Xander ,'The Killer In Me'
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.
Would you put No Way Out in this list?
Certainly. It's actually based on a classic film noir.
You don't see that kind of cast much anymore:
Right? How many badasses can you get in one movie? I liked Caruso in that film too. Fishburne had a way of gliding with both guns out like he was flying.
True enough, Laga. Although it can be amazing what gets through on the Travel Channel(Brent Bozell must not have it, is all I'm saying. Or that Catholic dude that hates everything. Of course, they probably don't love junkie lit as much as I do, either, so it's probably easier to hang out in the old bomb shelter all "La la la, I'm not listening," I DO know he is going to get letters this week, though. Because he called himself "paralyzed" and a "cripple" and my people? to put it bluntly? Are letter-writing fools.
This has been cited pretty frequently in my RSS feeds today. Eric Snider on the demise of Cinematical and the takeover by the Huffington Post.
Note: If you are a fan of Arianna Huffington, it appears that Snider does not share your views.
Scola linked to this in Boxed Set, but the multi-Oscar-winning person linked to American Gods is Robert Richardson, who won twice for cinematography. He'd be co-writing & directing it, probably for HBO. [link]
Oh, I so hope they don't mess up the casting on this.
In March, 200 of AOL's full-time employees were laid off in the United States, plus another 400 in India. In other news, apparently AOL used to have 400 employees in India.
Heh.
Thanks for the link, le nubian. Interesting (and very funny) reading.
Pretty awesome, Hecubus...that one is a personal highlight...it's fairly morally complicated.(Not especially representative, though. Although it's admirable how many different forms a Rockford story could take. "Quickie Nirvana" is my favorite, though. If I had to pick an intro ep to that show, it would be that one...it's so Cali-in-the-seventies. Or if you've read a lot of mysteries, the Tom Selleck Lance White episodes are really funny cause they kind of make our man Jim the Zeppo. If you don't know the conventions of mystery fiction(especially before everyone was a dark gritty antihero) they don't make much sense.
Consuela,
I thought it was funny too! I have started to go back and read his movie reviews now.
The site's managing editor, the captain of the team -- also quit. AOL had offered him a full-time position under the new structure, but he wouldn't take it. He didn't want to see all his writers get fired while he got a promotion. Plus, he's a movie guy. He knows that when space aliens invade, and a weaselly human swears allegiance to them in exchange for not being killed, the weaselly human always winds up getting killed anyway. Erik Davis is no dummy.
heh heh.
