Jennifer 8 (1992) - Bob Gunton

Watched this for the first time in years and a few things came to mind.

I haven't seen anything new with Bob since COVID started. I hope he hasn't hit the wall and is well. Who am I kidding… even if he did hit the wall. I'd still want to fuck him just to get him out of my system.

I get a DADDY BONUS in a young, chunky Graham Beckel. I know most of you prefer his late brother Bob Beckel, but Graham just does it for me.

A young Uma Thurman. What? Still bi.

Another DADDY BONUS in short and scruffy Kevin Conway. The only other thing I remember him in is Star Trek: The Next Generation where he played Kahless. That alone makes the trekkie in me wanting to fuck him.

Finally, Lance Henriksen. Never was into him, but I'd hit him if given the chance.

The best ever adaptation of "The Scarlet Letter."

I first saw this on PBS in 1979, and fell in love with it. This version is true not only to the letter but the spirit of the novel, and it strove to accurately depict how Boston looked in that period, from the buildings to the clothing, hairstyles, and customs.

Hallelujah, but someone uploaded the entire series on YouTube!

The cast is amazing. Meg Foster -- an actress who's been seriously unappreciated -- is the best Hester ever, reserved as a woman of her time would be, but with incredible inner strength and resolve. John Heard captures how the restraint of hiding the Minister's psychological regret and torment at his hypocrisy slowly destroys him. Character actor Kevin Conway, a veteran of the theater, perfectly captures the menace and machinations of Hester's husband, who was believed dead.

The script is perfection, as is everything else. You really see how Boston wasn't the huge city depicted in the godawful 1995 version,

If you love great acting and a great script, you need to watch this. (And download it, in case it's taken down.)

BTW, if you find this too slow for you, your brain has been fucked up by the quick-cut, rapid-fire media of today. Slow your ass down and actively pay attention. Listen to the words. Watch the actors. Note their clothing and the sets. This is the kind of shit good writers, very good writers, learn from, if they want their writing to be more than shallow and dumb.

Then go read the book. There's a reason it's a classic.

Parts 1 & 2.

Parts 3 and 4.

I keep thinking about this Kevin Conroy story, and I figured I'd share it if you've never heard it.

Kevin Conroy was living in New York City on 9/11 and like everyone in NYC at the time he wanted to do something to help. So he ended up working at a makeshift canteen for ground zero rescue workers, I think he washed dishes.

after a week or so of picking up shifts down there one of his fellow kitchen workers finally popped the question. "you're Kevin Conroy aren't you" Kevin Conroy admitted that he was indeed Kevin Conroy.

his co-worker then shouts through open order window to all the firefighters and construction workers sitting in the canteen "holy shit guys you won't believe it, we got the voice of Batman back here!"

and someone shouts back "bullshit! prove it" the guy looks at Kevin Conroy like "well?" and Kevin Conroy takes a deep breath and says

"I Am Vengeance! I Am The Night! I! Am! BATMAN!"

there is a moment of total silence and the "holy shit it is Batman!"

Jennifer 8 will be released on Blu-ray on January 23 via Scream Factory. Andy García and Uma Thurman star in the 1992 serial killer thriller.

Bruce Robinson (The Rum Diary, The Killing Fields) writes and directs. Lance Henriksen, Kathy Baker, Graham Beckel, Kevin Conway, and John Malkovich round out the cast.

Special features are in progress and will be announced at a later date.

They are the unidentified victims of an unsolved crime spree — women linked by a serial killer's gruesome handiwork … and by police files giving them the alias "Jennifer." Homicide investigator John Berlin believes he's made a breakthrough in the case when he uncovers a key witness — a blind woman named Helena. Yet who can truly rely on the testimony of a witness who cannot see? Who can trust Berlin when he ultimately becomes a suspect in the murders? And who can keep the vulnerable Helena from becoming the next Jennifer?

Pre-order Jennifer 8.

