I hate when people use parody movies as examples of "movies that would never get made today." No duh they're not going to make a western parody a la Blazing Saddles, we don't have a steady stream of blockbuster westerns hitting the screen anymore. I wouldn't make any sense to make I'm Gonna Git You Sucka today since Blaxploitation as a genre is no longer the main or only way to see competent Black characters on the screen. Turns out when you get rid of the context, these films don't make a lot of sense! Who would have guessed that to make satire, you need the context of the thing you're satirizing? High School Musical is a parody of Grease (also a parody, though not many people seem to realize this) which took its name from hairspray (John waters film) which is a riff on Hair. And if you only know high school musical from that one time you watched it when you were eight, without any of this context you probably didn't appreciate it that much. Films exist in context, just like any other form of art. And also people are still making weird movies and good satirical movies, you're just boring. Rant over.

Actor, poet, and professional football player Bernie Casey born on June 8, 1939 in Wyco, West Virginia, was a record-breaking track and field athlete for Bowling Green State University and helped the 1959 football team win a small college national championship.

Casey earned All-America recognition and a trip to the finals at the U.S. Olympic Trials in 1960. In addition to national honors, he won three consecutive Mid-American Conference titles in the high-hurdles, 1958–60.

Casey was the ninth overall selection of the 1961 NFL Draft, taken by the San Francisco 49ers. He played eight NFL seasons. His best-known play came in 1967 for the Rams in the penultimate game of the regular season against the Green Bay Packers. Casey caught the winning touchdown pass with under thirty seconds to play to give the Rams a 27–24 victory.

Casey began his acting career in the film Guns of the Magnificent Seven, a sequel to The Magnificent Seven. He played opposite fellow former NFL star Jim Brown in two films, ...tick...tick...tick... and Black Gunn. He also starred in several so-called Black exploitation films of the 70s including, Cleopatra Jones, Brothers, Hitman and Cornbread, Earl and Me.

The 80’s included memorable rolls in Sharky's Machine opposite Burt Reynolds, CIA agent Felix Leiter in the James Bond film Never Say Never Again opposite Sean Connery, and in Keenen Ivory Wayans's 1988 comedy classic, I'm Gonna Git You Sucka.

Casey enjoyed painting and writing poetry. Look at the People, a book of his paintings and poems, was published by Doubleday in 1969.

He died on September 19, 2017.

This Month in History - December

There are quite a few landmark anniversaries I'm celebrating this month:

Dec. 2, 1988: The Naked Gun opens

In Dec. 1988, the first of Zucker-Abraham-Zucker's cop spoof was released. Here is my piece I got in 2018. Happy 35 NG!

Dec. 5, 1973: Band on the Run released

In Dec. 1973, Paul McCartney and Wings best album (possibly the best Non-Beatle album he did) was released. Here is my piece I wrote in 2018. Happy 50th BOTR!

Dec. 6, 1968: Beggars Banquet released

In Dec. 1968, the 9th U.S. album from The Rolling Stones. Earlier this year I got to review the Record Store Day reissue of the album. I'd definitely put this up there with Let It Bleed and Exile on Main Street in the pantheon of Classic Stones albums. Happy 55th BB!

Dec. 6, 2013: Inside Llewyn Davis opens

In Dec. 2013, the Coen Brothers' criminally underrated folk musician epic was released. Here is my piece I wrote in 2018. Happy 10 ILD!

Dec. 10, 1993: Wayne's World 2 opens

In Dec. 1993, the sequel to Wayne's World was released! It might not be as loved as the original, but it is better than people think. I wrote about this in 2018 and director Stephen Surjik wrote me back with some thoughts. In 2022, I saw it on the big screen at Nice, a Fest. Happy 30th WW2!

Dec. 10, 2003: Big Fish opens

In Dec. 2003, one of Tim Burton's most underrated movies was released. Taking Burton's visual style and combining it with a family drama with fantasy elements was a gamble that paid off. It's something that feels new each time I've seen it since. Happy 20th Big Fish!

Dec. 11, 1998: Rushmore and A Simple Plan both open

In Dec. 1998, two of my favorite movies from that year opened on the same day. Here is my piece I wrote about Wes Anderson's film and Sam Raimi's film. Happy 25th Rushmore an ASP!

Dec. 12, 1973: The Last Detail opens

In Dec. 1973, Hal Ashby (who was on a roll at the time) had one of his best released. It was one of the great movies of the 70s. It was also one of my Top 5 Boston Movies of All Time! Jack Nicholson was in rare form as he and Otis Young played Navy men transporting younger sailor Randy Quaid to the NH Navy prison and showing him a good time along the way. Happy 50th TLD!

