Fool to cry

I haven't seen that yet but I did recently see William Friedkin's "Wages of Fear" remake SORCERER starring Roy Schroeder. It's a shame being released after Star Wars hurt it at the box office because it's incredible. That Tangerine Dream score is soooooo good. Also I didn't know Bruno Cremer who played Inspector Maigret on TV in France in the 90s was in it.

That Miami Vice episode "Bushido" was great. Olmos and Stockwell being ex CIA agents who had been involved in ninja clan wars in the 70s. Should have been ridiculous but it was awesome.

I meant the crew and everyone behind the scenes who had families to support who would be out of work when the show got cancelled. If bringing Spike on board and paying him what he wanted would keep the show on another season then that's what they had to do. My feeling is Joss was an asshole but not in the way people think. I don't think he fired Charisma out of revenge of dislike. Like he didn't have Black Widow and Bruce be in a relationship and have her reveal she couldnt have kids because he didn't like the actors. It's what he wanted to write. I think he wanted to take the show somewhere in season 5 and Cordelia just didn't fit those plans. "Sorry but I now have a new vision and they don't include you anymore. What? You need to support a child now? Well them's the breaks". He just strikes me as "my art is more important than people's feelings" types like Kubrick haranguing Shelly Duvall not because of animosity but so she'd give the performance he wanted.

I'm sure though you believe his story of Joss choking him against a wall his first season. Also I just can't see if Cordelia did have a regular human pregnancy(as some fans would prefer) why she would stick around Angel investigation and put her child in danger?

I doubt that. I think this new bit of info from James Marsters shed more light on the situation: https://youtu.be/K4VyMNLJYxs All I can say is, yes she had a kid but so did a lot of people who worked on the show. If it was a matter of the "needs of the many outweigh the needs of the one".

She's great in her debut Leon(The Professional) and her Oscar winning role in The Black Swan. She and Chris Hemsworth actually have better chemistry in the WHAT IF? episode than the live action movies. I think it's because Portman onscreen sometimes is like a porcelain doll with RBF.

Charlton Heston originally didn't want to do the movie because it was a supporting role and by then he had played Moses and was now a leading man but William Wyler talked him into it. I think he was the right person because you needed someone the audience could accept would fight Gregory Peck to a draw and all the other male actors who fit the bill were too established for that part. I think of Gone With the Wind as the tragic story of a woman who realized too late that her only truest friend that she didn't appreciate because she was so narcissistic. It's a Wonderful Life would've been better if you didn't have the two twinkling stars representing angels narrating George Bailey's life. You introduce Clarence later and you're not sure he's really an angel or just nuts.

I would never in a million years have predicted Pete Davidson to be the Warren Beatty of the modern era.

I remember he also guest starred on an episode of FAMILY TIES(Hanks had also guest starred as "Uncle Ned") where he played a co-worker of Elyse the mom, who was secretly in love with her. It was the first time I had seen an episode of a show from the guest star's POV. It is still one of the best portraits of unrequited love I have seen. It could have been creepy but he plays it like a regular guy in a bad situation. Like he knew it was hopeless, Elyse never thought of him that way and she was happily married with children so it was never going to happen but to see him in agony next to someone knowing nothing was ever going to happen you couldn't help feel sympathy.

I would like a separate book on that anyway.

This is why I hate when fans say the prequels were terrible because he surrounded himself with "yes men". You can say no to him but he'll do it anyway! I'm sure there were people around who were like "I don't know about this Jar Jar character.." and he ignored them. Recently his ex-wife Marcia talked about when she first saw Episode I afterwards she cried in her car because of how bad it was and she thought everything in it was awful! Do you think if they were still together when he was making it she could have talked him out of anything?

Great thread:

I think Perkins was great in Orson Welles' adaptation of Franz Kafka's The Trial which came out three years after Psycho. He really captured the confusion of the main character experiencing the harrowing neverending nightmare of the story.

I'm be pissed if this was meant to be the same Bond that Connery, Moore, Bronson played but it's not.

New trailer:

I liked it. Fans complain about their being no drama conveniently forget "drama" means unhappiness for your favorite characters! The series finale was everyone getting either a happy ending or at least their lives arent going to get worse.

Having 20+ episodes a season means the writers could one day go "What if we have Laxanna Troi be like "Auntie Mame" to Worfs son?

Yeah when I saw it in 1997 it was more snickering knowingly! Looking into behind the scenes and Leigh Brackett's only draft it was going to be revealed that Luke had a long lost twin sister but it wasn't Leia. Luke was going to find her in the next movie.

Funny how fans criticize Disney because they think Lucas had the original trilogy planned out unlike the sequels but around the hour mark of the 1983 Making of Jedi on special you can find on YouTube he admitted when they were about to film the scene they didn't have anything specific in the script that Vader would say to make Luke angry. Then Lucas realized he could have Vader threaten to turn Leia to the Dark Side and that would set Luke off!

I also think they were playing different types of roles in their home country. Franco Nero became a star in Italy playing the original Django, a brooding, taciturn anti-hero ala Clint Eastwood in a violent speghetti Western. Then Warner Bros brings him over to play righteous and boisterous singing knight Lancelot in their musical Camelot!

A couple of years ago I realized Daniel Craig's Bond was more like Ultimate Spider-Man(Peter Parker) and I'm glad it's now validated!

Nothing is a better time capsule of the turn of the Millennium than Coyote Ugly. If you want to show anyone Gen Z what the year 2000 was like in a nutshell show them that movie!
