Yay

He is awesome.

He's Molly Johnson's brother! His laid-back commmentary, btw, on the Wire DVD is really funny, coming after David Simon's egoncentrism.

Ego-centrism

Egon Schiele?

― adam.r.l. (nordicskilla), Friday, 11 February 2005 21:06 (twenty years ago)

Egon Spengler.

I was looking for this thread on Friday. I'm super-excited.

― Huk-L, Monday, 4 April 2005 19:23 (twenty years ago)

Am I the only who saw this?
It was really, really good. Best Cdn TV movie I've ever seen. AND, it left lost of dangling plot threads so I hope it becomes a series of movies.

Clark Johnson was in almost every frame.

You didn't come here to hunt, did you?

Murderers lie cuz they got to, witnesses lie because they think they got to, and everybody else lies for the sheer joy of it.

five months pass...

I saw Clark Johnson in Toronto today! Queing up outside the Varsity cinema. He was wearing a wicked sky-blue felt hat.

That is all.

― Chuck_Tatum (Chuck_Tatum), Monday, 12 September 2005 19:23 (twenty years ago)

I idolize you, Chuck.

seven months pass...

Why didn't anybody tell me The Sentinel was a Clark Johnson picture??? I had to read all the way to the last or second last paragraph of Ebert's review to find out.

one month passes...

I saw The Sentinel last night. It was okay, very well done, but sort of lacking. A very typical Michael Douglas "I made some very poor choices and now people are trying to kill me" movie. It's a lot better than SWAT, but nowhere near as good as any of the TV stuff Johnson's directed.
HOWEVER, I NEARLY PLOTZED AT THE LINE "SO THE BEAR SAYS TO THE GUY, 'YOU DIDN'T COME HERE TO HUNT, DID YOU?'"

It'll make me so happy if that becomes Johnson's directorial trademark.

― Stephen X (Stephen X), Tuesday, 6 June 2006 14:33 (nineteen years ago)

Another thing I liked about it is that Johnson really made Toronto look awesome, AND let Toronto stand in for Toronto.

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Tuesday, 6 June 2006 14:48 (nineteen years ago)

Do you think it qualifies as the Great Toronto Film? At least until For Better or For Worse: The Musical gets made?

― Stephen X (Stephen X), Tuesday, 6 June 2006 14:58 (nineteen years ago)

I think it'll be seen as the John the Baptist of Toronto films. Someone else will make a big-budget movie ENTIRELY set in Toronto someday because of the climax of The Sentinel.

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Tuesday, 6 June 2006 15:02 (nineteen years ago)

Jesus of Toronto!

― Stephen X (Stephen X), Tuesday, 6 June 2006 15:08 (nineteen years ago)

What is a good Toronto movie? (That's set in Toronto, that is.) (Last Night doesn't count.)

― Chuck_Tatum (Chuck_Tatum), Tuesday, 6 June 2006 19:23 (nineteen years ago)

Why doesn't Last Night count?

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Tuesday, 6 June 2006 19:26 (nineteen years ago)

And to answer yr question, not to get too Clark Johsnon fanboyyish, Tripping the Wire: A Stephen Tree Mystery is a TV movie, but it's really good.

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Tuesday, 6 June 2006 19:28 (nineteen years ago)

Last Night doesn't count 'cause, I dunno, even people who live outside of Toronto know it's a Toronto film. (Obv. it is good.)
