliminate the Stress.
I'd say that those first two are essential to the Val Kilmer experience.
Cassie, please keep in mind there a post credit scene in RISE. It helps to explain what is to come.
Thank you for mentioning this. You are doing the Lord's work.
Dear Cassie, I was so sad to learn on Patreon that mr Kilmer had passed on, After a few quick tears I am sharing my thoughts with you and the pib community. He was such a great actor totally dedicated to his craft, so talented so Committed, such a special person. To impact others threw your acting abilities, giving us some happiness some joy , says a lot ! My favourite role he portrayed was doc Halliday of course, but loved heat and the ghost as well. Others I thought were great was Willow , where he met his wife , the saint , thunder heart And Batman. For a time in the early 90s he was a top box office draw not unlike Tom cruise. Just a thought, would a full week dedicated to him be Something that you would consider? My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family, he will always be with us all threw his life’s work! Thanks Cassie for The channel for the platform to share, With the p i b community ! For Val 🍿🙏🏻
The third Batman movie Val Kilmer Batman forever is a different interpretation than the original 1989 Batman with Michael Keaton, which I know was not your favorite. Let’s say far from it. With the passing of Mr. Kilmer, maybe we can have a Val Kilmer poll. The next few weeks look exciting and enjoyable. Keep up the good work. PS I’m glad you’re feeling better
Val Kilmer: Real Genius The Doors Top Secret Willow
All but Willow I agree with. He was good in Willow, but he and the tiny Frenchmen were just about the only good things in it, imo.
Antibiotics, Shiingles, No. The doctor may have given you something that is helping but it cannot be antibiotics. Antibiotics only works on bacterial infections. Shingles is a virus. It may be something like Tamiflu which is an antiviral medication. Glad you are feeling better.
Anybody watching "The Studio" on Apple TV? The most recent episode seems to be about a movie very much like "Collateral" where the studio chief has to give a note on a denouement that ruins the movie and has to be cut. Good show.
It's such a fantastic show! (The Studio)
Shingles in your mouth and nose?!?! Good grief! I know you’re an innovator in the reaction world, but I’ve never heard of anyone getting shingles in the mouth and nose before. It sounds awful…and I hope it passes quickly, like yesterday. Can’t believe Val Kilmer has passed. He had great roles in so many of my favorite movies. A great actor who seemed very down to earth…one of those actors who you’d just like to sit down and have a conversation with. Here are some of his movies that you haven’t seen that I think you’d enjoy: Real Genius - hilarious 80s comedy about super smart people and teen problems Top Secret - comedy spoof in the same vein as Airplane! and Spaceballs Willow - mythical and magical fantasy adventure At First Sight - romance drama Thunderheart - crime drama I’m so looking forward to watching Rise of the Planet of the Apes with you and Carly. I think the both of you are going to be really surprised at how good it is and how invested you become in the story, especially now having the seen the OG movies.
Hope you’re feeling better, Cassie! One Val Kilmer movie I hope you consider is Top Secret! It’s a comedy from the Airplane and Naked Gun folks so you have an idea what you’re getting into lol.
So sorry to hear about Val Kilmer. It’s really awful. Please watch real genius or thunder. Those are some really good Val Kilmer movies You would like Willow it’s a fun fantasy movie and you and Cassie would really like At First Sight, a romance with Val Kilmer and Mira Sorvino Feel better Cassie sorry
So sorry to hear about the shingles, Cassie. Mouth and nose sounds PAINFUL! God bless and get well soon!
Hey Cassie, sorry about the shingles but so glad you're feeling better.
The great Val Kilmer performance missing from your list is THE DOORS, the film about the rock band that performed the songs you heard in Apocalypse Now.
Blessed week. Taxis will never be looked at the same again!
As for more Val Kilmer movies, they actually weren't made 60-85 years ago like most of my favorite movies were, so I am totally unqualified to comment on them!
That's interesting. Wonder if there's an age range when a person's favorite movies take root? Maybe ten to twenty five?
Feel Better! Lot of good ones that you havent seen. Classic 80’s Real Genius, Thriller The Saint, and Fictional Willow! My personal favorite performance is The Doors but not sure if you would like it. At First Sight is right up your alley lol.
