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.

Which Christopher Walken Character Would You Least Like To Be Trapped In A Room With?

The painfully shy Harry Nash from Who Am I This Time? Although it is one of my all-time favorite romantic comedies, and I love the relationship between Walken's Harry and Susan Sarandon's Helene, Harry Nash would drive me batf*ck within minutes.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Another nice-guy (if weird) Walken role: the father from Blast from the Past... so he hides his family for 35 years in a fallout shelter, but he does it out of love!

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I love him in that movie.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You need asterisks by Bloodrayne and The Ring 2. If Bloodrayne counts, then you're missing Blade(s) and Underworld(s).

Thanks!

I guess you can tell which kind of films I'm more likely to go to. If only the French made more horror movies....

Blade? Underworld (which I haven't seen but seems vaguely appropriate)?

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

How far back are you going? Are these only zombie flicks? There's a great Italian zombie horror-comedy movie from the 80s that I can't think of right now, but it'll come to me in a minute.
