Seriously, they drove a fucking child out of town to live alone in an isolated cave!

An achievement almost certainly to never be exceeded.

(Farenheit - 32) x 5 / 9

I’ll take this opportunity to post one of my all-time favorite movie clips. Give ‘em hell, D-Day!

I’m honestly surprised LA Confidential doesn’t show up more on Saturday cable.  I consider it one of the best movies of the last 30 years.  It’s flawless.

It says a hell of a lot that Cat ended any chance of future live-action Seuss movies, given the potential dollars involved. You don’t see too many “never again” moments in Hollywood.

Thing is, I can’t take two hours of Carrey doing Carrey things with the possible exception of Ace Ventura, where he’s the butt of the joke.  He’s so much better when someone puts a little restraint on him.

I made a similar comment above - every new decision introduced to the story completely undercut the message of the original. The Whos were good people (??) with their priorities in order. They would not have bullied the young Grinch into living in a freaking cave. The mayor wouldn’t be some arrogant lifetime…

I’d replace his Man on the Moon performance with Eternal Sunshine. He was perfection in that movie. It let him be funny without mugging and captured his melancholy much more effectively than treacle like The Majestic.

I wouldn’t put it among the worst, but ultimately it’s just a really good action flick. Despite the movie’s best efforts I don’t get emotionally connected to any of the characters, other than maybe Hounsou’s.

Given the choice, I’ll take the seasick crocodile.

The funniest thing about The DaVinci Code is that Hanks solves multiple two thousand year-old mysteries that countless people have puzzled over seemingly on the fly, one after the next. At least Henry Jones spent a lifetime assembling clues about the Grail.

He’s safe. Grinch notwithstanding, he’s not going to make weird choices that tank a film. You’re not going to get anything transcendent, but he can make a movie look pretty and tell a cohesive story.

Romper Stomper was my intro to Crowe. That’s one fucked up movie.

He’s a complete and utter force in Confidential, and mesmerizing every time he’s on screen. I’m sure he got sick of working out and decided he wanted to drink pints with his mates but I miss that physicality.

I don’t know, it’s pretty damn bad. As the writeup notes, sexualizing the Whos was weird enough but having most of them be straight-up assholes ran completely counter to what the cartoon suggested about them as a society. Every new decision introduced in the movie was a total head-scratcher.

King Arthur: Legend of the Sword sounds like the movie in a movie from a Hollywood satire.

Who the hell looked at Mellencamp and thought that was the way to go??

That should say MICHELLE PFEIFFER all the way across the top.  Fit everyone else’s names wherever you can. Rowr.

I love John’s quote about that movie, that it’s not PG because he hasn’t lived a PG life. His whole attitude is just “so what??”