Granted I was ten in 1995, but Batman Forever was the perfect blockbuster for that age. Bet your kids would enjoy it at least if you don't watch it on the channel. Fun fact: Tommy Lee Jones told Jim Carrey he sincerely hated him multiple times during filming.
While I dislike many movies, I reserve the term ‘despise’ for a select few. I truly despise the Schumacher Batman movies I don’t think even children should watch them as they give a bad impression of what the Batman character is supposed to to be about. But that’s just my opinion :-)
Knowing that Bad News Bears won the baseball poll I looked at the sign of upcoming movies and interpreted it as: Rise of Collateral: Bad News! Hey, I don't know what it means, I just interpret the signs! Excited to see the modern Apes movies. They are as cool as the originals, and that is very cool. Mostly I'm just counting the days. 51, to be exact, counting today, until the release of Mission Impossible The Last Reckoning! Now, THAT is something to be excited about! But I hope we see all four of the Final Four films! I want to see the one comedy, Blazing Saddles, most of all, and I'm afraid we won't see Auburn in the finals (mostly because I have Florida and Houston in the finals in my bracket!).
Rest in Peace Val Kilmer, The Saint was favorite film from him
Glad you're feeling better. ❤️ Shingles in the nose and mouth sounds really scary.
I'm really look forward to you and Carly watching the Planet of the Apes reboot/prequel (sort of) lol! I actually really like these ones more than the OG's and Andy Serkis (Gollum) is fantastic in his motion capture acting! I was just as shocked as anyone after hearing of Val Kilmer's passing, 65?, that's young! He was one of my all time favorite actors growing up! Though I admit I've only seen a handful of his movies! One movie that you must react to that he was in, is a childhood favorite fantasy movie of mine, the movie "Willow (88)" Such great, fun, wonderful, and underrated fantasy movie! May he RIP😭💔😇🙏 I so can't wait for your YT edit of "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" I've already watched your full-length 4 times up to this point, I even showed it to my friends recently and they laughed hysterically at your reaction lol🤣🤣🤣 I'm very glad to hear you're finally getting better! Shingles? YIKES!!!😱 I only had those once in my life when I was a teenager, they were on my back around the waist near my ribcage, luckily my family and I were able to stop it in time before it got worse! Glad you're getting better, love and support always, you and Carly are the best, God bless y'all and the family🥰😇🙏😁🤗😉👍✌🌹
No spoilers but I really hated the ending of Collateral
Val Kilmer films I'd suggest: Real Genius; fun comedy about really smart people. Willow; a fantasy film directed by Ron Howard, exec produced by George Lucas. (Disney + created a series in 2022 that is a sequel) Thunder heart; a crime / investigative thriller set on a native American reservation (Lakota Tribe) -- Cassie, I think you'll eventually go back to post- Batman '89 series of films before the Nolan Trilogy rewatch, no need to single out Val's Batman movie out of order IMHO. Top Secret & The Doors are not my taste in films, so I can't recommend them. The Saint was 'good' but not great. His performance was 'good' but not great. Again, IMHO.
I agree on all but I do love "Top Secret" done by the creators of "Airplane!" and "The Naked Gun" folks.
Off topic- Are the uploads to Rumble going to start happening again? Movie Munchies getting her channel struck this week is a good reminder to always have a non-YouTube backup.
Cassie’s Rainmaker reaction got taken down before I had a chance to watch it .
I had no idea you were sick—really hope you're feeling better. I've been loving your reactions to the classic Planet of the Apes movies on your channel. But man, I gotta admit, I was a little bummed to hear you're skipping Battle and the Tim Burton/Mark Wahlberg remake. Totally get it, though—your channel, your call. Still, I'm beyond excited for you to dive into the reboot movies, starting with Rise of the Planet of the Apes. And of course, I miss your Star Trek reactions. Hoping one day you circle back and check out Deep Space Nine, Voyager, Enterprise, and the rest—so much great Trek still waiting for you. Also, would love to see you tackle more DC and Marvel movies. On a sadder note, hearing about Val Kilmer's passing really hit hard. He was incredible as Iceman in Top Gun and Top Gun: Maverick, and I actually really enjoyed his take on Batman in Batman Forever. And let's not forget him as the voice of KITT in the 2008 Knight Rider series—a cool nod to the original show.
