Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted October 9, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted October 9, 2014 (edited) I don't like saying H*ll. It's the one semi-swear word I will not say, Lokester. This stems from another of my favourite movies – Tiny Toons : How I Spent My Vacation – where Plucky Duck and Hampton are in Happy World Land and they see the Stairway to Heaven and the Bullet Train to Heck.Since then, I’ve always said Heck instead of the other kip.

Paid Members chokeout Posted October 9, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted October 9, 2014 "So run you cur! RUN! You tell all the other curs the law's comin'!! YOU TELL 'EM I'M COMIN'! AND HECKS COMIN' WITH ME, YA HEAR??!? HECKS COMING WITH MAAAYYYYYY!" Dindindin dinkdadaDINKDINK Dindin...etc. "I know...let's have a spelling contest!" is one of my favourite quotes from any movie, ever. Well, how did you find Tombstone, Chokey? Fucking tremendous, on every level, isn't it? I love it. Ive seen it before, but not for a few years and can watch Kurt Russell in anything and forgot just how many fantastic lines are in it. This entire scene from about 40 seconds in is just wonderful "There's just something about him. Something around the eyes, I don't know, reminds me of... me. No. I'm sure of it, I hate him."

Paid Members John Matrix Posted October 9, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted October 9, 2014 I’ve already committed to watching Excessive Force with Thomas Ian Griffith next, how can that possibly fail to deliver? Answer. It didn’t. Absolutely bloody marvellous. I don’t know why Thomas Ian Griffith never went on to bigger and better things, he’s a significant upgrade on most of the guys making this sort of movie at the time, an actor who can do martial arts, rather than a martial artist reading out lines, and it makes a massive difference. Terry Silva is easily the best thing about the Karate Kid trilogy, and admittedly he does have a look more befitting of a villain than a lead, but I’m amazed he didn’t pick up more work. That said, he didn’t half get to act alongside a who’s in the early 90’s. John Lithgow and Donald Sutherland in Hollow Point, Christopher Plummer in Crackerjack, and in Excessive Force his co-stars include Burt Young, Lance Henrikson who’s on Hard Target form incidentally, and would you believe it, James Earl fucking Jones. As far as “loose cannon playing by their own goddamn rules movies go”, this is right up there. There’s a few clever twists and turns, so it’s not entirely formulaic, but if you like one liners, brutal violence and unnecessary tits, then Excessive Force will make an excellent addition to any collection.

Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted October 9, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted October 9, 2014 I'm in, Colonel. I'm in.By the way, I loved The Program! It was made all the more wonderful by the fact that it was directed by David S Ward who helmed Major League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members John Matrix Posted October 9, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted October 9, 2014 Good lad. Ha, i was going to ask you whether you'd watched it yet. Lovely ennit? Yeah, i'd read then when looking into it. Two more different films you'll never find. I love the Lattimer storyline, prime example of sympathising with someone you probably shouldnt, i'm gonna have to watch it again soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted October 9, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted October 9, 2014 Andrew Bryniarski should be in a lot more than he's in. He can act when he wants. Loved him in his brief Hudson Hawk appearance. Hudson Hawk...what a movie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Is that Powers Boothe and Michael Biehn in that scene? It's been a LONG time since I've seen it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted October 9, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted October 9, 2014 Aye! Michael Biehn's eye work alone almost, almost steal the scene only for Kilmer just chewing everything up around him. Is it wrong that I'm not a fan of Powers Boothe. I loved U-Turn, but I fucking hated watching him in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 It is wrong, Branqs. He had a great turn in Nashville recently as a sort of J.R Ewing alike. I love me some Boothe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted October 9, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted October 9, 2014 Never watched Nashville. Between everything I'm watching at the moment (Gotham, Justified, Deadwood, Earthworm Jim, Sons of Anarchy and South Park), it's down the list. Is it good? I thought it was something the missus would like more. Akin to Crazy Heart or Dreamgirls? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members chokeout Posted October 9, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted October 9, 2014 Powers Boothe is great but hes given nothing to do in Tombstone. He's just kinda there. It should have been a far bigger moment when they have the showdown at the creek. Michael Biehn's eye acting is exceptional Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Michael Biehn and Timothy Olyphant must have gone to the same optician or something. They both have the same eye acting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted October 9, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted October 9, 2014 (edited) Great shout Lokester! Olyphantastic is like a cross between Paxton and Biehn. I reckon he was a fan of Tombstone and all. Aliens too! Maybe even Navy SEALs. Sure isn't there a big whopper Tombstone poster on display in the chiefs office on Justified.

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted October 9, 2014 Author Paid Members Share Posted October 9, 2014 Timothy Olyphant is wonderful. Me and Mr. Seven were singing his praises on Twitter the other day. He's brilliant in A Perfect Getaway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
