Trying to think of something clever, but today isn't the day. Pop culture and stuff.
That one I missed in its initial run--never got around to seeing it at the video rental store in the '90s, and I had forgotten that it had actually existed until about 5-6 years ago

I have never seen this one at all. Gotta see if I can find it somewhere.

I know his widow (who managed his estate and works) wasn't a fan either. After the live-action Cat in the Hat movie, she stated that any movies going forward must be animated.

That's just a whole other level of awful.

An hour and 10 minutes before he gets anywhere near stealing Christmas.
Horrible makeup for the Grinch the Whos.
Jokes that are inappropriate for a Dr. Seuss story, or a family film in general (and I'm not a prude!)
People swear this is a good movie--it's not. Least it's not the Cat in the Hat.

There's ONE unoffensive gag in here that I thought was funny.
I will NOT be posing any other clips from this (or any of the Censored 11/offensive) shorts anytime soon. And I'd be extremely surprised if this gets a release anytime soon from Warner Archive, disclaimer or not.

Definitely. One thing that I have always loved in those H-B directed shorts was the music. In addition to this, Scott Bradley's scores were just magnificent.
If they ever made a collection of just his music from the shorts, I'd would buy it in a heartbeat.

In honor of Wilford Brimley, this episode of We Hate Movies pays tribute to him by reviewing Hard Target.
(REALLY funny episode altogether, but you can skip to the 54:28 mark to hear the greatness).

That was a REALLY cool aspect from that film, especially during a time where most female roles in 80s action films were either a love interest, or simple kidnap bait.

That score was WILD--steel drums has no place in an action film, but once the sax kicked in, it was like, "What's the hell?!"
It was so bizarre, but it worked...?!

It was a weird time in his filmography--Terminator was a massive surprise hit, but his follow-ups felt like B-movie fare. Red Sonja was forgettable, Commando was WAY better than it had any right to be, and Raw DEAL is an oddity--it felt like it was meant for a serious actor, not for Arnold.

Commando was an insane action film that feels like a Cannon film, but was made by a major studio. You'd almost swear that it made by Golan-Globus (but there was NO way they could afford Arnold's salary, or a fraction of the budget for his films).
