T:S trailer is interesting. do you think that perhaps John Connor was sent forward to the future? Or possibly has amnesia?
This is not funny. This... this is a morality tale about the evils of sake.

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.

He asked what day and year it was. I found that odd as well.

Back to Walter Matthau...
I flipped on the TV last night after getting Matilda and Emmett to bed and The Taking of Pelham 1,2,3 was on. What a great cat and mouse, crime caper, gritty 70s movie. I got totally sucked in and had to watch it until the end.
It had a great last shot. It seemed like seventies movies were particularly strong with endings. They didn't just peter out, they gave you a bang at the end.

tiggy, thanks. I couldn't get the normal trailers to work so I d'led to itunes and the screen was tiny. I rewatched with a blurry but bigger screen and could tell it wasn't JC.
(So, the Worthington character was doubled by a Terminator?)

I added a bunch of 70s "neo-noir" to my queue from recommendations in Criminal -- that's what led to Charley Varrick. I know Pelham is somewhere in there as well. (I've seen it. but it was a very long time ago. And probably on commercial TV.)
The Taking of Pelham 1/2/3 is being remade.
Correction: it is being remade again.
