Krysta Now is a Real Wow.

Thank you for mentioning this. I had no idea.

I don't know if this is really relevant to the kind of laughter you're talking about, but I think there is something funny about both those speeches. They're clever and completely uncensored. In the mirror one especially I think you're supposed to laugh at some of the ethnic slurs and then feel uncomfortable about it.

There definitely were several movies that did that in the next year or so, until I think Scorsese signaled the end to it by having the towers fade into the new time-lapse skyline at the end of Gangs Of New York. Which makes me think of two things:

It's always funny to me that people (including myself) have a hard time remembering how much each actor did in Fight Club or for that matter Being John Malkovitch.  Seems like Norton & Malkovitch get forgotten in favor of Pitt & Cusack, even though there are long stretches where they're doing all the work (and it's…

Real poo for my sham wow.

Yeah the original comment could apply to almost everything he's been in. I'll throw shouts out to Manhunter & Long Kiss Goodnight but really just everything.

I thought that River's Edge got the 80s pretty well.  At least the rural-hippy-hangover part of it.

Aw man, I was hoping enough time had passed that I could read "Rosario Dawson" without hearing the "bzzzzzzzz" from _Trance_.  But no.

I assume you'd let in Anna Paquin once she's legal? Girl has to learn somewhere.

True, and what gives me the shivers watching it (or even just reading it) is you can feel how much the guy really loves the city. Much like with Naturelle, he has to get out his frustrations but he can't convince himself for more than a second that he doesn't love them.

I agree with your points, but for some reason hear them in Christian Bale's Patrick Bateman voice.

and he has three-quarters of a hand.

I'LL GIVE YOU SOMETHING TO BE NOT GAY ABOUT!

Good point. And here's my favorite:

*RIMSHOT!*

Seems like as good a place as any to promote "My Friend & Brother", a mismatched buddy detective series starring Mohinder and Desmond from _Lost_.

I actually enjoyed most of the film (always like some Richard Roxburgh) and re-watch it every few years. But I have to fast forward through the whole Venice thing, it is just so dunb (though I try to drop in for Mina's big moment).

Don't let them hurry you, Shane West, you have plenty of time. All the time in the world.

I don't remember the exact sequence of events, but does he maybe think she's outside the bubble?
