I guess we can't begrudge the guy his opinion, but really, he seems to have picked up a vibe from the film that's lost on me - and from film audiences in general, I shouldn't wonder.

I was hoping to find Ross's hatchet-job of AFCW (or at least parts of it) online, but no such luck. So I just typed out the fucker from my copy of the book. I preface this by saying that I don't agree much at all with Ross's (oddly-offended) review:

Robert Ross really didn't like A Fish Called Wanda. He called it "a pretty standard heist comedy with a blown-up reputation" and spent almost the entire review criticising the film for all its anti-English jibes. Ross claimed that Wanda is inferior to Fierce Creatures (and Nuns on the Run, although he didn't go so far…

Wasn't there a clip of Kevin Sorbo shouting "DISAPPOINTED!" in a scene in Hercules, and people online were all, "Ha ha, the stupid actor read a stage direction out loud," when…it was almost certainly a mini-homage to Kevin Kline in A Fish Called Wanda?

I think Richard Burton maxed out at seven.

In the aborted 1937 film version of I, Claudius, Caligula was played by Welsh actor/playwright Emlyn Williams, who wrote the 1980 novel Headlong, which was loosely adapted into the 1991 movie King Ralph, which featured Peter O'Toole, who played Tiberius in the 1980 movie Caligula, and John Hurt, who played Caligula in…

From Pauline Kael's review of The Stunt Man:

Ebert's (negative) review of Dune bemoaned how dull and shabby the desert looked in the movie compared to how exotic the desert in Lawrence of Arabia looked.

Cliff Robertson beat Peter O'Toole, so… Peter Parker's mentor beat Supergirl's mentor?

I love how Louie's character was never compromised. Even though Louie was gradually given more dimensions, and was occasionally made sympathetic (and even though he demonstrated that he had some affection for the other characters, particularly Latka and Jim)…he never really stopped being a rat-bastard.

From Taxi: The Official Fan's Guide (1996):

The Grittiest American Hero? I love that guy!

"…my mind is aglow with whirling, transient nodes of thought careening through a cosmic vapor of invention… My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives!"

Love having the Taxi music on when I'm driving at night.

Yeah, that's the thing I remember most about this movie.

Railsbutt!

If he was unbearded and less chunky, his resemblance to Bowie would be more noticeable. Check out this picture from two decades ago:

I have seen Tobe Hooper's Night Terrors and can verify that, yes, it is terrible beyond belief.

*puts nerd hat on*

Is the movie going to reveal how Sebastian Shaw escaped death from Magneto, became a male prostitute in the New Orleans underworld, and yapped about Clay Shaw to Jim Garrison?
