The Person is firmly Dwayne Johnson in my head now.
Well, we may not have parted on the best of terms. I realize certain words were exchanged. Also, certain... bullets. But that's air through the engine. It's past. We're business people.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
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.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
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.
Jim Carrey has a character he can play other than Jim Carrey?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Gene Hackman never played anything but Gene Hackman,
Gotta side with Scrappy (as is only right and natural). Compare The Conversation with The French Connection with The Royal Tennenbaums.
Just back from seeing The Watchmen. That was a whole lot of damn blue dick.
After the movie I got to blow Emmett's mind: "The guy who played Rorshach? He was the kid who played Kelly Leak in the original Bad News Bears."

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
The Truman Show and Eternal Sunshine would say yes.
(And to be fair, he played a decent range of comic characters on In Living Color as well. They were all variations on "the white guy who makes faces" but he was certainly no worse in that regard than any other sketch comedy TV actor.)

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
From what I'm hearing Knowing would suck with or without Nic Cage. My projectionist said it was very scary but most of the reviews I've seen say the special effects are cartoony.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
You know, I suppose this is heresy, but I did not like "Face/Off." I was capping on that movie with my BF at the time in the movie theater.
The movie get so over the top in the last 15 or 30 minutes that I just can't get over it. There are doves, there's a kidnapping! There's a boat chase! Explosions!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

The main thing I like about that movie is the memory of my mother forbidding my brother to give me a copy after my sinus surgery.

A look at Harry Potter World in Orlando and Prince William has a "Harry Potter scar".

I watched Dead Like Me: Life After Death. Mostly I was disappointed. I thought it started out with promise, that deeper mysteries would be revealed, and failed to deliver. In the end I didn't feel that it was a story crying out to be told. It felt more like the first episode of season 3.