Dec. 14, 1988: I'm Gonna Git You Sucka opens

In Dec. 1988, Keenan Ivory Wayans' 70s LOL comedy opened. Here is my piece I wrote in 2018. Happy 35th IGGYS!

Dec. 14, 2018: Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse opens

In Dec. 2018 one of the best Spider-Man movies was released. I actually named it my #7 Movie of 2018! By diving into the Miles Morales storyline, they took the Spider-Man story we all know so well and made it seem new again. Just last Summer they released the awesome sequel: Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse was released. Happy 5 S-M:ITS-V!

Dec. 15, 1978: Superman opens

Speaking of super hero movies: In Dec. 1978 one of my favorite big screen Superman movies was released. Here is my piece I wrote in 2018. Happy 45th Superman!

Dec. 15, 1993: Schindler's List opens

In Dec. 1993, one of Steven Spielberg's finest works was released. Here is my piece I wrote in 2018. Happy 30th SL!

Dec. 16, 1988: Rain Man opens

In Dec. 1988, the Oscar-winning Best Picture and biggest grossing film of 1988 was released. With the exception of parodies (i.e. The Hangover's Vegas gambling scene), nobody talks about this as much. The road movie of long lost brothers one autistic (Dustin Hoffman) and the other selfish used-car guy (Tom Cruise) was actually quite touching. Sure it was the 80s feel-good movie era and whatnot, but the performances were among both actors' best. Happy 35 RM!

Dec. 17, 1973: Sleeper opens

In Dec. 1973, one of the funniest movies ever made about the future was released. Woody Allen was in his prime when he played a man who is cryogenically frozen in 1973 and is defrosted 200 years later. This is definitely one of his funniest ones. Happy 50th Sleeper!

Dec. 17, 1993: The State premieres

In Dec. 1993, the now-legendary sketch comedy series of NYC comedy group The State premiered on MTV. Here is my piece I wrote in 2018. Earlier this Fall, I actually got to see The State reunion tour when it was in Boston. Happy 30th TS!

Dec. 17, 2008: The Wrestler opens

In Dec. 2008 Darren Aaronofsky's greatest movie was released. Here is my piece I wrote in 2018. Happy 15 TW!

Dec. 18, 2013: Her opens

In Dec. 2013, Spike Jonze greatest movie was released! Here is my piece I wrote in 2018. Happy 10 Her!

Happy 51st Birthday to Marlon Wayans.

Born July 23, 1972, He is an actor, comedian, screenwriter, and film producer, beginning with his role as a pedestrian in I'm Gonna Git You Sucka in 1988.

He frequently collaborates with his brother Shawn Wayans, as he was on The WB sitcom The Wayans Bros. and in the comedic films Scary Movie, Scary Movie 2, White Chicks, Little Man, and Dance Flick. However, Wayans had a dramatic role in Darren Aronofsky's critically acclaimed Requiem for a Dream, which saw his departure from the usual comedies.

2025 Media Thread part 2

Previous

Seaquest DSV S1—This has a bad case of First-Season-of-a-Trek-Show. The characterization feels half-baked, and the scripts feel terribly dated. There's a vernier of golly-gee-willikers that makes it all feel a little sicky sweet and abstinence for life. Some episodes feel like a bad episode of night rider. That all being said, there are a few fun ones here, and the dolphin grew on me. I'll be sad to see a few of the cast go, but I know this is ultimately for the best. 5/10

Sharks of the Corn - This is pathetic even by Tubi slop standards. -4/10

Broken Path - Devil May Cry in real life! In actuality this was a pretty standard action vehicle, but it lacked the hook to keep me engaged. 4/10

Dark of the Sun - I won't be the first to say there might be a few problematic things in this film, but it's captivating. It's gripping, has the first use of a chainsaw in an action capacity, and has one hell of an ending. I see why it's so influential. During my movie night, we all agreed that everyone in the movie is mogging at all times. 7/10

The Mind's Eye: Radioshack Version - Theres are a lot of crazy visuals to riff on here, but not a lot of substance to latch on to. But what do I expect? 5/10

Noah's Shark - As sharkspoitation movies go, there's not a lot of shark here. It feels like they just added a shark to an unrelated script. It's nearly interesting a few times, but it just sucks! -5/10

Thunderpants - There was a period where such a low concept as 'funny fart kids movie' would be executed at such a high level. There's an undeniable Charlie and the Chocolate Factory energy here. The dry camp presentation and meticulously drabness are charmingly high effort. This movie is like a joke pitch fully realized. 7.5/10

