Michael Madsen narrates the Animal Precinct (New York) show on Animal Planet. I feel perversely comforted knowing that the narrator is going to take those animal neglecters out behind the building and smack them really hard.
YOU! paff DO NOT! paff TIE YOUR DOG TO A HOT RADIATOR! paff WISE UP YOU HEARTLESS TWIT! paff ... I got my eye on you from now on, buddy. Fido and I are real close friends. You mess with Fido, you answer to me.
Yes! Nutty and I are as one in this!
90s fashion--oh how I miss it. My very best kickass outfit was a pair of opaque black leggings, knee-high black leather boots, and a big black sweater (with small shoulder pads--I am broad-hipped and narrow shouldered. Small shoulder pads offset the pearish look for me) that just covered my tush. I was cute!
I will be so relieved when women's fashion once more allows them to look like they're affluent enough to stop wearing their baby sister's garments and can afford clothes of their own.
And Christian Bale? Rrrrowwr. Makes me forget I am a staid old married lady. PLus--he does, or has done, animal rescue, which makes me only more kindly disposed toward him.
I love all the nighttime attacks, from the first one to the two old guys on the dock, sacrificing the wife's Sunday roast for the reward, then getting the shit scared out of them when the shark took them up on the free dinner.
Oh, yeah. "Can we go home now?"
It's no Deep Blue Sea, but one of my guilty pleasures is Deep Rising. Famke Jensen, Kevin J. O'Connor, Treat Williams, Wes Studi, and Cliff Curtis . O'Connor's gobsmacked answer to "what was THAT?" "The Girl from Ipenema" and Williams' worldweary, exasperated, "NOW what?" get lots of quotage in our house.
I want my hoverboard, dammit!
I don't remember why I saw this a while ago, but: voila.
I haven't seen it in a long time, but Time After Time is a cheesily fun time travel movie. Mary Steenburgen does the flip side of her role in Back to the Future 3. Plus, David Warner and Malcom McDowell.
Sorry to come so late to the Time Travel Movies discussion (though perhaps I can go back and fix that...).
I can't believe nobody mentioned
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
Great movie. Great time travel. Will marry movie.
Strega found me a hoverboard! Strega found me a hoverboard!!
Hey, wait. ONE inch off the ground? Lawnmower engine? And its not even PINK!
I think Deep Rising may be one of the few movies Cliff Curtis has made in which he's played his own nationality/accent. That dude has played all over the world, and I think in several languages.
Deep Blue Sea wins points for putting lithe young things in wetsuits, but loses points for being as silly a movie about
genius malevolent sharks
as one could hope to avoid.
Is it just me, or are former child actors much more likely to be successful adult actors now than, say, 20 years ago? It's very strange, that the "my age" actors from when I was an adolescent are still acting and still my age.

How old are you? Would you say that Jodie Foster is too young and too old to be on either side of your divide? I can't remember who was a former child actor 20 years ago -- because I was young myself, and hadn't been paying attention.

Admittedly, for me it's 30 years ago. But successful child actors of my childhood who are still in the public eye --
Jodie Foster (thanks, ita!)
Brooke Shields
Rick(y) Schroeder (although he disappeared for many years)
Danny Bonaduce (ok, more a celebrity than an actor these days)
Movie about time travel that hasn't been mentioned:
Frequency.
It's a decent movie, though I was going to shoot myself if I had to watch that thing drop behind the radiator or whatever in slow-motion one. More. Time.
Awesome computer game with time travel fun:
Day of the Tentacle.
