I don't think any amount of behind-the-scenes silence would have gotten him accolades for that performance.

YES!!! THAT was the missing piece of his performance that I couldn't identify: The Mask! Thank you—we totally got Scarface from it, and some later "Scent of a Woman" Pacino, too, but we knew there was another very familiar element.

She's kind of been a dick about a lot of things lately. It's depressing; I used to really admire her and find her inspirational, but I'm starting to get very tired of hearing her.

That's what I'm asking!

Creating and handling it imbues it with his energy, according to the theory.

If you're genuinely joking, I give you an upvote.

The same people who once played the guitar on the MTV, maybe? :-)

Consent can only be given by an adult in possession of her or his faculties. A thirteen-year-old can give a twenty-five-year-old "consent," but it's still fucking rape because a thirteen-year-old is not legally capable of giving consent (especially not to an adult); a thirteen-year-old likely does not understand the…

It's sarcasm about his "Method" behavior on-set, as reported often on AV Club.

Uh…you sure as fuck can.

You have totally made me laugh with this one. Thank you.

Huh.

(I recall some controversy over Bond only banging one woman in the whole movie,…

It's still a common comedy trope, guaranteed laughs, in the UK.

It wasn't just the misfortune of following Moore, though that was an issue. It was also that Pierce Brosnan (who was at the time enormously popular as Remington Steele) was the overwhelming public choice for Bond, and indeed the only reason he didn't sign up then is because the Remington Steele people wouldn't let…

My husband and I are both fans of Dalton's Bond.

That's one of the saddest/worst things about this movie. Roger Moore was delightful in it, really fun to watch, but the movie was so bad that it just didn't matter.

Now that you mention it, yeah, I remember hearing that! They thought everyone would be desperate to follow the personality-devoid Tom Cody through more exciting adventures fighting rubber-wader-wearing villains, heh.

My brother and I love/hated Streets of Fire so much. We used to watch it all the time, and actually owned the soundtrack.

Lol, that always bugged me a little, too, as did "He's gonna recommend me to the Spirit in the Sky." As you said, the Holy Trinity…
