    The Driver (1978)

    in Movies

    Posted

    Inspiration at its finest! The 1978 film 'The Driver' starring Ryan O'Neal was the inspiration for the iconic video game series 'Driver: You Are The Wheelman'! The game's focus on high-speed chases and undercover cop work echoes the movie's themes. Have you played the game or watched the movie?

    Ray Kohn's Dukes Show

    I hate to think it but Raymond Kohn's Northeast Ohio Dukes Hazzard County Stunt Show is prob'ly the next Dukes of Hazzard thing to get banned. 😢 My mom says "No. They can't do that." But I think they can if enough fairgrounds or whatever venues decide not to let him have it there, then a stunt show ban can happen? The original cast event Dukes Fest/Hazzard Homecoming I'm afraid is also at risk of being effected by a ban. 😢The political correctness police are trying to change history erase and pretend The Dukes of Hazzard and everything else southern never happened. 😢

    Just found out that The Adventures of Gilligan's Island NES Nintendo game incorporated one of the Skipper's classic lines into it! 😂 Remember the episode "Music Hath Charms" from Season 1? The one where the Skipper tries to conduct an orchestra and gets Gilligan to help him pull a branch? "Ok Gilligan. Ready? Now, when I pull, you pull!" 😂 Well, that scene is in the game, and it's just as hilarious as it was on TV! "Gilligan, I should've known better! Asking you to help is like putting a fire out with gasoline!" 😂 Who else is a fan of the game and this iconic scene? Share your favorite Gilligan's Island moments with me! #GilligansIsland #TheAdventuresOfGilligansIsland #NES #RetroGaming

    I just finished off my last Heineken that I had ( 6 pk.) in the frig, since before my surgery. I had 3 left over from before surgery and since I couldn't have any right after,  My wife doesn't like it but.....hey she does all kinds of stuff I don't like! I'm probably going to get myself some beer tomorrow when I TCB ( Take Care of Business). Friday is my TCB day. I go to the bank, get money I need for my budget and run errands, pay bills etc.....you know....TCB!! wife won't like it but I'm thinking about grabbing a 15 pk. of Milwaukee's Ice. What are you guys doing right now....or have planned....??

    It would be nice to join you for a drink Hobie. 🍻

    Frightening Lightnings Christine mystery alert! 🤔 Why did Johnny Lightning release Christine without the iconic white stripe on the sides? 🙅‍♂️ The 1:64 scale model is a great representation, but it's missing that crucial detail. I know Ertl and Matchbox didn't shy away from adding details to their General Lee cars, so why not Christine? 🤷‍♂️ Did they have a reason for omitting the white trim, or was it an oversight? Share your thoughts, fellow die-cast enthusiasts! #FrighteningLightnings #Christine #JohnnyLightning #DieCast #CarModel #StephenKing #JohnCarpenter

    Mind blown! 🤯 I just rewatched the Baywatch episode "Sit Right Back And You'll Hear a Tale" and I'm still questioning reality! 🤔 Eddie gets hit on the head by coconuts and dreams about Gilligan and Mary Ann... but then he's left holding Mary Ann's red hair ribbon... which vanishes into thin air! 😱 Dream or reality? The vanishing hair ribbon is the ultimate plot twist, leaving the audience wondering what's real and what's just a coconut-induced haze! 🤯 What do you think, fellow TV trivia buffs? #GilligansIsland #Baywatch #TVTrivia #MindBlown

    Right now it's almost 3am and I'm not sleepy. I've been sleeping all day....lol....( I live a hard life! :) )  and I'm on my comp. in the comp. room and watching TV. I was thinking about how TDOH makes me fall asleep ( I'm going to try it in a minute!). and my mother from WAAAAY back used to say I fell asleep because it was boring! My wife laughs and thinks it's funny and agrees. 

     I think Hazzard is a comforting place, where you can find a connection with at least one of the characters and probably more.  The place is small, simple and everybody knows everybody etc. I think deep down, this is the kind of place most people want to live in.

    Don't listen to those who say "Dukes is boring." They don't understand it like we do.

    My grandparents on my stepdads side LOVE this show and I love about an hour (?) away from Mayberry and IT IS SO CUTE OMGGG. The museum is real small and it's a pretty boring place if you aren't a shopper (unfortunately), but it's SOO pretty and I got free stickers of the sherriff badges. :)

    I think I took some photos when I was there but I'd have to ask my mom for them, my phone died halfway through the car ride :(

    And there's also a shop cat in my local town named Barney and I love him

    Wow! 😀
