Like the remake more than the original: Thomas Crowne Affair. GUH.
Oh, so totally this. I love that movie. Rene: "How are you feeling?" Pierce: "Popular." And sex on the stairs and oh yes, all of it. Cheesy? Yup. But so, so fun.
Despite its low reputation, I love the Italian Job remake and Ocean's 11 too.
After seeing the original Alfie (yes, I know, iconiccakes) I could not for the life of me see why they remade it with Jude Law. Didn't see it, but if ever a film begged to not be remade, that was it.
Nathan Lane was wonderful, and Calista Flockhart was surprisingly good in a tiny and mostly thankless role, but the entire rest of the movie was, to me, a bucket of meh. Except Williams, who was a bucket of STABKILLRAGE.
Hank Azaria!
Oh goodness, yes. Just give me Nathan and Hank, and everybody else can go home.
My take has always been Robin was at his best when he was on cocaine and delivered 20 jokes a minute. You don't like his last punchline? Wait 5 seconds another will come up. And then he got off coke, and he did not lose his talent. But he ended up with hyper-SNAG self presentation/ self image ex-substance abuser males sometimes end up with. And it ends up in most of the roles he plays, not all, but most.
R.I.P. Edward Woodward. :-(
Since Terry Gilliam was the famousest alum of my college (up until recently), we pretty much had Mandatory Gilliam Studies. Fiona's diss would've fit right in.
/still has a crush on Michael Palin
My annoyance with the 2012 previews was the inability of the airplane pilot to find the climb controls so they can get above all the collapsing buildings.
That, and...Santa Monica Airport! Why are they flying back inland? (and the plane engines wouldn't be able to handle the amount of debris in the air, and...Not My Movie.)
So I'm going to buy
Space Trek
or
Star Schwinn
or whatever it's called today. Should I care about Abrahms' commentary? Because I'm tempted to just download it from iTunes.
Star Schwinn
I read that as "Star Schwing" and laughed and laughed.

That's the version with the Kirk commentary.
