A red firey background with metallic like text reading "The Naked Gun" the "UN" of gun is appears under the G at 90 degrees as the joke is they didn't leave enough space for it on the screen.

Looking for a film to watch for my (quite possibly short-lived) New Year’s resolution of watching at least one film a week, I stumbled upon the 2025 The Naked Gun with Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson.

Whilst it is a continuation/sequel to the Leslie Neilsen movies, I can’t say the humour was there – I don’t think I laughed once. I did spend quite a lot of the movie thinking “Who is the actor playing Sig Gustafson” (answer: Kevin Durand – who played Vasiliy Fet in the excellent TV series “The Strain“), I didn’t recognise Pamela Anderson at all (despite being a young teen in the 80s/90s when Baywatch/Barbed Wire was available: neither really interested me, but the she was plastered everyway) and did have a bit of a smile when Weird Al’s customary Naked Gun cameo was made and a little smile when Dave Bautista made his small cameo – but that was about it.

Net: Yahtzee’s Zero Punctuation’s reviews

December 30, 2008

Ben “Yahtzee” Croshaw has, for around the last year or so, been busy reviewing games under the “Zero Punctuation” monkier for The Escapist. Why that name? Well, he’s a Brit living in Oz and his video reviews have, erm, not a lot of punctuation in them. They are funny, not kid safe, good animation style and they give you a good insight into the games and and…. Meh – it’s nearly 3am in the morning and I just wanted to make a note of the URL so I didn’t have to ask ickle Google every time. It’s http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation. There. Job Done. That was nice and simple! 🙂 [And, yes, I just managed to stop myself writing this post in his manner of speaking: it was bad enough when I was reading a review of Mirrors Edge and I read it as he reviewed it]
