I know it has nothing to do with the theme, but I'm like Michael Douglas in the first ten minutes of Falling Down any time I go to one. Madness. Absolute madness.<br /><br />I really can't remember shit about either of the Part 3s you mentioned, and I haven't seen The Wedding Ringer...yet. Though the combination of Hart and Gad seems like a really bad idea. Really bad.<br /><br />Group Date, huh?

I remember going to Canada's Wonderland one year and getting into a ride only for a torrential downpour to hit then and there. I was stuck in the little car along with my friend. When it passed, the ride started and getting really soaked when the car went upside down and all the water around my feet to go all over me.

Phew! But since that magnet for crap Dennis Quaid was the star my expectations were low from the start. The other two just looked so execrable I was never tempted though I did really like the original Beverly Hills Cop.<br /><br />Well Dell we're in agreement on the lines at amusement parks but not the ride of choice. I hate rollercoasters (it's a very much love it or hate it sort of ride) but love spinny rides. If I get off and I'm dizzy I count the ride a success! I have a similar story to yours where we arrived at Six Flags right at open, went on the giant Ferris Wheel and there was a sudden cloudburst which drenched us since we were at the top. The upside is that since it was early it dissuaded the crowds for about an hour and a half and since we were already sopping we went on all the water rides with zero wait time!<br /><br />Your favored ride is the feature of my first pick, Disneyland my last and who the hell knows what is going on in my second!!<br /><br />Rollercoaster (1977)-After a rollercoaster derails due to a device placed on the track the major amusement park owners receive a taped message from the mad bomber (Timothy Bottoms) that unless they pay him a million dollars the carnage will continue. Safety inspector Harry Calder (George Segal) who had cleared the first coaster and was investigating the crash is pulled in by FBI agent Hoyt (Richard Widmark) when the nameless young man demands Harry deliver the extortion money to his next target or he’ll detonate another bomb. Suspenseful but not quite the experience it was in theatres where it was presented in Sensurround. <br /><br />The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies!!? (1964)-I really can’t better this IMDB description: "Jerry falls in love with a stripper he meets at a carnival. Little does he know that she is the sister of a gypsy fortune teller whose predictions he had scoffed at earlier. The gypsy turns him into a zombie and he goes on a killing spree." <br /><br />Or the tagline:<br />SEE: the dancing girls of the carnival murdered by the incredible night creatures of the midway! SEE: the hunchback of the midway fight a duel of death with the mixed up zombies! SEE: the world's first monster musical! <br /><br />It’s not good but it’s unique!<br /><br />40 Pounds of Trouble (1962)-Sixties version of the Damon Runyon story Little Miss Marker about a little girl left in Lake Tahoe casino manager’s Steve McCluskey (Tony Curtis) care as a hold against the debt owed by her father. When the father is rubbed out Steve with the help of the casino’s singer Chris Lockwood (Suzanne Pleshette) has to look after the tyke and dodge various people after him for different reasons. They decide to take the little one to Disneyland (at this point open less than 10 years) and between rides are chased through the park offering a pretty complete picture of what the place looked like in the 60’s. Cute comedy where unsurprisingly being mostly a Disney movie all ends happily.joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-36996357723353571982017-07-13T09:51:39.633-04:002017-07-13T09:51:39.633-04:00I was planning on watching the Jaws series but now...I was planning on watching the Jaws series but now I'm not that sure anymoreSonia Cercahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07313734872038610058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-40578689899982635602017-07-13T09:07:02.795-04:002017-07-13T09:07:02.795-04:00I'm LOLing very hard at all of these picks, De...I'm LOLing very hard at all of these picks, Dell. I was SO disappointed with Beverly Hills Cop III - the first was amazing, and the second was pretty good, too! But this one was trash. I thought the trailer for The Wedding Ringer made the movie look appallingly awful, so I can't imagine how it would make someone actually want to see it - let alone such a large group!Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11480863610135936930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-44728064690141377812017-07-13T07:51:50.090-04:002017-07-13T07:51:50.090-04:00lol what you said about the Jaws movies (though I ...lol what you said about the Jaws movies (though I liked Jaws 2) 3 and 4 were awful.

That screenshot says it all about that fucking movie. <i>Beverly Hills Cop 3</i>. I saw that in the theaters and enjoyed it but as the years have gone by. I cringe when I watch it as it's just not very funny and Eddie was obviously phoning in that performance. thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.com
