♫ "Ran-do-olph Scott!!!" ♫

@Bruiser Brody:

That film's most important legacy is that Franco Zeffirelli sleazing onto Bruce Robinson led to Withnail and I's Uncle Monty.

I wish, I wish, I hadn't killed that fish.

"Would you leave us, please?""Jim.""Uh… would you leave us alone, please?""Oh. Certainly."

"Badly damaged person" is pretty much the impression I got from Ken Levine's blog posts about her:

Weren't the Klingons in the movies basically a hybrid of the TOS Klingons and Romulans?

"To know life, Otto, you have to fuck death…in the gall bladder!"

"What is this?"
"Schwartzwalder Kirschtorte."
"MMMMMMM!!!"
"Oh, do you like it? I'm not partial to desserts myself, but this is excellent."

But John Rambo wept about hippies spitting on Vietnam vets. It must be true!

I'm half-Irish, and my grandfather on my mother's side was an old-school boxing fan, Jack Dempsey and all that…and he loved Muhammad Ali. Dunno if he loved Ali for his boxing, or if there was more to it than that. My grandfather was well into Irish Republicanism, so I'm guessing he would've dug Ali's outspokenness too.

I only recently saw The Man Who Would Be King for the first time (I was prompted to check it out after Danny Peary's assertion in Alternate Oscars that it was the best film of 1975).

Weren't Plummer and von Sydow both in Dreamscape? I wonder if they originally auditioned for the same role…

No, he survived in that one (although the character he played died in the book). You might be getting mixed up with Robert Prosky,

Well, David Cronenberg and Sam Raimi are still making successful films (in Raimi's case, "successful" if not "good"), but that's probably because they branched out from horror. But it does seem like ages since we got any half-decent films from Dario Argento, John Carpenter, Wes Craven, Tobe Hooper, and George Romero.

Udo Kier and Arno Juerging are such a good double-act.

Isn't it depressing that Dracula: Dead and Loving It is, and almost certainly will always be, the last movie Mel Brooks ever directed? It's almost as sad as the fact that Sean Connery's last film is The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

Sometimes dead is better. Ayuh.
