2021-09-09 00:08:01 +0000 UTCI'm pretty sure you can get a strike for even just including lyrics.

2021-09-07 15:43:39 +0000 UTCI think the audience would accept the fact that the music has to be silenced for copyright. She could add the lyrics on-screen as captions on top of the muted video, as well, to assist.

2021-09-06 19:17:33 +0000 UTCI forgot the copyright takedown for musicals... This musical is quite iconic for sure!

2021-09-05 15:14:00 +0000 UTCBut yes, Little shop would be perfect for her. it's right at the top of my list for (along with Green mile and three amigos)

2021-09-05 14:46:36 +0000 UTCI'm sure she's concerned about copyright for a musical, but other people do it, so I can't see why can't get away with it. I've seen youtubers live stream hamilton, sync it up at the beginning and not stop until it's over. The problem is everyone at home has to have the movie. I don't know how many people have HBO max, but it's on there at the moment.

2021-09-05 10:40:09 +0000 UTCI had a feeling you might get a kick out of this one - the thing I like about Weird Al is that his stuff is usually hilarious but doesn't punch down. There are some questionable jokes that you for sure couldn't get away with nowadays, but overall it's a pretty silly, but wholesome experience. ALSO! If you need recommendations for Hallowbeans, I wholeheartedly recommend The Strangers and You're Next!

2021-09-04 15:26:33 +0000 UTCI've just checked -- now I've got some idea of what I should send, seeing as that list has narrowed it down. :-)

2021-09-03 22:04:42 +0000 UTCWhen I worked in radio I used to play the Spatula City commercial inbetween the other commercials. LOL The look I got from the office manager was priceless!!! (its on the UHF CD)

Paul Tully
2021-09-03 21:36:57 +0000 UTCI love that you got to see this movie!! I saw this in theaters. It got more of a cult following. It ran against the first Batman movie in '89. The reference from the beginning between MGM and Orion; Orion Pictures became bankrupt shortly after UHF was released. It was difficult to get this movie finally to DVD and BluRay. It also took quite a while to get to iTunes as well. You did say you should watch Close Encounters again. Please do so!! I would have enjoyed watching the entire movie with you, along with the Back to the Future trilogy.

2021-09-03 20:35:03 +0000 UTCBefore cable television and way before the Internet, most network-affiliated television stations broadcast at Very High Frequency, shortened to VHF. Some local, independent stations, with local community programming, broadcast at Ultra High Frequency, or UHF.

2021-09-03 15:26:48 +0000 UTCYou need to see 1986's Nothing in Common

2021-09-03 15:09:41 +0000 UTCone of your future ex husbands was in conan the Barabarian, he was also in the sequel and in the movie red sonja, (yes its arnie himself), the Man with the muscles that was rambo with sylvester Stallone, also in rocky

2021-09-03 14:41:09 +0000 UTCGone With The Wind should be seen by everyone at least once.
Robert Reichle
2021-09-03 04:53:55 +0000 UTCYeah, I've heard of it. Coincidentally, I considered buying a digital copy of it this week but didn't do it.

2021-09-03 01:57:43 +0000 UTC80s comedy with Michael Keaton about a Japanese car manufacturer setting up a plant in America.

2021-09-03 01:43:29 +0000 UTCI haven't seen Gung-Ho.
Tyler Foster
2021-09-03 01:40:11 +0000 UTCDo you think Gung-ho would be appropriate for Ashleigh to watch?
Thomas Ivie
2021-09-03 01:36:37 +0000 UTCAs an Asian-American guy, I gotta be honest -- I have no idea if that "supplies" joke is actually meant to be an accent joke or literally just a "surprise" pun. The guy who plays Kuni was also in Sixteen Candles, and his material in that movie is so much worse than "supplies" even if is a mildly racist joke (if it is, it's the only one of those in the movie -- he's doing a cartoonish voice but not the bad "Asian caricature" voice or broken English that is the hallmark of so many other '80s comedies with Asian characters).
Tyler Foster
2021-09-03 01:09:59 +0000 UTCOK, gotta add Conan the Barbarian, Rambo and Gone with the Wind on the to do list! Good to know!
Matthew Periolat
2021-09-03 01:00:12 +0000 UTCYou definitely gotta listen to some of Weird Al's music. It's the same silly sense of humor. And that song in the middle of the movie with the Beverly Hillbillies was originally "Money for Nothing" by Dire Straits. I'm sure you've probably heard Weird Al somewhere along the way and didn't know it. He's got more stuff from the 80s and 90s than the 00s and 10s.
Joe Blankenship
2021-09-03 00:24:10 +0000 UTCI just wanted to ask -- do you happen to have a Blu-ray Player, Ashleigh? I was thinking of mailing a movie your way, but I wasn't sure if DVD or Blu-ray were the easier option for you. :-)
Matt Blanchette
2021-09-03 00:11:16 +0000 UTCHad to come here just because you skipped my favorite part in the short reaction (drinking from the fire hose) glad you liked the movie!
Mark Finley
2021-09-02 23:53:43 +0000 UTC*Click* "Nope." *Click* "Nope." *Click* "Nope." Reveal!!! Best gag ever! I love this movie. Big Weird Al fan. My favorite thing about this movie is that I love when an antagonist realizes that they have lost and/or experiences some humiliation and this movie delivers multiple events.

2021-09-02 23:14:41 +0000 UTCThat was a lot of fun :) Your imitation of the bad guy's maniacal laugh was hilarious.

2021-09-02 22:12:24 +0000 UTCReferences, because not everyone is a TV and movie-obsessed Gen-Xer like me: Conan The Librarian was a riff on the Arnold Schwarzenegger movie Conan the Barbarian. The big action sequence was a reference to "Rambo: First Blood Part 2," starring Sylvester Stallone. The first movie, "First Blood," is about a homeless Vietnam vet who runs afoul of dirty local cops. The second movie, which is the reference here, is the same character being sent back to Vietnam to win it this time. USA! USA! There are more movies in the series but the third one aged *really* badly. "We don't need no stinking badgers!" is a reference to a line from the Humphrey Bogart movie "Treasure of the Sierra Madre." The movie is pretty much mostly known now for the line, "We don't need no stinking badges!" And "Tomorrow is another day" is a reference to "Gone With The Wind."
