I like to think God enjoys when judges die, because then they can talk shop when the judge gets to heaven.

Probably, yes.

Please tell me you have business cards that read "Dirtbike Milksteaks: Character Actor Advocate."

"I think Swigert gave me the clap."

I love the fact that, Bill Pullman jokes aside, everyone here is commenting on Paxton's work and the respect he earned for it, pretty much exclusively. No one is talking about his appearance, personal life, political stuff, tabloid nonsense, etc. If I was an actor, his is the type of career I would hope for.

Any basically decent dude who's thinking about becoming involved in a criminal conspiracy, and is trying to justify doing so on the basis that it would be both easy and victimless, should definitely watch this film before making that decision.

I've always been highly skeptical of people who buy into ghosts, psychics, etc. But yeah, there's always that nagging suspicion that maybe they know something I don't.

I suppose my comment was much more about Jon Lovitz than Carvey. In fact, I think the very scenario itself would have made a good SNL sketch. Imagine Phil Hartman and Kevin Nealon as a couple of studio suits trying to figure out how to cash in on the boundless charisma of "The Master Thespian."

You know what's sad? When you abandon a beloved artist, not because of anything they've done, but because you've simply become old.

I don't know what's crazier: The fact that the producers envisioned this particular script as a Dana Carvey/Jon Lovitz vehicle or the fact that there was ever a time when the need for a Dana Carvey/Jon Lovitz vehicle was seriously discussed by two Hollywood powerbrokers.

I was looking for Will to bring up Rambo too. Solid movie. At least we got something re: Jawbreaker.

Agree 100%. I just looked up the script and got a kick out of how the scene was originally intended to end:

I respect him because he's a good enough singer to have made it in any era of pop music.

I feel like I'd respect myself more if I read it first :)

HA - Shaw wanted to dig him up and throw stones at his corpse. Seems reasonable enough.

No worries. It's funny, because I was trying to make a joke, but the more I think about it, I realize I never made much of an effort and that's probably because the language didn't click immediately. Which is likely true for most people, especially when they're introduced to Shakespeare at a youngish age. So yeah,…

The thing is, I've never heard a Nirvana song that caused me to think "this is bad music." Quite the opposite in many cases, but they just didn't resonate with me. If I'd just flat out hated them, my citing them wouldn't fit the theme of this piece.

I was mostly being silly, but I guess I'd have to admit that there's some truth to what I said. Mostly because I've never really put in the time. I should probably do something about that one of these days.

Nirvana. The talent was obvious, but I could never get past the incessant negativity of their presentation.
