Pure evil.







Hitchcock - "Rope" - loosely based on the Loeb and Leopold case:

"The universe is 40 billion light years across and every inch of it would kill you if you went there. That is the position of the universe with regard to human life."

A bit cheerier:

Yes. This, indeed, is a fine piece of work. "Skin that smokewagon and go to work!" You wouldn't get away with that kind of language nowadays, except maybe in 'Frisco. :lol:

Could use a slice of Doc Holliday:


Oh, how I love that performance. I do wish that Val Kilmer weren't such an incredible asshole that no one can stand working with him. Although if he weren't, that performance would probably be a much lesser thing than it is, since if it isn't the all-time most ungenerous performance by a supporting actor in a feature-length film, it's gotta be pretty damn close. I mean, he barely even appears to be aware that there's an entire ensemble cast all around him, doing their level best to make a completely different movie than the one presumably taking place in the same alternate dimension as his performance, the secret portal to which he evidently forgot to mention to anyone else on the set.

You'd really kind of have to feel sorry for Kurt Russell if it weren't so difficult even to remember that he's there. Yet I'm almost positive that he was. Standing around wondering what happened to the star vehicle Val Kilmer drove off in while his back was turned for a moment, in all likelihood. Although for some odd reason, I can't quite recall. He was in that picture, though, right?

Kilmer was right at home in Masked and Anonymous for the same reason.

Best clip I've seen yet.

I got to smack a man like that once, only a few months ago. He shot me in the ass with theater pellet gun (it's a long story). Right away he rushed up apologizing, but it had been no accident. I threw my arm back and let him have it hard on his right cheek. It's one of the most satisfying things I've ever done.

Not the best scene, but the only one I could find

The Theatre of the Absurd arrived on television in 1961, with productions of Simpson plays on both British networks. BBC TV produced a live performance of One Way Pendulum, now lost, whilst Granada mounted a shortened version of A Resounding Tinkle for ITV... Hot on the heels of his Summer Holiday success, director Peter Yates agreed to shoot Simpson’s most celebrated stage play, One Way Pendulum, for release in 1964. Starring Eric Sykes, George Cole and a mute Jonathan Miller, Yates’ rendition of the play captured Simpson’s matter-of-fact approach to nonsense but failed at the box office.

The Hound of the Baskervilles, directed by Paul Morrissey (!) It's a terrible movie really, but there are some glorious scenes in it.

Spike Milligan: "...the vicious axe murdener."


And who among us can't relate to this situation?
