Fury Road

Slow down. Chew your food.

I was trying to put my finger on what he had and presence is the right word.

and as well-meaning and genuine characters like the swim coach from Ordinary People

Blood Simple is definitely his greatest role, but I also really enjoyed his small role in Raising Arizona as “machine shop ear-bender”, we’ve all known someone like that at work. I think I might have even been that guy on occasion.

Ugh, we lost a legendary “that guy” today. I love and excessively cite Ebert’s rule that any movie with M. Emmet Walsh or Harry Dean Stanton in it is worth seeing off their presence alone, even if brief.

In Ghostbusters 5, they’ll be contacting the CGI-puppeteered ghosts of all the original Ghostbusters, who were declared saints by Pope Portrait of Vigo the Reformed. His redemption backstory will bring you to tears, and then the rest of the 3 hour runtime will be all the characters crying over a museum tour of hologram…

An EPA bureaucrat with no charisma whatsoever, who if he’s known for anything it’s trying to shut down the guys who twice saved the city from destruction is somehow mayor 40 years later? How does that make any sense at all? Clearly just thrown in there so there can be one more character from the original doing…

Maverick.  Dial of Destiny.  Blade Runner 2049. 

And it sucked ass. 

Yep. Ghostbusters did not need to be a franchise. None of the characters had an arc that was screaming for resolution. There was no overarching villain to chase (until they tried to retrofit Ivo Shandor into that role, via the video game). The cartoon was probably the best way to expand the property, and even that…

Bustin' makes me feel... Nothing. 

just playing the hits. hey what does everyone think of the last jedi?

Sounds like another installment in a franchise that really didn’t need to be a franchise.

It’s crazy that her obituary made no mention of her heroism! And I can’t believe there’s a photo of her working on that day! You’re doing this woman’s memory a wonderful service.

Hey you should should really try to bitch about DEI in every comment you make it’s doing wonders for you.

If you include the 1967 Casino Royale spoof, every one of the British Intelligence agents portrayed in the film was code-named James Bond, including Joanna Pettet, with David Niven as the actual James Bond.

he’ll be the eighth actor to don the suit since the franchise began in 1962

Wow that’s such a valuable find!
