Mal ,'War Stories'
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.
The Saint! The Saint was my childhood dream film.
?!?
I also liked the one where he was blind.
!?!
You realize these are two notorious flops, right? Universally held in low esteem. I'm afraid you've spent too much time in fandom. I'm going to send a team in for an extraction.
(Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is supposed to be very fun, though.)
That consideration vid for well-done. I was impressed, however, by the lack of Michael Caine.
Plus, the music they used had a great line, "It is anthropologically unfair..." I have to go find that song...
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is very fun.
I tried not to like The Saint, but I couldn't help myself. There are truly, truly painful bits but the Russians are terrific and Elizabeth Shue did a nice job of naive genius. Much as I don't want to like Val, see the above inability to help myself.

No, I know they were flops. But they were easily rentable from the store down the road so I watched them more often than most people.
That consideration vid was great. And such a nice nod for E there, Jessica!
I like The Saint too. As part of the universe, I thereby prove your "universally held in low esteem" statement to be logically false. Neener.

A sweeping categorical declaration, like a vague disclaimer, is nobody's friend. Touche, sir.
Heh. But when I was thirteen... Just think of Val as the template for my Great Fandom Loves to come.
I also like The Saint ! I have a special attachment to it, however, since we saw it on a UIL trip in high school.
Liked The Saint at the time, can't say the same about KKBB.
