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've seen 18 of them, so I'm batting about .360. I'd highly recommend The Shadow and My Fellow Americans, though most of the rest are take-it-or-leave-it movies.

I liked Medicine Man. I own it and would rewatch it if I still have a VHS machine.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Who was The Girl in The Shadow? Penelope two-other-names something? She sucked, brutally. But I loved Alec Baldwin, and loved the entire look of the thing, and pretty much loved everything about it except her. Her big-ball-of-wretch in an otherwise fantastic movie is really only surpassed by Jim Carrey in A Series of Unfortunate Events. Someone ever invents a way to digitally erase a crap actor's face and voice and replace them with someone who actually would have done some honor to the part and the film, I'll be all over it just for those two movies.

Penelope Ann Wilson. They mock her further on in that list by saying, "Who let her carry a movie?" (re: The Handgun in Betty Lou's Bag)
She kept getting cast and kept being mediocre in so many 90s movies. I just came to presume that she had the most awesome blowjob skills in Hollywood.

Penelope Ann Miller.
I loved The Shadow but don't remember her being bad or anything.

Penelope Ann Miller.
Correct! Sorry.
but don't remember her being bad or anything.
No, she's almost competent in most things. She's not awful. She just adds nothing.

She wasn't bad in The Artist, but then she mostly just had to play exasperated.

Yeah, I didn't think she was bad, just not up to acting on the level of Baldwin, John Lone, and Ian McKellen.

I think you could take one of his stories and make a movie out of it. Have Cate Blanchette narrate over your opening describing the Endless and their place in space and time, and boom, you're good. Go into some Tarsem Singh visuals.
I WANT THAT. Yes. That is pretty much the only way I'd be okay with a movie of the Sandman, too.
We saw World's End while we were in London. It's delightful, but the weakest, comedy-wise, of the "Cornetto trilogy" movies. However, there is extra comedy if you're an old-school goth or know anything about late 80s/early 90s UK goth rock.
