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.

Wasn't David Straitharn the abusive husband in Delores Claiborne, too?
Yes, he was. That flashback to him forcing his daughter to give him a hand job is one of the creepiest things I've seen on screen.

He was Edward R. Murrow. God, he rocked that part. And it's weird...I'm still not gonna remember his name, probably. But "Hey! It's Murrow!" is better than "Look. That Guy!" At least I hope he would think so. That movie could have been so ruined by some actor being all "Dig me, playing a legend." I missed Molly Dodd, but I still have a Molly Dodd story. Apparently the actor that played her brother(?) is really a Balmerite and is working on "The Wire" in some capacity or other. Anyway, he told Simon that on Molly Dodd, he used a heavy baltimore accent but then he got letters that were like "Is the brother retarded or something? He talks funny."

Art Crawl!!!
Molly Dodd's brother was played by John Glover (Lionel Luther on Smallville) and yes, he's from Maryland and used his native accent on Molly Dodd.

Because books.
Oh, John Glover is another good one! Although maybe he's past character actor status by now?

Cousin! Molly's cousin!
Hec and I just had this conversation: Molly Dodd was a Fandom Daddy Convention. You had Kendra's (Bianca Lawson) actual real-life dad (Richard Lawson, who played Detective Hawthorne, John Glover as her cousin, the dude who played the Tam's father as Fred, her ex-husband, and Vincent "The Motherfucking Man" Garber (SPY DADDY!) as Denny, her jerkwad ex-lover!
Man, show was good.
DVD NOW! Damn it.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I've dearly loved John Glover in a lot of stuff, but his performance in Batman and Robin is a serious stumbling block. Over-the-top camp can be done well (and sometimes—as is the case with Richard Roxburgh's Dracula—can be the lone saving grace of a crappy movie), but that sure wasn't.

Uhmm... It's apparently about the deadly cut throat world of ping pong tournaments.

I'm reminded of Bill Murray in Kingpin.