I think i will watch the tim burton one after!
Val Kilmer: 'Wonderland' (2003) based on a true story, one of his most powerful performances.
Yeah he was great in that. Maybe Lisa Kudrow's best acting as well. Super dark film though.
You should check out Val Kilmer as The Caped Crusader in Batman Forever (1995). Also, have you wrapped up the OG Apes series? I was wondering if you’ll get to Battle For The Planet of the Apes (1973).
Really fun action movie. Super colorful and over the top. Probably more enjoyable for the young, but very much a comic come to life.
Shingles suuuuucks. I had it on my chest when I was younger and it was awful. Hope you're okay!
YESS!!! RISE of the Planet of the APES. Finally!! So excited. Hope you feel better soon!
The two must see Val Kilmer movies you haven’t seen yet are two of his early ones - Top Secret! and Real Genius. And to all the people who were sure Cassie was going to watch the Final 4 - I told you not to count on it. But I still wish she would.
I think she should watch all four only if Blazing Saddles and The Professional are both of the winners. The former I think she may be too young to appreciate the humor and the latter I think she may pick up on the problems with the director, but we'll see. Who knows, she is full of surprises.
I really hope Cassie enjoys Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975), I'm secretly hoping it might lead her to watch the other three Python films, I would love to see reactions to those! John Cleese spoke about making the film on Seth Meyers chat show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1RSIwexj9g
Cassie. I know you're a trendsetter in the reaction community, but no one in the history of lurgys has ever had shingles of the face. You'll just try anything once, won't you? I would say get better soon, but you're like a little pinball these days, bouncing around from lurgy to lurgy, and just when you think your ordeal is over, the paddles whack you back into play. If you ever get tired of reacting, you could make megabucks being prodded and poked by scientists in their "Immune Systems and Why They're a Good Thing" seminars. In the meantime, you need to watch Towering Inferno in honour of Richard Chamberlain and Willow in honour of Val.
You wildly misspelled Shogun (1980) for Chamberlain. Must be an auto-correct thing.
You will really enjoy Tom Cruise in Collateral (2004) Cassie. I personally think it's one of Tom Cruise's best films and performances. Trivia note: it also features a before-he-was-famous appearance by Javier Bardem, three years before he won his first Oscar for No Country For Old Men (2007)!
Kilmer- At First Sight (1999) is a good romance movie with Mira Sorvino and is based on a true story. The Saint (1997) is a spy type of movie with Elisabeth Shue and one of my favorite "oh that guy" actors, Rade Serbedzija. Both movies are Carly appropriate.
Great suggestion for Cassie. Think she would enjoy that.
You should watch Val Kilmer in Real Genius, Top Secret, The Saint, and the Doors. How about honoring Val with one week just for him
Glad you're feeling much better, Cassie! If you want a couple of Val Kilmer film suggestions; He played Elvis in True Romance (1992), although you never see his face, only his Elvis suit and Elvis voice! He also played Jim Morrison in The Doors biopic in 1991, providing his own singing vocals! Lastly he got to play Batman in Batman Forever (1995), but it's not held in very high regard compared to Keaton's and Bale's. He did dodge a bullet by not being in the follow up Batman and Robin (1997), which is so bad it is on IMDB's bottom 100 list alongside Cats (2019) and Highlander 2 (1991)! I'll try to send you some Cadbury's Orange Mini Eggs for the package opening, do they sell those in America or do they only sell the ordinary kind?
What is this "Highlander 2" of which you speak? I remember the movies going from 1 to 3 and then ending. It was weird.
Looking like a good week, very interested to see your reaction to Collateral (not saying why as I don’t want to spoil anything). If you are going to watch a movie for Val, I think the top 3 you haven’t seen yet are The Doors, The Saint & Willow. But I’d also like to add The Real McCoy & Batman Forever as I don’t think it’s as bad as a lot of people make out & in a strange way you might actually like it better than the 89 movie. But really hope the meds work for you and you feel better soon.
I have no problem pointing out the reasons why we're looking forward to Collateral, Dean. It's because of this and that, him and her, that bit on the thing and all those other bits that are truly wow and will put a smile on Cassie's numbed-up shingle face. One of Tom's best, and though not a comedy, I think she will be thoroughly entertained.
