Out of Touchstone

After taking a week to learn about about Curling and review footage frame by frame to see if the Canadians cheated, we're back with a new episode. John Travolta is a simple man in a simple movie. youtu.be/mloNi2yM9UI?... #RIPRobertDuvall

I vaguely remember Michael. I thought it's probably similar to Phenomenon. Looked it up. It's directed by Nora Ephron. Maybe I'll give it a rewatch before the end of the year.

I'd say that was a good decision.

Cutting Edge and the Bring It On series are up there with American Pie for number of sequels you don't expect.

After watching all those films, I still don't know who Vincent Spano is or how it took doing Out of Touchstone to find out he existed.

Only 1 of the credited cast is still alive. It's become a Cemetery Club.

This episode of Out of Touchstone, we take a break from the 1996 Touchstone slate and check out some #Olympic themed films. It's called, trying to cash in on popular trends. #Milan #GoForTheGold. youtu.be/8ZM6EWV7t0w?...

Hopefully this becomes either a weekly show or quarterly special. Only thing that felt off was Kermit's voice but maybe he finally hit puberty.

Will give this a listen. Thanks.

It's available to stream on the CW network. And it features the Tragically Hip. That's so unusual for a Canadian production.

I'm curious to see an original cut or script to see what the initial vision was. Random connection. I started watching Downhill Racer, a Robert Redford film about the Olympics. It was written by James Salter who wrote the short story that inspired Boys. I had never heard of him until last week.

Maybe they need to bring back tug of war. If it was still the late 90s, we could have X-Treme Tug of War with a pit of piranhas the losers fall into.

I didn't know there were movies about curling. I have to find them and watch them. And read up on the broom design blow up.

With the Olympics starting this week, what are some of your favorite Olympic movies? What Olympic sport do you think deserves a movie?

Episode 11 of Out of Touchstone looks at the cleverly titled Winona Ryder film "Boys." A title so informative it should play on a double bill with "Plane." youtu.be/de41Tw6abfU?... #90sFilms #StrangerThings

This year's Royal Rumble was kinda flat for me. If you watched, what did you think? I always remind myself that pro wrestling is a never-ending story, so don't get too caught up in the moment.

Shocking news about the passing of Catherine O'Hara. She was part of four Touchstone Pictures: Dick Tracy, Betsy's Wedding, A Simple Twist of Fate and the voice of Sally in The Nightmare Before Christmas. #RIP

Can Sharon Stone continue her trajectory of serious actress after Casino? Can Rob Morrow shake the stigma of TV actor? Can death row be sexy? That last question maybe doesn't apply. In this episode of Out of Touchstone we examine the legal drama Last Dance. youtu.be/vvkAflLPtvQ?...

For me, the fact Sharon's Stone character is guilty of a double murder, didn't exactly make me sympathetic to her. There really wasn't a reason to root for Rob Morrow. Just glad after the next episode, Touchstone starts to release better films.

This week's Touchstone flashback is the 1996 film Two Much. What's better than 1 Antonio Banderas? 2 Antonio Banderases! It's like The Parent Trap only different. (Pretty sure that was the pitch). youtu.be/8s9XF-395nM?... #90sFilm #Twins

I had never seen it until working on the episode. Stick with Twins. Arnie and DeVito are more believable siblings.

This Mexican film made in 1976 about the events. Alive has better production values and effects but there are some scenes in Survive that are more intense and gives a better (read: more intense) sense of what the survivors went through. youtu.be/Z4j0Qq_4qrU?...

This has been the most viewed episode so far. Hopefully that means people are starting to find the series and like what they see. Only four more episodes until we get to the films that made Touchstone money in 1996. youtu.be/Sl6MIiC-m6Y?... #90sFilm #Newsroom

Surprised this never got a sequel. If ever there was a movie that would come back again, this was it.

It wasn't until the last 15 minutes that I remembered I'd seen it sometime in the last 5 years. So not exactly memorable.

Tuesdays mean several things. Taco Tuesday. The day Wimpy pays for his hamburgers. Radio stations play back to back songs by the same artist on Two for Tuesday. But the important thing, it means a new Out of Touchstone. 1996 continues with 2 icons of the silver screen. youtu.be/Sl6MIiC-m6Y?...
