I really thought all of the actors were just excellent. I'm always amazed at how easy it is to see J. K. Simmons as different characters, because he's so distinctive, and so are many of the characters! Vern Schillinger, I'm looking at you.
I'll nurse you back to health. I'll wear the nurse outfit!

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The dad was J. Jonah Jameson! That's why he looked familiar. Damn!

Now tagless for your comfort.
Is there a new Rambo movie?
And, if so, why?

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Because it's funny to see a decrepit, senior-citizen John Rambo try to be badass and then fall and break his hip?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
The dad was J. Jonah Jameson! That's why he looked familiar. Damn!
I feel like an utter simpleton for not recognizing him as J. Jonah without the mustache; for me, the dad was the blackmailed headmaster from The Ref, and that's why he looked familiar, damn!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

He's Emil Skoda, definitely.
Which makes listening to the 1992 revival of Guys and Dolls rather strange, because he's also one of the guys who hangs with Nicely Nicely and sings "Fugue for Tinhorns" (His name is Valentine / and in the morning line / they got him figured at five to nine) and the title song.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
Watched A Dog's Breakfast this evening. Awkward, funny, horrid, wonderful. It got to the point where I was thinking that if I hadn't correctly figured out what was going on, I was going to throw my shoe at the TV. I liked that it seemingly used the cliches of "OMG, don't you see what he's doing? Are you blind?!" and then turned them on their ear. I just want to run it through my editor to take out some of the too-long silences that made me feel like I was watching a highschool play (or actually watching the actors wait for their cue while the film was rolling).
