I was never sure if Jackie Brown counted or not.

I can’t seem him using any of the TV main characters.

Stephen King retired once. Or at least he said he was taking a few years off. And, his output being what it is, no one could tell because he published a book every six months during that time.

Kevin McCarthy shows up in the 70's Invasion of the Body Snatchers

I liked all three Invasion of the Body Snatchers movies - each brings its own take. The 1956 has its Cold War paranoia (and the delicious uncertainty of not knowing whose side the movie is actually on). The 70s version has the whole “me generation”, selfish self-help group thing, plus the dense urban environment of…

He supported Trump

He’s also good in Redbelt, the Mamet film with Chiwetel Ejiofor.

The Purge answer is simple, to me:  just go steal a ton - a literal ton - of cash from a bank vault.  Probably you wouldn’t need to kill anyone - you might have to steal a tractor or something to smash your way in after hours.  Then you take it home and when the 24 hours is up, you still have the money.

On the Good Place podcast, he says that after that shirtless scene (for which he was nervous, and  he worked out like crazy even though he’s in good shape to start) was filmed, Kristen Bell gave him a Five Guys burger -with fries, they fill up the whole damn bag you know - and he “shame-ate the whole thing” right…

Pairesta, I know slightly more about the Doobie Brothers than you do, but... honestly , what you know is exactly enough, and from the right source material.

How about Root in Get Out?

I think it works (if that’s the word) to imply that the actor playing Pete (not Kelsey Grammer, but the fictional actor obviously) is a creep and a dirty old man. I mean - at no point in the scene is it implied that this is proper behavior.

I can’t hate his work in either the Toy Story movies or in Galaxy Quest.

I’m not saying I could do it (not saying I couldn’t, you all don’t know me) but if I did I would end it by catching the cap as it spun off.  Seriously, I watched a few of these and it seems like only half the stunt is done.

Just give a warning shout loud down the track - the members of Funkadelic and George Clinton will magically levitate out of the way and onto the train safely. And if you need it (you probably do) Clinton will help you steer away from any further potential collisions/philosophy problems.

someone better get me my Nero Wolfe movie sharpish

I’ll go further on Stephen Root: there are times when I, an actual fan of his, literally don’t recognize for sure that it’s him. It’s not that he’s a chameleon, he doesn’t stoop to prosthetics or differing looks for a role - he just is what he’s playing. Two good examples are Milton in Office Space and the blind guy…

Challenge of the day: read the above quote from Goldblum not with his voice in your head.  You can’t do it.

a handsome man at the airport (Nikesh Patel)

Hey, at least she’s leaving on her own, not exploding.
