This scene alone is why I love Mandy

I incorrectly assumed Nic Cage fell off for a while this past decade or so. My gf proceeds to show me all of the crazy movies hes been doing since his Pop movie run and buddy was I wrong.

I think Neeson got a bad rap with that particular incident, although I can’t speak to him vouching for Spacey.

As things stand, you don’t have to be found guilty of a crime for employers to not want to work with you.

I liked the first season because it felt like they told half the cast that this show would be bonkers like Twin Peaks, so go nuts...but they told the other half of the cast that they were in a sober, middling family drama; it was fun to watch them bounce off each other.

I’m assuming it’s the other, others’ brother who was recast, I didn’t see him in the trailer, not that he had a big presence.

It’s a masterpiece that blossoms on second viewing.

What if we’re both the evil Doppelgänger?

I mean, a more accurate headline would be “Miller never would have made Mad Max 2 if not for Peter Weir’s advice”. It would be pretty weird if Miller was still getting pep talks from a guy who hasn’t made a movie in almost 15 years.

Well, if he’s taking advice from someone who has directed some pretty fantastic films (my favorite being Master and Commander: The Far Side Of The World), then I think it may have a chance of being good! I hope so, anyway. 

“And so it begins…”

That guy had the best agent...

Several people in the commentaries note that his being able to keep it together until he says “No parent should have to bury their child” adds a ton to the emotion.

As much as I love the LOTR films, and I do, for a lot of it you’re being asked to care about things that are by their nature abstract: magic rings, battles between imaginary kingdoms, supernatural evil. Theoden, when he’s mourning the loss of his son, brings it back down to something real and visceral, and my God did…

The only actor to appear in more than one of the five films in the three-way ties for most Oscar nominations and wins.

Oooh, look who’s being a contrarian ed--, you know, never mind. 

Mark Knopfler, for crying out loud! The Princess Bride! Local Hero!

Man, I love Denzel, but The Book of Eli is not a good movie.

I could not, in good conscience, ever recommend anyone watch “The Book of Eli”. It truly is a bad movie. Not “bad” in the sense of, you know, being badly made - clearly it had a not insignificant budget - but bad in the sense that it’s just badly written, from start to finish, so trite and self-important that it can’t…

I would also recommend Escape from New York (1981), Escape from LA (1996) and Doomsday (2008), which are just stupid fun. They have the dark humor that is constantly present in the Fallout universe, and there’s no way Fallout wasn’t inspired by John Carpenter.
