Lorne: Take care of yourself and ah, make sure fluffy is getting enough love. Gunn: Did he have anything? Fred: No. And who's fluffy? Are you fluffy? Gunn: He called me fluffy? Fred: He said make sure…wait. You don't think he was referring to anything of mine that's fluffy, do you? Because that would just be inappropriate.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Yeah, I'm with Sean.

It kinda breaks down to three levels with me:

Russell Crowe Type: Russell who? Whatever, this functionally retarded bad-ass LA cop in the '50s is totally compelling!

Gene Hackman: Wow. This is what this guy would be like if he was Gene Hackman. Which somehow is awesome.

Nic Cage: What next, Nic? Two hours of "Nic Cage Plays Cops and Robbers and Then Has a Cookie and a Nap"?

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

I agree about Nic Cage and disagree about Hackman. He is an incredibly natural actor so you never see him working, but if you watch several films of his in a row, you can spot real differences between the characters. I loves me some Hackman.

Allow me to defend my Gene Hackman love further. I think he's a fantastic actor, because even though there never seems to be a LOT of diversity in his characters, I always feel like I'm watching the character. I don't ever see Gene, or watch Gene acting. I mean, I *adore* him. I'll sit through almost any otherwise blah film, just to watch Gene at work.

Although, to be fair, possessing a broad range of "characters" doesn't make one's acting great either.... I'm looking at you Jim Carrey and sometimes Dustin Hoffman.

Ooh, you meant the movie The Rock and not the person. I love that movie a lot.

I'm pretty much a sucker for anything that takes place on Alcatraz.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Man, remember when Nic Cage wasn't a punchline waiting to happen? I mean, Face/Off! He was so cool!

How'd he go from that to this?
