Inevitably, my favorite Ellen Barkin performance is in Buckaroo Banzai.
I'm fairly certain I said no interruptions.

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
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.

Penny Priddy. Oh yeah.
There's a gender-switch comedy she's in.... Right! Switch Blake Edwards movie. I don't remember much about it. I doubt it was all that good. But I remember liking her performance in it very much.

I liked her performance better in The Big Easy, though Buckaroo Banzai is clearly the more awesome movie.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
But...Ian McShane is awesome.
Or are you afraid it'll become, "The Dark is Rising, Cocksucker"?

Art Crawl!!!
The rumor was that Christopher Eccleston was up for the part.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
"The Dark is Rising, Cocksucker"?
HAHAHAHA!!
I've had the DiR books forever without reading them (eyes the ever-growing to-read pile sadly) but if McShane's gonna be involved, I'm gonna have to move it to the top of the pile.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I thought Merriman was supposed to be quite old? White-haired and distinguished is what I am remembering, vaguely. I would have said that Lovejoy/Wossname was about twenty years too young for the part.
I mean, except inasmuch as "over forty" means "almost dead" in actor-speak.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
I always read it as more noble and distinguished than old, really. Like not Peter O'Toole older, but more like Sean Connery in First Knight, perhaps.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
He's got quite the craggy face. I think even Lovejoy could have passed for over fifty.
