Not my usual cup of tea but one of the things I love about watch alongs is trying movies I would not have thought of. #FridayThrillerClub #Bat21

I've never been in a helicopter. They're like flying boulders. They lose power, they crash. Not like lighter aircraft which are possible to land without the power because it's the wings that provide lift, which helicopters don't have them. #fridaythrillerclub
Everybody in this unit is crazy. #fridaythrillerclub
This week’s #FridayThrillerClub leading men are Gene Hackman, Danny Glover,, Jerry Reed, David Marshall Grant, Clayton Rohner and Joe Dorsey

#fridaythrillerclub Well, that was really messed up.

The actor playing the young pilot is David Marshall Grant. He also appeared with Hackman in The Chamber. That's one that's on the list as an alternate for here in June/July. #fridaythrillerclub

“Hey there, Big Sky buddy, better tuck tail and head home, ya hear? Over.”
#fridaythrillerclub This was based on a book released in 1980. At that time, this was almost a John Sturges movie starring…Dean Martin?
…
Okay, then.
I have not seen tonight's movie, Bat*21, which continues @MatthewTitus88's memorial to Gene Hackman.

I'm not much of a war movie person but if the story is good, sure.
I put on another episode from our best of Mystery Science Theater 3000, featuring Prince of Space, just until #FridayThrillerClub starts.

@kamikat has been compiling a best of list from her online research, recommendations from other fans in the community.
The new Gizmoplex makes it simple and pretty cheap, less than 10 USD, to buy each episode individual including DRM-free downloads.
I've created a playlist on @jellyfin running on Lovelace so we can easily watch. I even found cover art I like for the list.
I realized playlists would be good ideas to for the movies we've been adding to follow #FridayThrillerClub and #KungFuSat.
That was fun! What a great choice @MatthewTitus88!
Thanks everyone for putting up with my silly stream of consciousness. I really enjoyed re-watching this one after so many years. #SupermanTheMovie #FridayThrillerClub
Which leads to one more idea in this silly thread that explains why I like Man of Steel as a sci fi interpretation as much as I do.
So to fly in space at speeds this organ must be capable of, he'd need additional senses, like a gravity sense. So maybe he can see the curve of spacetime, emphasis on the time part. So repeating the warning is more like don't touch hot stove stuff. #SupermanTheMovie #FridayThrillerClub
I think this could make narrative sense too. Jor-El's warning is only part of the lesson. What we can't hear because the knowledge would be to dangerous, by implication of the warning, is how this all works. And then Jor stresses the warning again and again.
Well, narrative sense as much as emergency self destruct makes sense. Why even tell Kal how to use his power this way. Like is it obvious to kryptonian senses? Maybe it would have to be. #SupermanTheMovie #FridayThrillerClub
From Supe's perspective, the Earth appears to spin backwards. Not actually, but it is his view of time running in reverse. He is moving at such vast speed that he has to perform a retrograde flight (OK, here maybe things get sketchy) as a sort of braking maneuver. Now Earth appears to slow and return to proper rotation.
As opposed to my kid mind simply had to accept that if somehow you could spin Earth backwards, time would reverse. Because movie logic.
Well, that's one way to do a comic book movie. Lots of fun. Thanks for sharing your time #fridaythrillerclub friends. Next week, one I don't believe I've seen.....Have a great weekend. Take care. See ya soon.
OK, I think this is more evidence for the kryptonian anti-gravity bladder hypothesis.
Hear me out.
Kryptonian super science figures out how to use the strange matter the organ concentrates out of the particles that stream endlessly from Earth's yellow sun, far more so than Krypton's red sun. Through concentration strange feats become possible. Skimming a gravitational curve to move backwards through time. #SupermanTheMovie #FridayThrillerClub
