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.
Dudes. Samantha Mathis *was* in "Pump Up the Volume" with Christian Slater. No need to invoke the bad cheese of "Broken Arrow" to connect these two.
Mathis was also on the Gillian Armstrong version of "Little Women" with Winona Ryder, who was in "Heathers" with Christian Slater. Sigh. I fucking love that version of "Little Women". Especially young Christian Bale as Laurie.
No need to invoke the bad cheese of "Broken Arrow" to connect these two.
I really liked it! Cause I like that sort of thing. There was that one line from the trailer, where one of the government guys was explaining, "We've got a broken arrow. It's what we call it when we lose a nuclear weapon." My brother and I always changed it to, "We've got a broken arrow. It's what we call it when we break...an arrow."
I also have a strong fondness for Kuffs. I recall having seen it multiple times. It must have been on HBO a lot or something.
Oh yeah. I love that version of Little Women too...and now that you mention it, I remember Mathis in it. She always seems to play the fay, (read: irritating to me) pretty one.
Just like in Mists of Avalon. Hated her in that. Whiny and cross. But pretty. Ugh.
Samantha Mathis and Sandra Bullock are close friends from working on the movie Thing Called Love where Samantha was the lead, and Sandra was the comic relief. I'm sure they've had a few conversations on their divergent career paths.
"We've got a broken arrow. It's what we call it when we break...an arrow."
P-C made me giggle.
But doesn't he have some hairy outline to finish by Tuesday?

The Thing Called Love
River Phoenix, Trisha Yearwood and Jimmie Dale Gilmore? How did I miss that one?
Maybe I ddin't...can't recall. Was it good?

It was pretty good. Not great by any means. Dylan McDermott too, playing the other guy, as he did so often.
eta: Oh shit, or was it Dermot Mulroney...
Just like in Mists of Avalon. Hated her in that. Whiny and cross. But pretty. Ugh.
But she was playing Guinevere, right? Guineveres are always simpering cows in movie versions. Well, I haven't seen the latest one with Keira Knightley. Hmm, and I kind of liked Cheri Lungi in Excalibur. OK, I take back what I said about Guineveres. Maybe it *is* Samantha Mathis after all.
I think her star (such as it was) fell when River Phoenix OD'd. Wasn't she with him the night he died?
I see what a terrific actor Joachim Phoenix grew into in the last decade, and I can't help wondering what his brother would have been like had he lived.
I'll bet agents cast for that specific role all the time...the other guy.
Also watched Sliding Doors tonight. I was in a romantic mood. And John Hannah can be my other guy any ol' time.
Chronicles of Riddick last night. PEE-yew-pee!
Guineveres are always simpering cows in movie versions.
Vanessa Redgrave? Helen Mirren?
