I'm another fan of Dead Again. Such a stylish noir suspense with a really beautiful love story in there as well.
And one of the best cameos in Robin Williams.
I know, world in peril and we have to work together. This is my last office romance, I'll tell you that.

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.

There's a line that Robin Williams had in Dead Again that has always stuck with me. When he notices Branaugh chewing on his pen, he grills him about being a smoker. When Branaugh says he's quit, Williams responds to the effect of "No you haven't. Look, you're either a smoker or you're not. Pick one and be that."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I loved Dead Again when I saw it many years ago. I haven't seen it since I was a kid, though.

The kiss after Branaugh puts the ankle braclet on Thompson was a thing of beauty.
And so was Andy Garcia (the young version).
I recently rewatched the awful Jennifer 8 for the pretty.

Charlie Jane Anders
My first time seeing her was at a Writers with Drinks thing at the Make-Out room. P-C, were you by chance there? It was to see Stephanie (Keckler) read from a recap. We had dinner first across the street...

I wasn't there, but I met Keckler for lunch at the Ferry Building a year or two ago. I met Charlie Jane at WonderCon (and I also ran into her after the Terminator Salvation screening).

Oh, the young Andy Garcia was, indeed, quite beautiful. I will watch The Untouchables every single time it's on, for that reason alone.

Gotcha. It was in 2003, I think. Quite a while ago! When she and Mark first moved out from Massachusetts.

When Branaugh says he's quit, Williams responds to the effect of "No you haven't. Look, you're either a smoker or you're not. Pick one and be that."
Which was then beautifully countered by when he sees Andy Garcia's character inhaling off the cigarette through his trach box. What does he say? "Keep 'em. I just quit."

Always Anti-fascist!
I just(or rather, finally) saw Marie Antoinette. Lovely to gaze at, but at the same time, I had one thought: "Como se dice Medellin en frances? Marie Antoinette!" Except Ms. Dunst did not look like Tony Clifton. Ari Gold was right...a sexy trailer can hide a lot of shit.OTOH, I should have known a Best Costuming winner would never, um, blow my skirt up.
