Movie #2611: The Impossible Kid (1982, Eddie Nicart)

They say this is the very best Philippine midget secret agent picture (star Weng Weng made a bunch of them). I gotta admit it is rather goofy. But, maybe my tolerance for goofy is running low. A midget secret agent with a plot that must have been written by 6 year olds might be funny for a few minutes but 90 minutes of this stuff can give you a migraine.

TV episode #124: The Simpsons  - I, (Annoyed Grunt) bot (2004)
According to the wikipedia this is The Simpsons version of The Twilight Zone's "Steel". Not really. Homer enters a bot war TV episode by hiding inside a mail box.

Movie #2557: Hickey & Boggs (1972, Robert Culp)

Another one where the screenwriter may be more important than the director. It was Walter Hill who wrote this three years before he made his debut as a director (Hard Times). And it is quite a complicated plot with clues dropping from time to time until you get to see the whole picture by the end (I was still scratching my head).
