The Movie Hero

[Capt Quirk]

Just happened to be scrolling through the channels, trying to find something that I A) Hadn't seen a hundred times, and B) Didn't suck horribly. This sounded a little corny, but had Dina Meyers in it, so it was worth a glance in my book.

The story is about a Guy in Hollywood, who believes he is the Leading Man, and there is an audience always watching him and his exploits. It throws out some movie cliches, and even a few comical twists. I laughed pretty much all the way through it, and even found a new actor to watch out for- Peter Stormare. Check it out sometime

Peter Stormare has been worth watching, for a long time now...

 

[Capt Quirk]

I had seen him before, just can't remember where. In this movie though, he really stood out.

 

[Sad Max]

I'll check it out. Thanks for the tip!

Stormare is the man.

"Where is pancakes house? We stop at pancakes house."

 

[Capt Quirk]

"Where is pancakes house? We stop at pancakes house."

Huh? What role is that from? Or is it just you with a random statement?

 

[TheMacB]

Fargo!

there's a story about when they were filming that scene stormare said "pancake house." after the take ethan said great but can you say "pancakeS house". Stormare said he thought it was a typo and ethan told him there are no typos in coen bros scripts.

 

[Capt Quirk]

Ohhh... Ok. That was him? I wonder how many other flicks he was in that I never noticed.

 

[TheMacB]

he's the russian cosmonaut in Armageddon. that's probably the biggest movie he's been in.

 

[Capt Quirk]

During Armageddon, I was too busy checking the couch lint, so I wouldn't have noticed.

 

[Sad Max]

He was also in Jurassic Park II, wherein he gets mobbed by a bunch of little...dinonychi, they looked like. Another movie during which lint-patrol starts to look like an appealing expenditure of your time...

 

[Capt Quirk]

This is amazing. I checked out his history on IMDB, and looked through all the movies I had seen... and still don't remember him being there. Inconceivable!

 

[Hawk Teflon]

He was also in Prison Break (the TV series). It's one of the few shows I actually keep up with.

 

[Capt Quirk]

I used to watch Prison Break, but missed a few shows the first season, and several shows the second season. Pretty soon, I was completely lost, had no idea what was going on, then all of a sudden they were in South America. I gave up.

 

[Hawk Teflon]

They're in LA now. It took me half of season 2 to even understand what they were doing down there anyway.

how can you forget the porn star nihilist in "the big lebowski" or as satan himself in "constantine". so many memorable performances.
-k-

 

[Capt Quirk]

I wonder that myself. I remember Constantine, but don't remember him as the Devil. As far as Lebowski goes, I didn't recognize him as a nihilist either. Wow.
