I did not know that! Just shows that he was a much better novelist than he was a screenwriter - as "cinematic" as people say his novels are.

Oh yes! "What the fuck does "mano a mano" mean anyway?!"

You're a hundred percent correct and what I want to know now is why, since I haven't seen it since I was a teenager, did my brain alter it? Frig brain, stop self-censoring, you melon farmer!

I love that you did this.

I genuinely have nothing but fond affection for this film and yet there is no way I could recommend it to someone who has never seen it before for fear they would come back to me with "what the cock was that shit?" and for which I would have no real answer.

Brainsmasher has this excellent beat-down scene that's incredibly difficult to describe, yet not quite enough to sit through the rest of the film. Sorry. Welcome to limbo.

Because I am maniacally egotistical yet caring to a fault. I want to show everyone I know the line, while at the same time I'd hate to even inadvertantly ruin anyone's enjoyment of the film.

You tell me a Lundgren performance that's not pretty good? Even in the seriously uneven "Johnny Mnemonic" his crazy preacher is a standout.

Must be an easy job when the review of a film can just be paraphrased from a line in said film.

I would say it's more akin to "Hudson Hawk", in that it's an action film seen through a particular lens. Robert Englund's weird English villain and Ed O'Neil's "Bootie Time" cop spring to mind as odd characters that feel right at home in this film.

It's even better than he described. One thing he left out is that the alien injects you with cocaine in order to produce an overabundance of endorphins before sucking them out. Really can't get more 90's action film than that.

"Adventures of Ford Fairlane" was wonderfully weird - and really, given its lead, was way better than it had a right to be. Still, I haven't seen it for over 20 years and I doubt it's the kind of thing that improved with the passage of time.

Self-described superfan writer/actor Mark Gattis in fanservice TV shocker!

Not that anyone is likely to give a shit, but "Gnaw Their Tongues" isn't a metal project, but rather an experimental one and pretty good if you're into that sort of thing.

Totally agree.

r/minipainting is great.

No, that's "Mr. Majestyk". The movie's not that great, but the Elmore Leonard novel on which it's based is (surprise!) a decent read.

A little shrill, but even if that were true it's merely the price they pay for having some of the best adaptations put on screen (comic movies, Game of Thrones), tops series derived from existing material (Fargo, Hannibal) and excellent original works (True Detective, Mr Robot) - insert your favourites where…

"Wicked City" and "Legend of the Overfiend" was on that list, yeah?
