OT: Let's talk about Movies and TV Shows, Part XXX (...how can this possibly go wrong)

Saw the Fallguy with Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt. Damn good fun movie and with not too many flaws, I would say. I would not mind if it became a franchise.

Heard that the movie is an homage to stunt actors and how they don’t get the recognition they deserve, especially when it comes to Academy Awards and getting snubbed at industry events.

Yea they really should make an award for that. It's trully indeed is an homage to the stunt work in general. The director of the movie is a former stuntman. It's basically a love story between a female director and a stuntman and also the star of the movie vs the stuntman. Pretty clever premise.

It was a blast. And Lee Majors even makes an appearance with Heather Thomas.

Does anyone remember a movie where these teen girls in Montreal decided to throw a party and the Habs showed up? At least I think that's how it went. I'm thinking it was from the 70s.

I had this big smile when he and Heather showed. The old man looked good for his age too! This showed me that this director respected the original franchise. And he's got my respect for that.

Loved the little Six Million Dollar Man Easter Egg they slipped in too.

Oh yea the music! They should have used it even more if I had my way.

These stunt actors must have their characters killed a ton of times.

Of course, mostly no work for them if Tom Cruise is the lead.

Tom Cruise stunt is spectacular but he wouldn't do the stunts the first guy did. He's not going to do face plants and risk damaging his livelihood. Risking his life is ok though

Zipped through this, 2 seasons with a different story each season and 3 episodes long. Quick and it was alright, dramatic and well acted.

How she looking?
Does it have anything to do with this show? Anyone remember it? When I was young and ballsy I told her I wouldn't mind going out with her ( guy-code talk for,.... you know ) Sure she was years older but worth a shot. Like they say in hockey, you can't score if you don't shoot. She was cool about the whole thing, nice and friendly but maybe because of whom I was there with? She ended up giving me a headband from the Battle of the network stars, don't know what happened to it though.
