MONEYPENNY'S ALIVE????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He already drools around the clock!

I just know somewhere, in some comic book or novel or something, there is a horrible Short Round adventure just like this.

Best moment in the film. It could definitely be a laugher, but Curtis and Pleasance are really fucking good. And then Pleasance goes to the balcony—and all his fears are confirmed.

I always liked…TIED TO THIS FUCKING COUCH.

I like one of the making-of features where they point out that some cigarette smoke got in the frame of Halloween and you can also see Carpenter standing in the background (both in the same scene when Laurie sees Myers on the sidewalk and Annie doesn't believe her). Carpenter responds to it by saying: "What are you…

What he did on small budgets is pretty mind-boggling and proves that constraints definitely can heighten art. Shooting Halloween quick and on the cheap and he still managed to do such expensive looking camera work and tracking shots. We didn't see everything up close and that definitely works in the film's favor. The…

I've listened to a couple of his things on YouTube—the compilation of his scores along with the leftover stuff he's been doing, I suppose. It's good stuff. Puts me right there in the mood of watching one of his flicks.

Me too! Besides Halloween, it's my favorite of his pictures. Such a great mood…good lord, the opening credits sequence, the ghost story before that, DJ driving along and listening to the bumper voiceovers—they just don't make horror films like this anymore. And a lot of its charm comes from what's wrong with it along…

Totally agreed. Overplaying can be a wonderful thing if done correctly. Curry is fantastic. Day-Lewis can chew it up with amazing gusto. Nicholson, too, although sometimes he doesn't seem to know when to quit, like in The Departed, which is a misguided performance in what should have been a late-career resurgence kind…

Agreed. Part of the problem, too, I think is DeNiro himself. It's a good performance, but he's just not suited to these types of roles. Too urban, too ingrained, too recognizable—it looks like DeNiro in makeup.

Very true…it's hard to overplay and make it work. So so so hard, and only the best can really do it, otherwise it looks like trying to hard/desperation/flop sweat. You have to have a certain amount of charisma, too. It just can't be taught. And Oldman is a fucking master at it. Everyone else in the film is lost, even…

Ha ha! That's perfect…he's fantastic in this role.

This all sounds like so much pretentious shit—it's the kind of thing that gives Method actors a bad name. Guys like Bale, Day-Lewis—it seems to work for them, and Day-Lewis has given some of the greatest performances of all time, not to mention pioneers such as DeNiro, Pacino, Hoffman—there is no denying that a…

Fouts is a great comparison—that's just about perfect! I know the Chargers never quite put it all together, though, even though they made deep runs in the playoffs. It's just fun to watch a QB who is such a master on the field—all the way back to Marino for me. When Brees is finished, other than Rodgers, not sure who…

Saints fan here, too. It's been a glorious ride the last few years, but it is looking grim. Won't see the likes of Brees again, and even as bad as we are this year, there is always the potential of something exciting happening when he's behind center. Still, it was great beating the fucking Falcons this year. It's the…

The fact that that song is apparently in the "jizz" genre is still mind blowing to me. Holy fuck.

Was so funny to see Pagano yell "WHY'D YOU SNAP IT?" over and over. Why didn't he call a timeout? Well, I guess he didn't expect anyone to actually snap it! What a mess.

This quote never fails to make me just fucking laugh like a lunatic. Thanks! Any soccer mention also always makes me think of that Monty Python sketch and Eric Idle's grumpy play by play man: "…he makes no attempt to play the ball. He quite deliberately LETS OFF." Oh god, I'm laughing and have had too much coffee.
