I could watch Ian McShane and Peter Stormare chew scenery for hours, and the stuff in Chicago was absolutely awesome (although the Russian was garbage, as per usual). Crispin Glover and Gillian Anderson are amazing, and so is Corbin Bernsen as Vulcan. Overall, it's strong, but even more than that, it's strongly weird.

That's a lot of actors who were famous 20-30 years ago. :mellow:

So old decaying gods/celebrities. perfect casting! :D

Logan (2017)

I have long believed that no one was ever going to beat the shoot-out in the maternity ward in Hard Boiled for an over the top action sequence.  This film might not quite do that, but it comes close; it's final action sequence features:

1.)  An 11 year old girl with a pistol (yes, I know what Goddard said, but I think he meant a young woman, not a child.)
2.)  A daddy-daughter killing spree (aww :wub:)
3.)  Black ops soldiers chasing down a chubby kid (run, chubby kid, run!)

I wasn't a fan of the ending [spoiler]I think it would have been more poignant if Wolverine had drifted off like Shane[/spoiler], but otherwise it was a fine action film.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

That's a lot of smack from someone in the sticks who still has BEE KIND REWIND stickers all over his used VHS collection from the defunct Blockbuster Video before it became a karate studio.

No smack intended.  I just found it odd how all those names had that in common.  I mean I didn't know Corbin Bernsen was even still alive.

To be honest, I'd have said the same of Peter Stormare.

Crispin Glover I thought was still alive, but I was pretty sure his career was dead.

Dude, I wasn't wishing him dead or anything.

Actually, I think I mixed him up with Peter Postlethwaite.

Anyone see season 2 of The Last Kingdom?

I tried watching The Man in the High Castle. Dull. Only interesting characters are Nazis and the Jap secret policeman.

That's what I've been saying.  :)

The "heroes" are boring as hell, and painful to watch.

You should try to hold up for S2 though...lot's more alt-history Nazi Reich pr0n.  :P

Yeah, I agree.  The heroes aren't even very likable.  They just sort of exist.  I did like the Japanese secret policeman though.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011
