The Breaking Bad movie certainly sounds like it's about Jesse.

Steve McQueen was born middle aged...

It's not the years, honey. It's the mileage.

He also died middle aged...

I've never seen EXPLORERS. Is there an inside joke about the "other kid"?

It's really great. I had never seen a minute of it until years after it was finished, then i devoured the boxed sets.

Currently watching Better Call Saul, which is a prequel of sorts, and it's great too.

It's hilarious that McQueen was playing a "teenager" in The Blob...with a receding hairline.

Lucky you, believe me. Explorers is shite, and I ought to know since my cousin obsessively watched that junk back then.

The "other kid" did not go on to "bigger things" like his better-known co-stars.

big grin

Every time I watch The Blob, I somehow keep expecting Steve to turn to her and say "You beat everything, you know that?!?"

TAGS fans will get it.

"Helen" is lucky ol' Steve didn't "tag" her like he did Ali MacGraw in The Getaway.

Can't imagine that scene from The Getaway ('72) being done today, or even a remake of The Blob, which would no doubt offend today's "don't fat shame fat beings" crowd.

I posted this on an earlier Trivia post, but Andy Griffith and Corsaut had an affair while working on THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW.

    How about a pilot not based on a film for a change? Or, how about a TV series about some writers who want to make an original film or TV series and keep getting Hollywood exec's trying to get them to reboot stuff? They are the good guys and the protagonists, well...
