96 down, 66 to go


 

Corey Seagar?

Lombard, Jr.?

Shelly Duncan?

Jeremy Pena?

Ryan Jeffers?

Hunter Goodman?

Higgy?

Skubal? (Surely you jest)


It's a long season. Given Cashman's track record, it's about to get a lot longer.

Iliad and Odyssey never make a good movie. Too mythic. And what makes them great are the words. The visuals can never live up to them.

If it wasn't Nolan, I wouldn't give it a chance. But it's a great story, and he's a great filmmaker, so I'll give it a chance. At some point. Down the road.

Satyricon did ok in the theaters.

Mostly because people didn't want to admit they couldn't understand a Fellini plot.

Like a lot of them, it had no plot.

I used to like describing dinner with the in-laws as a Fellini movie - a lot of absurd unexplained characters that were not even relevant.

Colorful nonetheless.

I always loved Jason and the Argonauts. Harryhausen was great.

Rufus, you will deny any involvement with that video clip which will self-destruct in 5 seconds.

For the record, I have never been in a Turkish prison.

Damn, I thought you were the American Tourist in Midnight Express.

I was an extra in Brad Davis's next movie. He was so cooked up, I felt sorry him.

But, at the time I'd wished I knew his supplier.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Fking autocorrect. Coked not cooked! But both would be correct.

La Dolce Vita might be my favorite movie, ever. Amarcord, La Strada, Nights of Cabiria, Roma, Casanova, 8 1/2...amazing work, Rufus. But yeah, when his swing was off by just a little bit...

Rufus T. Firefly said...

To be fair, 8 1/2 only has a plot because it is about a director that films a movie with no plot.

Kinda like Mel Brooks putting ads for spaceballs merchandise in the movie. Just slightly more low brow. 🤣
