Cail's got a man crush, Cail's got a man crush..... :lol: ;)

Re: Patrick Swayze. I really liked To Wong Foo Thanks For Everything, Julie Newmar. But I think that's the only thing of his I ever liked.

The best thing that Patrick Swayze was ever in was the SNL skit with Chris Farley, where the two of them are auditioning for Chippendales.

That was one of the funniest things I've ever seen.


And I do not!

You mean kind of like what happened to Blaine Edwards on In Living Color, only turn you gay instead of straight?

I loved Blake Edwards and thought all the Pink Panther movies were underrated!

To Wong Fu was pretty darn funny as was the SNL skit mentioned above....

Cail TOTALLY has a man crush! That's so sweet.

I'm trying to think of a good film role of Harmon's but can't. He was good as the Secret Service agent in The West Wing though.

Say something bad about either The Presidio or Stealing Home.

I'll grant you, his best work has been on TV......Moonlighting, St.Elsewhere, Reasonable Doubts, Charlie Grace, West Wing, NCIS.

The Presidio is good. I was thinking more about the movie where he was a subsitute teacher..."Spring Break" maybe? Ick.


Good as Ted Bundy, so he was.

Roadhouse has my favorite fight scene ever! None of that crap where one guy knocks down the other, then turns his back to brag or something, gets hit in the head with a huge rock, which makes the other guy turn his back and brag, giving the rock-bashed guy time to get up, pick up half his skull and put it back into place, say "That all you got?"................

Roadhouse's fight was pure hatred. All out. Every moment was one guy trying his best to wipe the other out of existence. Both were hurt realistically; they were hurt and slowed, but knew they would be dead immediately if they stopped for an instant to rub it or catch their breath or anything.
All lies and jest

Doh! I forgot about Stealing Home, and you're right, that's a very good movie indeed! I vaguely remember The Presidio.....

Cail is of questionable sexuality!

No, that didn't make me feel better. Thanks for the offer though, Cail.

I am going to get crucified for these two comments:

Monty Python's Knights of the Holy Grail - silliness isn't funny, it's silly.

Soylent Green. The revelation of this movie doesn't make any sense; it seems the whole movie is set up for the revelation, including abandoning logic or realism for it.
