Man, I adore The Long Goodbye. Lost cats, Jim Bouton, nudist neighbors, Henry Gibson slapping around Sterling Hayden, that Coke bottle scene, shirtless young Arnold and Elliott Gould blowing the roof off the dump. I'll put Altman's '70s up there against any artist's greatest decade.

Of William Beaudine’s career-ending “real-life Wild West icon meets legendary fictional monster” films, Billy the Kid vs. Dracula outclasses Jesse James Meets Frankenstein’s Daughter by a good margin. Not that either one is any good, of course, but the former at least has John Carradine giving it his all. Also, the…

Fine singer though he is (I saw him do "When the Saints Go Marching In" with Pete Fountain at Jazz Fest once and he rather killed it) I consider it unlikely that he'll ever win a Grammy, so he may have to settle for a TOE…

Still my vote for best comeback ever in a movie.

Tornadoes are a bitch, man.

"Even in a HELL on Earth, she could send a man to HEAVEN!"

"When Bonnie goes to the store, she buys pleather. I buy the high-end, expensive stuff because when I get bound to the rack I wanna FEEL it!"

I like his performance in Anaconda, at least the part where his character was in a coma for most of the movie.

Dorks. They look like a couple of dorks.

I think about that a lot. I remember five bucks seeming like a fortune for a milkshake at the time. Now I'm dubious of a restaurant milkshake that costs much less.
