Also, the bar is very high for vote/point totals required to get on the list! Good job!

queen frostine (Eric H.), Wednesday, 3 February 2010 18:27 (fourteen years ago) link

20 a day!

Eddie Marsan was great in HGL. It also made me appreciate him more in Miami Vice. 'it could come back on me baby!'

These 4 are all rather sadistic experiences, but two of them are good.

Rage, Resentment, Spleen (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 3 February 2010 18:28 (fourteen years ago) link

Eddie Marsan is a good John Houseman in Me and Orson Welles

10 a day would give the GMT and later people a better chance to take part in the discussion

caek, Wednesday, 3 February 2010 18:29 (fourteen years ago) link

would be more epic that way too

ice cr?m, Wednesday, 3 February 2010 18:31 (fourteen years ago) link

every time I think of first QT appearance I picture morbz as boiling tea kettle with cork in spout

鬼の手 (Edward III), Wednesday, 3 February 2010 18:31 (fourteen years ago) link

A watched Morbs never boils.

Actually, that's the least true thing I've ever written.

A lot of people I know saw the film after reading the book, and complained that they'd niced up Rob too much. But seeing it a second time, he is a complete bastard at times in the film, it's just that he's played by John Cusack, and everyone loves John Cusack.

if the ilx api wasnt so buggy omar could schedule the results from his dedicated apple brand ipad revolutionary tablet consumer device app

ice cr?m, Wednesday, 3 February 2010 18:33 (fourteen years ago) link

uh Edw, I know it's ILX.

Rage, Resentment, Spleen (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 3 February 2010 18:33 (fourteen years ago) link

honestly most comments on this film were complaints about how it wasn't like a real record store and the girls were unrealistic w/r/t hooking up with a record store owner.

('_') (omar little), Wednesday, 3 February 2010 18:33 (fourteen years ago) link

That's the first kinda lame movie on this list, imo.

queen frostine (Eric H.), Wednesday, 3 February 2010 18:33 (fourteen years ago) link

Maybe it's because I can only remember Tim Robbins' hair in it, tho.

queen frostine (Eric H.), Wednesday, 3 February 2010 18:34 (fourteen years ago) link

Impossible for a movie about a record store to not show up on the ILX list. Glad it was as low as it is.

i think i'll reveal 15 films per day (6 days for 11-90) and then the top 10 on the last day.

solid

鬼の手 (Edward III), Wednesday, 3 February 2010 18:35 (fourteen years ago) link

Kinda loved HiFid but didn't come close to making my 40. Best movie on list so far tho.

Rage, Resentment, Spleen (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 3 February 2010 18:35 (fourteen years ago) link

would like to see it again, but at the time i was working in a record store and the Beta Band bit was OTM.

Also: the first of the bromantic comedies?

Freddy 'The Wonder Chicken' (Gukbe), Wednesday, 3 February 2010 18:36 (fourteen years ago) link

Rage, Resentment, Spleen (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 3 February 2010 18:37 (fourteen years ago) link

argh high fidelity no

strongohulkingtonsghost, Wednesday, 3 February 2010 18:37 (fourteen years ago) link

this countdown is worth it to see what Morbs thinks about films. I would have assumed he hated High Fidelity.

Freddy 'The Wonder Chicken' (Gukbe), Wednesday, 3 February 2010 18:37 (fourteen years ago) link

Todd Louiso directed a movie called Love Liza in my hometown. But that was like 2003.

Freddy 'The Wonder Chicken' (Gukbe), Wednesday, 3 February 2010 18:38 (fourteen years ago) link

xxxxpost Yeah, much better comment than the comments would've been.

queen frostine (Eric H.), Wednesday, 3 February 2010 18:38 (fourteen years ago) link

Cusack's monologues far superior to the ones in American Psycho fwiw

Rage, Resentment, Spleen (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 3 February 2010 18:38 (fourteen years ago) link

Gukbe, my crush on prime-era Cusack is well-documented, and this was pretty much the end of it.

Rage, Resentment, Spleen (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 3 February 2010 18:39 (fourteen years ago) link

I saw Todd Louiso recently on CSI or NCIS or one of those procedural shows that's not Law & Order. Looks exactly the same 10 years on.

Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 3 February 2010 18:39 (fourteen years ago) link

(I mean, all the shit JC has done since, Ice Harvest excepted) xp

i met todd louiso at a wedding

ice cr?m, Wednesday, 3 February 2010 18:41 (fourteen years ago) link

wow. I knew cusack had a bad decade, but I didn't realize just how bad until I looked at the IMDB list. Putting them all in a row like that really hurts.
