Ahh..that's beautiful stuff.
Love the sauce of the Gods
Going to get to the first award of the
show in a moment but let's serve up the first nomination for the
coveted Blue Ribbon for Best Picture to get things rolling.
From 1987 Nello Rossati's Django
Strikes Again
It had been 21 years since Franco Nero
appeared on screen as Django & after countless unofficial sequels
he steps back into the role of the character that spawned a genre.
Django has long since put the violence behind him & has joined a
monastery. After he is informed that his daughter has been kidnapped
by the diabolical 'El Diablo' Orlowsky to be sold to a brothel Django
must once again adorn the machine gun that has made him a legend
Time for the first award..The Life of
Influence Under the Influence – The 40
This week's recipient is none other
then the Bearded Warrior himself - Chuck Norris
Like many kids (although no very PC
now) I used to have toy guns & my friends & I used to play
Missing In Action in the woods in my neighbourhood. Sure Rambo may
have a bigger icon for the genre but I saw MIA first so James
Braddock was my hero to save the POWs. Even when I lost my gun &
had to battle the enemy I refused to die kung fuing the shit out of
them to save my prisoners. I should have wore a fake beard just to
complete the role.
Later in life in grade 7 & 8 I had
a teacher that drew an uncanny resemblance to Norris. I used to have
a paperback of Invasion USA that he looked just fucking like him on
the cover.
One time when I was in French class we
spotted him on the roof of the school getting down dodge balls &
we all cheered for him because there was no doubt that he used his
mad skills to get up there. To us he was the incarnation of the
Bearded Warrior..only in a suede suit.
This week I watched Braddock:Missing
In Action III (which I had never seen) & truthfully the movie
won't win Norris any awards but that's besides the point. Not all
his movies are good. Actually he sorta has hit a shit skid after
Delta Force but he has many that I absolutely love like Code of
Silence, Lone Wolf McQuade, Forced Vengeance & of course the
first 2 MIAs..& he is one of the baddest mother-fuckers on the
planet.
Well this first cold one is done like a
dead Vietcong solider.
..Be back after this super powered beer
