And one of my favourite opening shots of all time

Without lightsabers, would Star Wars have ever even been a thing? I wonder. Because not even the lightsabers did it for me as a kid, though they were damn cool (the only thing that I thought was cool about it).

All the sound design was awesome.

RIP Bob Parker

he was in my “I thought he was already dead” category

RIP

Just saw The Flash.

I mean, the people running the DC studios up till now have been just horrendous.

That should be on his tombstone. Great line.

Just watched Heat for the first time.

Not bad. Would have been twice as good if they had actually hired good actors instead of Robert de Niro & Al Pacino.

Maybe my fav film ever, and they are starting production on "Heat 2" (excellent book) soon.
De Niro was amazing in it.

I agree that neither were great in that movie. They were way too DeNiro and Pacino.

Yep, I only even went to see the original Star Wars because my little brother was all in on it. I had no desire to see it. In 1977 the movies I wanted to see were Annie Hall and A Bridge Too Far. I didn't give a shit about all the "pew pew" frickin' lasers bullshit.

His comedy timing was unreal.

The dialogue in Happy Gilmore was great for someone like Barker, but his delivery of the material took it to a whole other level. An all-time movie cameo.

Surprised he wasn’t used more in comedies, tbh.

yeah I agree…..De Niro still killed it, but Pacino was already doing a bit of a parody of himself at this point….could have cast that role with someone who plays it a bit more straight, and it’d have made for a better film.

To rip off zeke’s SW comment tho…..Heat is all about the sound design of those shootouts in the streets. That blew the doors off any shootout we’d ever seen before (or since?).

I see you, and raise you….

The other thing Heat had, was an unreal ensemble cast of characters killing it in virtually every other role…..



Gage, Haysbert, Berkeley, Studi, Fichtner, Tone Loc, Nonna, Levine, Sizemore, Kilmer, Trejo, Judd, (Voight was meh, moustache with that hair looked absurd)…..woman cast as Pacino‘s wife was kinda awesome in that role too. Different than your usual wife in flicks like these.
