Comments | The location of the ancestral treasure hoard of the Lupin family is written in a dictionary that had belonged to Napoleon Boneparte. Now Lupin III and crew must race rival thieves (and Zenegata, naturally), to the Dictionary, so the ancestral treasure can stay in the family, and out of the hands of pretenders (and away from the families of the people Lupin’s ancestors originally stole the stuff from a hundred-ish years ago). | ||||||||

Finally, the picks of the week. Blaine says, “I would recommend The Usual Suspects if you don’t already have a version of it.” Alex says, “I agree with Blaine, and if you already own The Usual Suspects I’d recommend getting Jin-Roh instead.”
Attack Of The 50 Foot Cheerleader looks promising. Well, promising to be exploitative and gratuitous.
It sounds like they were trying for ‘so-bad-it’s-good’ and only managed the first two words.
Has anyone here actually watched this?

I doubt it.
I couldn’t get more than 20 minutes or so into it when I tried to watch it as a horny teenager. That’s about all you need to know.
