Don't ever say that. Ever.

@ComradeQuestions:disqus I have dreamed of this moment.

I'll be in my bunk.
Someone will post this before me.

Then you have mercifully evaded recollections of Chow's bare ass, and the dialogue that goes along with Chow baring his ass.

I once thought that any Chow Yun-Fat film was worth it, somehow.
Then I saw Prison on Fire II.

If only you and I had been in the same theater, We would have had a moment.

I suspect that Harry Dean Stanton has been in every single movie made since the mid-50s. Really, the number of times I've been discussing a random 70s or 80s film, and added off the cuff "And I loved Harry Dean Stanton in that one," only to discover that in fact Harry Dean Stanton actually was in that movie though I…

I will admit that calling a fiction writer "a fraud" is unfair. Hey, Robert Heinlein never actually went into space…

Great news! Congratulations! So that explains why you didn't comment on the Untouchables tv show thread. Mystery solved.

I suppose it wouldn't help your mood to know that Jim Jones had progressive views about integration?
Didn't think so. Sorry.

Over a decade ago, when I was considering reading him (I know so many people who loved Red October), I asked an army colonel what he thought of Clancy, and how accurate his military details were. The colonel shook his head. There's a species of male, he told me, that never served in the military but which nevertheless…

That's half the battle.

West was very good in it, too*. Ah, what could have been.

Oh yes, the show with the bug-eyed guy from Fargo—yes, that's a great show.

Wait—WHAT was on TV this weekend?

The best guests of any show, bar none. I remember watching a handful of episodes in the 80s when they syndicated it—saw James Coburn, Brian Keith, Rip Torn, and an especially bravura Lee Marvin. All, of course, get gunned down at the end of the episodes that they were in, except for Coburn, who is locked in a stall…

Yes, they made Loki a lot more pathetic in the films. I'm referring to Loki as he appears in the comics, which for some reason they didn't bring to the screen. The comics spent decades convincing me that Loki was a certain type of villain, which the movie then cast aside, replacing him with a muddled character whose…

Having not liked him much as Loki, I did think he was perfectly cast as F. Scott—perfect American accent, plus nailed Fitzgerald's slightly naive glamorpuss charm in his brief scene. He was also good on Wallander. My problem with his Loki was that he was too human and vulnerable, and not nearly super-sinister enough…

"Why don't you take a stress pill, and think things over?"
Simultaneously a hilarious and a chilling line.

Was kind of hoping Will would ask about The Family Stone, so in the comments section we could all take a collective dump all over that film again.
