WHO IS KEYSER SOZE: The Usual Suspects character poll and general discussion thread because I swear to allah I searched and couldn't find one...?!?!

This was inspired by the great lead performances in terrible films thread by the way... not that I agree fully (on either claim) but would definitely not argue against.

Benicio easy. Enjoy Pollak a lot too.

Maybe Stephen Baldwin's best performance ever?

this is a pretty stupid movie

dunno if anybody in it really does a GREAT job

Whose accent is more WTF: BdT or PP?

i love this movie i can't help it

They shoulda got someone better than Gabby Byrne.

Maybe Stephen Baldwin's best performance ever?

Yes, it was perfect casting.

I remember Christopher Mcquarrie saying that every script he wrote in his early years had a character written with BDT in mind.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

lol, barely remember starting this poll wtf

voted BDT, but wanted to give some props to my man Pete Postlethwaite

can't let my hate for 00's spacey dissuade me from voting verbal kint

They shoulda got someone better than Gabby Byrne.

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

I can't believe anyone saw this a second time

c'mon

bdt + pete p. + nick tortelli = hollywood magic

nick tortelli

I call him "Dick"

(best movie/TV Nixon after Jason Robards)

Morbz otm

There was somebody in front of me at a stoplight today with the license plate "KZR SOZE." So it turns out he's very real, and he's driving a white car and living in west Toronto. I was hoping to sidle up to him at the next stop and give him a thumbs-up or some such inanity, but before I could he made a right and went grocery shopping.

and just like that, poof..

Twist endings that do/don't completely obviate the whole rest of the story - started this one after seeing this flick for the first (and still only) time.

i was really confused when i clicked on this thread like "people voted on who they think keyser soze is, and they picked fenster!?"

now THAT would have been a better twist!

flip ya flip ya for real

i love this movie i can't help it

otm

doesn't hurt that it came out when i was 14 and on a bit of a mid-90s crime-movie sugar-rush

i blame pulp fiction, and i'm sure ol morbsy does too

I saw this when I was maybe in late high school or early lollege; revisited for the first time in maybe 12+ years and lol at me.

helped me understand the name of this rappe whos music I've never actually heard

this is one of those movies that seems really awesome when you're thinking back on it, but while you're actually watching it you're like 'this is it?'

Otm

best performance in the movie belongs to peter greene as redfoot, it's probably the most "peter greene" performance he ever gave. show up, fuck with people, be a little drugged up and fearless, and exit. second place: his performance in 'training day'.

anyway this is not that good, i think it's a film where the twist casting everything you've seen in doubt really makes it seem kinda useless.

I remember renting the commentary track vhs of this, back before i had dvd.

bryan singer is an interesting fella.

watching this for the first time tonight

*takes an intense drag off of a cigarette*

in this film, stephen baldwin perpetually looks like he just got hit in the head with a basketball ('the zaps')

*chews gum loudly*

it is extremely difficult for me to believe kevin pollak as hockney, but i am doing my very best

*takes another big drag off a cigarette*

GIMME THE KEYS COCKSUCKA

*baldwin gets hit in the head with a basketball but then easily soothes the guard dog with a gentle touch*

i keep thinking they're going to run into steven seagal out here on this boat

THERE IS. NO! FUCKING! COKE!

*a basketball just misses baldwin's head. he turns around to face the direction it came from. a second basketball strikes his head from a different angle*

i have to say, i don't think this is a good movie but i'm watching it all the way through and it's made me laugh many times

shit. i can't believe Dean Keaton was dead the entire time

It will surprise no one that this movie fucking sucks
