Did you ever see the Sean Connery flick “Meteor”? Surprisingly good, even with the uber-cheesy 70’s special effects.
And Natalie Wood was in it; even more sexy than usual when she was speaking Russian (yes, I know she was Russian). Another beauty that RIP’d too soon. She’s on my “Mt. Rushmore” off all time beauties, which includes (in no order):
Raquel Welch
Ann Margret
Claudia Cardinale
Julie Christie
Grace Kelley
Natalie Wood
I didn’t know you went to the Kentucky Derby:

Don’t worry; no asteroid is going to destroy the earth. That would impede the inevitable triumph of socialism.
San Fransicko, Chicago, NYC, DC...no such luck.
“...An Asteroid The Size Of A Bus ...”
Nah, that wasn’t an asteroid... that was my Mother-in-law’s ass...
“...uber-cheesy 70s special effects....”
“Uber-Cheesey”!!! Hahaha!! Love it! Sounds like a new brand of German Macaroni and Cheese!!!
You eat a giant bowl, and you immediately feel the urge to go and kick French ass!!!
OFFENSIVE!!!
Hey, the Vichys got off pretty easy...
Haven’t seen “Meteor”. I’ve heard of it, it was a huge bomb wasn’t it?
Do you think Robert Wagner pushed Natalie Wood off that boat?
No idea if it was a bomb; I was ~6 when it came out. Sean Connery and Natalie Wood are in it, so I watched it on cable.
Robert Wagner: Hmmm... If I had to speculate, he, Natalie Wood and Christopher Walken were all drunk off their asses and she ended up in the water, dead. I don’t think he pushed her in, but, we’ll never really know.
Speaking of unsolved Hollyweird stuff, I saw the movie “Autofocus” the other day (about Bob Crane). Wow. What a creepy freak. The guy should have just crossed over and gone into the porn industry. And I 100% think John Carpenter (not the ‘Halloween’ director) killed him. A truly shoddy job of police work by the Scottsdale PD.
I didn't say that but.....
Better safe than sorry.
Look, the way the world is going, I am PRAYING for something huge to take us out.
Gee whiz, a gay pimp.
Like the First Wookiee’s ass ?
That 1979 movie is pretty dumb. But I have watched it a few times because its fun and funny to watch, but haven't seen it on recently.
Natalie Wood plays Russian interpreter for the Russian scientist who is played by Brian Keith.
Both countries (US and USSR) built a satellite missile launcher pointed towards earth and kept it secret from the rest of the world.
So to save the Earth The US scientist played by Connery must convince him that both must be pointed away from the earth to blow up the asteroid. A few scenes where pre-fragments hit the earth boom.
Martin Landau plays the Russian military officer who opposes trusting the Americans.
Real dumb movie, but fun to watch, star cast in silly roles.
Kind of like the Airport movies, but they save the earth.
Thanks.
GIGITTY!
Martin Landau: He activates my Tourette’s. He also makes Khent freak out.
Although he was very good in “Ed Wood”.
He be lookin’ for he-whores.
“...Natalie Wood plays ....”
She was a beautiful lady. Remember her in “The Great Race” with Curtis and Jack Lemon.
Shame she died the way she did.
You just keep Khent in his closet where he belongs. Whenever “it” runs amok, nothing good comes from it!!! Haha!
