Bring Your Own Soundtrack
16 July 2023
Warning: Spoilers
The Writer's strike is now joined by the Actors.

Bob Iger CEO of Disney just got a 20+M$/yr 4-year contract and is driving the MAGA crowd crazy and waiting for writers and actors to start loosing their apartments or transitioning back into "real jobs".

Who doesn't 💖 Gilligan's Island?

If you are like me, you may read the title and expect some sort of television producer's effort to get "the gang" together since residuals really was not a thing then and make a few bucks to carry into the later years but its just so much worse than that. Well, these movies are meh at best, but this one is a real doozy and deserves all the previous words typed by Humans who chose to actually finish this thing and type with their Real Fingers these reviews.

I tried my best to grimace through not just the dialogue, but the OMG shark scene - by the way thank you "Batman" 1968 movie for our very first man vs shark onscreen movie scene - and hopefully see what Mary Ann & Ginger might look like after 15+yrs on the island when my brain screamed "ENOUGH! THE ONLY THING THAT WOULD SAVE THIS WOULD BE A NEW SCRIPT!" then, I had an idea ... play a LP while the thing plays!! I chose a fav 1976 Rock Album Ill avoid naming for copyright purposes and it was sorta fun to WATCH the movie and LISTEN to something engaging and audibly pleasant.

My experience went from 4 stars to 6 stars.

>>-SPOILERS BELOW-<<

Ok, ya, Globetrotters "crash" on the island, but actually getting to the island raised my "did they read the script before signing the contract?" alarm. I'm thinking they had a white talent agent from 1901 on this deal.

Ginger needs to share her Island Beauty Secrets - she looks younger and fresher in EVERY movie!

HOLY COW! Peter Baldwin directed?? David Ruprect?

This script is sad, horribly lousy, and thankfully will NEVER get a re-make much less a re-boot ... or will it once the strike ends?

A Must See

I waited too long to watch this docudrama. Excellent performances based on real life. If you like stories about people overcoming overwhelming situations this is a must see.

Is imagination dead in Hollywood?

Another rehashing of a old movie would ruin the Star Trek reboot. Real Trekkies want new stories, not regurgitated scripts.