So sorry to hear about shingles in the mouth. Didn't know that was possible. Hope it's not as bad as it sounds. I hope someone brings you a shrubbery with the two level effect so it looks nice.
You should watch Top Secret! I think it was Val Kilmer's first big role.
Looking forward to Rise and especially Collateral. I will watch the Bad News Bears reaction. As for March Movie Madness, I have no strong preference among the Final 4, and will watch the reactions to the 2 finalists that you react to. Two Val Kilmer movies I suggest: 1. "Thunderheart" (1992) [RT=91%]. I think you would like it. 2. "The Doors" (1991) w/Meg Ryan.
RIP to a big childhood hero of mine. Madmartigan was the first intro to me with Val. So many classics and great roles that have all been mentioned. I would go with Top Secret, Real Genius, and Thunderheart as recommends for the channel. And good to read Cassie is feeling better. Shingles are the worst. P.S. I always quietly loved Kilmer as Batman.
If Houston get to the final, I think the top 2 is more than enough. If they lose against Duke, I think it should be stretched out to the final 4. Only fair!
🤣🤣
Be well Cassie 🤞🙏💙
Lovely sentiment, Neil, but alas, it's like telling Danny DeVito to "Be tall". 🙁
For Val Kilmer, you’re missing two big ones: Oliver Stone’s THE DOORS (1991), which came out earlier the same year as JFK (1991), and which Val totally dominates as Jim Morrison, and THUNDERHEART (1992), in which Val plays a part-Lakota FBI agent assigned to investigate a murder on the Rosebud Reservation in South Dakota. Graham Greene (who played Kicking Bird in DANCES WITH WOLVES (1990)), plays a Lakota tribal detective who initially clashes with Val’s character but later assists him as the mystery deepens. Both are excellent films and very highly recommended!
Ditto. +1 for Thunderheart. +1 for The Doors.
Willow is a must see fantasy film with Val Kilmer.
I almost feel bad about doing this to Val Kilmer, RIP, but nonetheless: It is April 2025, and I hereby advocate for *that* version of The Island of Dr. Moreau (1996). [#004]
You’re an awful person, HH. The only thing worse you could do is bring up him playing Batman in Batman Forever…..wait, I just brought it up, I’m an awful person too!!!!!!
Yikes….. the Shingles is not fun at all. I hope that you start to feel better. Do you have any thoughts/feelings about Alex Ovechkin (the Great 8) being on the verge of breaking Wayne Gretzky’s all-time goal record (he is now three goals away). This is one of those records that most people thought would never be broken.
Don't think she follows any sports. Regardless, I've been trying to suggest Mystery Alaska and Youngblood for several years.
APES TOGETHER STRONG!
Val Kilmer is must-see in “Real Genius.”
The doors or The Saint for Val?
My vote would be for The Doors one thousand percent.
Interstellar
Just so that Cassie is not confused, Interstellar does not feature Val Kilmer, he's not even in the film posting a film title with zero context is incredibly confusing.
Val Kilmer also played Bruce Wayne/Batman in Batman Forever
Yeah, some things are better forgotten.
Cruise is more silver wolf than fox in Collateral, great flick.
Remember, after you watch the new Planet Of The Apes, give Tim Burton's Planet Of The Apes a try! I really think you'd enjoy the performances of some of the huge celebs as apes! The make-up is incredible, IMO.
I think she'll be all "aped" out and skip the Burton one.
Hope you feel better soon.
Wait are we really skipping Mark Wahlbergs Planet of the Apes ?.??
I hope not. I think she said she'd either watch before the new ones or after. I'm hoping AFTER!
The Doors. See Val turn into Jim Morrison. ...and Meg Ryan as his girlfriend.
...but if you don't know The Doors, watch a video first. This is lousy lip-synched one, but you get to see them getting famous. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYO1PjxRtt4
Collateral is severely underrated, as is the dynamic gun action. Tom Cruise was John Wick in it before John Wick.
Is it, Erik? I don't get the feeling it's unloved. I agree about the dynamic gun action, though. There's guns in every movie, but now and then (Open Range, Dirty Harry), you really get a sense of how powerful the guns really are.
Shingles is scary, hope you’re feeling better.
I was here first!😂
Apes together strong!
