Kind of . . . the way I remember it three-fourths of the chase in are on an Edinburgh street and then there's a sharp turn and they're in Glasgow right about Ewan MacGregor gets slammed into the car hood (the editing of that scene doesn't help clarify what I'm talking about at all, I know).

Agreed! And I would put Let Me In among the best Kurt Cobain tribute songs ever, with the added novelty of being one of (?) the only songs where the band all switched instruments.

My Mother has never seen Trainspotting and never will, but that didn't stop her from spending the better part of an afternoon in Glasgow trying to find the street where Rent and Spud get nabbed by the fuzz at the beginning.

Yea obviously but Empire is a movie with actual characterization and shading and Jedi is the movie where Han says to Leia, "Could you tell Luke is that who you could tell?!" like a kid stood up at prom. Then he says "sorry," they hug and the only reason she doesn't take that opportunity to tell him Luke's her brother

Yea! Imagine seeing that in 1980 and not even knowing what would happen next or how to feel about everything you'd just seen!

Prince hated Atmosphere, don't feel too bad.

I am happy to call that Emilia Clarke's fault, her performance in Terminator was a tedious part of a miserable experience! Great as she is on Game of Thrones (and some of those early bits with her are rough), this stuff is out of her wheelhouse and she should stick to the tacky right-to-die romcoms.

I like them throwing Mads' brother a bone and casting him as this season's new big baddie.

Toshiro Mifune turned down playing Obi-Wan Kenobi AND Darth Vader and may be the only actor ever who could do that and not be any less cool as a consequence.

Vader doesn't show up in Empire Strikes Back until about 20 minutes in, and when he does you're mostly seeing him through the eyes of the Imperial soldiers who work under him - he's calling them on tele-screens or holographically projecting himself into their ships to micromanage.

Yea, they had to have told the voice actor "Just do Richard Crenna in Rambo."
Crenna also had the perfect grasp of tone to make fun of himself in Hot Shots Part Deux. "She's CIA, that man's an extra." Tee hee!

You joke but I overheard this family at a restaurant the other night and their little boy was waaaaaaay more into BB-8 than Yoda. The original trilogy nerds are extinct, their fire has gone out of the universe.

I hear the raw Death Star materials hated working with Mads. The only thing creepier than him staring at you trying to impose his will is when he just smiles like your vast ignorance is the funniest thing in the world to him. In the movies/TV shows! In real life his dorkery is adorable, as the SkyOne clip where he

That's my third favorite detail about the scene. Viggo's wonderful weaponized dong.

Two things I love about that fight (which is filled with exceptional details):

They're kind of like lemmings?

Makes THE THIRD MAN even better!

I miss the days when comments got quoted on this site.

He just wants to do right by his buddy Carl Weathers.

We also call that, Alex Carnevale's review of THE NICE GUYS on thisrecording.com, "In Which We Search Desperately for the Real Villains."
