I don't even know who that guy is. No idea. I just looked him up and I'm still clueless. Don't recognize him and the only movie I've ever seen with him in is the Exorcism of Emily Rose where I GUESS I remember his character but I wouldn't recognize him on the street. And honestly? I've never even heard of anything else on his IMDB besides Hamlet. And I ain't never heard of his version.

Huh, but apparently he co-directed Big Night. I love that movie, so there you go. And he's George C. Scott's kid. Still never heard of him before this thread. Oh, that's right. I remember the Christian lawyer from Exorcism of Emily Rose was the car salesman in Big Night. How about that.

Big Night kicked ass. If you ain't seen it, do. Stanley Tucci, Tony Schaloub, Ian Holm, Isabella Rossellini, Minnie Driver. Its the story of two Italian brothers (Tucci & Schaloub) who came to America to open a restaurant but conflict with Schaloub's refusal to compromise the art of his cooking and Tucci's desperate attempts to dig the restaurant out of financial danger. The movie builds towards one big night when Tucci's friend and fellow businessman Ian Holm arranges for Louie Prima to perform at their restaurant. The brothers then prepare a lavish meal and throw a big dinner party for Prima. Great acting, great music, one of the most mouth watering dinner scenes ever put to film, and one of the greatest ending scenes I've ever seen. Just a great movie. I'm going to have to remember this one. About 1/4th of the film is in Italian (with subtitles of course) and about 1/4th of it is largely silent. So if you don't think you can handle that, fair warning.

And one of these days I'm going to try and make a timpano.

That movie makes my brain hurt. And I like movies like that. Eternal Sunshine, Requiem...love them. But that movie...oy.

I can't believe no-one else has mentioned this one yet:

Blazing fuckin' Saddles, man!

Also:

Talladega Nights
Running Man

I wouldn't know who Campbell Scott is either, if I hadn't seen Dying Young. Though I've been meaning to rent Roger Dodger on account of I've heard he's great in that, too.

Sub-Zero... now just plain Zero!

Might as well add Commando and Predator to the list. '80 Arnold fucking ruled.

Just an observation for Lucky.

I've seen Lucky pull the "Dude. You're so teh gay" on Serg a number of times. And Serg's all "Yeah, so I like things other than testosterone-fests. I'll cop to that". Unspoken (and unwritten) in all this is Serg's "And in addition, I go home to a nice warm bed and a wife that loves it when we play doctor / nurse. And bad cop / female prisoner. And Jenna Jamison / Peter North. And Boss / Secretary who wants a raise. Romeo and Juliet is one of my favorite movies ever because the wife rode me like a banshee after we watched it".

And then I remember a certain post from our own Luckmeister in the Fuck List thread, where he spent a few winter nights huddling next to the warmth of his computer's CPU. And probably his collection of Ahnuld and Sly Stallone movies. While Serg was sleeping next to his warm wife, exhausted because they had just gotten done re-enacting various sex scenes from Pretty Woman.

I'm just sayin'. ;D

Hey, Serg only has a wife because he says he has a wife. Besides, Solly and Moose are married too.

I won't deny a cold streak of two for this bachelor. I'd love to be pointed towards the particular post in question though. Always good and humbling to look back on a rant. And I've had some decent luck with the ladies of late so I can look back on a cold streak contently. But I must defend my honor. I don't believe I own a single Arnold film. Outside of Terminator and Kindergarten Cop I suppose I never really cared for him. And Terminator wasn't good for him. He was wooden and shitty in those films. Fortunatelly he was playing a character who was supposed to come off as emotionless and inhuman. Sly's had his moments and I do own the Rocky collection and Copland. But never much of a fan of his outside those films either. Demolition Man's kinda fun for a stupid action flick with some weird jokes but otherwise I can't think of a movie of his I've really enjoyed. Even the Rambo films never did much for me.

So stop your presuming and go back to playing with your robot toys. Hey, I heard that they put flames on Optimus Prime! I'm sure there's a messageboard you should be expressing your anger on.

See I knew you could redeem yourself.

I'm surprised you don't have "STOP! Or my mom will shoot" for your Sly collection.

I don't have time for a full response, so I'm just going to hit this point.

You think you're kidding. But the sheer outrage I've seen from some message board people about that is stunning.

[Lucky]

I don't think I'm kidding. I'm a comic fan who's frequented comic forums when movies were released. Geeks are crazy.

Quoted for truth.

[The Jewish Cunthead]

That's what he said after killing SubZero (the Asian hockey player or whatever he was)...

[salmonjunkie]

it's been a long time since I've seen that movie, but it was an awesome one. If I remember it was Professor Sub-Zero that was the guy. Japanese hockey guy.

BTW, this movie felt like a video game, didn't it? Almost like Mega Man - except manly.

[Batman]

Oh, fuck yeah, add The Freshman to my list.