Kevin Conway as Kahless

[terieri]

"Kevin was perfection. He was one of my favorite people on the planet, and I loved him like a brother. He truly cared for the people around him — his decency shone through everything he did. Every time I saw him or spoke with him my spirits were elevated. Kevin was a brilliant actor. For several generations, he has been the definitive Batman. It was one of those perfect scenarios where they got the exact right guy for the exact right part, and the world was better for it. His rhythms and subtleties, tones and delivery — that all also helped inform my performance. He was the ideal partner — it was such a complementary creative experience. I couldn't have done it without him. He will always be my Batman." - Mark Hamill

Lawnmower Man 2: Beyond Cyberspace (1996)

What circumstances could’ve possibly led to the making of Lawnmower Man 2: Beyond Cyberspace a.k.a. Lawnmower Man 2: Jobe's War? There couldn't have been too many fans of the original thanks to its flagrant disregard for the source material, terrible special effects and hammy characters. Even if you did enjoy it unironically, this sequel isn’t for you because it directly contradicts the ending of the first film before repeating everything it did in the last act for about an hour. At best, this picture can be enjoyed as something that’s “So Bad It’s Good”. Even so, it doesn't measure up to its predecessor. This is a movie without an audience.

Six years after the events of the first film, now 16-year-old Peter Parkette (Austin O’Brien) lives in a cyberpunk Los Angeles with a group of runaway teens. This futuristic society’s favorite pastime is navigating through virtual reality, which makes them vulnerable to the megalomaniacal Jonathan Walker (Kevin Conway) and the Chiron Chip he's developing with the help of Jobe Smith (Matt Frewer) - now legless, disfigured and living nearly entirely in cyberspace. What the corporate tycoon doesn’t realize is that Jobe has sinister plans of his own; plans only the Chiron Chip’s creator, Dr. Benjamin Trace (Patrick Bergin), can thwart.

Forget the “dun, dun, dun!” ending of The Lawnmower Man. Forget the fact that Jobe’s body was clearly disintegrated, that he went on a murderous rampage sending cyberbees after people and setting others on fire. In fact, forget most of the movie. Remember only the vague idea that Jobe was experimented upon until he became a galaxy-brained virtual world wizard. As for whether you should remember that he’s evil or not… I’m not sure. The film has an obvious villain in the form of Jonathan Walker but he eventually gets supplanted by Jobe, who wants to become a cybergod and rule over all humanity. First, he has to destroy the real world by ruining people’s credit ratings, making ATMs spit out money non-stop, and messing around with the water & power supply. He knows that within minutes, such disruptions will have people jacking onto the internet so hard they’ll never want to jack off again. No, that’s not me making a joke. I’m demonstrating what the funniest part of this movie is. Not the special effects (which are actually better than the ones we saw in 1992); the constant stream of unintentional references to masturbation.

If it wasn’t obvious already, the film’s writing is ghastly. It’s only been six years since Jobe’s ascension, making this Blade Runner-lite LA as convincing as low-budget 1996 CGI. It’s clear Farhad Mann - whose name appears in the end credits at least 5 times - really wanted to make a cyberpunk movie but couldn’t figure out how to make this set this sequel in the future while still featuring the same boy Jobe befriended when he was a simpleton. Speaking of that friendship, we’re told that Jobe suffered burns on 80% of his body, that his legs had to be amputated and his face was reconstructed. Is that why Peter recognizes him immediately? The film doesn’t even do the obvious thing, which is to have Jobe appear as he originally did in Cyberspace and then morph his appearance to look like his current self to create that bridge. That’s a nitpick, really. This film is loaded with dubious security measures, technology that makes no sense and relationships that would have even aliens who’ve never encountered people raising their eyebrows. Why Dr. Cori Platt (Ely Pouget) and Dr. Trace suddenly fall in love, no one could say.

Beyond Cyberspace/Jobe’s War is inferior to The Lawnmower Man in every way, and since its plot is basically a repeat of the former’s last act, there’s really no reason to watch it, except one. Without a doubt, this film features the best “we don’t really know what hacking is like” scene of all time. Instead of a password, we've got a mathematical equation that needs to be solved. Said equation then turns into a virtual maze the characters have to navigate through. Combined with the techno jargon soup, it’s a laugh-out-loud riot that plays out like a cross between magic and an FMV video game puzzle. I wish I could commit to memory the exact words exchanged but it’s impossible; those lines could never be written down or uttered by a person whose sanity is intact. For that alone, Lawnmower Man 2 might be worth checking out if you like bad movies and you had a great time with the first. (May 7, 2022)
