Thomas Hayes said:Look, I said it on the first page alreadyβthe first two movies are absolute classics. After that? It all goes downhill fast. That's just how it works with sequels.
Yeah... I'll admit it. When I was a kid, Charles Bailey2 was my ultimate hero. Then I actually read up on him and realized what a depressed wreck he really was. Even back when he was still at his peak, he had this unmatched charisma. I find myself quoting his line all the time: "I'm just a decent guy with a cold beer in my hand."

Any recommendations?
It was alrightβnothing mind-blowing, really. I mostly just remember some of the sex scenes and a few clever bits.

Any recs?
It's got the erotic stuff, plus that specific Southern grit.

*The Good, the Bad and the Ugly* is easily the most powerful film produced in post-war American cinema, purely because of how it uses satire and metaphor to show just how badly we've screwed things up. Iβd throw *A Few Good Men* into that mix tooβthat movie and Al Pacino's performance on the stand are absolute masterpieces that highlight the total mess we live in. And don't even get me started on *Platoon*.

Even back in his Zelig days, he had that unmatched charismaβit was something else. I still find myself quoting his line about being nothing more than a decent guy with a beer in his hand every once in a while.
Did you ever hear about how he stole Duckie's wife from Naywcis?

they'd probably just remake it using virgin olive oil or some pork lard instead. π

In my book, Marlon Brando is hands down the greatest actor to ever do itβthough Iβd probably put Al Pacino and Jack Nicholson right up there behind him

That's Cook, looking younger. π
I've always been a fan of King's stories.
