Tennessee Movie Night




While Tennessee doesn't have a The Pit caliber movie filmed within its borders it does have The Evil Dead, The Silence of the Lambs, The People vs. Larry Flynt, Starman and of course Nashville. Also, these two movies.

King Kong Lives is from the director of The Towering Inferno, Shaft in Africa and Sheena: Queen of the Jungle.



It would also be his last theatrical film. Don't worry, he's still alive but I hope this movie didn't ruin him. It's a Dino De Laurentiis film during the era of Dune and Maximum Overdrive so the director probably knew what he was getting into.

To rectify the problem that this is a sequel and we saw Kong die in the last one, maybe Lives is pronounced with a long I and he's just on his second life, like if he was George in Rampage.



It's not so weird that we're doing Rhinestone. Bob Clark, the director, already has a movie in BMN history, Black Christmas. Sylvester Stallone was in Death Race 2000:



In fact, how do we not have more Sly at BMN. Cobra! Over the Top! Um, The Party at Kitty and Stud's?

Sylvester Stallone turned down the leads in Romancing the Stone and Beverly Hills Cop to be in Rhinestone. Ouch. And for his troubles he won the Razzie for Worst Actor. The movie also won Worst "Original" Song for "Drinkenstein". Well that title is delightful, I don't see how



Oh.

Here's what happened last week:
