JOHNNY MNEMONIC is FANTASTIC 1990's cheese. it's utterly ridiculous, and it has great fun being that way, pulling you right along for the incredible ride. one of my favorite films, and a "Pulse-Pounding" nostalgic callback to the days of my own early-mid-teens...

I hunted down the comics after watching the film the other day. Jesus Christ the drawings are pure arse gravy. As for The Rocketeer film I thought it was great fun. Very entertaining. Better imho than tripe borefiestas like X Men and other similar films that are just watery bumgrapes. Timothy Dalton was great!

HAHAHA Yeah, the older pulp covers and 70s comic were nice but I only know of the covers, never really read them, they had that suck you in feel to buy them. Yes the film was fun, didn't mean to bash it that much just the fact that these films were all really horrible due I think to the fact that its hard to make a 90 minute film and 30 or more of those minutes are just origin story on how they came to be. Would possibly be better as series or who knows. I think they did a great job on Watchmen but that was also easy or easier to do since it wasn't a character or group of characters that would be under a microscope for years and people just waiting for you to f**k up their shinning star hero that they look up to.

Yuki Saito VHS. I'm becoming a Saito fan after mistakenly ordering her tapes believing they were Yuki Kudo (bad kanji recognition). The 1.2 tape is one of the best sounding HiFi VHS I have come across, just superb and nothing lacking. Saito is a consumate performer, just superb in delivery, ability, stage presence and costuming. The clown suit at the beginning of the tape put me off for a while but the rest of the tape affirmed that Saito is someone special..

i saw THE ROCKETEER twice ever, once when it first hit the Rental circuit back in the day, once again, perhaps a three or so years ago, thanks to an original VHS i found at a thrift.
indeed, it was pretty lousy, no wonder it seemed to come and go with little fanfare in it's day.
even so, it did somehow manage to get an equally crummy NINTENDO SNES game tie-in...

I've been watching the old A-Team for the first time recently. Admittedly not paying full attention to that, it's almost just background noise. Not too keen on older tv usually. Never could stomach the original Star Trek series. In the case of Fawlty Towers, I had never even heard of it.
