Guy is, hands down, the best writer about movies out there.

Go watch The Insider. Now.

I loved Anderson's commentary on Life Aquatic where he said he learned how to do all the underwater effects from Cameron's Abyss commentary (it's subtitled commentary, not voice over).

Yes! Except for the deus ex plane at the end.

See also Frank and Okla' relationship in Thief.

Juliette Forrest: But what does "FOC" mean?

I think you are forgetting the whole Jaimie Fox met Jada Pinket at the beginning of the movie coincidence. And the week ending. Cut off the beginning and the end, and it was freaking great!

Tensile. Unless you're decorating an X-mas tree.

My problem with Waingro is not that he's a trigger happy psycho but that he's also a serial killer. His angle of death scene with the prostitute is chilling, but it leads to five minutes of Hanna and the dead girl's mother, which is five minutes too many in an otherwise excellent and terse movie.

You beat me by 8 hours. I wouldn't know Berkeley's name if not for the AV's Random Roles feature.

Also made clear in the movie that she was raised by the state in foster care and had a history of abuse.

Casting by Bonnie Timmermann. If there were an Oscar for casting, she'd have nailed it with this. And don't forget it also had Xander Berkeley (Todd from T2).

Same problem with Bad Boys. I want to see Clancy Brown pick his nose, not Martin Lawrence run his mouth.

I got a kick out of Mann's commentary where he explains Neil's affectation of wrapping Eady's nightstand water with a napkin because convicts always add little touches to the things they do!

Others might mention this below, but I'll say right now that Pacino's character was filmed doing blow throughout but Mann deleted the scenes. Pacino stated that the omission made his big ass scene seem awfully bizarre.

Aw! Mongo straight!

I'm still waiting for The Abyss bluray. It will probably be the last bluray I buy, especially considering Netflix wants to start 4k streaming.

Was it an anamorphic pizza?

I loved that NASA had a secret space program but only Mathew Mconahay could command it. Good thing the "ghost" gave him coordinates to the secret base. God, that movie was fucking retarded.

Who's playing at Gabe's this weekend? Is Gabe's still there?
