I think I saw that once, with Henry Winkler, right?

I think his best was the Dream Team.

. . . Keanu Reeves's Neo was King Lear in comparison with DiCaprio's Cobb.

Burn! ; )

Mine's probably College, or maybe Go West, or The General.

Oh...er...Michael Keaton?  I loved his over-the-top performance in Much Ado about Nothing.  And I liked him in more serious dramatic roles, as in My Life and Clean and Sober.  And he made a terrific psychopathic villain in Pacific Heights.

BTW, re. Inception, again:  Why is it that in all these movies that promote irresponsible gunplay, a dozen villains firing fully auto assault rifles can riddle the hero's car with bullets and never touch him, but he can snap off a couple of quick shots over the shoulder with a hand gun while diving for cover and score knock downs every time?

Hollywood physics.

Well, David you saved us $20.... that we ended up blowing on The Other Guys.  A few chuckles and it was GREAT, and I mean GREAT to see Keaton doing comedy again.  He was fantastic in the few scenes he did.  However, the night was not a total loss as we shared a club sandwich on a patio on a beautiful Colorado evening and then grabbed an ice cream at a ma a pa shop that makes their own in the back....I had pineapple.

Bill, my wife and I saw that one too and both loved it (if only because of Ferrell and Wahlberg).  I knew beforehand that this duo would be magic together, and they did not disappoint!!  I thought the rest of the movie was a little hokey, over-the-top cop car chases and stuff, but just the dialogue alone between Ferrell and Wahlberg was more than well worth the price of admission.

Highly recommended, but only because of these two.

You guys are getting all excited for that flick!!!

Jennifer's Body

I really enjoyed Megan Fox in this movie, but I really do like her personally, I find her to be a seemingly honest character.

The plot was a bit blah, and was in your face with its 'symbolism', although I did like how the movie ended.

All in all it was a pretty fun watch, even with the horrible pacing, and it was horrible, the pacing, that is, not the movie.

[George]

Having seen the first two recently, I had to see this one. I liked it more than the second one, but the first one is still heads and shoulders above the other two.

"The Groovy Guru" from season 3 of Get Smart

[Brahmsian]

Looking forward to this coming out next week!

Oh...er...Michael Keaton?  I loved his over-the-top performance in Much Ado about Nothing.

Hands-down my least favorite performance by him. To each his own!

My favorite thing about Michael Keaton is his name. He was born Michael Douglas, but since there was already an actor named Michael Douglas, he chose to become Michael Keaton ... naming himself after another actor, Diane.

"The Groovy Guru" from season 3 of Get Smart

The first two seasons are funny enough (we might say), but the team really hit their stride in the third season.  I also watched both parts of "The Little Black Book" with Don Rickles (and a subtle cameo for Ernie Borgnine).

Yes, I also watched a couple of episodes from the second season of The Addams Family, and the first (of the surviving?) episode(s) of Do Not Adjust Your Set.  Just what a chap needs to cool down the grey matter after an intense bout of viola sonata! : )

a nerdy entry
The British Transport Films Collection vol.7 - The Age  of the Train
4 hours of rail documentaries - infomercials? from 1952 - 1982, some of which are interesting.
The Finiishing Line is quite a surprise:a dramatized day of school games played on or across an active rail line with fatalities galore, reminded me of the Japanese film Battle Royale!

Somehow it'd seem more suitable to have the title "Floating Bubbles" with that cover.

OK, Karl, a win win question for you based on recent viewing....99 or Emma Peel?
