Is that the one with Ewan McGreggor? I really liked that one!
Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
No! Maybe I thought it was. It was a dumb Stephen King movie with Brad Dourif as highlight.
I'm watching Bad Boys II now, and there are not words to describe how much I love this franchise. No, it's not quality cinema. But they can do power shots like nobody's business. Hell, that was half my delight with Hot Fuzz.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I said, I love Graveyard Shift! but then I realized I was thinking of Night Shift.
Bad Boys II
I wasn't totally sold on it until they started throwing corpses out of the truck to slow down their pursuers.

At least it was the bad guys doing it...

It was Nightwatch with Patricia Arquette that I was thinking of. Great flick. Suspense and thrills with a touch of gore.
I think what I loved most about that movie was how at the end the main character and his girl just let it all out with the horror and the fear. I like scary/creepy/gory movies where it isn't a Given that 99.7% of the characters will die. This one had a nice balance of the creeps and the actors belting out the fear (where I feel other top-billed actors are afraid to scream too much lest they scratch their vocal chords and make frown/laugh lines).
Nothing freaked me out more than the two trees outside the hospital wrapped in black plastic. I've always wondered if that was a happy accident (they were working with what was on site) or if that was set design.

Compassionately intolerant
watching Bad Boys II
Henry Rollins. My favorite stealth cameo. Always the SWAT commander, never the romantic lead.

I didn't even notice him.
I also watched Mulholland Drive today. Bleh.

I love Henry Rollins in the Jackass movie too.

The Fassbinder miniseries?

yes... there are big gaps in my movie knowledge. I knew Fassbinder was a fmaous director but that was it. I barely recall watching some series DVD with the commentary on and someone saying they modeled something after Berlin Alexanderplatz and thinking, "hmm, I've heard of that but know nothing about it. I should add it to my queue."
So... do they continue to treat the murdering rapist like he has some redeeming value?
