'War Stories'
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.
Ooh, Brimstone and Treacle, so f***ed up.
I think his best role was as the little seen dad in Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels, and possibly his little seen role in Stormy Monday. Basically as an asshole thug.
I'll forever be grateful that David Bowie was the Goblin King and not Sting.
Sting was in some horrific movies in the early 80s.
I saw them all.
I can't even remember how many times my girlfriends and I watched The Bride, or how many times we replayed the scene where he ALMOST PETS HER HAIR OMG BUT THEN DOESN'T!!!
Hey, I liked Dune!
Why yes, I just had "KMH" put after my name on my business cards, denoting Kwisatz Motherfuckin' Hadderach.
weren't they robots or clones or something that required tech to create?
Disney animatronics. Horrific enough.

Seconded. Raq does, in fact, rawk.
I, too, love Dune.

Yes, but your superhuman ability to love bizarrely crappy movies of many stripes is more an indictment than an endorsement.

Oh, dude. If you're talking the Stallone/Hauer/Wiliams/Wagner movie Nighthawks...I just don't know you anymore.

None of them were as bad as the Three Penny Opera production he was in in the late 80's.
::points vaguely in the direction of Nighthawks::
Yeah, yeah. Really, Tango and Cash is better ammo. I mean, I don't OWN Nighthawks. I don't try to make other people WATCH Nighthawks. I'm just sickly fascinated by it, and by the fact that Stallone is actually attractive in the fucking thing. [link] (In a slim Kevin Smith way.)
Dune, however, I saw in the theatre when it came out. Frank Herbert was there. It was An Event (it was one of two official premiere showings). I am not able to be entirely rational about it, because I was 10, and it was a Big Deal to go see it.
Plus, my father watched it every few years. So I saw it often.
