Posted by Daniel Moskowitz | February 2, 2013, 3:22 PMI’m sure he’s a decent dude. However, I listen despite of Bryan. His number of annoying traits need to be listed, if only for the sake of my own sanity and to see if it annoys anyone else.
1. His well documented habit of spoiling movies (No need to ever watch China Town now)
2. His interrupts Anderson all the time
3. His faux racism (which I actually suspect is thinly veiled real racism) played off as comedy.
4. He finds the word “Retard” “Retarded” hilarious and loves when Anderson quotes the word (also loves quoting the N word, ties in with #3) You’d think a dude with Brain cancer would be more empathetic to individuals with neurological issues that are out of their hands.
5. His claim that you don’t hear of British black actors (Only the best black actor working today, IMO, Idris Elba)
6. He’s personality displayed in the audio of Anderson’s bachelor party as he was overly vocal in a room of people he’d just met, plus his assertion that his joke was the best of the night.
7. His overall lack of knowledge in movies that Anderson brings up past, current, or upcoming. (Freaks, Killing Them Softly)
8. His reviews usually regress into him reading off the actors names in IMDB style, or his listing of names almost definitely is longer than his actual analysis
That’s all I can think of right now. If you think I’m being a hater or nitpicky then let me know. Also, maybe the show wouldn’t be as good with two “Cinefile’s” instead of one cinefile and one average dude.

Posted by Chester | February 4, 2013, 11:51 PMHonestly, I think it’s fair to say that if a movie is 20+ years old I don’t think it can be considered ‘spoilable’. Much like “The Godfather” or “Apocalyppse Now”, regardless of whether someone “spoils” the ending, they are movies that should be watched anyway just to see what all the fuss is about. It doesn’t bother me a bit if they inadvertantly give something out because if they really like it, I may check it out anyway.

But you missed one– he wasn’t even on the viewers’ list: Christopher Serrone from Goodfellas. That kid was just slightly older than I when I watched that film in a theater (my FIRST R rated movie in a theater). He DREW ME INTO that film at the start.
He is also just trying to get back into acting.

Posted by stevo | February 2, 2013, 8:19 AMI think Leonardo was 16 or 17 at the time both movies were shot, so he officially was not an adult, both films were done prior to his puberty, he had a late adolescence. He is a six foot tall man now, and was probably 5’6″ pre-pubescent boy when those films were made.

Posted by stevo | February 2, 2013, 12:50 PMI have an idea for a show, “Top 5 GOOD movies that fizzled at the box office”.
My list would include:
1. Dredd (2012)
2. Ravenous (1999)
3. Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2006)
4. Crank (2006)
5. Mystery Men (1999)
Yeah, I know 3 of them are comic book related but you have to admit, it’s hard trying to mainstream niche market films.

Posted by mark | February 1, 2013, 8:26 PMSchroder was great even in his small role in “Crimson Tide” as an adult. In fact, when I watched that movie for the first time last year I thought that he was so good that I asked people why he never made the jump into stardom (it’s from the ’90s). People are claiming that it’s deliberate– he doesn’t want the sort of fame and attention that he had when he was on Silver Spoons.

Posted by Joe L | February 1, 2013, 3:24 PMI LOVE when Anderson references great television. First, television, at its best is telling stories – at least – as good as films. Second, Bryan gets so mad. He says its because its not tv vault, but its really because he doesn’t watch and is left out. More TV mentions Anderson – that’ll be great! And HOW DARE YOU say As Good As It Gets is a weak movie. That movie is fantastic on so many levels. I’d entertain an argument that it isn’t “great” but saying weak makes me wonder if you’ve actually viewed it? Love the show as usual. Keep it up, fellas.
