Whose that girl with the drink that has a name that reminds you of another drink but not the one in her hand?
I saw her the other night on an old sitcom. She played the wife and was incredibly young. She was part of a replacement couple who took over for the former stars when the show changed networks. Which was quite unusual for the sixties.
She guest starred on a bunch of my all time favorite shows like Police Story, Starsky and Hutch and even Fantasy Island. She was in two of my all time favorite exploitation films one of which is in the top five all time blackspolation films!
Whose that girl?

"What's a telltale sign that a film is going to be bad?"
Reddit best answers...
When it's advertised as... "The Best Family Movie of 2016" and it's only February
When the poster have comments like: "Better than The Godfather", "Scarier than Psycho"
Forced romance plot in a non-romantic movie. (Edge of Tomorrow)
When all the media hype ends on the day of release.
Not screening for critics is really the surest sign.
Crotch injury in the trailer.
Really quick cuts for the trailer
A sequel announced with a lot of the original cast missing

Automated parking lot fights... they are too contrived for me
What movie cliché drives you crazy?...
> punches goon
> goon falls over
> that's enough of that guy, through to next room
People breaking through glass windows without getting a single scratch.
Turning the TV on and immediately seeing the relevant news report.
When the main character decides not to hurt the main villain of the movie, but is totally ok with slaughtering hundreds of their minions/workersThat last one reminds me of this Kevin Smith's first movie scene...
Lastly
Feedback whenever anyone approaches a microphone, then the sound is suddenly 100% perfect.

What social situation happens only in movies?
Making plans for a date without specifying location or swapping contact details."Pick you up at 8?"
Everybody always speaks so clearly that nobody ever has to say "Pardon me"? "What was that"? "Say that again?"
How easily people can access rooftops.
Guy is too busy unloading a truck/ doing other manual labor to stop and answer detectives' questions regarding the murder he witnessed. Bonus points if it's a bartender endlessly dry-scrubbing an empty tumbler glass or wiping down a clean bar with a dry rag.
One guy vs 10 dudes in a fight scene where the other guys just wait their turn to fight him.

Political Correctness is destroying our Country!
Political correctness has destroyed our country. I don't care that it has destroyed college life. I don't care that it has destroyed the process of hiring employees. I don't care that it has destroyed going to the bathroom. But when it destroys a classic Western it is time for violence.
They remade the Magnificent Seven. The villains are not Mexicans. They are white guys. Actually a mine company who want to develop fossil fuels or something. The leader of the Seven is played by Denzel Washington. The premise is that a white woman in the 1880's went to a black guy for help. Right. You got your historical accuracy right there. The fact of the matter is Denzil would have been hanged just for talking to her but now he is her savior.
The other members of the Seven include a Chinese guy and a Native American. What no transgenders? No lesbians? WTF! This cannot stand.
The fact of the matter is I would have made a fantastic remake of the Magnificent Seven set in the present day that would have starred Denzel. Imagine this. A housing project is being terrorized by a Mexican gang led by a Cartel linked gangster called Talvera. A young black girl goes to the local drug lord played by Denzel and pleads for help. For the chilrens! Or maybe he is a retired drug/gang guy but has a fearsome rep. He goes out and recruits a bunch of other guys. Say a retired Mafia hit man guy who owes him a favor and hates his life now that the Mob is over and wants to go out in a blaze of glory.. A Puerto Rican ex boxer who likes knives and hates Mexicans. A big guy who is down on his luck but wishes he could have been a father to the babies he had with a bunch of baby Momma's. The Charles Bronson part. Make him a disgraced old football player with a fearsome rep like Jack Tatum or something. Man the possibilities are endless. You could have made a great action movie set in the present day using the tenplate of the Seven and had a great politically incorrect movie.
But Hollywood would never do that. I won't be going to see this piece of shit. Just like I won't go to see that Tarrentiono abortion the Hateful Eight even though some of my favorites like Russell and Goggins are in it. I have better Westerns playing in my head than they make these days.
Maybe I can make that story a continuing series here at Lems? Nah. Spinelli would get mad. He hates repetition. Never mind.
