Backboard hit and run...

Posted by David (aka David) Jun 7 '18, 10:04

1) Congrats, Jorge! That's *incredible*!
2) Warrior was in my top 5 for that year, although I actually (slightly) prefer Edgerton to Hardy in it.
3) The Peacemaker *is* great. It was one of my go-tos back in the days of HDNet Movies.
4) Ocean's 11 is in the conversation for the best movie of the 2000s.
5) I was just telling Hunting the other day how much I love Ocean's 13. The scene that shows the gambling losses per table is inspired. It's a wonderful way to demonstrate the risk a casino carries literally every second.
6) I've seen 35 Clooney films (including the TV movie, Fail/Safe)

Responses:

Oh, there is a Fail/Safe film made with Clooney? I wonder if I can find it.. (NM) - Marlowe Jun 7, 11:03 2
- It was a made for tv event and has a *spectacular* cast. -- (link) - David Jun 7, 11:33 1
  - I'll try to find it. The original is brilliant shit. (NM) - Marlowe Jun 7, 11:38

- Congrats! Your hard work yielded...more work!! You will do great things -- nm - Epiphany Jun 7, 11:07
- Belated congrats! -- nm - Strongbad Jun 7, 11:04
- Eh, it was just Paul Rudd -- nm - Roger More Jun 7, 10:33
And in trying to make a stab at seeing whose movies I've seen the most of, I realized that Gene Hackman retired in 2004. -- nm - Reagen Jun 7, 10:11 34
- Is there an easy way to do that, I wonder? (NM) - Marlowe Jun 7, 11:07 2
  - Just announce you'll stop showing up for work -- the caveat, you have to have been working for long enough for that to matter. -- nm - Will Hunting, King of Blood Feud Jun 7, 11:21 1
    - That works, but what about counting how many movies I have seen per actor? (NM) - Marlowe Jun 7, 11:24
- Tom Hanks: 35, Samuel L Jackson: 40 (not including the Marvel movies). - Dignan Jun 7, 10:41 19
  - Looks like it's Tom Hanks for me.. Already forgot the number.. (NM) - Marlowe Jun 7, 11:37
  - Clint Eastwood, 29 for me -- nm - Roger More Jun 7, 11:22
  - Oh, and 35 for Matt Damon. nm - Dignan Jun 7, 11:10 13
    - Ha ha, you sat through Gerry. -- nm - Roger More Jun 7, 11:12 2
      - I did not, and I'll fight anyone who claims otherwise. nm - Dignan Jun 7, 11:15
      - I'll defend that to the end of time. -- nm - Reagen Jun 7, 11:13
    - Bruce Willis is my clubhouse leader at 37. -- nm - Reagen Jun 7, 11:11 8
      - 43! nm - Dignan Jun 7, 11:14 7
        
        Or wait, John Cazale. -- nm* - Reagen Jun 7, 11:21 3
        
        That guy had good taste. (NM) - Marlowe Jun 7, 11:26
        
        *checks Jake Lloyd's IMDb page* -- nm - Roger More Jun 7, 11:26
        
        For percentage, yeah. nm - Dignan Jun 7, 11:25
        
        Percentage wise, it's probably Tom Cruise. - Reagen Jun 7, 11:19 2
        
        He's probably my number one at 30+. Can't come close with anyone else. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Jun 7, 11:38
        
        35/42. Wow. nm - Dignan Jun 7, 11:24
    - I'm actually surprised he's been in that many. -- nm - Will Hunting, King of Blood Feud Jun 7, 11:11
  - 29 non-Nick Fury. Is that low? It feels low. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Jun 7, 10:53 1
    - For a guy who's been in roughly one out of every four movies made in the past thirty years, yeah, it's low. nm - Dignan Jun 7, 10:58
  - SLJ was surprisingly "low" for me. -- nm - Reagen Jun 7, 10:46
- Payne tried his damnedest to get Hackman out of retirement for Nebraska, but no dice. He's in his late-80's now, so I think he's done. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Jun 7, 10:38 9
  - And fair enough. It's just so rare to see someone totally walk away absent some major health problem. -- nm - Reagen Jun 7, 10:39 8
    - Connery did the same. It used to be fairly commonplace in Hollywood, no? -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Jun 7, 10:48 1
      - There was the occasional Greta Garbo or Cary Grant but lots of the big names worked right to their death bed. -- nm - Reagen Jun 7, 10:51
    - A lot of the older actors don't like admitting that it gets tougher to memorize lines and lose weight to get camera ready as time passes. - Diva Jun 7, 10:42 5
      - Just be more like Brando - Will Hunting, King of Blood Feud Jun 7, 10:58 4
        
        The stories from the set of The Score and Doctor Moreau sound insane. -- nm - Reagen Jun 7, 10:59 2
        
        Hell, Apocalypse Now was insane and that was 20 years before those - Will Hunting, King of Blood Feud Jun 7, 11:04
        
        Brando opened up a whole new world of crazy for Johnny Depp. -- nm - Diva Jun 7, 11:03
        
        ohmygoodness... -- nm - Diva Jun 7, 10:59
- Welcome to Mooseport! -- nm - Remlik Jun 7, 10:31
31 if I get to count that then. -- nm - Reagen Jun 7, 10:08
