I'm watching The Limey right now. I am large with the Soderbergh love, and this movie is one of the reasons why.
A vague disclaimer is nobody's friend.

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.

Oh, MAN, I love that movie.
Even with the weird moment where I start to wonder if someone on the production knew my parents or something.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I need to get out more, I think. I haven't seen any of these movies.

I think my personal favorite scene is probably the one where Nicky Katt stands surrounded by extras, giving a speech about what a lame job being an extra is.

Heh. Some similarities to Terry Valentine?

Yes you do. The Limey is great. Terrance Stamp totally kicks ass in that movie.

It's the mention of my name as a could have been worse that makes me blink.

I was thinking of you when that line went by.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
P-Cow, the three movies that really re-set visual style in the 80s were (as you figured) Blade Runner, Road Warrior and (I think) Diva.
JZ and I saw Jacques Tati's Playtime last night at the Castro. It had a gorgeous, newly struck 70mm print.

70mm! It had many genuinely inspired bits, but at times it just felt too consciously structured with all its recurring visual jokes and allusions. Still, charming, and aside from Jackie Chan, Tati is one of the few directors who can really work with silent film vocabulary in contemporary movie.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
The question of which version can also be asked of Brazil. Did P-C watch the "happy ending" version, or the director's version?
Another Soldier fan here. Kurt gives a great performance--especially considering he made most of the movie with a broken foot.
