I like the idea of dead people having a good laugh in the depths of their post-mortem depression. "Victims. Aren't we all?"

Yeah, I had to rewind to catch what he said. It took me a while to get used to his speaking, actually. The look was so great, I wanted him to be this silent killer. But the talking made him sound like this ordinary dude, which, well, he was.

"If you move, you're dead!"
"Well, I say I'm dead, and I move."

And then simple, pointed statements like "Morphine is bad. "

A friend of mine had "It can't rain all the time" as her e-mail signature for years, and I'm glad I can finally appreciate it.

One of the things I enjoyed most about the movie was Eric's sardonic sense of humor. I like the idea of dead people having a good laugh in the depths of their post-mortem depression. "Victims. Aren't we all?"

It's such a shame. Brandon Lee was so good in that, and the fact that he could pull off the sick humor showed he had some range to him. Plus there was something about his voice I really liked - he didn't talk like an "action" star.

He didn't, and that's what took some getting used to for me. I didn't like it at first. There was this cognitive dissonance between his look and his voice. I expected him to sound like Michael Wincott. I had to reconfigure my notion of the character: he wasn't this supernatural Angel of Death, he was just a rock star looking for revenge. There was something refreshing about that.

Pitchfork media says that an Ian Curtis bio-pic is in production. Rumor has it that Jude Law has been cast as Ian.

Nobody sounds like Michael Wincott. Between Strange Days, Dead Man and the Crow, he's managed three of the gnarliest (yet completely different) raspy voices I've ever heard this side of Tom Waits.

He looked really familiar, and I think I remembered him from Strange Days and Three Musketeers. But yeah, pretty gnarly voice.

Oh, and along with Alan Rickman one of the only redeeming features of Robin Hood: Prince of Lame.

"Why a spoon, brother?"

I really would have liked to have seen the movies Brandon would have made.

I get a little choked up thinking about it.

"Why a spoon, brother?"

"Because it will hurt more!"

"Because it will hurt more!"

Hee!

eta, and I totally agree. I'd love to have seen what else he could have done. He only had one other (not terribly good) movie, right? Which was a more straight-forward action movie.

To the imdb-mobile, awayyyyyyyy!!!
