Which of these have you honestly never heard uttered in the 90s?

Unknowingly ate at a piece of cinema history today. Clocked the sign halfway through some hash browns and nearly choked as I immediately fired out sauna facts to my table.

Was watching the new Cape Fear and it occurred to me that the shape of Javier Bardem's head is doing a lot of work to make him scary. Bardem has kind of the opposite situation as Frank Langella and his career-limiting litte pin head.

We talk a lot about hair actors. But who are some great head actors?

Kyle Brandt coming through in the newest rewatchable podcast … Big Time!! The mail bag has spoken. The Mason Storm family picture. Now we just need proof the Seagal really did shitte his pants!

I bought these at a Big Lots in WV about 25 years ago. Best dollar I ever spent.

Bloody shootouts, car chases, gruff dialogue, and watermelons: that is essentially the run-down on this neo-Western action thriller film directed by Richard Fleischer, and written by the crime fiction great Elmore Leonard.

It stars Charles Bronson as the titular character, a Vietnam War veteran and farmer in rural Colorado hellbent on getting his watermelons picked with the aid of Mexican agricultural union organizer Nancy Chavez (portrayed by Linda Cristal).

Majestyk finds himself in a conflict with mob hitman Frank Renda (portrayed by Al Lettieri) who wants to kill him and destroy his farm after attempting to turn him in to local law enforcement after a prison bus escape.

This film has been referenced by Gary Oldman's character Drexl in the Quentin Tarantino/Tony Scott venture True Romance, comparing Christian Slater's character Clarence to Bronson in this film.

Filming took place on-location in and around the cities of La Junta, Canon City, Manzanola, and Rocky Ford in south-central Colorado in the fall of 1973.

Fun fact, the iconic pickup truck chase scene apparently used a singular stock Ford F100 pickup truck and shots from it were used by Ford for advertising purposes.

I would have added Minifigures in this picture but I didn't have any with me while doing this photoshoot. Also I didn't want to technically break rule 13 with sauna appropriate Minifigures, lol.
