The Lawnmower Man (not available except on premium streaming services like Starz) is a 1992 science fiction horror film starring Jeff Fahey as Jobe Smith, an intellectually disabled gardener, and Pierce Brosnan as Dr. Lawrence "Larry" Angelo, a scientist who decides to experiment on him in an effort to give him greater intelligence. I had never seen this before, and it's a fine enough little time waster (to borrow a phrase from CJ), but I won't watch it again and am not interested in the sequels.

This sounds familiar. But I can't say I remember it.
ReplyDeleteI remember hearing about it when it came out but didn't see it back then.
Delete...I have plenty of time wasters too.
ReplyDeleteLotsa movies make good time wasters.
DeleteBoth the book and the movie are happy, little, time wasters.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read the book.
DeleteNot my cup of tea/ coffee! Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteSo many movies...
DeleteNope. Not for me!
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely dated and not one that would go on anybody's must-see list.
DeleteSounds like a similar premise to Charly with Cliff Robertson from long ago in the late 60s, I think. Did you ever see that?
ReplyDeleteYes! I liked the book better, but liked the movie, too, as I recall. This did remind me of that concept.
DeleteNot come across this film ...
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
It had a moment, but I don't hear about it anymore.
