Mal ,'Heart Of Gold'
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.
The first time I remember seeing Martin was as a Tourette's patient on Dr. Kildare. I've loved him ever since, no matter the role, or how bad the movie. One meeting on my life list I'll never get the chance to check off.
My first was Wild Wild West, so his TGR role always seemed an anomaly to me. Though I thought he did it well.
Then I saw Experiment in Terror (Fear?), and realized WWW might have been the anomaly. He makes a GREAT villain.

Hi Polter-cow. Double Indemnity is based a James M. Cain novel (The Postman Always Rings Twice) not Chandler.
Isn't Double Indemnity based on, well, Double Indemnity (by James M Cain--a novella), and The Postman Always Rings Twice based on The Postman Always Rings Twice?
"Double Indemnity" is based on "Double Indemnity" by James M. Cain, but the screenplay was adapted from the novel by Raymond Chandler together with Billy Wilder.
Somebody say Double Indemnity again!
Wouldn't it be quadruple indemnity at this point?
Double Indemnity is based a James M. Cain novel (The Postman Always Rings Twice) not Chandler.
Yeah, but Chandler co-wrote the screenplay.
I, Lobot: A Day In The Life of Lando Calrissian’s Assistant
We all know the story so well: The young scrappy boy who shares an intimate kiss with his sister before going to learn 'magic' from a muppet in a swamp, the space princess sexually assaulted by a drug smuggler in a broom closet, the back-stabbing Colt .45 pitchman, and of course the reunion with the estranged father who then maims his son.
But what of the unsung heroes of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, the little people who charge the blasters, reset the flyers, and get shot down by the AT-ATs?
Ladies and gentleman, here’s a peek at a day in the life of Lobot
Megan Fox: I wasn't fired—I QUIT Transformers 3!
Okey-dokey then....
We've been waiting to hear Megan Fox's side of the story, and here it is!
Following the shocking report that she was dumped by director Michael Bay from the upcoming Transformers 3, Fox issued a statement to People magazine last night, saying that she actually left the movie and was not fired. "Megan Fox will not be starring in Transformers 3," her reps told the magazine. "It was her decision not to return. She wishes the franchise the best."
At the same time, Hitfix backed up the 24-year-old actress' statement, reporting that sources "close to the production" also confirmed that Fox was not fired but had quit.
