Wash ,'Bushwhacked'
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.
He stands out because he's a consistent moneymaker, but he really doesn't have anything in common other with Washington and Smith other than his colour and his industry. The writer can't even discuss them together. It's very clumsy to start off the article with them as a triad. And smacks of token inclusion.
He's such a black entertainment staple. It makes no sense.
I'd think Danny Glover or perhaps Morgan Freeman would be a better choice to round out that trio. Or are they disqualified because they're older? (Certainly Glover has headlined some successful action movies in his day–I sure didn't see Predator 2 because Gary Busey was in it...)
I don't know if Danny Glover is bringing home the bacon.
I just finished watching The Code with Morgan Freeman, which makes the second recent direct-to-DVD Freeman movie I've watched in as many months. He's a big name, but he's really indiscriminate. And his last big role was racially specific, so maybe...I dunno. He put Tyler fucking Perry in the damned article.
Saw Fish Tank last night. It's deeply bleak, but a really nuanced portrait of a girl trying to figure out sexuality in a truly fucked-up environment. I saw it in a theater, but I think it is available on pay-per-view right now. It does co-star Michael Fassbender, who is not only a good actor, he is sex on a stick.
Okay, I hate to do this, but I'm coming up dry on the beta front.
Any Pitch Black fans want to beta a vid for me?
Oh my Lord, somebody thought it would be a good idea to make a knock-off of Transformers, and Bruce Boxleitner was so desperate for work he said yes!
I'm happpy to announce Dead Again is still awesome. I miss Branagh/Thompson.
One of the best kisses in film, ::sigh::
I looooove Dead Again! I remember seeing it in the theaters with my dad, and we both were huge fans of it. I didn't even get the big connection until that night, when I was washing the dinner dishes and all of the sudden went "ooooh, yeah--her first line after the hypnosis was 'Somebody help me!', and that was Roman's line afte finding his wife's body."
It is actually cool to rewatch when you know the twists, they are actually a number of little references.
