Obviously there is no mercenary interests involved by and making so many of them,they are striving for perfection. :)
Btw same holds true for the Burton inspired Batman series,Alien,Die Hard,Lethal Weapon and Jaws but not stuff like Friday the 13th and Halloween which how somehow confounded logic and always been near perfect.:)

It would only take slight editing to change that video into a black pimp fighting for his teenage property from an ambitious Russian mob branch.Quote:

For your information there are many other jobs that African Americans can hold down,like professional basketball player or inner city drug dealer or member of Justin Bieber's inner circle or the first person to die in horror movies.
He's obviously way too old for any of those jobs. Actually, he's getting too old to play a convincing black anymore. :no:Quote:

We should be thankful that they didn't turn it into a comedy starring Ben Stiller .Quote:

Fuck it, I'm in....
The Bedford Incident.
And in first equal place.... a movie from the same year, 1965....
The Flight of the Phoenix.
Interesting choice on the Bedford Incident although if I remember correctly you have previously displayed interest in The Cold War.Quote:

I appreciate the fact that you like adventure movies though .I don't know if you noticed but most all the other spastics here only seem to like something if it involves bad triumphing over good and/or Mads Mikkelsen or in Mary's case, pig rape.
You're underplaying schoolgirl rape. I still have that movie with the full intention of showing it to guests. I've had plenty of people over, but I keep forgetting that I have this piece of entertainment. Could you be a doll and reference it more frequently, like, in the main threads?Quote:

IKR, as truly stupid as he is, he almost makes sentence-like things on the screen. Sometimes.
It's almost as if Dion had a son with a severely retarded woman, then that son also bred with the mother. Then it played with a gun and got a bullet lodged in the creative portion of its brain- but somehow figured out how to make rambling, all-lowercase posts.
Nature just has a way of not letting some pitiful creatures die painlessly. :idunno:
Awwwww...... do you need a tissue?Quote:

Actually on the subject of your last poast in this thread, it is kind of funny that you can't get past Charlton Heston being a Western actor, being that his seminal works are The Planet of the Apes and Ben Hur. Richard Widmark in The Bedford Incident, was superb as the overzealous warship commander.
If you want an actor that it's hard to get past his Western acting origins, it's Lee Van Cleef, all the way through his scenes in Escape from New York I was looking for the shot glass of red eye whisky and the six shooter on his hip.
The main reason why I don't post in these sections very much is a general malaise from the overwhelming flood of spamtards defecating all over these forum sections, with single sentence (if you are lucky) posts that have little or no relevance to the title or general discussion.
I never said that I couldn't get past Heston as a "Western" actor.I just, like Widmark or Adam Sandburg, tend to find him personally grating.Honestly off the top of my head I can't think of one Western Heston starred in.When I think Heston if I think of anything it's Biblical epics.
Sadly some people who just strike youand Hitlerthe wrong way and that's why we have violence to deal with such incongruities.
On the other hand,some people you can't help but like,I would say another "Bedford" actor,Sidney Poitier,to be among them.
Strangely this may have nothing to do with reality as for all I know Widmark was an angel among men and Poitier the opposite.
I'd also like to point out the obvious "problem" with this thread.No one,not even me,cares what is someone's favourite movie.The interesting part is not the "what" but the "why" and here I'm talking beyond technical aspects of and looking at personally motivating factors.
For example,Meg likes The Good,The Bad and The Ugly and Oldboy because he has a pretty big gun fetish and never tires of watching people die.
The difference between Widmark and Heston in your scenario is that Charlton Heston played the hero, in so many of Widmark's films he was the villain, and he cultivated an edgy angst ridden bad boy, which made him far more than a 2 dimensional baddy like so many others. In many ways The Bedford Incident was a perfect vehicle for his acting style, but as you mention the supporting cast was excellent as well. Sidney Poitier was out of his comfort zone, an arrogant hard hitting photo journalist, out for the next sensational story, but with great performances too by Eric Portman as the U-boat ace and Martin Balsam as the ship's Doctor on a ship that did not need one.
What makes The Bedford Incident a memorable movie for me is the development of the characters, and the complex building of tensions between them. These days movies are all about the next adrenalin rush, or fear response with little thought to the characters and how they interact, there is very little subtext to the story just a bucket load of explosions, thousands of rounds of ammo expended, and an unnecessarily long winded amount of CGI effects.
And now, after this brief word from our sponsors, it's back to spastic one line sentences with little to no context......
Oldies are always great. how about 'Blonds have more fun' (1979)
