For those who don’t know, I have a question gimmick on the sidebar of the blog where you can write a question and I would attempt to use it as fodder for this blog. It used to be a thing that would fuel the old DTM-Cast audio program when I was still doing those, but now it just sits there… unloved and untouched.
Or so I thought.
Some time ago, I got a message from someone asking if I actually got around to sitting down to watch that Section 31 movie… and the answer would, of course, be no. In fact, I had not thought about that movie until this post came along. And so, I gave the question a little more thought and you want to know what popped up in my mind?
Leonard Part 6.
For those who don’t know, Leonard Part 6 is an old movie starring Bill Cosby as a retired CIA agent who has to save the world from an evil plot or something. It is generally considered to be one of the worst movies ever and, up until his recent indiscretions came to light, an otherwise huge blight on the career of Bill Cosby. Why I was thinking about Leonard Part 6 over a question about Section 31… I couldn’t even begin to tell you.
But then something else came to mind… a thought occurred that I didn’t think was possible, but when it did, I was both pleasantly surprised and horrified at the idea. The fact that I gave this thought consideration and didn’t immediately push it aside made this even more disturbing.
See, it just occurred to me that while I am in no hurry to watch Section 31 – which would require a subscription to Paramount+, which I do not have – I do have a mild curiosity regarding Leonard Part 6… dare I say, I’m actually curious to see how bad that movie really is. Never mind the fact that even during his beloved period – yeah, I know, such a thought is impossible to process these days – I was never the biggest Bill Cosby fan. I didn’t dislike the fellow; he just wasn’t my cup of Jello.
Jello, I’m so sorry.
So yes, what I’m trying to say here is…
I would rather watch Leonard Part 6 than Star Trek: Section 31.
Now if only I can find a cheap copy somewhere so that I don’t feel entirely dirty…
