I thought this comment was referring to Cannonball Run at first. Which, hey, wouldn't be such a bad choice. Needham just got an honorary Oscar!

Agreed — well, actually I haven't seen the remake — but my patented Vishnevetsky Prediction Model forecasts a 64% chance of Tony Scott.

Oh God. Oh Man. Oh God. Oh Man. Oh God. Oh Man. Oh God. Oh Man. Oh God. Oh Maaaaan.

Yeah, I was just explaining my choices, not trying to imply you had overlooked that particular semantic distinction.

Hey, don't forget What's Up Doc?!

"Vehicular action" implies at least one non-car movie. Dollars to dog biscuits says Ignatiy busts out some Tony Scott (probably Unstoppable, but could also be The Taking of Pelham 1-2-3, Top Gun or Days of Thunder).

I hadn't heard about that Steve Martin set. Sounds like a really good complement to Born Standing Up.

Especially if you're dating your dad!

Berlin's approach is fairly detached, but he's sympathetic to Marx and clearly considers him a genius. He tends to look at Marx as an outgrowth of what came before him, rather than judging him in hindsight based on the consequences of his writings, which allows him to engage critically with Marx's work rather than…

It's showing Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday this week, so you still have a few chances!

Yeah, it can be a commitment to get to certain theaters. I'm lucky enough to live within walking distance of the AFI, so obviously I couldn't pass this up.

I don't think you actually revealed any spoilers in this post.

Yeah, it's amazing how well-executed those mattes are. And, just as important, the incredible sets. Even on a big screen you have to look incredibly closely to see any seams.

K-11 is definitely the weakest entry in the venerable K franchise. I always much preferred the earlier entries like the action-packed K2 and the hilarious K-9. And the later K-19 wasn't too bad either. I still haven't gotten around to the spin-off TV series, K Street.

Yeah, Kathleen Byron is HAWT in that last sequence. It's when the movie's sexuality, which is bubbling beneath the surface for the entirety of the film, suddenly boils over into the form of a sexy female she-wolf.

D.C. Cab is a lot of dumb fun. I lived with a guy in college who seemed to watch it about once a week.

I've been reading Isaiah Berlin's fairly brief, but rather dense, study of Karl Marx (Karl Marx: His Life and Environment). It focuses mostly on the development of Marx's ideas, brilliantly placing them in the philosophical lineage (and not just Hegel), as well as the intellectual ferment of the times. Definitely a…

Watching Babo '73, I knew Mead looked familiar. I had to look at his IMDb page to figure out that I knew him from Coffee and Cigarettes, which I haven't seen in many years.

I like WR (in no small part because I watched it with a girl who was fairly sheltered - it blew her mind, and then she blew my nose, if you know what I mean*), but I would mostly agree with this. A lot of it is like that movie DeNiro takes Cybil Shepard to see in Taxi Driver.
