<insert diety here> was definitely looking out for us. I'll celebrate this weekend at <insert place of worship here> and with a month-long <insert label for religious adherence to diet, clothing, and activities>

Yeah, imagine living in a world where Wild Wild West was never made.

The Matrix Rap, which would have dominated the charts for months, would have changed the entire cultural impact of the films.

Wild Wild West was a good movie, IMO it was just ahead of its time.

It was a reprisal of a tv show from the ‘60s. Maybe after its time?

Jon Peters, one of the producers, had been trying to shoehorn a giant spider into a movie for quite some time. It wasn't that he thought it particularly needed to be in Wild, Wild West. He just wanted one, so he tried to get it written into every movie he was involved with until he finally succeeded. Hearing that really helped me understand the rest of that movie.

But then his song wouldn't have made any sense.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Releasing his song as the soundtrack of The Matrix? That would have been like the Wild West. The wicky wicky wild wild west.
