True Lies (1994)
Harry Tasker (Schwarzenegger) leads a life of double identity. To the U.S. government, he's a top secret spy for the agency Omega Sector, but to his wife Helen (Jamie Lee Curtis), he's just a computer salesman. Harry's demanding schedule, however, has driven Helen to the point of infidelity. She's begun an affair with a used car salesman (Bill Paxton). Staging an elaborate ruse with their high-tech toys, Harry and his sidekick Gib (Tom Arnold) convince Helen that her lover is really a secret agent and that she must help him by posing as a stripper. Current world events catch up with them, however, when a renegade terrorist (Art Malik) with a serious grudge acquires four nuclear warheads, which he plans to lob at the U.S. one state at a time. Helen is kidnapped, Harry is captured, and suddenly their marriage has become a wee bit more exciting. Performances are solid, especially from Tom Arnold, who plays the part of loquacious techie sidekick with aplomb, and Curtis, who gamely performs a bumbling striptease.

Free Enterprise (1998).
Mark (McCormack), publisher of "Geek" magazine and struggling screenwriter (his latest work, "Bradykiller," about a serial killer who stalks the women of the venerable television sitcom, has recently been rejected), faces the impending doom of his 30th birthday with gloomy abandon. His one solace is the midnight screening on the eve of his fourth decade of "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan." His partner in geekdom is Robert (Weigel), also 29, a slacker film editor who would rather hawk his computer than part with his laserdisc collection. Together, they share a mutual love of corny and classic films, comic books, and all things classic Trek. Having each had a childhood visitation by the leading actor of the series, imagine their delight when discovering William Shatner (at his hammiest best), perusing the porn section of a bookstore. Far from being famed Captain James T. Kirk, however, Mark and Robert discover that real-life Shatner is not the self-assured, fiery personality he displays on the bridge of the starship Enterprise; rather, Bill is a moderately awkward, often soused, aging actor who has few answers. In fact, his interest is piqued by the younger men's professions, for he has a pet project in need of a home: a 6-hour, one-man, rap musical of William Shakespeare's "Julius Caeser," starring himself (and his backup band: the xylophonist and the ....o player from his stint on the 1992 MTV Music Awards) and either Sharon Stone or Heather Locklear in the role of Calpurnia. Pop culture and science-fiction (not all of them Trek) references abound, geek culture gains some measure of chic, and two young men discover, at long last, how to interface with members of the opposite sex. Although charming on many levels, "Free Enterprise's" obscure sci-fi jokes (albeit quite comical) will sail over the head of anyone who is not even a moderate fan. William Shatner's self-parody, however, is not to be missed. First time director Robert Meyer Burnett took home a "New Directions Award" from the 1998 AFI/L.A. Film Festival for his effort, while co-scriptor Mark A. Altman shared honors for the "Best New Writer" award.

Southpark went on the air, and it was silly fun, few episodes back then were a polemic on the creators politics.

1921 discovery of insulin
.Medical researcher Frederick Banting and research assistant Charles Best studied the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas of dogs at the University of Toronto. Banting believed that he could find a cure for the "sugar disease" (diabetes) in the pancreas. In 1921, they isolated insulin and successfully tested in on diabetic dogs, lowering the dogs' blood sugar level.

The Lawnmower Man (1992).
Despite a setback involving a deranged chimpanzee and doubts regarding the military implications of his research, Dr. Lawrence Angelo (Brosnan) believes his project, which combines drug therapy with virtual reality-aided instruction, to be valid. An enforced leave of absence, however, can't keep him from his work, because right in his own front yard is a perfect test case: the dim-witted young man who mows the lawn (a blond-wigged Fahey). This uneven work benefits from groundbreaking computer graphic animation sequences courtesy of Angel Studios. Though ostensibly adapted from a Steven King short story, the author sued to keep his name from the film project because of its complete dissimilarity to the written work. A director's cut adds 32 minutes of footage.

Found this 98' Zeke show at RKcndy that I was at. Rkcndy was an awesome all ages venue for many years pity it had to go away. Zeke never went away, infact they are doing better than ever, though they need to swing down south so I can see them again. Even after I moved to Montana they played there it seems at least a couple times each year. Hardest working sonofa's around
