2. Titanic
3. The Dark Knight Rises

DKR was basically Rocky 3 and Clubber Lang would have wasted Bane

I haven’t seen any of those. They must not have been overhyped enough to cause me to watch them.

He’s not a prolific actor but more than most seems to choose his roles wisely. He’s either very smart, or at least smart enough to retain the services of a very smart agent.

I think the most overrated film by far is Crash. Won best picture, is perpetually at the top of the Netflix charts, and it is just a really stupid liberal melodrama written by a pathetic one time scientologist.

I liked the movie because it ran at a good pace and kept the audience guessing. Yes, the black characters were saints and the white characters were somewhat amoral. But that's how lily-white Hollywood has been asserting its superiority to the rest of white America for decades, so I don't even skip a beat any more.

That’s one of the most efficient assessments I’ve seen so far. The academy doesn’t know how to pick out great movies. They’re too self-congratulatory.

The Cooler was one of Alec Baldwin’s best. Another great was Burt Reynolds in Boogie Nights. Stole the show from Dirk Diggoer!

[Elaine and Peterman are watching “The English Patient”. Elaine is about to freak out of boredom]

Elaine Benes: [quietly] No. I can’t do this any more. I can’t. It’s too long.

Elaine Benes: [yells] Quit telling your stupid story about the stupid desert, and just die already! DIE!

J. Peterman: [surprised] Elaine, you don’t like the movie?

Elaine Benes: [shouts] I hate it!

[the audience shushes Elaine]

Elaine Benes: [shouts back] Oh, go to hell!
