His Christopher Walken story from The Rundown set is pretty damn funny.

The "steam" part of the conversion was definitely Walken hitting on him. I was at an Off Broadway play with a guy friend of mine in the mid 2000's and Walken was across the room at intermission and sent his assistant over to ask my friend if he would like to join Mr. Walken for drinks after the show. Walken smiled and waved as the assistant was talking to us. My friend declined and we were just kind of shocked and laughing at the brazenness of it all. True story. :lol:

I haven't had Godfathers since LSU back in the late 80s/early 90's.

Friend of mine works in corporate for Love's Truckstop and says they just opened a new location in Mandeville off the newest Interstate exit. Hardees and Godfathers Pizza I think. The only time I ever had Hardees was for an LSU/Miss State game 10 or 12 years ago in Columbus MS. Had the porkchop and the chicken fried steak biscuits for breakfast if I remember correctly and they were damn good. Never had the burgers or regular menu though and they are the same company as Carl's Jr I think. I think its an east/west of the Mississippi thing like the Hellman's/Best Foods arrangement. Might have to try it out on my next visit. I don't recall the Northshore ever having a Hardees.

That leaves my never tried fast food list at

In n out
Shake Shack
Carl's Jr./ Hardees
Culver's
Jack in the Box
Steak n Shake

Wendy's and Sonic used to be favorite go to but in the last 5 years they have both significantly dropped in flavor and quality IMO. A good fast food burger is a guilty pleasure for me. 5 Guys (although no drive through) remains my go to fix when I have a quick craving.

And the Expendables. I've been watching all the Statham movies I've missed over the years. Just watched Killer Elite last night as a matter of fact. Statham is a great action guy.

After looking closely it does seem to be Ai. I came across another video of New Orleans Mardi Gras that also looked perfect and organized- i.e. nothing like real life.. However, I watched Ro's Sambadrome parade last year on a live feed and the float sizes, costumes and amount of people are comparable. and the Sambadrome is real but maybe not the perfect fireworks :lol:

I only watched the first few minutes and did not consider AI being a possibility. Welcome to 2026 I suppose.

I was in 7th grade when that first ABC Wednesday Movie of the Week pilot aired. Man we loved us some bionic man.

---

I don't remember seeing this so I looked it up. Apparently there was a a pilot and 2 other TV movies throughout 1973 before the series first episode in January of 1974. After some searching I found the pilot and 2 of the tv movies online and watched 2 of them. Very different from the series. Different Rudy Wells actors- Martin Balsam for the pilot, and another for the Six Million Dollar Man- Wine, Women, and War movie. Steve Austin was a little bit more angry and adjusting to his bionics, and the WW &W movie was much more trying to be a spy movie ( a la James Bond) in style. It even had Britt Eklund who was Goodnight from the Man With the Golden Gun and David Mccallum who was Ilya Kuryakin in the Man From Uncle TV show. The intro music was a theme song by Dusty Springfield and was a seventies disco trip. I also watched the first episode of the series where it became more like I remember (without the sound effect yet as another poster stated).



The Bionic Woman series is in HD and found on Amazon Prime. I watched the first two episodes. The website I found to watch the Six Million Dollar Man is missing some episodes after the 3rd season so I won't be able to watch after that. It's not as hard to watch these as I thought it would be. The premise and the execution holds up even if production is a bit dated. But still way ahead of its time.

This was one of my favorite memories of childhood television. Barely old enough to remember watching the original shows but remember the big ones like the Bigfoot saga, the Fembots, and the Seven Million Dollar Man Barney. This show was way ahead of its time for Sci=Fi just like Star Trek was. Who didn't run slow motion and make the bionic sounds when slo-mo fighting with your friends? But I always wondered why they didn't use more of the clip of him running fast in real time (sped up on film) like they did on the intro.

This came up in my feed on youtube and even though it is looped the remade music is banging and it's a great two minute watch. I wish they could remake this with respect and the spirit of the original, but modern remakes don't have a great track record. The Bionic Woman attempt really sucked, but that was due to really bad casting for the lead for the most part. Still one of the best tv shows ever. Lee Majors was great when he played Steve Austin seriously.

this entire website is self described alpha males losing their shite about everything small on a daily basis.

I was excited for this movie but that would be a killing blow for me.
