Damn good point. It bears repeating that the only speech that really needs protecting is the kind that tends to give offense. On a privately owned site, is speech "protected?" I really don't know, I'm far from a legal scholar. Trollish, hateful comments that are removed aren't missed by anybody, including me, so what

Cool. And what does that long-ass acronym stand for exactly?

The Story of O.

It's from Caligula, dude. With Malcolm McDowell, Peter O'Toole, John Gielgud, and of course Helen Mirren when she was about 35 and smoking hot. Written by Gore Vidal (who later wanted nothing to do with it, I heard) and produced and directed by Bob Guccione of Penthouse fame. So there's a bunch of Penthouse Playmates

Looks like a dick.

The creepiest instance of a baby coming out of a woman's cooch has got to be the head of Caligula's progeny popping out of Helen Mirren. While she's chained, spread-eagled, to a wall.

No shit! Learned something new. If I had known I would've enjoyed the movie that much more.

Question for you comic book cognoscenti
Was R'as Al-Ghul (or however you spell it) an actual character in the comic and/or graphic novel? I always thought he was newly created in the film.

Probably my all time favorite memory of this guy
Is him answering some jagoff personality about doing a movie for the money. Caine was forthright about it.

Well, Mr. Greene, Nathan R. enunciated it himself. It would appear it is indeed Ray-bin.

Ipcress file is great
But the name "Harry Palmer" brings out the adolescent maker of masturbation jokes in me.

Oh, it's RAY-bin
I always thought it was pronounced Ra-BEEN.

Wil Wheaton sucks. I easily imagine a grizzled older guy calling him on being a punk-ass brat and threatening to straighten him out.

I don't know about casting Donal Logue in a movie about badasses. Brendan Gleeson pulls it off, and Ray Winstone? Shit, I just watched 44 Inch Chest last night. Winstone fucking rules. ("Owns," some would say.)

I'd loooove to see Trejo and Olmos in a movie together.

I agree with the point made above. Denzel's a fine actor in my book, but nothing about him makes me really think, "Gotta admit, that guy's a badass."

Yeah, "Hey did you hear the one about the Mexican who. . . Mister Trejo! I mean Senor Trejo! I mean . . . hey, how many rednecks does it take to screw in a light bulb?"

Trejo!
Fucking TREJO!

This is my chance
To find out what Nathan Rabin looks like.

Terri Garr was hot.
