I really like the last scene where he's listening to The New Guy beating
his time and then crashing.

Interesting that Hackman has held up a lot better than Redford, isn't it?

Not really, Hackman is a far better and more versatile actor. During that
time period, Redford tried playing the antihero with an attitude. Most of
the time he just came across as an a******. Clint Eastwood has held up a lot
better as well. Can you imagine Redford as Dirty Harry. Besides Butch
Cassidy, one Redford movie I liked was the Electric Horseman. I guess
Redford's mark came with the Sundance Film Festival. The critics loved The
River runs through It, it put me to sleep.

Hey, 'Ballistic' wasn't THAT bad! With all Lucy Liu's skill, though,
it's amazing that she had to do so much shooting to kill so few people.

What exactly does Lucy Liu's "skill" have to do with shootin & killin?

;-)

Well, the movie didn't go into her legal expertise much... When
questioned about her arsenal, she said "Some women buy shoes." I liked
that.


Sheesh, you are lost. Lucy liu's "skill" is not legal expertise; it lies in
another, more visual, province altogether...

As for the shoes vs. guns arguement, I've bought more guns than shoes lately
- 1 gun (Springfield MilSpec 1911A1) this year vs. no shoes at all.

OK, I admit it, I am indeed lost and totally clueless. Spit it out, man!

How very nice for you.

Well, first I've got to have it in my mouth before I can spit it out.
Somehow, I doubt Lucy would cooperate. Oh well guess I just have to settle
for Zoey.

Its ok but its not like the Colt Gold Cups. Squeeze the trigger and it goes
bang then a hole apears in the paper - sometimes its even in the center. I'm
thinking a CZ 97 is next but am open to suggestion.

I really can't comment on people's taste in movies. After all I liked Animal
House, The Holy Grail and Space Balls.

I'm guessing you live here in Tennessee too. Yeehaw!

Me too, except I haven't seen space balls. My husband claims that his
student house was the model for Animal House. It could be true.

Yesterday's miserable movie: Tape. Two guys and Uma Thurman talking one
another to death in a motel room in realtime. THEY got to go to the
bathroom without hitting 'pause' but I didn't.

A movie currently running on cable for all you Dave Barry fans is
based on a novel of his "Big Trouble." Very, very funny movie with a
wonderful cast bringing Dave's writing to life in what could have been
titled "Dave Barry Saves the World, Sorta!" HIghly recommended for
yucks. ;-)
