But to the extent that what makes a Bond movie is a Really Creepy Villian... well, old Christopher Walken kind of nails it. <br /><br />There's this one scene where he's gunning down his employees for no good reason, laughing gleefully, shoots the last one and looks at his watch and says "right on schedule." And somehow this campy absurdist movie suddenly has the real actual Devil in it. It is a phenomenally creepy scene.<br /><br />Somehow View to a Kill winds up being at the same time the best and the worst Bond movie. Without Walken, it would have been not just bad, but Moonraker bad.alathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07774862634576632497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-5411662266298481932011-01-10T14:56:01.565-05:002011-01-10T14:56:01.565-05:00By that reason, 'Brainstorm" was insuffer...By that reason, 'Brainstorm" was insufferably lame, because it was lame WITH walken.<br /><br />Of course, I watch it over and over again anyway.oghttp://www.neanderpundit,comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-34144514960075277092011-01-10T12:54:53.135-05:002011-01-10T12:54:53.135-05:00I'm not so sure about the Midori in that conco...I'm not so sure about the Midori in that concoction...NotClauswitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14358707844087117280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-12133641454529898032011-01-10T12:36:53.849-05:002011-01-10T12:36:53.849-05:00But remember 37 x 0 is still ………………..

He's been in a lot of terrible movies, but his acting ability and performance skills have been the only things that saved them from being horrible movies. When he gets turned loose with a good script he can be amazing. Pulp Fiction, Blast from the Past, Biloxi Blues, Brainstorm, Suicide Kings, his appearances on Saturday Night Live, and even the Weapons of Choice music video were all improved enormously by his participation. I can't think of any other actor that could have given all of those the boost that he did.Alan J.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-58417105314892686512011-01-10T08:37:34.851-05:002011-01-10T08:37:34.851-05:00The Milagro Beafield War.
