"Ekkkss —kwoooozze me , but Didn't we forget somebody here?!?!? … Grrrrrr" — Don McLean

It was money he was owed but that doesn't justify his acting koo-koo just due to his melancholia in a situation affecting other people … He could have given some to Badger for that matter & that would have made more sense than tossing it out the window … Of course, you never know — maybe that panhandler will turn his…

You should check out "the Friends of Eddie Coyle" — prob the best example besides taxi driver … & a superb film in any case

I'm going to assume this is intended ironically … When hell freezes over, that's what I say …

Yeah, RR never fails to get on my nerves somehow — just something about his personality — especially in that movie when he's bragging to Scorsese about how he "gets more p***y than Frank Sinatra" & all that stuff … Just something obnoxious about him! … And his recent songs are even way worse — all of that processed/…

Actually NO DIRECTION HOME is a pretty stupendous and well-executed document — & definitely the most important, cohesive video project anyone's ever done on Dylan , the fascinating Pennebaker films notwithstanding …

In agencies like FBI/ CIA/ DEA etc. , it's definitely "not cool" if it "turns out to be" your own brother-in-law … It makes people think something's wrong with you  — it seems too improbable to be a truly pure coincidence … To people in that culture it feels like "if the culprit is really the agent's close relative,…

Given that people who don't get cable & have to wait a day for the Amazon or whatever I-V tend to average way more intelligent since they're not glued to the boob tube all the time, ERGO it actually makes MORE sense to stick to the "newest first" discussions on Monday — that's what I say at least !!!

What you could take … PLUS Metalstorm: The Destruction of Jared Syn

Funny given the title of this inventory not to mention all of the additional Oz sequels written by others than Frank Baum — but maybe they were credited as such & thus not actually "ghostwritten", I can't recall …

Well of course one ought to have already been amply warned about Brando after his response to winning the Oscar for the actual Godfather film …

My observations —

Ultimately even the hits are great too — it's just that they got to be very very very overplayed as time progressed …

I am shocked … shocked … to find a crazed transsexual doing a weird spacy dance while holding an innocent girl captive at the bottom of a pit …

To me Forrest Gump is the very worst sort of film — hour after hour of revoltingly saccharine pandering to a mainstream suburban audience's worst prejudices …

I don't agree with the revisionist thinking on Disney today that films like this or Aladdin can even remotely compare with the classic work … I don't think they can compare as animation or on any other level of artistry … Personally I think they fall short even of second-tier classics like Alice in Wonderland … But…

There are two principles at work here …

While we're in this corner of the galaxy, why is it I have a sense that I once heard a sort of tribute song to Bradley Nowell that might fit the category here ? But it seems like a vague & nebulous recollection, so maybe I just hallucinated it somehow …

I guess not included because it's about a roadie not a bandmate … But still …

Or what about a situation like Tommy Lee Jones AND Benico del Toro in The Hunted?? … BOTH turn in quite excellent work — the only problem being that the plot, premise, screenplay and exposition are so completely over the top & non-credible and insane that it's impossible to take the film at all seriously … (But still…
