Is he any better than Schoop?

Enough.

And he can sing a mean "We Are Family" too.

Wow. Not bad for not looking it up.

W/ me, it's not the contrast w/ fantasy and the real world. I just do not like the end result of his films since Unbreakable. I think, as I and tgreg99 stated, he did get caught up in customizing his films to fit his "shocking endings". He certainly has talent, which is why I hold out hope that he'll just make a good film. As for the original idea remark, I am a fan of guys like Mark Pellington (Arlington Road and The Mothman Prophecies were both terrific), PT Anderson (Boogie Nights is a work of art and Magnolia is right up your alley by being unusual but very good), and, of course, the Cohens (I own just 'bout everything they've done; I think The Man Who Wasn't There is VERY underrated). None of them would qualify as run of the mill Hollywood directors.

Crimson Tide was alright, but too similar in tone to the Hunt For Red October (not identical in plot) for me. The Firm was perhaps the worst of the Grisham novels converted to film. I still haven't seen Runaway Jury, but I'm sure I will @ one point. I remember watching the A&E Biography they did of Hoffman where they mentioned the two were roommates before. They even mentioned how Hoffman was rooting for Hackman to win the Oscar over him when they competed against each other (Hoffman won for Rain Man; Hackman was nominated for Mississippi Burning). Oh, and in the "don't forget" category, did anyone mention Hackman's Oscar wininng peformance in Unforgiven, or his hilarious role in The Birdcage?

I never saw it. Maybe I didn't miss anything.

Just as long as he's stopped writing endings first, then trying to write an entire script to go w/ it. That was getting tired.

Depending on who I'm talking to, I could be considered old or young. I have the best of both worlds. Yipee.

Oh no, I really liked Unbreakable. I thought everything afterward was progressively worse. Signs was a bit of a disappointment, The Village was an even bigger letdown, and that Lady in the Water was an atrocity. If I missed any others...........thank God.

I... ....but what am I?

Or The Conversation, which is a vastly underrated film. It's one of the best films of the 1970s, which was one of the best decades in terms of movies.

Hopefully this one won't be as crappy as his last few "films" have been. Seems like he's done nothing but go downhill since The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable.

I'm listening to that song now via the iPod. I have the Black Sunday CD on here also.

I really like that song on the Judgment Night soundtrack they did w/ Cypress Hill.

Budweiser

He's the Jerry Seinfeld of radio.

I had an SCI clearance when I was in the Air Force. Needed it just to be able to get into the site I worked @. It took me months for my clearance to go through while I worked answering phones in our unit First Sgt's office. The badge looks okay on a resume, but it didn't get me any jobs once I got out of the military.

Ouch.

I listened to a bit of the interview while I was @ lunch. Pretty good stuff.

110 days and counting!!!!

You weren't there @ 6am.

Hey, that was my answer. Guess you don't own the Neil Diamond album either.

Sidney, you're my boy and all, but I honestly couldn't care any less of what Adam Schein thinks.

Sorry, but I cannot go along w/ the angry mob on this one. For all the talk of Buffalo having such a loyal fanbase, someone needs to explain to me how this very small market team (Green Bay) can continue to be successful and the Bills continue to struggle. Is the Green Bay community that much RICHer than the Buffalo area? I do believe that if the Packers needed to sell the naming rights to Lambeau (haha!!), they would do so.
