I know a guy who'll dispose of a body for twenty bucks and a carton of Pall Malls.   Want his number?

Well, Crichton has been dead for three years - so it was inevitable that the quality of his work would decline...

Micro, to be fair, was only partially completed upon Crichton's death and Richard Preston finished it.  I like Preston's non-fiction, but haven't read any of his novels.

Awww, we forgot to do the thing.  I blame Christmas.

I wish more people would recognize that they are fans of mine.  Their lives would be so much better.

Seriously, thanks man.  You actually own more of my movies than I do.

Nor would mine, because I've never seen one.  I've got no aversion to them, just haven't gotten around to them.

Sadly, this is an actual campaign ad:

Also sadly, this isn't:

I continue to suggest it with annoying frequency, I believe the others would testify to that. 

As a result, I think it's getting close to the top of the to-do list... or maybe they're just humoring me.

As I said on Twitter - they shouldn't be allowed to reboot Troopers when I still have perfectly wearable crew t-shirts from the original. 

On the other hand, all my Blob t-shirts are gone, so that one's fair game.  And fun fact, I discovered a mint condition Batman Returns "penguin puppeteer" t-shirt recently, it ended up in a box long ago and I just never wore it.  So knock it off, Nolan, you're disqualified after all.   

It also made me realize that whenever we talk about doing "Trey" movies, I never seem to remember I worked on that one.  Even though I spent weeks in a refrigerated soundstage with Christopher Walken, Tim Burton, and Danny deVito, along with a hundred penguins in battle armor.  Good times.

I dunno, I can think of a few...

Sixteen-Sided Die Hard
Eat Shit and Die Hard
Tie-Dye Hard (aka The Young McClane Adventures)
Die Fledermaus Hard

And Cutthroat Island, let's not forget.

Of course he's done other movies since Dracula, but for whatever reason he didn't become a movie star like it seemed he was gonna.  Instead he became a That Guy.

Same here.  Saw it in the theater when it came out, at least several times on video... I remember Oldman's weird old-lady beehive hairdo, and the shadow-puppet stuff, and... uhh... okay.

Haven't seen that one in a very long time either, but I remember Langela being really good.  He'd been doing the play on Broadway and the movie turned him from a stage star to a movie star... or seemed like it would, except he never really did anything as high-profile as that again.

The other things I remember most are John Williams' crazy romantic score, and one particular scene that scared the f*ck outa me.  Just thinking about it gives me the creeps, though I wonder if it would have the same effect on me if I saw it now.

And it's shaping up to be a bloodbath.

I've long been on record as wanting to do that one, if only just to encourage more people to see it.   

That, and Silent Running, Dern it.
