I also liked his brief bit in one of the Naked Gun movies… pretty similar character, in personality if not in plot role.

The bottom line is that the first movie was less ambitious in its aims, but delivered on what it was trying to do. The second movie tried to do more, and only hit it part of the time.

I remember hearing somewhere that he had problems with drug or alcohol addiction somewhere along the line. I don't know if it's true, but if so that would explain his career tanking. I can't remember any significant movie he's been in since "The Rock."

IJ4 is semi-tolerable for Karen Allen, as well as Cate Blanchett hamming it up. It's number 3 in my ranking of the four films, above ToD.

He still had that habit into the 90s. Even with the budget T2 could get, Cameron and Hurd still employed some shortcuts. For example, they didn't build the steel mill as a set - they actually located a real but defunct factory. And they cast twins to play the people the T1000 doubled: They found a pair of twins to…

Arby's Curly Fries are my number 1 fast food item. Also, their fish sandwiches… I wish they would have them available year round.

Screw authenticity. I'll take a cheese steak with mozzarella or provolone over a "real Philly cheesesteak" any day.

Lots of them do. Founders Brewing Company (Grand Rapids, MI) sponsors film showings in theaters across the state every fall in September and October. Goodrich theaters show one or two classic films every Sunday. The Michigan Theater / State Theater (two locations, same management) in Ann Arbor have a great selection…

Only four theaters in Michigan, three of which are in Metro Detroit. … oh, well.

That's nothing… there's one place in metro Detroit that'll be screening "It's a Wonderful Life" with Zuzu on hand to introduce the film. (Because all the rest of the cast is dead, I presume.)

That's their normal style, though. The discussions are good, even if the title is a tiny bit misleading.

I'm sure there are hundreds, if not thousands, of Will Smiths across the English-speaking world. Not all of them, of course, are going to draw crowds at the box office.

That barrier was broken with "US Marshalls", if not earlier.

Everything is finite - including social safety nets. Plus, it's instructive watching how you both try to move the goalposts in your responses to me.

Even better, he made people overlook the fact that his full name is William December Williams.

Yeah. I must be imagining all the services I've seen run through churches that help needy families. Soup kitchens, transportation assistance, clothing assistance, low-cost day cares… nope, all a figment of my imagination.

Exactly.

I have - my twin cousins. After the first couple months they started developing well and they are now about to start high school.

Before I clicked, i was wondering if this would be about Vidocq… I wasn't disappointed.
