In the Year 2889 (1969)

My rating: 4/10

I watched this movie this afternoon, and I already can't remember most of what happened. I think there were some preppers who happened to be right in this one, and they bickered a bunch, and of course there were The Horrors? Stuff like that.

Paul Petersen left lying nude all by himself

Tom Cruise doesn’t like women. Neither does Miles Teller. Channing Tatum likes women. So does Ryan Gosling. Brad Pitt used to like women but doesn’t anymore. Leonardo Di Caprio only likes them occasionally. Bradley Cooper doesn’t, George Clooney does. Matt Damon doesn’t, Ben Affleck only does in that one scene in the J.Lo documentary. Marlon Brando didn’t, Montgomery Clift did. Paul Newman didn’t onscreen but did IRL. Cary Grant did, John Wayne definitely, definitely didn’t. Will Smith pretends like he doesn’t but I’m not convinced. Mark Wahlberg absolutely does not, but Daniel Day-Lewis does. So does Paul Mescal.  -- A Unified Theory of Glen Powell by Anne Helen Petersen

Poseidon (2006)

There are just enough moments in Poseidon that work to make you see the movie it could’ve been. Even then, there’d be no reason to watch it when the original The Poseidon Adventure is readily available. This movie has great special effects and a lame script full of dull characters you’ve seen a million times before.

On New Year’s Eve, the SS Poseidon capsizes after being hit by a huge, rogue wave. In the ballroom, a few of the survivors attempt to make their way to the bottom (now the top) of the ship, where they hope to be rescued.

This movie starts off on the wrong foot with the character who is essentially our protagonist: firefighter-turned-New York City Mayor Robert Ramsey (Kurt Russell). Ramsey is all upset when he walks into his room and sees his daughter Jennifer (Mike Vogel) and her boyfriend Christian (Mike Vogel) in an embrace. His ability to be a cliché is only eclipsed by douchebag gambler “Lucky” Larry (Kevin Dillon), who might as well walk onto the screen with a big “dead meat” sign hanging around his neck. We already have an “antagonist” in the form of the ship that’s upside down and slowly sinking. Why did writer Mark Protosevich feel the need to add all of these petty dramatic subplots and one-dimensional characters? I will be fair to Poseidon and say that some people’s deaths I didn’t see coming but for the most part, the passengers are such obvious types you know exactly what will happen to them the second they walk on-screen.

This is a remake of the 1972 film/an adaptation of the novel it was based on, but only loosely. Everyone we meet is new (which explains why none of them are interesting) and it’s only the concept of the ship being turned over that’s been retained. It feels like the opportunity to have some big, explosive visuals was the only reason this movie was made. To be fair, the special effects are some of the best 2006 had to offer. You get your money’s worth during the scenes where the ship gets flipped and everyone on the inside is sent flying through the air. There are also some good scenes of tension as the survivors desperately make their way through one obstacle after another. That said, some of those obstacles are ridiculous and would be insurmountable anywhere other than in a movie. There’s a particular scene where screws holding the cover to a large ventilation shaft have to be undone in record time to prevent everyone from drowning, and none of it is believable at all - not even for these artificial characters. Or maybe it would be believable in another movie, but here, it isn’t for the same reason that the original “The Poseidon Adventure” worked: The movie is too short. You never spend enough time with anyone to get to know them properly. When someone dies, it often feels rushed, or like the movie wishes you were more emotionally invested in them than you actually are.

Poseidon is not all bad but it’s forgettable. Even with the Academy Award-nominated special effects, you won’t be impressed because nowadays, it feels like we get movies like this one every other year: disaster flicks with plenty of vehicles/monuments/buildings destroyed that make you go “Ooh! Aah!” and then stop caring because the people in the middle of the action are afterthoughts. (February 3, 2023)

Remembering Vic Flick and two drummers for The Bee Gees

Here is my combined remembrance of three entertainers we lost:

Remembering Vic Flick 1937-2024

Guitarist Vic Flick has died at 87. He is forever known for being the guitarist on the legendary "James Bond Theme" by John Barry & Orchestra. How iconic is that guitar in the history of film, music and pop culture? The answer: very! There's a good documentary The Sound of 007 about the music of James Bond movies and he appears in too.

Flick circa 1960s

He played with a number of musicians including Dusty Springfield (that's him on "I Only Want to Be with You"), Tom Jones (that's him on "It's Not Unusual"), and The Bee Gees (that's him on "Spicks and Specks").

He also played guitar on The Beatles' song "Ringo's Theme (This Boy)" orchestrated by George Martin and featured in A Hard Days Night. Years later he played on Paul McCartney's 1977 album Thrillington done under the name Percy "Thrills" Thrillington. Kind of an unsung hero of Beatle collaborators!

Remembering Dennis Byron 1949-2024 and Colin "Smiley" Petersen 1946-2024

In a strange coincidence, two former drummers for The Bee Gees have both passed away this month: Dennis Byron at 75 and Colin "Smiley" Petersen at 78.

Petersen was the drummer for pop group from 1967-1969. That's him on "To Love Somebody"! Byron was their drummer from 1973 to 1981. That's him on their magnum opus Saturday Night Fever soundtrack!
