Make sure there's a lot of pretty lens flares?

I mean, he IS good at that.

Sounds like quite the gig. I should get in on that.

Nicholas Meyer on his earliest interactions with Ricardo Montalban:

But I said, “Well, okay. Let’s let them do their lighting. And we’ll go into your trailer and chat a little bit.” He said, “Okay.” We went into the trailer, and I said, “You know, Laurence Olivier once said that an actor should never show an audience his top… because once you show them your top, they know you got no place else to go.” He said (in a pretty spot-on Montalban imitation), “Oh. Oh.” He said, “Oh, you’re going to direct me. That’s very good. I need direction. I don't know what I’m doing up there.” That was the beginning of our collaboration. I think I also said to him on that occasion, “You know, crazy people don't have to raise their voice. Because you just never know what a crazy person is gonna do NEXT!” And I reached out and lunged for his neck. He laughed, and suddenly he got the whole character.

Whew. That's a take.

But I love that people can have takes like that. JC is a God (to me) and I value every film he's made. Even The Ward...ugh

I actually meant casting but just wrote the wrong word. Haven't slept in over a day.

D3: The Mighty Ducks is the best of the trilogy. The first is a classic, but the second one sucks.

"I manage 'action' and 'cut' and 'faster' and 'more intense,' and then, uh, mostly I sit there looking miserable and quiet."

Haha! I go by: 3>1>2. 2's only good for seeing the team for 3 come together.

If I had a say on who should be mega movie stars by now, my vote would include Dan Stevens and Richard Madden.

Richard Who?

OMG! What an incredible resource you seem to have discovered! I've gone all my life hoping to find something like it! You're the best!

Since that post you quoted, I made my evidence public. But it is only 10-15 minutes worth of evidence. I didn't waste a lot of time on it. Although it's fine if I'm wrong. It is pretty awesome how similar that user is to DVR if that user really isn't DVR.



Nah, just backed up my suspicion with evidence. I've been right the previous 2 times on my suspicions. It was super easy, barely an inconvenience.



Absolutely.

Its not DVR , its me , Andy Kaufman

There are a lot more socks than that around here.

For another unpopular Powers opinion: Goldmember is the best of the trilogy, and it's not even remotely close.
