Thief was the one for me, also liked him in For the Boys, and he was hilarious in Elf. _________________ “We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.” ― Elie Wiesel |

Loved him in Elf. And Mickey Blue Eyes - best part of that film.
And I knew you'd choose Thief - Michael Mann, baby. |

I liked Thief too. Still watch it from time to time. _________________ Nobody in the NBA can touch the Laker brand, which, like the uniform color, is pure gold. |

First film that came to me was Bulletproof. Adam Sandler, Damon Wayans, and Kristen Wilson. Kristen has hauntingly beautiful light brown eyes. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Both incredible performances from him. Also underrated in El Dorado , Rain People , Freebie & The Bean, Another Man, Another Chance, and Gardens of Stone.

He was great on and off screen, I was a fan.
He had a great confident air about him.
I just loved him in the Godfather, the scene when he beats up Carlo for beating his sister is just brilliant.
Rest in peace James. _________________ Love, Laker Lanny |

Misery was an epitome of that even if an obvious one. Jimmy was the main reason I liked Bottle Rocket (1996) at all as opposed to the more commercial Rushmore (98). _________________ GOAT MAGIC REEL

Was a cute Wilson movie. Remember watching that in 96 on cable in the wee hours simply out of boredom and it being on at the beginning. The Wilson cuteness kinda faded. You already saw the entire bag of tricks in those by the time Rushmore came around. I knew Rushmore was done by the same people as Bottle Rocket before I verified it sometime later (I was still comp-less when Rushmore first hit telly, no Dogpile, no AltaVista, no Lycos, no AskJeeves abilities). _________________ GOAT MAGIC REEL

Coincidence? I'm making a meatloaf today. I'm mentally tasting spam and ground beef. I'll let you know how it tastes. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
