Summary[]
It's a Ben's Choice bay-bee! Dry, dusty tombs ✓ Crazy convoluted tech ✓ Vast intergalactic conspiracies? ✓✓✓ 1994's Stargate really does have it all. This week Ben gets to makes his case for this Egyptian/Sci-Fi Roland Emmerich cult favorite, and why it's best viewed from a porch. [1]
Milestones and Ephemera[]
- When are they gonna do a Carpenter series?!?!?
- Kudos to the blankie SB who snuck in producer Ben's nicknames into the new Mortal Kombat! [2]
- Ben is transitioning to a dry guy!
- Griffin's Emmerich take: Spielberg for morons (not necessarily a bad thing)
- Emmerich is on the Blank Check Black List. Google him? Or don’t! He’s bad.
- Yes, Emmerich's films are trash but they're Griffin’s flavor of trash.
- Porch movie logistics: they ran an extension cord outside. Sometimes it was cold, sometimes it was sunny. Porches are the only place they had to go.
- Box-Office Game: Weekend of October 28, 1994. Griffin's battery was at 4%... can he make it without getting out of his chair to get a charger???
- Possible future Ben's Choice eps: The Simpson's Movie, Tank Girl, Joe Dirt, Airplane!, and Bob Dylan: Don't Look Back.
