Speaking on when he jumped on bow ties but he’s just always sort of on it, right?

2024-11-28 04:17:26 +0000 UTCStanger was ahead of the curve. Accept it. I believe he always knows what’s up especially out of this three. Sorry love you all.

2024-04-06 17:29:46 +0000 UTCI believe Rade Šerbedžija's country of origin dissolved with Yugoslavia. I heard on Pod Casty For Me he was one of those go to guys to represent Soviet decrepitude as a kind of ambassador for capitalism but he's been nostalgic for Titoism in recent interviews- maybe just because economics across the board deteriorated.

2024-04-04 19:30:16 +0000 UTCI typically don’t comment but fuck, I had to finally say something…….this was one of those episodes (along with Hard Times, Miller’s Crossing, and I think Yakuza) where I had to stop the podcast and go watch the movie for the first time. What a fucking treat.

2024-04-02 07:18:46 +0000 UTCWow, that last scene in the Jaaaag. Does Hoskins have more lower teeth than humans?

2024-04-01 01:43:26 +0000 UTCI was a defender of true detective s2 but now that I’ve seen this I’m a lot less charitable towards it. Pizzolatto basically lifted this entire plot for Vince Vaughns storyline. Thanks ABZ for incrementally increasing my media literacy

2024-03-31 14:04:11 +0000 UTCMan I love to hear people sing the praises of Bob Hoskins. Truly a great actor. I highly recommend Felicia’s Journey. Hoskins is AMAZING in that.

2024-03-31 13:14:07 +0000 UTCAnyone else notice the criterion channel looking just better in general than other streamers? I'm no expert, but even if something isn't being upscaled by the TV, some streaming material still has that video-like too many frames a second cheap look, especially when the camera pans across static stuff. Haven't noticed this bummer on criterion, maybe confirmation bias

Andrew Braswell
2024-03-27 02:09:56 +0000 UTCWatched Peter Weir's The Plumber (1979) yesterday and was repeatedly distracted by the actor Robert Coleby because he looks exactly like Stanger. I've been on some medication lately, but I don't think I've lost my mind. It's a great little movie, too. youtube.com/watch?v=Bkz2JRwZ4Eg

Liz Arcury
2024-03-26 18:24:22 +0000 UTCDoug Flutie’s Florida home is in my hometown, Melbourne Beach! My parents still live there and we drive by his house all the time, the Batmobile is very visible lol. He talks to my dad when they see each other at the beach or either one of the only two local restaurants. We got all the behind the scenes about his Dancing with the Stars experience, he hated it and said they wanted him to participate in a fake dramatic “arc” and he refused 😂

Scott Tammel
2024-03-25 21:49:43 +0000 UTCI recently watched Once Upon a Time in Northern Ireland. I had some basic facts down about the troubles but this for me did a great job to kind of put you in the mindset of how it was if you lived in and around those times. Its a very personal look at The Troubles and I find it very illuminating. https://www.pbs.org/show/once-upon-time-northern-ireland/
Scott Tammel
2024-03-25 21:37:11 +0000 UTC"SHUT UP, YOU LONG STREAK OF PARALYZED PISS!" Great movie, great OST.
Stephen Navarrete
2024-03-25 21:36:25 +0000 UTCPlease accept my apology for shamefully commenting regarding Debt for the Enemy of the State episode. I'm filled with terror every time I comment and yet I still do it and I still mess up. Also, a good late career Hoskins is as the villain in Unleashed with Jet Li.
Arkady_84
2024-03-25 21:23:43 +0000 UTCAnyone else looking for a great Hoskins role check out Mona Lisa, IMO Neil Jordan's best movie and a classic lonely-loser-heartbroken-gangster movie.
David McElroy
2024-03-25 20:29:41 +0000 UTCI missed some of the details around Rodgers bringing up Brazil, but that's one of the movies I always think of when I think of Bob Hoskins. He has a great small part in that. And I loved him as J. Edgar Hoover in Nixon. Also not bad in Enemy at the Gates as Nikita Kruschev.
David Bauer
2024-03-25 19:54:35 +0000 UTCI'll have to check that out.
David Bauer
2024-03-25 19:53:09 +0000 UTCMy husband and I watched Quicksand a few years ago and were wildly disappointed. We were shocked there was a movie with both Keaton & Caine in it that we’d never heard of but after watching it we were like “oh, that’s why.” At the very least we were expecting the “we didn’t know how good we had it” feeling that the Boyz often discuss but sadly not. Has anyone else seen it?

Graham Parker
2024-03-25 18:44:22 +0000 UTCGreat book to check out about the Troubles is Say Nothing by Patrick Radden Keefe. It's about a decades-old murder-kidnapping that implicates some key members of the IRA, including people like Gerry Adams. Some of the figures mentioned in the book were clearly magnetic personalities within the IRA in the sixties and inspired multiple works of fiction. You can tell for example that both Natasha Richardson's character in The Crying Game and the red-haired Irish terrorist in Patriot Games are both inspired by the same real-life IRA activist who was implicated in the murder-kidnapping in Say Nothing. It's a great read if you want to learn more about the history of the region.
Eric Manch
2024-03-25 18:40:23 +0000 UTCNorthern Ireland is Church of England - Protestant. Ireland is a mostly Catholic country. It's sectarian violence. But also Ireland doesn't like England on their island
Chabnormal
2024-03-25 17:40:04 +0000 UTCFor me this movie is in the top 1% of ABZ movies. I'd never seen it until a couple of years ago when Tim Simons was hyping it up on twitter. I do think the plot is a little muddy in that what does it matter that Colin skimmed because the IRA guys who knew he skimmed immediately got murdered. It was the IRA pinning that murder on Harold that mattered I think. But who cares 5 stars.

2024-03-25 14:13:03 +0000 UTCRade Serbedzija broke through to international audiences and was cast in ‘The Saint’, ‘MI:II’, et al. because of his performance in a great movie called ‘Before the Rain’ that’s streaming on the Criterion Channel.

David McElroy
2024-03-25 12:32:38 +0000 UTCFor Stanger, "Unleashed," with Jet Li has Hoskins as a gangster co-lead and was pretty decent.
Christopher Davis
2024-03-25 12:09:15 +0000 UTCLoved this movie, watched it with the subtitles on because some of the British slang was hard to catch. And it clearly wasn’t just me. Whoever was in charge of the subtitles must have been American. Multiple times when people were talking, they just gave up and wrote [inaudible] for half the lines ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Sam Riebesehl (Reeb-Uh-Shell)
2024-03-25 12:08:04 +0000 UTCSay Nothing by Patrick Radden Keefe Great book about the troubles. The Audiobook is narrated by Matthew Blaney who has a beautiful Irish accent. Starts with the people who were “disappeared” by the IRA as a jumping-off point, but covers all of the Troubles.
VHSMIA
2024-03-25 12:02:12 +0000 UTCHoly shit, I watched this last night and it’s amazing. The amount of European actors in this who I’ve seen in a million things is crazy. Great movie.
