@BeAfraid_Movies I don't understand this policy of not identifying movies, or movie scenes, that are up for discussion.

@donwinslow I won't be able to read this book until pub date, but I do recall the tribulations of filming Black Rain, including having to build an entire fake Osaka on a Hollywood backlot. I wonder if 40 years on, the Japanese authorities are as inflexible as they were back then.

@danielholkss As believable as the thugs in "Death Wish," who searched around a subway car looking for an easy mark, and decided to go for ... Charles Bronson

[Joseph Angier @joeangier]

@trouserpress @PicturesFoIder I think so, but it's hard to keep up with these things

[Joseph Angier @joeangier]

@donwinslow I've always been VERY skeptical of the "Tommy Lee Jones improvised that line" story. I'm willing to be convinced otherwise if someone can show me the shooting script for that scene

[Joseph Angier @joeangier]

@TheOscarRace Absolutely the best!

[Joseph Angier @joeangier]

@mikemovies A slog that should have been a lot better. I was confused by it at first, but once I was able to follow its convoluted plot, I was even less impressed

@ATRightMovies Shall We Dance (Astaire/Rogers)

[Joseph Angier @joeangier]

@ATRightMovies I would have to say "2001," because if I saw it at the Capitol on opening day, I would have seen the additional 17 minutes that Kubrick edited out a few days after its premiere. Whether they were good, bad or indifferent, those 17 minutes are gone forever

@SaveArclight Sad sad sad. In my mind, this place just opened

@bartonovopolis How about Shoot the Piano Player, Brainstorm, Shot and That's Entertainment?

[Joseph Angier @joeangier]

@acroce66 Minus 10. The worst Scorsese film ever, and I've seen them all

@mikemovies As Time Goes By - Casablanca

@sarahjaeleiber On the other hand, I know lots of frat-boy Wall Street bros who like to sing Sondheim on the subway

[Joseph Angier @joeangier]

@howardrodman Excellent movie. I think about it often (even earlier today!)

[Joseph Angier @joeangier]

@sarahjaeleiber Cure you of wanting to run away with a doctor you just met at a train station?

[Joseph Angier @joeangier]

@sarahjaeleiber a word to the wise, Sarah. I dutifully kept every playbill and program w/o thinking of what that would mean decades hence. A bigger box? How about half the space in my home office/2nd bedroom. Now I look like I'm auditioning for Hoarders

[Joseph Angier @joeangier]

@sarahjaeleiber Are you talking about the songs or the movies?
