well, that makes me feel a bit queasy…

fair point.

Eddie Izzard used to come on stage after the intermission and casually mention that Prince Philip had just died. Pre-iphone, we had to believe him.

Actually Friggin Awesome Job, Internet.

you worked me there for a minute.

well, now you know how to put that right! To Netflix!

ok, let's go - rate his first 7 movies in order:

that's a fun movie, but it's not up to the standard of the first half-dozen. But yes, cool soundtrack.

re my comment downstream: wtf happened after Streets of Fire?
Or, less snarky: did you watch Drive and then call your lawyer?

honestly, Brewsters Millions wtf was that?

half-a-dozen seemed like a nice round number, and opinion is mixed on Streets of Fire. I like it, but I'd mark it a grade below the previous 6. But, boy the drop-off after that is scary…

oh Walter… your first 6 movies where 48 Hrs., Southern Comfort, Long Riders, Warriors, Driver and Hard Times - all in about 8 years. That's on the edge of the "Scorsese/Spielberg/Kubrick first 10 years" range. What the hell happened…

and that still only gets it a C. Ignatiy should get is resume up-to-date.

do tell - one of my favourite movies, and I hadn't heard about the production. Where did you read it?

TAKE THAT BACK *runs out of room, sobbing*

and yet all the dealers have huge bows, waiting to be stuck on the top of crippingly-overfinanced symbols of middle-class mediocrity.

I was wondering where you went…

ps just noticed your new avatar. jesus, that took a dark turn….

ugh
