Reading in a coffee shop yesterday, a girl who works there came over. "Is that HEAT 2?" she asked, visibly excited. All my life I'd prepared for this moment. I looked at her and heard my voice saying, "Lady, why you so interested in what I read or what I do?"

There was a brief moment when THE DEPARTED was being bandied about as overrated. The problem: it's simply too entertaining. As with CAPE FEAR, cineastes can sniff about "lesser Scorsese" or "populist Scorsese", but then you watch it again and it's fucking awesome.

@afterglow2046 Every other clip cuts out as soon as he says TRON so I had a feeling the reaction was like this. They're either so solidly in "patronize the old man" mode they're not listening, or they don't understand the premise of the film. "One of the original videogame adaptations!" haha

One of the longest lasting canards about the show: Jerry Seinfeld's performance is bad. Not saying he's Olivier, but he is very funny, and it's more than this "reflected light from the other performers" myth that he's helped perpetuate.

I think John Carpenter's move to semi-retirement came out of an element in common with his enduring success as a filmmaker: he understands normal people. Why would he want to keep working? I mean, I'm glad Ridley Scott is still out there, but it's not a drive I can comprehend.
