Baywatch is on Hulu. There’s some HD Bleeth footage that is mind blowing.Way back then I watched an interview with her. She was sexually assaulted at a young age and didn't enjoy physical intimacy as an adult. That kind of turned me off to her because I felt bad.Teri Hatcher is by no means an unattractive woman, but I never quite understood the hype. And ordinarily she'd be right up my alley (hey-ooo!) type-wise.
Plus, Yasmine Bleeth was my number one anyway.
…so I hear.

Should have been Eddie Murphy

Just tried looking at 15 different places to get a DVD or Blu Ray of Dirty Work... No dice.
I hope the studio releases more copies... Or it just became a very expensive collectors item.

There are a handful on eBay. You could try your luck in an auction. The few that are “buy it now” are $50 and $70. The Amazon used listings are $60, $99, and $129. People are gross.

If it was good, they’d just show the title. They realize that it’s not good, so they add “Tom Hanks is…” to sweeten the pot for mediocre content.

Tom Hanks, though? I'm in.

After News of the World I think I've seen enough from Hanks this year.

Yeah, checks all the boxes for me, I'll watch

So it's the word "is" that you take umbrage with?If it was good, they’d just show the title. They realize that it’s not good, so they add “Tom Hanks is…” to sweeten the pot for mediocre content.

Putting him above the title on the poster in a prominent way means the work isn’t good enough to stand on its own.So it's the word "is" that you take umbrage with?If it was good, they’d just show the title.

But damn near every movie poster created in the last 30 years puts the actor names above the title. Or, if the studio doesn't feel the actor's have a marketable name, it's either the director, or producer, or studio itself. For example, Shang-Chi just has Marvel because that's the selling point, not the actor. You get Tom Hanks for a movie, you bet your sweet ass his name is above the title.Putting him above the title on the poster in a prominent way means the work isn’t good enough to stand on its own.So it's the word "is" that you take umbrage with?If it was good, they’d just show the title.

By the way, I don’t think that’s a good poster at all. But saying the movie is automatically bad because they advertise Tom Hanks above the title is silly.

Lol…actually the Forrest Gump poster uses the same phrasing, so idk maybe I’m full of it. But the lack of color contrast makes this more prominent, combined with Amblin’s account repeating it in the tweet and Apple TV’s general mediocre content…I’ll put my chips on it being a dud. But yes - I have a flimsy case.

Yeah I was looking up other Tom Hanks movie posters and it's nearly every movie going back to Big, even Saving Private Ryan. He's a star and a draw. You have to put his name front and center.

If you’re gone fiddle with space B movies from the 80’s, remake Space Raiders or nothing at all.
