Crum! I can't find a site that is still showing this: The Awesome 'Secret' Behind the Music in Inception: [link]

Help, anyone? I loved the music and sound design and would love to see this.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I was reading the Billy West Random Roles at AVclub and he had this bit that I thought I should share:

You know the show Oz? Well, I was separated from my wife, and when I went home one time she said, "Have you seen Oz?" And I said, "No, I haven't." So she said, "Sit down." And she knew what was coming up, and she pointed, "Watch this guy, watch this motherfucker. Those are not acting choices. They are not—he's doing something very familiar and very real to him." You know, Schillinger, the worst guy in the prison. [J.K. Simmons voice.] "I've changed, Beecher." She said, "Look at this motherfucker, he's the real deal." And I started snickering, and I go, "I know him. That's the Yellow M&M."

When I get to see him, he's only doing voice acting, but believe it or not, he's taking me to school most of the time. Even though it seems like nothing much: [J.K. Simmons voice.] "Uh, Red…" It's the way you riff in the booth before you actually record anything.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

We got the Swag Wag (now definitively named Sopie) detailed when we got her. Those wood panels glowed, baby.

Tremors is a great film, loads of fun! I probably had the best time ever in a movie theater when my sister and I saw that film at the $2 bargain theater not too long after it came out. Everyone was yelling at the screen during the Graboid chase sequences--"Get going! Don't stop running! Get out of the way!!!" and really got into it.

Speaking of fun movies, TCM is now showing The Sting. So much fun, between the dialogue, the ensemble acting, the music, the costumes...oh, just everything. I really think this is one of the best films of the last 50 years.

Because books.

Is it Paul Newman day, Kathy? I thought I clicked past Hud earlier.

I think so. I noticed Hud in the listings, too.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

(Mostly) 80s Action movies rated for HoYay. Unsurprisingly Showdown in Little Tokyo seems to win. Although I haven't seen nearly as many of these as I thought I would have.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

How could that win when Tango & Cash is in contention? That movie made Top Gun look like Ozzie and Harriet in terms of homoeroticism!

I haven't seen Tango and Cash recently, but does one of the leads compliment the other one's penis? In a bathhouse?

I believe they both check out each other's dicks and have a conversation about same while showering together. In prison.
