Brewster McCloud - awesome!
Stripes, c'mon?

I'm gonna guess yes, but hey ZMF, that belongs on a T-shirt.Or at least written in blood soaked bubble letters on a wall at a clown school.Who said that originally, W.C. Fields, right?

I saw that steaming pile, for that same reason, that and I had heard Kaki King did the guitar playing.Yeah, he did look like Walsh! A "years sober. when's my next AA meeting? Joe Walsh"…that and a leprechaun.
btw, that scene where that kid discovers, and then just starts ripping on that acoustic is a pants pissing

Sammy Davis Jr., man, Sammy Davis Jr.

Yeah, but the original Oceans sucks, I'm thinkin' more The Great Escape, The Lavender Hill Mob, Kelly's Heroes, The Italian Job……
And yeah, Johnny Dangerously, didn't think of that.

Yeah, sorry Blackman, I agree…fucking terrible.Irony shouldn't come with such a wink.And having just seeing Halioween 2 the other night, he hasn't gotten any better….ten pounds of shit in a five pound sack.

Rube
I'm a sucker for any Goldberg style script where a half a dozen or more have to play their part to get it fucking done.
Much, much stronger in the 60's and 70's, btw.

I like the all around smarter ones, something like, Subotai, from 'Conan: The Barbarian'
"My god is stronger, he is the everlasting sky.Your god lives underneath him.

This should probably…
be posted below in the Slacker NCC piece.It says alot about that "Film Threat" era.I can't stop watching it, it never gets old.

Good call Waits, although I don't know about the Altman analogy.To the Tobias point above, Altman's style I think, is just so much stronger all around.Even early on, 'Images', Popeye', and yeah, even 'OC and Stiggs' (wow, forgot about that gem) Linklater's voice….I don't know? Hey, there was even a little Lumet in The

Yeah Lobo, agreed, I have come to that as well.I just remember seeing this when it came out, and I honestly had never seen anything quite like it before.I can't knock it.
I would also recommend to anyone who dug this to check out his 'It's Impossible to Learn to Plow by Reading Books', which I think is on the Criterion

Yeah, I really have not seen King Of the Hill since like three episodes in, and funny enough I still throw out "Don't play lawyer ball, son" - which I think is from the pilot?
Maybe I need to give it another shot.I've been sayin' that for years.

Yeah, i dig those first few films, but I would say all the charm and nuance in something like Slacker and Dazed was nowhere to be found even in Suburbia, just a couple years later.
Fast Food Nation underrated?No, I'm sorry, just bad.If he proved anything with that, it's that he's not Soderbergh..he could not elevat e

Oh, I'm gonna buddy, I'm gonna.

Capturing the Friedmans….
should be turned into a musical, or at the least a play…I'd go see that.Or The King Of Kong?…all 8 bit music, and it'd be great to know a wardrobe department had to make a Billy Mitchell wig and shirt.
I'm surprised Julie Taymor hasn't taken on Grizzly Man.Ridiculous.

Yeah…full circle.Nice job.

Yeah, that guy walking around callin' himself Robert DeNiro today…shit, I don't think of that guy as Robert DeNiro.Although, I did just see 'What Just Hppened' and I thought he was great, the best thing he's done in years.

Drive, He Said.

It wasn't…when Kaufman apologized for that on Letterman, and elsewhere, he was as serious as the cancer he would have….It's failure led to the Tony Clifton Story being axed.The film is god awful.The Stan Winston, Christopher Guest, Paul Bartel, Jerry Garcia, John Williams (great score) connections aside.
