  1. Hey hive mind. Trying to put together a list of films that fall into the Seven Samurai/Magnificent 7/Yojimbo mold of hired pros who come to the aid of regular people/villagers. I have the usual suspects (Bugs Life, 3 Amigos, Equalizer) but I'd love some more recommends. Thanks!

      How about we bring back the double feature where you see two 60 minute movies for one price that would be fun and different.

      That's great. Universal Home Video makes some good movies that most people never see now that video stores are no longer around.

      Raiders would never get made today in the current development system. The script would be destroyed by a dozen writers and idiotic notes. Or it would be rejected for being ludicrous and impossible to sell to an audience.

      My first job was typing the scripts for General Hospital into the TelePrompTer it was fun the show was so stupid but I was a very fast typist. This was before they had everything on a computer system we had to use a giant old fashioned typewriter more like a newspaper type-setting system it was enormous and very loud they put us in a small room two of us and we had to do the whole script in two hours. I hated it because the machine was so hard to use it printed the words in GIANT SIZE TYPE so...
