also Heat is free on Youtube right now. Sorta crazy how much talent is in that movie. Movie holds up well, but :lol::lol::lol: at Deniro mugging around in his unbuttoned double-breasted suit jacket

the fact that they didn't need to overdub the shootout because shooting blanks off in downtown LA was so loving loud that it made the soundtrack is really something

yeah the north hollywood shootout was loving wild and part of why we're in this loving mess today

one of them popped himself after he had his hand shot and the other one got shot in the legs and was allowed to bleed to death before they let medics touch him, it was real crazy bad poo poo

Yeah right at the beginning of the clip I linked Michael Mann is talking about how cops aren't used to being overwhelmed by force and by people who know what they're doing and when it happens they fall apart and that poo poo is 1,000% correct lol

yeah lol he's totally right, those two guys hosed up their recon and then, once they botched their job, held the copsLAPD at bay for like a straight hour before everything went real bad for them

Fun fact about Batman & Robin: Arnold Schwarzenegger got $25 million for his part and he's only actually on screen for 30 minutes. Dude was being paid almost $1 million per minute. Hollywood!!!

Heat is quite possibly a perfect film.

Last of the Mohicans is so loving good (Daniel Day-Lewis just walks into a movie and makes it great, I digress) but Heat, I think, takes the cake for Mann's directorial career.

Helps that he got to make it as a TV movie as a dry run first, though.

I'm "watching" Heat for the first time now. Well, with about a twentieth of my attention. I admit Crime (fiction) isn't one of my favorite genres, though I've occasionally enjoyed some offbeat English & Australian crime films.

I can see how the movie would strongly resonate with many U.S. citizens, since it's centered round both the primary American Dream (chasing large amounts of money), and also their other, highly popular, dream of shooting a bunch of people for no good reason.

Yeah that's about how much I'd expect you to get out of that movie

Fichtner doesn't have a lot of screentime either, but the way things play out with him and the way he dies enforce that isolation theme while also embedding what a piece of poo poo everyone in the movie is

I don't think I saw it until 2010 or so, for the same reason.

it was only a year or two after it came out for me, but I gave it a chance and it's still a movie that I have fond memories of as far as the genre

That scene set to A History of Bad Men was worth price of admission alone.

I saw Melvins a couple weeks ago and Dale is out recuperating from surgery.

Coady sure did play that song and it was great.

Agreed - every time I see the Melvins I'm amazed at how well one drummer pulls off those two-drummer songs. And I've seem both of them now.

I saw them touring as a four piece a long time ago and it was sick as gently caress. Coady is next-level, though, I was glad that he became the permanent replacement of Des in HoF cuz I don't think a whole lot of other people can really pull what Des did off.

Watched Thief from thread’s recommendation (it’s on Paramount+), that was excellent & Caan’s character was fascinating. I liked how he was consistently thuggish & aggressive while capable of being methodical & professional on jobs, but he didn’t know when to turn it off (he may not even been capable of doing so) in situations where it may not be the best idea, comically at the adoption office, but then threatening a crime boss & banishing his wife could probably have been approached differently.

Interesting to see James Belushi in a non-wacky role & he was fine, did have a question about the ending. why did Caan blow up his house & businesses? Was it to symbolize he was abandoning his dreams to be more than his mentor & resigning himself to always being a thief with no connections? I was confused as Leo didn’t want those places or even mention them & Caan wasn’t faking his family’s deaths, felt like an unnecessary act & likely to injure himself before a risky one man attack.

I liked when he was storming Leo’s house and was spotted by his wife, who looks scared but has been probably expecting such a thing so she just turns back to the tv and lives.


Read Remulak's post just a bit upthread

I saw him chowing down, like absolutely going to town, on something 2 spots ahead of me in line while being an rear end in a top hat with a full mouth to the cashier, straight giving her the business, at the Cerrillos Whole Foods in Santa Fe post-weight-gain, pre-cancer one time.

It was like that copypasta but IRL and way, way before it ever showed up.

There is a great Chuck Klosterman segment in his book Chuck Klosterman IV: A Decade of Curious People & Dangerous Ideas when he interviewed Val Kilmer. Kilmer is one of those method actors that truly believes he knows the part he's playing better than the character itself; he knows what it's like to be Jim Morrison better than Morrison himself, he knows what it's like to be Moses better than Moses.

He definitely knows what it's like to be a dude spitting pieces of food out of his full mouth while eating an item he hasn't paid for while arguing with a grocery store cashier about prices, that's for sure
