They're probably like that horde of prehistoric/alternate evolution people-eating insects that appeared out of nowhere in the female lead's hallway in A Sound of Thunder and yet didn't seem to be a danger at street level or in any other buildings .

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
My introduction to Tim Curry (not to Carol Burnett) came via the movie Annie. I'm sure I would have run into him eventually in something else; but meeting him first as a smirking roué rather than as, I don't know, Satan, makes for a much more accurate impression of his body of work. By contrast, I had no idea who Albert Finney was for at least another decade, because Daddy Warbucks isn't exactly a representative role.
My favorite "I did a crap movie! So what!" actor is still Michael Caine. He is also willing, nay, eager, to call his crap movies crap. Also, I sort of consider him a minor-league Gene Hackman -- not quite elevating everything he's in to good, but in a lot of things, a lot of which are good. Gene Hackman, however, would never resort to a Steven Seagal movie.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Mine would be Christopher Walken.

Er... The Poseidon Adventure? Granted, it wasn't a Seagal role, but still.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

In his autobiography he talks about how whichever Jaws paid for his swimming pool.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Hey. The Poseidon Adventure is an awesome crap movie. Do not mock my middle-60s idiotic disaster flicks! Lynda Barry's family re-enacts the movie with hand gestures every Thanksgiving!!
Truly, I think The Poseidon Adventure and The Towering Inferno are the only good disaster epics out there -- for all values of good that encompass vast acreage of cheese, has-been guest-stars, and melodrama.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
And then there's Samuel "Snakes on a Plane" L. Jackson.

...seriously? Albert Finney was Daddy Warbucks? I have to see this movie again.

I mean, I probably last saw Annie when I was ten, so I can be forgiven for not making the connection. But that's really weird.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
Michael Caine .... a Steven Seagal movie.
On Deadly Ground is a pretty good movie, and certainly a lot better than Jaws 3D or The Hand. I think Caine is mostly over his do-any-movie-for-the-money-irrespective-of-the-quality period.
