C'mon, Alpha Dog….
him showing up in that steaming pile really made me laugh, and was far better than say…Danson showing up in Saving Private Ryan (another pile) or Danza showing up in Crash (huge steaming pile) I love a good cameo in a terrible film. And in the theater…shit, it's the collective laugh.

I got a text…
tellin' me to turn on the TV so I could watch a Jiffy Pop bag float thru the air.
And Sherlock Holmes is an action movie, I think we're in bad shape.

C'mon…
My Bodyguard?

Three's a charm.

Frusciante or do you mean Cornell
I actually really dug alot of this record. Really? Least essential? Have you listened to it? Not his strongest for sure, but at least a bit outside for him, it is both guitar and vocally daring. And least essential member? I have never been a big fan of that band, seen them live a few…

Random highlights….
Gutted by Dancer in the Dark, Capturing the Friedmans, The New World and There Will Be Blood in the theater.
Elliot Smith at The Metro in 2000.
TV, seeing The Office (UK) for the first time…totally floored me.
Seeing a fully restored The Hired Hand in all it's glory in the cinema in 2001.
Being blown…

Night Flight
My brother and I became obsessed with this show. probably around 83, 84. Everything was different after that.

Yeah, I dug Dead or Alive, better than the sequel. The opening montage was great.
Warren, good point. That said, The Wild Bunch is what '69, and we'd all agree so much more a clear vision as a film overall….from someone really wanting to tell a story, ya know? (Can't wait for the animated version, next year?…fuckin'…

Solid list, and Hell yes on The New World, but what about…
Che, really, I thought it was amazing for a biopic, for what's accomplished.
Hunger, also, as a true telling, great point of view. Solid.

Wolf, I'm in agreement with ya, although seeing that film, Audition, in the theater really was an experience. Just a mood set, and arc, I will never forget.
Warren, Ichi, great film, but you'd have to agree - so many layers that ultimately it crashes in on itself a bit, i mean less really is more isn't it? I just…

Yeah, Tropic Thunder and maybe Taps…..25 years?….and was Minority Report really that good? I'm jusk askin'. Morton and then left with what?

No Warren, you're dead on….just fucking around really. A complete mess of a film, such a great cast, SO miscast it's astounding, Brando, Brian Keith? I will say I always loved that cinematography and Huston's direction. Really interesting look to that film, the washed film stock, the lighting, the ridiculously long…

In the business, that narration is called a cop out.

Wait a minute buster…I love Reflections in a Golden Eye.

You guys remember smokin' a bowl and watching WiseGirls….
priceless.
