Title: Short Circuit
Post by: fuzzyoctopus on October 27, 2004, 01:27:57 AM: Found this DVD in the Wal-Mart $5 bin.

Who WROTE this movie?? They just don't do dialouge like this anymore.

"Butterfly? Where"

I remember enjoying that movie a lot. Unfortunately, because unsuccessful sequels are cheaper, the one seen more often on cable was Short Circuit 2. Which wasn't NEARLY as good.

It was written, incidentally, by Brent Maddock and S.S. Wilson. They generally work as a team, and have written some bad movies, including the sequel, all four Tremors movies and Wild, Wild West. Though he did also do Batteries Not Included and Heart and Souls, both of which were fun, though not really great. Cartoon fans will enjoy the fact that Wilson also wrote for the cartoon series MASK.

Post by: MoreDew on October 27, 2004, 11:23:08 PM: Okay....how am I supposed to interpret that? Regarding our past SE, I still don't understand how I'm supposed to interpret your remarks. Were you being sarcastic? Are you saying that I shouldn't have participated in this discussion? Because I understand it that everyone is allowed to participate or is the magnificent MoreDew not allowed? ???

Post by: The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers on October 27, 2004, 11:26:50 PM: it wasn't to say you shouldn't participate. It was to say that your specific comment really didn't add much to a conversation where people were talking about the good things in a movie. It was unhelpful: negative without providing any reasons or context.

Na, it's worth 99 cents Moredew, becsaue then you could sell it for $5 to Fuzzy. That's a 500% profit.
