It's because I love, love, love Get Shorty and think it is a pretty much perfect classic, and Be Cool pisses all over it. So for me as a Get Shorty megafan, it was an abortion.

I loved Get Shorty as well. I could watch this clip a million times and still love it.

Inception
Not a bad movie

Be Cool was not very good, especially when you compare it to Get Shorty, but was it one of the worst movies you ever watched?

No order-

Roller Town
Midsommar
The Witch
The Last Airbender (this movie doesn't exist and it's better that way )
The Happening

I could probably very easily list a (frank)ton more.

Sportsnet ran a "what if" Gretzky signed with the Leafs for the 96/97 season story the other day. It's an interesting question so I dusted off the most state of the art NHL simulator at the time...NHL 97 (the one with John Vanbiesbrouck on the cover) for the SNES (actually a RetroDuo that plays NES and SNES games) and inserted Gretzky into the 96/97 Leafs.

Simulated the season. Results? Dead last in the division. Oddly enough, Bryan McCabe led the NHL with 40 goals.

So I ran a different kind of "what if" scenario. What if the Leafs got to re-do all their 1st and 2nd round picks from 1981 to 1991.

1981
Benning 6th ---> MacInnis 15th.
Yaremchuk 24th ---> Chelios 40th.

1982
Nylund 3rd ---> Stevens 5th.
Leeman 24th ---> Same and trade for Gilmour or just pick Gilmour.
Ihnacak 25th ---> Sandstrom 36th.

1983
Courtnall 7th ---> Neely 9th.
Jackson 28th ---> Zezel 41st.

1984
Iafrate 4th ---> Roberts 12th.
Gill 25th ---> Same.

1985
Clark 1st ---> Same.
Spangler 22nd ---> Nieuwendyk 27th.

1986
Damphousse 6th ---> Same.
But traded for Shanahan

1987
Richardson 7th ---> Sakic 15th.
Marois 28th ---> Desjardins 38th.

1988
Pearson 6th ---> Selanne 10th. (Roenick at 8th or Brind'Amour at 9th)
Domi 27th ---> Same.

1989
Thornton 3rd ---> Guerin 5th.
Pearson 12th ---> Kolzig 19th.

Guerin + Kolzig ---> Sundin.

Bancroft 21st ---> Foote 22nd.

1990
Berehowsky 10th ---> Brodeur 20th.
Potvin 31st ---> Same.

1991
Niedermayer 3rd ---> Same.

So here's how the 1992-1997 Leafs could have looked.

Shanahan / Sakic / Sundin
Clark / Gilmour / Selanne
Roberts / Nieuwendyk / Neely
Sandstrom / Zezel / Domi

Stevens / Chelios
Niedermayer / MacInnis
Foote / Desjardins
Gill

Brodeur
Potvin

Simulated the entire season 96/97 season and this time the Leafs finished 1st in the Division, 3rd overall.

Awards:

Presidents Trophy: Flyers
Vezina: Cujo
Jennings: Hextall
Norris: Desjardins

All realistic scenarios in 1996/1997. Then poop got weird.

Art Ross: Renberg
Selke: Renberg

Yes, THE Mikael Renberg.

But wait...there's more!

Lester B. Pearson: Janney
Hart: Janney

Yes, THE Craig Janney.

He had 79 points (12th overall) but he was double MVP.

On to the playoffs. Simulated every game except elimination games.

1st round: Phoenix: 4-0.
2nd round: Colorado: 4-0.
3rd round: Dallas: 4-3. Game 7 OT GWG: Roberts.
Final: Florida: 4-0. Cup winning goal at Maple Leaf Gardens: Clark.

One last award...

Conn Smythe: Svehla

Yes, THE Robert Svehla.

But Leafs win!

Top Gun was pretty good too.....

.... I'll show myself out.

Are you saying his dog was complaining about covid working conditions and lack of ppe?

Oh Frank yes!

I maybe get why teenage girls would like it, but it's the stupidest movie ever made.

Close second is Oxford Blues with Ally Sheedy and Rob Lowe. My wife and I actually saw it in the theatre together, but before we were actually dating.

They couldn't cram another obvious cliche plot item into the franking thing.

Oh, and Cocktail!!!!!

Good Morning bored Leafies.

Starting a new bracket today. This is actors who have played Superheroes / X-men / Comic book characters etc.

We're voting for how hot the actor is, NOT the character. I won't always post pics of the character. Some of the women have even played more than one such role.

The bracket has been set, 32 female actors.

First Matchup... A or B

This thing now with 'Obamagate' where he's accusing Obama of something but when asked he clearly doesn't know is a new level of derp. He's retweeting QAnon level nonsense and thinks that it's a thing. I'm actually embarrassed for him and his cult victims as fellow human beings now. It's really a tragedy of human mental dysfunction writ large.

I haven't seen the Battle of Midway and there is no rating on it on Rotten Tomatoes, but I can say this: if you look up the history of the Golden Raspberry Awards, Battlefield Earth won in 2000, The Battle of Midway wasn't even nominated. Mommy Dearest, if I recall correctly swept the Golden Raspberry awards, worst movie, worst actress Faye Dunaway, worst director and more, I could only take about 15 minutes of that stinker.
- winsix

Don't be confused... there are a number of Midway movies.

This specific one is Dauntless: The Battle of Midway and it was 2019.

OMG I am remembering parts of it now... ROFL! it is so bad.

I loved Get Shorty as well. I could watch this clip a million times and still love it.

So good. Every actor in that movie is kicking ass, every line and scene is great, all the tracking shots following characters are so styley, and it has one of the great movie soundtracks ever.
