Yes Mickey played Buster in Rainmaker--another great sub-role Mickey had was The Mad Bomber in Body Heat (William Hurt and Kathleen Turner) but you must see Angel Heart, Barfly, Johnny Hansome, Wild Orchid, Homeboy, Diner and Rumblefish to really appreciate Mickey.

You should see Mickey as The Cook in Spun, danlo. Do not, however, bother seeing him in Domino. Not that he did bad, just that the directing is too attrocious to sit through and does nothing with the available talent (I'm not convinced about Knightley's talent one way or another, but even her... uh, obvious talents are marred by the director's vision).

I used to bus tables in a local restaurant. About 20 years ago. The waitresses were all a-flutter one evening, because Eric Roberts was dining there. I didn't know him yet, so I didn't even peek around the corner. Heh. Then I saw Best of the Best and By the Sword. (Is that the title? With F Murray Abraham.)

Yes, it's me. I think it has something to do with the fact that she's NOT PRETTY AT ALL. ;)

As for Eric Roberts, I'm pretty sure that he learned how to act from William Shatner. His over the top performances just kill me. I did like Best of the Best, though.

Heaven's Prisoners is a fave of mine. It strays a bit from the book, and Baldwin's physically wrong for the part, but I thought it was a great movie.

However, there's good naked and bad naked, and Teri Hatcher is definately bad naked...As in unattractive. Ever since Lois and Clark, I've never understood what all the fuss has been about this less-than-average-looking woman.

Agreed, although I will say she was a much better looking Lois Lane than Margot Kidder.

Poor, sad, blind fools. Sad times are these. Sad times!

And absolutely on the Roberts/Shatner connection! It's uncanny!

In the same vein as Best of the Best... Blind Fury... or almost any other Rutger Hauer pic.

Blind Fury kicked ass.

But how about The Hitcher?

Well, having walked the streets of New York City with you, I know that we share an appreciation for beautiful women, so I'll allow you Teri Hatcher as your one aberration.

Just don't let it happen again.

Well, since no one else will admit loving it I will...

one of the best awful movies of all time, and one that makes me laugh my head off every time I see it is...

South Park. my wife claims to dislike it and not understand why I find it funny, but laughs her head off when she does watch it.
