I watched Super Troopers night before last.
I wonder if Albert Finney has ever taken Brian Cox aside and asked him to be more mindful the gigs he takes. I can imagine him saying:
"I have Super Trooper fans approaching me pretending to be stoned! OK, maybe they're not pretending. And I have Johnny Knoxville fans coming up to me pretending to be retarded! OK, so I KNOW they're not pretending..."
That said, it's really a funny movie. I can't believe I've not seen it before now--especially after I saw Beerfest.
Super Troopers is HILARIOUS. It was totally not what I was expecting.
"Greetings, Starfighter!" Why don't I have either of those on dvd?
The Last Starfighter was one of the first DVDs I ever bought. I love that movie!
"Great. I'm a million miles away from home, and a gung-ho iguana tells me to relax!!"
Oh, and I own both the DVD and the CD for Victor/Victoria. Lesley-Anne Warren is a great dumb blonde, in the tradition of great dumb blondes such as Jean Hagen in Singin' in the Rain and Jean Harlow in Dinner at Eight.
"What are you...what the...WAIT! Lock the door." [pause in the action] "You two-timing son of a bitch! He's a WOMAN!!"
"There's nothing worse than an old queen with a head cold."
I know there were other people in those movies (Garner! Andrews! Karras! Rhys-Davies! O'Herlihy!), and yes, it was one of Warren's best-ever roles. But the Preston just calls me.
The Last Starfighter
was the first movie I ever saw in a packed theatre. My sister and I had to sit in the front row almost all the way to the left. I still get a crick in my neck thinking about it. And it was Totally Awesome!!!
Apparently they're making a movie version of the classic British series
The Persuaders.
IMDB has George Clooney and Hugh Grant rumoured to be playing Danny Wilde and Lord Brett Sinclair.
I'm thinking Matt Damon and Christian Bale as Danny and Lord Brett.
yahoo was reporting this morning that Brad Pitt pulled out the american remake of State of Play. no word yet on why...
I heard he wasn't happy with the script.
I love having a verbose obsessive on my flist.
Batman prestuff:
State of Play is in development hell due to the script I believe. (Something to do with a lack of writers to fix it..)
Bladerunner: The Final Final Final Yes Really Cut is on at my local cinema today. Big screen, digital projection.
