It was Bruno Kirby who kept throwing me out of the movie. That's an actor that just doesn't belong in a medieval grunge movie.
And there's that.
I'm not evil again. Why does everyone think 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.

Because books.
That's what it was! And it was horrifyingly awful. But ... Rutger Hauer declaring himself as St. Martin or whatever was a really fascinating train wreck.
This was years and years ago, too. I wonder if I could sit through it now.

I had forgotten about Flesh and Blood. That was such a difficult film. The commentary sounds interesting, but there's no way I'll be watching that again.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
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 love Sting best in Yellowbeard.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I think I have to go with Fortress Around Your Heart.
Rutger Hauer will always be Roy Batty to me but I did love him in Blood of Heroes.

I LOVED Blood of Heroes. Such a whacked-out cast.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
CNN is saying that John Hughes (the director/writer) died of a heart attack today.
So: what's your favorite John Hughes movie (as director or writer)?
For me, it's always The Breakfast Club. But followed VERY closely by Planes, Trains and Automobiles; Sixteen Candles; and Mr. Mom.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Pretty in Pink and The Breakfast Club.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Ferris Beuller is my favorite. I think he was a better director than writer.