Leviathan (1998) - There's a real lost gem here. Great production and some really fun character touches. It's undoubtedly derivative of Alien, and the ending is too happy-go-lucky. Especially with that shark. Maybe not gory enough, but it's missing the X factor that would have made it truly iconic. But we had fun! 8/10

Oblivion: Windfall - Unfortunately, I can only judge Elder Scrolls mods in the current context, and as such, this does not hold up well. Without voice lines, original assets or visuals, this mod has nothing charming to win me over. I got bored trying to do its menial busywork and realized I didn't care if it sent me out into the open world. I knew there wouldn't be anything I hadn't seen in the base game. 3/10

-Note: I checked some playthroughs, and it turns out there's nothing here at all, not even a reward at the end. Just a little gold.

The Thing: I felt misled by the emphasis on horror in this movie's reputation. The creature is gross all right, but I wasn't scared per see. No wonder this thing has staying power where the imitators don't. 8/10. SUS

Seaquest DSV S2- Star Trek first season syndrome is real. The second go-around makes the first look like a pilot. The characters have more interesting dynamics, and the stories are much less cheesy. A few episodes fall flat, but what can you do? The subtle additions of bonkers world-building are appreciated. 7/10

I'm Gonna Git you Sucka - Incredible comedy right here. The blacksploitation parody of Black Dynamite and the joke density of classics like Airplaine! Only way earlier! Where has this been all my life! 8/10

Ninja Avenger - Not even interesting by 80's ninja movie standards. We had to make our own fun by laughing at the weird incestuous framing. -3/10

Oblivion: Kragenirs Death. I was promised something interesting, but instead I got a hundred mildly amusing at best miscellaneous quests clogging my quest log. Not having quest markers doesn't make your busywork good. 1/10

Gundam G-Witch (final) - Boy did I procrastinate on finishing this series. Suletta is a just-like-me-fr character, so finding out she had a divorce arc got me scared. In the end I really enjoyed how it all sorted out, though I think the later half only works if the kids are gullible to a point that seems out of character. I think this might be the most Bechtel-test passing show of all time since the drama is all women and the main couple don't just survive as textual lesbians, but thrive. 8/10

Getter Robo - Ishikawa cooked. The Speed Racer era manga styling are punctuated with some really nice artistic flourish and the quality of the action and creativity make it all the more charming when it works its way through its growing pains. 7.5/10

Getter Robo G - It felt more like a refined version of its predecessor with higher stakes and spectacle. Watching Burai and his forces get torn to shreds in the finale is so cathartic, though I wish they had more small scale schemes to test the getter team like in the earlier chapters. 7.5

Seaquest 2032: Too bad the show found its final form right before being canned. Ironsides is a pitch perfect captain, and the introduction of character arcs like Piccolo learning how to read were shockingly compelling. I found I cared for the crew more than I expected the series could pull off. The lack of a real ending and lack of more exploratory adventures does bring it down a bit. It felt so sudden. 7/10

Gundam Evolve - It's shocking how little of substance is in these. The bar was low, since I assumed these were just shorts to experiment with computer animation, but they didn't fail to disappoint. 3/10

Kraven the Hunter - Judged as a real movie, this fails on most levels. While it looks competent and sometimes the action is even cool, it barely holds together. As something to riff over with friends, this shines. Kraven is never not mogging and looking like a bad Sigma grindset video. Hilarious movie. -7/10

A Minecraft Movie: leaked work print - We were hoping the half-finished CGI would make it feel more like the games and less like the bizarre art style they chose. We were wrong. It feels less like a movie and more like a series of studio notes that got stitched together in the edit. Its portrayal of women, kids, video games, and just about everything felt decades behind the curve to the point where I wasn't sure if the producers knew that Minecraft isn't actually (or spiritually) a video game from the 80's. But it would often slap us with bouts of comedy that actually got some real laughter out of us. Shoutout to the random Indian gambling ads -7/10

Dracula (1897) - When it hits, it hits. It was shocking to me how some of the moments of atmosphere and vampire eroticism hit the nail on the head and can still be felt in vampire media 127 years later. The travel, documentation, and investigative logistics worked for me, and I appreciated the feeling that our heroes were hot on the trail of the count in London. But the narrative utterly trips over itself when it comes to women. The bedside care got stale really quick, and the moments where Mina shines are tarnished whenever the book starts extolling her motherly virtues and weakness of spirit for ages. I also wish Van Helsing could get to the point occasionally. I'm glad I read it, but boy, does it drag. 6/10(as an experience, I recognize and appreciate it none the less)

The Elder Scrolls Oblivion - Believe it or not, but I was halfway through my playthrough when the remaster was announced. I'll give bite-sized opinions of certain questlines, but my feelings are that it has its charm, but the quest design/writing is kind of terrible, and the dungeons are shockingly bad. I actually broke the habit of exploring once I internalized that there was actually nothing worth anything or interesting that doesn't have a quest marker on it. Skyrim is a step up in almost every department relative to this. What felt like a cute side quest often was the city's main quest. Oblivion had me saying 'that's it?' more often than not. 5/10

Main Quest - Oblivion gates are as bad as people say, maybe worse. Only 2-3 times did there seem to be any ideas to engage with the concept. Martin earns his fan-favorite title, but everyone else just comes across as thick.

