A confluence!

Airwolf Season 4? What’s that all about? I saw an episode & thought I was dreaming.

Almagamated mirror world tv show on laughing gas.

Not the Jan Michael Vincent & Ernest Borgnine jaunt in a weaponized whirlybird I was accustomed to!

Airwolf SE4 was broadcast on the USA Network, budget slashed, had the entire cast replaced, they filmed in Canada, & reused the flight scenes from earlier seasons! The chopper was a fake too!

Watch Airwolf Season 4 episode 20 “The Puppet Master” either on Hulu (why is it on HULU? Bandwidth be damned!),

or a dedicated fansite! http://bit.ly/9kSIp (OF ALL THE THINGS TO MAKE A FANSITE ABOUT?)

OMG! THEY'RE GONNA MAKE ME WATCH IT!

Spoiler: It’s like the Bloodhound Gang meets Skynet on the set of War of the Worlds the series. (Yes, I watched WOTWTS.)

It’s just so bizarre on many different levels.

Here’s the intro to Season 4 on youtube:

It’s not quite the same is it without JMV and EB?

Think I’ll go back to watching Banacek.

Ahhhh, R.I.P. George Peppard.

In honor of the The Boss playing in Boston tonight (and the weather)

I thought it appropriate to share one of my favorite songs from Born in the USA.

Downbound Train is a lament and a dirge, like only Springsteen can do it.

Bruce , Paris, 1985

Bruce , Hamburg, 2003


Mark, his basement, 2007

I don’t remember falling asleep during the beginning of “The Last Samurai”.

But I woke up during this scene!

NINJAS FLIPPING OUT! oh and gaijin Tom Cruise getting nasty with the katana.

What a delightfully epic battle scene in the middle of a Cruise flick. Who’d a thunk it?!

My favorite part of this clip is at 3:42, when after fighting dozens of ninjas, THREE MORE JUMP IN.
( I suggest you add it to your Netflix queue / Public Library request list.)

It’s “Glory” meets “The Last of the Mohicans” set in “The Seven Samurai”.

This is awesome.
