Your Minutes of Zen

Yeah, that's another version of the episode. She doesn't look overweight to me. She still looks great today. And then she did Maxim in 2016. I'll be honest, I was surprised Maxim was still around in 2016, lol.




So you might recall one of my favorite Night Court clips...



Well, he made a comeback...



The Wheelers also recently returned, though the clip isn't on YT yet.

[BrandonDaCollector]

Yes, she looked amazing That great there about Night Court.

Something big just happen in My neighborhood It was on Delor & Dewey. I know Delor a lot because that's where My St. John the Baptist School that I went to since Kindergarten is as well as Imo's Pizza (I made a special Baseball showcase of them last year, if you haven't seen that special, do so, it's crucial to talk about your local Pizza places). These streets lead to Grand & Broadway which I know a lot as well since I was a youngster. The St. Louis PD, SWAT & FBI was all here Check out these videos from KMOV Channel 4 & KSDK Channel 5

[packerbacker180]

Shame they didn't find anything. I bet it was Jimmy Hoffa, lol.

[BrandonDaCollector]

I know, all that time That was a truthful video, it's up to the viewer to decide on it.

Here's Howard Stern remembers Val Kilmer

[packerbacker180]

I never really cared much for Stern, especially during Covid when he got really authoritarian.

[BrandonDaCollector]

Me neither but I just make exceptions on certain things. Yeah, during that time was the time of the awakening. Many celebs showed their true colors Those were great clips. That was cool about Classie Freddie Blassie there Good Alice as well.

OK, I'm gonna post some bonus stuff of 85's Real Genius. First, there was many science films in 1985, 40 years ago this year. Of course Back to the Future always get's the top spot but others such as Explorers that I spotlighted before doesn't especially My fave of them all is My Science Project definitely doesn't Real Genius seems to be quite underrated as well. Here's this recent preview by Sony. The movie begins with the Tri Star intro which Sony would soon own along with Columbia Pictures (I've known that since I was a youngster). I have always thought the logo was so cool and really one of the most iconic of the 80s. My Grandma loved it because she loved Horses & Pegasus This movie has such an excellent beginning. Ed Lauter always has such a presence.



Val Kilmer's humor was pretty good and clever in the movie.



The female lead character Jordan is played by Michelle Meyrink. She's kinda annoying but once you know her very eccentric character, she actually pretty fun. She reminds Me of when I was in school that the girls the boys wouldn't pay attention too or give the time of day. I always went for the girls that nobody wanted, many times their the coolest



I mentioned this before but without pics. Dean Devlin, the writer & producer with Rolland Emmerich of Universal Soldier, Stargate, ID4 & Godzilla had a brief part in Real Genius when he was pretty young




This is him around a decade or so later



The mystery behind the Lazlo character was cool.



Here's the climax of the movie. I just love this. This shows you how darn cool it was in the 80s and to be a youngster/teenager/young person. It's amazing that William Atherton was in GB a year before in 84 and got marshmallowed and in Real Genius in 85 he got pop-corned because he hates popcorn I just love the Tears For Fears song "Everybody Wants to Rule the World. Watch till the end through the whole end credits because the song plays throughout it



I'm going to see about a special about Jon Gries next

[packerbacker180]

Yes, the mid-80s were such a good era for teen movies.

[BrandonDaCollector]

OK, here's a little special of Jon Gries. He's one of the guys that never get's mentioned by most people for whatever reason when he's very good. I'm always for the people & things that is overlooked, underrated, obscure and all that jazz. So, here's this part in Real Genius after the Lazlo mystery is revealed by Kilmer, Lazlo becomes a good friend to the team. Here's one of his first scenes where he is social to/with them.



Now, to Me, he is best known for his role as the Wolfman in 1987's The Monster Squad. He's arguably My fave werewolf from in any horror movie, he's just so awesome



Now, in 88's Fright Night II, Jon Gries was part of a Vampire cult. He was actually a werewolf/vampire hybrid of sorts and it's something that he was like that once more



Now, I couldn't find a clip but again, here's a pic of Gries reuniting with Val Kilmer in 89's Kill Me Again



Before it was ever a thought that Val Kilmer was going to be gone from this world, I posted many movies of Gene Hackman and one 'em was Get Shorty. During that spotlight, I said that Jon Gries was the Wolfman from the Monster Squad is in this. Well, here's this clip of him nearly bald



I got other stuff to come
