Get rid of the trem and I quite like this. In fact, cut the headstock off and replace the trem with a Steinberger tuning bridge, or the Ibenez tuning mono-rails, and I’d be there!!
Even better in the yellow, but I would also want to change out the pick guard for something that pops!
Reminds me if a graboid from Tremors.
I’m afraid that reference is lost on me…
Tremors, the Kevin Bacon movie. The graboids are the Dune sand worm looking things.
Ah! Never seen it. Is it any good?
It’s charm is that it’s sort of a B movie done by on an A list budget (at the time). You might enjoy it for the cheesiness, or you might consider it 90 minutes of your life that you’ll never get back.
You remember Critters? I feel like I have to watch the series as an adult now 
Nope … I have clearly led a sheltered life! 
It’s a good/dumb movie, in that order. It bears watching over and over because everybody in it is having such a great time. Had to be a fun shoot.
Just checked, isn’t on Netflix and is a paid for on Prime…so that’s a pass from me at present 
Yeah, film/TV distributors contract with a given streaming service for a specific period of time only. Then they sell a property’s (film or series) exclusive streaming rights to another. Rinse and repeat.
Critters is pretty much cult. I used to be a fan of cheesy/horror B movies and Troma films. 
This is why I also liked Peter Jackson before LoTR
Tremors was my Mom’s favorite movie and Tron was my Dad’s. Watched both countless times as a kid. My wife of now 20 years just saw Tremors for the first time, against her will, about 6 months ago. She said she feels like she understands my childhood better but still wants her hour and a half back.
I appreciate the corniness of it but I can totally see how someone would walk away feeling like they wasted time that they’ll never get back.
Ishtar … watched it once… never again.
Unlike Tremors, Ishtar was intended to be good, very good. But it turned out to be a waste of time, straight up. It had a ton of top Hollywood talent behind it, only to amount to a steaming pile in the desert.
That’s a fact jack!
Princess Bride in 1987 featured 2 virtually unknowns as the leads … look where that went 
The Princess Bride was a William Goldman script, so it had a lot of high-power Hollywood cred going for it way before it was produced.
Speaking of which, back then I was heavily studying screenwriting. I signed up for an intimate workshop with a Hollywood reader (script analyst) who had recently moved to Austin. She said we would analyze a script she had come across that was a primo example of great screenwriting pacing, dialogue and character development. That then-unproduced script was titled “The Princess Bride.”
We laughed our asses off as we broke down each scene. It was a great piece of work. Ultimately, it would be a few years until director Rob Reiner would bring Goldman’s vision from the page to the silver screen.
