Jumjax™ Database: New Additions
Keep grindin'.
- Films and Television Shows That Utilize Jumping Jacks
- Films and Television Shows That Do Not Utilize Jumping Jacks
The newly added titles are as follows:
Tough Guys Don't Dance (1987) - 110 minutes
Tough guys may not dance, but I imagine most of them have a regimen of activities to keep themselves physically fit, which, if they have any brain between their ears, would include the best exercise for all essential muscle groups--the jumping jack. A lack of tough guys in this one in my humble opinion. Plenty of dancing all over the place though. 1/10. Not recommended.
Delgo (2008) - 89 minutes
Some animated hijinks but no animated jumjax™. Delgo (2008) has some interesting world building pieces, but lacks in the full puzzle being put together. If I could have seen the first draft I think I really could have helped them out. How do these warriors of the Lockni and Nohrin (and Ando) stay prepared for battle? Why don't we see Delgo himself training to do all the acrobatics he does? Perhaps a few jumping jacks to limber up first? You know what's next. 1/10. Not recommended.
Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019) - 131
I hardly think Godzilla being a white blood cell of the living Earth makes a lick of sense, but even if you are willing to suspend that disbelief to watch the movie, it never gets explored further. It would be like if during Osmosis Jones (2001) they told you he was a white blood cell and then totally ignored that he was a white blood cell fighting viruses with the help of his crime fighting partner Drix. They should have mentioned more that Ghidorah was a virus that Earth caught and made it sick. And that humans aren't so much a viral infection, but more like bacteria, of which your body needs a healthy balance working in harmony, especially for gastro-intestinal health, but with too many bacteria in the wrong places, things can get dangerous. That's why the white blood cells are so important! At the very least, show us how Godzilla trains to stay fit enough to fight all these monsters. 1/10. Not recommended.
Yojimbo (1961) - 110
Another samurai flick with strong characters but lacking in training sequences. The dueling crime bosses could easily have had their hired swords doing jumping jacks to stay fit for the coming battle. 1/10. Not recommended.
Every movie watched is another step closer to a complete database.
xxoo, always yours
