This actually came up decades ago when my friends and I took to casting our various tabletop RPG campaigns. The superhero me (from which I take my avatar) was cast as Kiefer Sutherland. It still probably works now, though he'd have to stop wearing his hairpiece.

Manager: I wish…

I recall the makeup guys gave her an eye-catching cold sore through the early part of this, but hey, surely Dad could have sprung for some Abreva…

Depends what else you've been seeing lately. After a long stretch of would-be poetic stuff that mishandles or ourtright rejects narrative, bland competence can be kind of refreshing.

Or at least you rely on it more. It's perfectly possible to have a poor sense of direction on both.

I think there are two components to human navigation: Visual and inertial. You identify where you are by visual cues, and by "feeling" which way you're turning and moving. Video games give you some of the former, depending on their degree of graphic detail, and none of the latter. People probably rely on one or the…

Hey! My first reply from the Stride Mothers! I've finally arrived…

And that Kid/Uncle Fester/spouse-of-Betty-Grable was a commando glider pilot in Burma in WWII. Now that's an eventful life.

At the time I first saw them, the bits in Temple of Doom with the raft and the mine car jumping the gap did bother me as crossing a sort of threshold of almost-plausibility. With time, I made a sort of peace with them as homages to the goofiness of the action serial genre.

Said question being a good premise for a low budget film in its own right…

I suspect this is an attempt to orchestrate a Snakes on a Plane style fan-driven cult film.
But given how many of the principle actors are getting a bit long-in-the-tooth to undertake such a thing, or are already dead, I don't see much hope for it. I guess costumes and makeup would allow for a lot of recasting, but…

Indeed, which might have required a wait of many months for such storms to be "in season". I also recall (it's been a couple years since I've seen the film) that his situation with the Warden was coming to a critical point at the time of his escape, so I could easily see him leaving the completed tunnel in place for…

The chart doesn't appear to subtract his time spent out of the cell during his stints in solitary (not to mention other potential pauses), and it's not at all clear to me that he escaped the moment he finished his tunnel. I'd always assumed that he had the tunnel completed some time before his actual escape, seeking…

I've always been a little puzzled by the focus on Say Anything as a romance. To me that aspect clearly takes a back seat to Diane's coming-of-age story — her realization that her hero father has feet of clay.

But that was the only way to distinguish it from his replica!

On more than one occasion in my working life when someone asked a question about something I had already explained in a presentation, I would respond with "The Komodo Dragon is the world's largest land reptile…"

I suffer from the weird affliction of "virtual vertigo" — I suffer from disquieting sensations of falling when watching people dangling from great heights, which are vastly more stomach wrenching than I experience when I'm actually in a high place myself. Clearly it has to do with the fact that when I'm climbing…

I remember being quite smitten with her at the time — bombshell-next-door gorgeous, and quite down-to-earth and charming in interviews (she had a nicely sisterly rapport with Martha Quinn, on whom I also nursed a major crush). I'm glad to hear she's still performing — I'll have to scout out some of that more recent…

Even the more complicated ones can usually be understood quickly by the appropriate professionals. Frauds go undetected because they aren't expected, and/or people will go to great lengths to not look a gift horse in the mouth.

Despite its wartime setting, Where Eagles Dare is much more an action movie than a war movie in its plot, pacing, and sensibilities (its Director was a former stuntman). And it has a pretty excellent climactic chase scene in its own right.