Fighter Guild - A few charming contracts, but it only remembered to have a story in the last act.

Mages Guild - Some of the recommendation quests were cute, but again, it felt like backloaded busywork after that. It felt so perfunctory

Arena - I might've been overleveled, but I banged this out in one sitting and didn't feel much.

Ruined Tail's Tale - I had a hard time taking this supposedly dark and emotional story seriously when he looks like this, can't see out of the default hood, blathers like a high schooler who just found out about philosophy, and dies like a doofus. This didn't do it for me 3/10

Bartholm - Fighting sea elves and the murder mystery that didn't really work is as good as this got, and that's a low bar when the rest is just more base game content. What would just be forgettable is made unforgettable (in a bad way) with wall-to-wall cringy references and real-life racism. Yikes. 3/10

Gates to Aesgaard - Visually creative, but long in the tooth. 5/10

Andor S2 - I think this might be the best television I've ever seen. 10/10

Jumper - Where's the trilogy??? It left our watch group thirsting for more competent mid-budget action. 7/10

House of Flying Daggers - This style of romanticism didn't really capture me. Spectacle, like the bit with the beans, was enough to grab my watch group, but around the mid section, we ran out of things to say. It's good, but it's kind of all here on the table at a certain point. 5/10

Plan 9 From Outer Space - Not the laugh riot I was looking for, but the high school level production earned its reputation. I've been spoiled by a higher tier of delusioneers. -6/10

Maids 1: Euphoria - The triviality of the sequels' humble origins cannot be understated. It is incredible that something I could beat in less than an hour could evolve into something that rocked me a few years ago. That said, I really didn't need to actually play this. 4/10

Note: At this point in my Oblivion playthrough, I've realized some installation issues with the base game (troubleshoot without mods installed) mean I can't play any of the DLC for Oblivion. It has also broken the last few mods I've played (Malevolent, Heart of the Dead, Saphirias Romance etc). I'm left to ponder if I should continue. I'll try a few more out, but there's a chance this might be the end of anything worth reporting. Overall, I feel as though the community has evolved so far that playing Oblivion mods serves only for contrast and historical interest. I haven't played anything with much caloric value, not that the base game had much either.

I know the 70s was the height of the Blaxplotation era, do you know of any Black films from the 80s that are comparable?

70s was notorious for blaxploitation, but in the 80s, it was all about heartfelt films like Stand By Me, Pretty In Pink, Breakfast Club, or Back To The Future. The whole blaxploitation ended pretty much in the seventies because Bill Cosby and Cecily Tyson boycotted black films negatively showing black heroes such as Pam Grier or Fred Williamson, who fought for equality or against drug pushers in the neighborhood. The 70s was all about player balls, cocaine, funk rock music and Cadillacs in blaxploitation movies but during the 80s Bill wanted to change the whole dynamic of black show business and have a different role for black actors just like Ester Rolle. He wanted sophisticated black women with profound jobs and black men who took care of their families. That's why in the late 80s and early 90s, there were a lot of black TV shows with this dynamic like The Bill Cosby show or Family Matters. Soon blaxploitation was forgotten about because people couldn't imagine Pam Grier (who was always nude in her films) playing Clair Huxtable or Jim Kelly, who was always kicking a white man's ass, playing Cliff Huxtable. I'm not saying that they couldn't if they tried, it's just the public already knew what they were all about, so they couldn't possibly see them in this sort of light. Some blaxploitation actors lost their careers around the 80s like Jim Kelly, Rudy Ray Moore, Ron O'Neal (aka SuperFly whose movie did huge numbers but failed to make another film because of the hate he gotten from press saying this movie was negatively impacting the black community), and Carol Speed. These actors were huge in the business for blaxploitation and kicking ass but soon, blaxploitation became the thing in the past. I could list hundreds more but the point is the seventies were huge for these stars but when the eighties came, the only surviving blaxploitation stars were Carl Weathers, who was famous for the Rocky film, and Fred Williamson.
