So Ian Stenlake Appreciation Week has now become a year round thing.
Trapped in Space. The Holiest of Grails for the unrelenting fan girl. This little gem of a movie is possibly the worst thing ever filmed, so bad it's not even a movie, nor is it a television show - it's a telemovie. And if that doesn't speak for itself I don't know what does.
Want to know what the films about? google it, cause I don't actually know. I do however know that it is Ian Stenlake's first role after his three second stint in The Godfather 3. He plays the Tug Medic (and isn't that the most awesome sounding title ever? No longer will he be Mike or Oscar. He's the Tug Medic), he's American (and sounds like Hugh Jackman, always a plus) and has two of the cheesiest lines ever written. And I love him, so so dearly, because this godawful film (which, incidentally stars Sigrid Thornton, who is also awesome) is epic beyond anything simply because it's such a failure.
So enjoy this tiny snippet of Pre-Oscar Ian. You can hardly see him, and I apologise for the quality of images, I think it adds to the atmosphere of epic failure though, don't you?
That's the Tug Medic on the background, breathing in some oxygen. Apparently they had none? And then pushing some awesome, futuristicy chamber open.
Tug Medic goes all Swain on us and checks the guys pulse and OMG "It's a miracle, this man's alive!"
So either I've not been paying attention, or medical procedures have changed since 1994, cause I've never seen Swaino zap anyone with a torch before.
"This man needs a hospital!"
The End.
