geez jimi. Carradine sounds like he was an asshole to boot.
But that's just my point! You she obeys! She obeys you! There's obeying going on right under my nose!

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.

I used to work with a fellow who was Carradine's body double for a few years. They'd met in a martial arts studio and the guy I knew looked eerily like Carradine. He had absolutely nothing good to say about the actor except that he was physically gifted in the arts.
You'd think that all that zen would have made him less of a dick. Apparently not.
Rumor has it that in the Chuck Norris movie "Lone Wolf McQuade", Carradine beat Barbara Hershey on screen and off and that, in a pivotal scene in the film, actually broke her jaw.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
Movies like Labyrinth, Willow, Legend, Last Unicorn, and Ladyhawke all rank high on my special list, because I fell in love with them as a kid, and I think that viewing them at that age imbued them with a warm fuzzy nostalgia as well as an extra dose of magic. Although Willow is a little too knowingly goofy to have that magic, I still enjoy the heck out of it, and own all of them on DVD.
I remember back in '98 I developed an insane hankering to see Labyrinth again, but no video store had them, nowhere could I find it. I pestered my friends and family for sightings of a copy. So notorious was my desire for this movie that I ended up with three copies of it when it finally came out on DVD in '00 or '01. One from my Mum, one from my college roommate, and one from my BF. I was quite scared to watch it, because obsessing and not-getting for two or three years can build up a lot of expectations!
I love that movie to itty bitty bits, even the scary grey tights and the fake baby.

Watching Live Free or Die Hard and remembering how adorable Justin Long is, and I realized that if they ever did a human Dark Crystal, JL would be Jen, because he is so a Gelfling.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
No.
For a long time, I was all, "I don't care about the changes; I want to see Sleestaks on the big screen."
But the crappy previews eventually wore down my resolve.
