brief appearance by Peter Stormare
Oh yeah. He was great. Except whenever someone mentions his name, my mind now defaults to the leg-in-woodchipper image with the resulting wiggins.
Well, you'd better not be thinking what I think you're thinking, because my answer is the same as always — no threesomes unless it's boy-boy-girl. Or Charlize Theron.

Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
apparently there has been some major tort reform too
Well, yeah ... wasn't it part and parcel of the assumption that fear had reached such proportions that you could imprison someone to prevent, as opposed to punish?

There comes a point that you have to stop letting Spielberg off the hook with the "last 10 minutes are a dream" excuse and accept that he's just a big softy (cf AI)
I haven't seen AI, but I thought at the time it was all a dream. And I don't see any reason it's not. It's not a justification -- it's an honest interpretation.

Some actors just get permanently marked by certain roles.
Michael Madsen's the same way. In Free Willy, I spent the whole movie waiting for his utterly harmless dad character to freak out, cut somebody's ear off, and pour gasoline all over them.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
Also, The Final Countdown in which a modern US Navy aircraft carrier gets sent to Hawaii on Dec 6, 1941. But I didn't see that one.
Love. That. Movie.
Kirk Douglas, Martin Sheen, Charles Durning, time-travel, moral dilemmas...what's not to like?
I have to admit one of my favorite time-travel movies is Timecop. The MMBS for "how it works" is annoying and hand-wavy, but I dug the realization in the last fifteen minutes that the entire movie is the second time through the time loop! There's, conceivably, an original timeline we never see where Ron Silver doesn't come back and kill Jean-Claude Van Damme's wife. I thought that was kinda cool.
Back to the Future 2 is great. Couldn't happen, according to its own internal logic, but lots of fun.
12 Monkeys, naturally. Just brilliant.
And, *cough* Millennium with Kris Kristofferson and Cheryl Ladd. Odd little movie, but fun.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!
Fair enough. and it might be, it's just I tend to be suspicious, where there's no evidence to suggest it, of the argument that the coda to films is a death dream of some sort.

I'm not so certain it's Michael Madsen's roles that have marked him, so much as his life off-camera.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

HA!
I can buy the dream-ending interpretation of MR, but it doesn't make the movie any better for me. It just makes the last 40 minutes of the film an even bigger waste of my time than I originally thought.

Oh, and I just remembered.... Not just any aircraft carrier, but the Nimitz, which is used for somewehat comic effect because in 1941, Chester Nimitz was still alive, and Charles Durning's character sort of scoffs at the idea of a carrier named after Nimitz.

And don't forget about the miscounted Deloreans....

Is Aimee around? Just saying that usually gives her a headache...
And that was more of an issue in III anyway.
