KURT RUSSELL WILL KILL YOU WHEN HE GETS BACK

Vanilla Sky (what?)

he was the prison psychiatrist to mangled murderous cruise.

I blocked most of that movie out.

ps I don't care which one is Sofia, just kill her.

Except for the whole part with Cameron Diaz screaming, "I SWALLOWED your CUM!!!" which years of therapy has yet to erase from my brane.

i have GOT to see that gilligan's island

no Used Cars, no credibility

That moment with Cameron Diaz was one of the greatest things ever caught on film. It's too bad that it happened in "Vanilla Sky", though.

i wanted to vote for tombstone but got distracted by the barefoot executive

Kurt Russell is probably my favorite man.

Kurt in cheap polyester suit and bespectacled, wild mane tamed by half quart of 10w30 motor oil, in the brothel looking for a Chinese girl with GREEN EYES. Where was the fucking Oscar for this??

CAPTAIN RON

^^^cant remember if this or Dr. Hollywood was the first moview i saw boobies in.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Over the past couple of months, Variety has reported that Hollywood is remaking The Thing and now Escape From New York. What's your take on that?
KURT RUSSELL: *Laughs* They're remaking everything I've ever done.

Some people are really attached to those movies.
Yeah, I think that's what happens to people as they get older, they get territorial and proprietary about these things. However, I will say that when I was told who was going to play Snake Plissken, my initial reaction was ''Oh, man!'' [Russell winces]. I do think that character was quintessentially one thing. And that is, American.

What other films of yours have been remade?
They remade a couple of Disney films that I made — Kirk Cameron did The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes. They made Backdraft into two television series, Rescue Me and Third Watch, both of which I never saw. They did Stargate.

But messing with Snake Plissken is a whole different level of heresy...
People come up to me and say, ''You played Snake Plissken.'' I didn't play Snake Plissken, I created him! Goldie *Hawn* and I were talking the other day about this, and I said, ''Man, this is weird, isn't it?'' And she said, ''When they were going to do a remake of Private Benjamin, I thought, 'I didn't play Private Benjamin, I created that role!''' I did Wyatt Earp — there's only been 50 of those. But I'll tell you what, I'll put my Wyatt Earp up against anybody's. I'll put my MacCready [his character in The Thing] up against anybody's.

What if they asked you to do a cameo in the new Escape from New York, or play the Ernest Borgnine role?
F--- that! I am Snake Plissken! It's like Sean Connery always watching someone else do their version of Bond. I think one of the things, for instance, about Escape From New York that appealed to me was that it wasn't a special effects extravaganza. It's a quiet, dark world and it revolved around watching the behavior of this one guy. He's a fascinating character. In fact, he's the most complex character I've ever played.

Big Trouble in Little China

more complex than captain ron? seems impossible.

Hollow?
Hollow.
FUCK IT.

Big Trouble in Little China

Yes.

You will come out no more.
WHAT, huh? WHAT'll come out no more!?!

o shit i voted death proof on instict but i totally forgot about captain ron!!

I am just going to start yelling "FUCK THAT! I AM SNAKE PLISSKEN" in bars.

omg that interview - so awesome

I can't pick one, his string with Carpenter are all unfuckwithable

BTiLC.

when my roommate finally got the DVD, we kept watching the scene where he fumbles with a tech nine pistol before he finally gets the safety off , it fires, and scares the shit of him. We'd click thru it on frame-advance and laugh our asses off.

WHEN WILL MORBIUS INFORM US OF WHETHER OR NOT HE HAS VIEWED CAPTAIN RON

no, I mean black blood of the earth

totally vote for this:

yeah where is used cars? another great one. he was great in silkwood too. and swing shift.

He was better in Used Cars than Used Cars was overall and it was a pretty darned sweet movie.

it's too hard for me to choose between escape and the thing, so i won't vote.

ooh he is good in Silkwood, totally forgot about that!

can someone make me some Kurt Russell wallpapers with the man himself and like heart and rainbows?

Wait, are we discussing Kurt Russell or a Sea Pony?

When somebody asks if you've paid your dues, you just tell 'em what ol' Jack Burton says:
THE CHECK IS IN THE MAIL.

i want those wallpapers too!

Kurt Russell bringin ILX together

grrrrr

OH THOSE SNEAKY REDIRECTING BASTARDS

THATS NOT KURT RUSSEL THATS EVIL KEINIVEL

http://mylittleponycollector.com/info/year_659.jpg

Which one is Kurt Russell? Seashore?

so glad that jpg is compressed to hell. my 56k modem is luvin' u

FOAMY

Seawinkle?

I think Seawinkle might be Sean Bean.

Is that a death proof car that Seashore is in?

Hey to it's credit you also get to see Tom Cruise fuck up his face beyond recognition.

