Last movie you watched......

Wasn't the whole thing some razor-sharp parody of the day? Something about the gold standard or the robber barons or somesuch?

 

I heard some story that Baum had to tell some kids a story at a library and came up with OZ by looking at a card catalog marked O-Z.

 

Witch of the South was at a Daughters of the Confederacy cotillion.

 

Only the Brave is worth a look. Didn't do too well in theaters but is a serious upgrade from Howie Long's "Firestorm." Great cast - Brolin, Bridges, Connolly, Miles Teller and Taylor Kitsch.

 

OMG ... Firestorm.
On our honeymoon cruise that movie played on continuous loop in our cabin. Fucking terrible.


Or should I say, it was terrible to fuck to!

 

I watched "The Sandlot 2" last night. James Earl Jones must be running out of money. I think they used the same script as the first one.

 

Just because we should never, ever forget that Firestorm exists ...

 

William Forsythe is on the Mount Rushmore of great bad actors.

 

What's crazy is that everyone knew that was a stinker from the jump. I'm guessing movies was part of his original Fox deal, whether he could act or not.
Real fun fact: Howie Long played Tom Hanks "close personal friend" in That Thing You Do.

 

I always figured Firestorm flowed out of his performance as John Travolta's main henchman in Broken Arrow. He actually was pretty good in that and might have been able to have a decent movie career by sticking to those types of supporting roles. Someone just pushed him up the ladder way too soon.

 

To expand on that: His scenes were cut from the theatrical release, but restored in the extended cut that came with the movies DVD a few years ago.

I also remember he was in "3000 Miles to Graceland" with Kevin Costner, Kurt Russell and that cute Cox-Arquette couple when they were still married.

 

TB and JB and the NFL Fox crew gave him a lot shit over that movie when it came out.
