Look, Angel, I know you've been out of the loop for a while, but I'm still evil. I don't do errands...unless they're evil errands.

Pandora just served me an ad for a soundtrack to a Ryan Reynolds movie that came out in 2005 called "Just Friends". On the movie poster, Ryan Reynolds looks like he's in a fat suit. Is this the friendzone movie I never wanted?

Argh, the nearest showing of Only Lovers Left Alive is 20 miles away and ends on Thursday. I don't think I can make that happen.

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

Aw, JAR didn't get it. But if they're trading black for black, Boyega's a good pick.

I love him, but my honest reaction to seeing Max Von Sydow's name was, 'He's still alive?'

Aw. RIP Mr. Hoskins. It seems like he was well loved, bless him. I always admired his work.

Because books.

His role in Mermaids was one of my favorites.

That was a good one. I think I first saw him in Mona Lisa and second in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, which set the stage for never really knowing what to expect from him.

The Long Good Friday, a very early-80s British gangster flick, has an amazing Hoskins performance (Helen Mirren is in it too, but she doesn't actually have a whole lot to do, though she does it well).

The final sequence of that movie - one long medium-to-close shot of Hoskins going through a variety of emotions, is absolutely stunning.
