This week we’re settling in over the winter holidays with our go-to movies for mindless entertainment without a deeper meaning. We start with Dee’s choice of Flash Gordon (1980), a delight of set and costume design, then a main course of double Bruce Willis in Hudson Hawk (1991) and The Last Boy Scout (1991), chosen by Joe and finally a dessert of Muppet Treasure Island (1996) to satisfy Dee’s love of The Muppets. Also: Spoffle. Tim Curry laughing. The Rocketeer (1991). George Harris. The Choke-me-daddy gun. With Nails by Richard E. Grant. The Cincinnati Kid (1965). Stuart Baird. Dick Butkus. The Muppet Movie (1979). SEAGULLS! (Stop it now). Mr Flibble. Cabin fever! Walter, the Muppet Mary Sue. We play a game of “Shane Black to the Future” and Joe wins a prize.
