    Lalo Schifrin passed away. Maybe the most fun movie and TV composer, of all my faves. Enter the Dragon, Bullitt, Dirty Harry movies, Matt Helm movies, Cool Hand Luke, Mission Impossible, Mannix, Starsky & Hutch. A jazzy coolness in much of his work. His music makes you feel like the lead in a movie.

    Happy Birthday to actor Antonio Fargas, born August 14, 1946, in NYC! He's been in some of my fave films: Putney Swope (1969), Blaxploitation films like Shaft (1971), Cisco Pike (1972), and he played "Huggy Bear" on TV's "Starsky & Hutch" (1975-1979). And that's only the '70s! More: alt text

    Masters Of The Universe is a lot of fun and it's nice to see actual colour on a screen instead of just murky sludge. Tonally it's a weird one. It's not a parody of the cartoon but it is aware of how daft it all is. I'd say the closest thing to it in tone is the Starsky & Hutch movie. (1/2)

    I can see why they are doing the same thing. In my youth you had studios releasing remakes of Charlie's Angels, Starsky & Hutch, Dukes of Hazzard. I had a vague awareness of what those shows were, but they had legit movie stars headlining them. The mindset has stayed the same, but not the casting.

    Just started watching the 2004 Starsky & Hutch film. Turned it off after half an hour. They tried to make it a comedy by putting Owen Wilson and Ben Stiller in it. Failed spectacularly, as American filmmakers often do when attempting comedy. When I had a cancer scare it was funnier than this. 👎
