True but she had a couple of great, big…scenes.

Yeah, it was really more of a '70s style thriller disguised as an action movie. I think that's what McQuarrie brought to it.

Right. It's basically like if Jerry Bruckheimer were starring in his own movies at this point.

WHAS is one of my favorite comedies ever. Still haven't seen the Netflix series. Really have no desire to. Not sure why, as I've heard good things about it. Just zero compulsion to watch.

I kinda think that adds to the surreal, psychedelic quality. Especially with it being filmed in Germany, so it has a vaguely European feel even though most of the people are American.

Roger! You're home! Let me fix you some sandwiches.

I always thought this line from On Deadly Ground seemed improvised by Thornton:
Homer Carlton: [about his machine gun] Well, what do you think? Stock in or out?
Mercenary: I don't think it's going to make much difference.
Homer Carlton: Well, I do, see. 'Cause when it's out I kinda feel like a pussy, you know what

I'm dying to see it and hear that score. Can't blame Lanois though, he really got screwed. Seems like that experience (and the way Miramax dumped Daddy and Them, which Thornton seemed to view as a retaliatory action for the bad blood created on ATRH) put Thornton off from directing almost permanently. The theatrical

He is in Jayne Mansfield's Car.

Daddy and Them is such a perfect depiction of a Southern family, that I'm really not sure it would play to anyone who's not part of a Southern family. Also the most insane cast I've ever seen: Andy Griffith, Jim Varney, John Prine, Walton Goggins, Kelly Preston, Ben Affleck, Brenda Blethyn, and Jamie Lee Curtis to

Ironically, Taxi Driver's most violent scene is at the end.

It is funny that most of what people talk about with that movie is the comedic moments, which are genuinely hilarious. But, man, it's a dark movie. The scene with Robert Duvall? Jesus Christ.

What's the back catalog of dickishness beyond the Q interview? I know several people who've met him while he was filming a movie and all reported positive experiences.

John Wick, dammit

At the time I remember some of the press saying that it came about as Raimi wanting to make his own Fargo.

I think he felt fucked over by Jian starting in with acting questions after they'd agreed to do the interview solely about music. Maybe it's unreasonable to ask that the questions stick to music, but, if that's the case, maybe don't agree to conduct the interview then?

I kinda loved it, though I was 12 and may not love it so much now. "There you go, sweet talkin me again!"

It absolutely did not need a sequel. The first movie had Zwigoff and the Coens; this one has Doug Ellin and Mark Waters. Jesus.

His Norm Macdonald interview is great too. Lots of fun stories.

Every interview I've seen with him he actually seems like a pretty cool dude. I think he felt kind of fucked over in that Q interview and was tired and decided to show the same amount of respect he thought he was shown by Ghomeshi.
