Dylan, check out Lady From Shanghai for more audacious Welles shenanigans.

It's good flicker.

DJ Dylan, did you guys also watch The Battle Over Citizen Kane?
I feel like knowing what went on behind the scenes makes that film twice as enjoyable.

The gal that plays the missing girl in Spartan (Kristen Bell) also appeared in Pootie Tang (a movie I recently watched and enjoyed). She played Record Executive's Daughter. I have no idea if she based her performance in Pootie Tang on her real life experience as a daughter of a record exec. I'm guessing yes. She was THAT convincing.

No, we did not watch that. But I've seen it. I'd never seen Citizen Kane from beginning to end, just bits and pieces of it. I'm so glad I got the chance to see it in its entirety though.

Last night I saw the Garden State trailer for the first time, and learned that it rules.

And that I watched all the same films in my History of Cinema class as DJ Dylan.

The actor, Charles Laughton never directed another movie after 'Night Of The Hunter' thanks to the bad reviews it recieved.

After watching 'The Last Boy Scout' I learned that Halle Berry has pretty much no talent and, outside of 'Monsters Ball' manages to deliver all of her performances in exactly the same way.

I learnt that the Emilio Estevez starrer 'Judgment Night' is a damn good film.

I also learnt that sadly, the sequel to 'Dungeons & Dragons' has been recently scrapped by the producer during the Pre-Production phase.

Rashomon bored the shit out of me pretty much. It was beautiful technically, but I wasnt much in love with anything other then the technical work on the movie.

Today I learned that John Wayne was origonally offered the role of Dirty Harry. But coulden't do it because of commitments to do several westerns.

Sorry if i'm like the last one to know this, but the idea of John Wayne playing Dirty Harry just blows my mind.

Jim Broadbent was in Time Bandits. He played the host of the popular gameshow Your Money or Your Life.

Incidentally, the kid from the movie (Craig Warnock) is still a working actor. Well, sometimes.

Today I learned that Bruce Campbell produced the worst movie I've ever seen. Hatred of a Minute. Is he blind???

Hatred of a Minute is extremely bad. But Campbell's commentary is gold. Only this time the false modesty isn't so false and the self-deprecation is earned.

I hope you didn't hate the movie so much that you skipped the commentary.

I learned to today that Shawnee Smith is in the upcoming horror movie Saw.

Which reminds me: Along with his other parts, Robert Shaw's knee was a shark snack.

Today? Nine.

Blackwoods, Bloodrayne, Bloodrayne 2, Far Cry, Heart of America, Postal, Sanctimony, Seed, Tunnel Rats + he also also showed up in Boll's recently produced Alone in the Dark 2, which means they actually worked together on 10 projects.

The strange thing is, when they would have sex, she would hang him up coat hanger on the back of their door.