...and attempt suicide!

I haven't seen the movie, so is she all like, "Ooooh la la, I drank your cum, ooooh yeah baby," or was she all "OMG I DRANK YOUR CUM WTF????"

Yes.

Neither. It's this speech about how sex is soooo special, and now that they've had sex he should be hers forever. Because she's crazy. And then she drives off an overpass and kills herself and maims Cruise.

if only that had happened in real life

I KNOW

This movie sounds great. Is Bruce Willis in it?

http://www.moviesoundscentral.com/sounds/vanilla_sky/cum.wav

Okay so it WAS during the car scene! I thought so but was afraid I was conflating things.

Srsly she was awesome in that movie.

(Sadly, the movie isn't great, largely because there is too much Cruise/Cruz action in it; had it had more Diaz/Jason Lee it would have been way better.)

had it been blown up killing everyone except kurt russell it would have been the best movie ever not made because of a fatal explosion

hahaha milo

I think maybe that should go on my Myspace page, as an endless loop

seriously it's such a horrendous piece of garbage I can't believe you're all still talking about it except I guess it's better grist for the mill than repeatedly discussing how totally fucking awesome Tombstone and BTiLC are

it's such a horrendous piece of garbage

O
T
M

Bruce Willis should've played Tom Cruise. And then he could've said "yippie ki yay motherfucker" at the end when he jumped off the roof!

Hey was Vanilla Sky filmed on your school's campus or something?

http://moviesoundscentral.com/sounds/tombstone/bleed.wav

I'm really hoping that cameron crowe secretly lost all of his money somewhere and will never be able to make another movie again

The movie was terrible but I thought Cameron and Jason did as well as they could with it. Also that line is one of the funniest things ever.

Cameron Crowe is a horrible horrible filmmaker

bruce willis wouldn't have even cared if he was disfigured.

Less emo angst + more homicidal testosterone would vastly improve "Vanilla Sky", yes.

"OMG I DRANK YOUR CUM WTF????"

Someone else can attach the approriate cat photo.

how long before we get lolporn?

"I IZ A RUNAWAY"

"I HAZ DADDY ISHEWS"

"LOL I HAS TO WEAR STOCKING BECUZ I CUT MYSELF"

Morbs iz crazy, BTiLC is the third-greatest movie of all time.

I wish "surprisingly good third baseman for the Portland Mavericks" was a choice, that would be the only serious contender for my vote. And I think Kurt Russell is generally great in everything.

OMG this from Wikipedia:

son of actor and former minor leaguer Bing Russell, he went on to star in movies including "Silkwood" (1983), "Swing Shift" (1984), and "Tequila Sunrise" (1988) after his baseball career ended. In fact, the lead role in the movie "Bull Durham" was written with Russell in mind, but the studio insisted on Kevin Costner instead.

SAD STORY

at that time every male lead was written for russell fyi

Of all the millions of possible realities why do we have to live in this one!?!

xpost

recent spot-on eval of J. Carpenter (by Dave Kehr, I think): "a style in search of a story."

that's true of most of the more "auteur"-y directors, though. DePalma and Cronenberg come to mind first.

what, no elvis?

torn between snake plissken and jack burton. plissken's iconic. but burton... it was a suave move to deflate his tough guy image in a such an enjoyable way.

maybe I should watch btilc to help me decide, haven't seen it in years.

recent review of using someone else's hoity-toity film analysis to justify one's lame zingers by me: lame

recent review of what I just typed: also lame

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

these results are right and proper.

Judging by the pic waaay up top, he would've made an excellent Wolverine.

wow, yeah! indeed!

http://www.moviesoundscentral.com/sounds/vanilla_sky/cum.wav

nerd vote in "getting zero votes" shocker!

stargate was pretty cool

wut no overboard?!

eejits.

I love him in:

Escape from New York (1981)/Escape from L.A. (1996)
Used Cars (1980)
Miracle (2004) (perfect accent; his "dis is ur time" speech was later sampled by Minnesota rappers Unknown Prophets)
Breakdown (1997) and Executive Decision (1996) (these regular-guy-action-hero parts are harder than they look)
Elvis (1979) (also played voice of Elvis in Forrest Gump, ugh; probably resulted in 3000 Miles to Graceland, ugh ugh)
Grindhouse (2007)

I'll have to rent these again, but I never remember disliking him:

Tequila Sunrise (1988)
Big Trouble in Little China (1986) (wow, was it really that good?)
Stargate (1994)
Silkwood (1983)
The Thing (1982)
Vanilla Sky (2001)
Captain Ron (1992)
Unlawful Entry (1992)
Tombstone (1993)

He couldn't make me like:

3000 Miles to Graceland (2001)
Backdraft (1991)

And I missed the rest...
