I learned that somehow Yasmine Bleeth wasn't available to appear in this rogue's gallery of mid-90s TV movie stars.

Well we learned that Levar Burton doesn't make a good bad guy.
We learned he's in the  movie less than we thought he'd be but enough really
We learned Malcolm McDowell can't be in a movie unless he looks constantly confused and befuddled even he thinks he's winning
We learned that the best way to hide your database of information is by burying it it deep in your leg by your bone apparently. This seems counterproductive
We learned that it makes sense to send a husband and wife team back into the past damned well knowing they won't remember each other. huh?!
I learned that this might have been the best choice of Baldwins for the part if you really really had to pick a Baldwin. I mean think about it won't you?
I learned that there seems to be a piece of trivia that seems to believe that this might have been a pilot for a tv series? I need to follow up on that.

Fodder's just this guy, you know.

Much the same way a wereyorkie not only fails to be terrifying, but is in fact a lovable lycanthrope. (finished transformation is at :45 if you're not patient)

Wereyorkie's and plasmacharged pink slips. This is why I post in the forums.

I learned the guys used my favorite Malcolm McDowell line of 'Time is the fire in which we burn'. Thank you.
I learned that Malcolm is the father of every Baldwin boy there is. If he's also responsible for all the Arquettes, he should be tried for crimes against humanity.
I learned they kind of took the plot of the Terminator and made the Terminator the good guy, only there were three of them and they weren't terribly good at their jobs. I'm pretty sure if LeVar and company hadn't tried to stop them, they'd have failed anyway. Actually I'm not sure what they succeeded in either. The film was kind of vague, like most of Daniel's expressions.
I learned Daniel is the most potato-shaped Baldwin (at least when the film was made)
I learned I'm shocked they haven't done another Daniel Baldwin film before now. I thought he was Joe Estevez like in the  number of terrible films hes done.
I learned a Colin Farrell like henchmen will not trigger any Colin Farrel like jokes. And he was familiar because he was in Deep Rising, which I actually liked.
I learned they made this film 10 times slower than it had to be. Seriously, Trash and company had already depopulated half the Bronx by the time Baldwin picks up one of his fellow not-a-mutants.
I learned Karl Madlen's clone does not use the Karl Malden name. And quit pulling my leg. It was Karl. Had to be.
I learned this movie wasn't inherently enjoyable in any way. It can only be watched while being riffed.

My favorite as well, though it's lifted from American poet, Delmore Schwartz.
