Ghost Rider (the film, that is)

Starring Nicholas Cage with a wig recycled from Sean Connery's
wardrobe from You Only Live Twice, and lots of special effects.
Looks like that's another decent comic book ruined then.

Must admit that I did let out a heavy sigh when I read that

What?. You've obviously nver seen "Torque" then. Fantastic film full of
realism.
I got a film called "Chopper" as a gift once (don't we all get "biker bot"
films as gifts?). Anyway, eventually I decided to give it a watching only to
discover there wasn't a bike to be seen, but it was a very strangely
watchable piece of shite. Eric Bana was a better Chopper than he was a Hulk

Agreed, but just because it has "Motorcycle" in the title does not

"The Wild One" (1953) starring Marlon Brando and Lee Marvin? THE
motorcycle based movie. You can't really count "On Any Sunday" because
it's 'non-fiction'. Still haven't got to see "The World's Fastest
Indian" yet.

I find myself in total agreement with the leftie.
There's Little Fauss And Big Halsy, for a start ...
Easy Rider didn't exactly suck, but it's cringeworthy to watch unless
you're heavily herballed. And hearing or reading any interview with
either Hopper or Fonda about it since makes you want to reach for the 12
gauge Hillbilly Helper yourself ... I read some press release one of
them did for the launch of some godawful Hardly ER replica that made me
want to hunt them *both* down, just in case they'd got the name wrong.
I can forgive Hopper though, coz he was surreal in Flashback, a film I
try repeatedly to hate, but can't. Let the pisstaking begin.

I'm sorry, but that's tosh. I had this very argument with Darsy
recently. Now, I'll be the first to admit that he's been in some
*terrible* films (ConAir, The Rock, Gone in 60 Seconds, etc), but the
following are excellent, imo:
Birdy
Raising Arizona
Moonstruck
Wild at Heart
Red Rock West
Leaving Las Vegas
Adaptation

I keep writing huge critiques of his abilities, or lack of, then
deleting the lot and starting again. Fuck it. The bloke can't act. He

I don't like to disagree with someone as agreeable as you, Dave, but
you're really wrong on this one. In Adaptation he plays his own
brother, FFS, and the whole point is that the brothers are utterly
different. The oscar he got for Leaving Las Vegas was a done deal
months before hand, because everyone knew it was easily the single
best piece of film acting that year, and Red Rock West is one of the
most enthralling thrillers I've seen.
Have you actually seen any of the films I've listed? Cos I agree that
in the shit blockbusters he makes, he does just play one standard
character. Like lots of Hollywood stars (cf Tom Cruise) he seems to
make big popcorn movies for the money, and then do smaller more
interesting ones for himself.

I didn't.
Mudhoney used that sample on a track called In 'N' Out of Grace, back
in 1988, two years before PS used it on Loaded.

heh. I'd be somewhere in between the 2 of you [1], hating him in:
Moonstruck
Adaptation (Jesus, what a /minging/ job of "acting" that was ... it
finally cemented most critics as idiots in my eyes)
And quite liking him in:
Birdy (excellent job, possibly coz he wasn't that well known then, so
was trying harder, and hadn't settled into the "playing me" thing)
Raising Arizona
Wild at Heart
Leaving Las Vegas
... so, overall, not bad.
I even quite liked the comedic interplay between him and Connery in The
Rock, crap Hollywood action fare though it was. There's a sequence where
he's trying to explain something technical to Connery that's beautifully
underplayed.
Air Con is possibly one of the worst "action" films ever made, and once
again demonstrated to me that, should I ever get that Malkovich twat
down a dark alley, I'm going to kick the cunt out of him for what he's
made me sit through. Your days are numbered, Malkovich.

Hated both. Especially BJM. The worst load of contrived, "look at us,
aren't we clever, come see what we have to say about the human
condition" shite I've ever seen. A luvvy's wet dream.
I honestly believe films like that are made to make the critics cream
themselves, and thus garner ticket sales ... truly great film "sells"
itself.
I utterly despise Malkovich as an actor. I'm sure he's a perfectly
splendid chap IRL, but as an actor he's hammy, up himself, and totally
lacking in subtlety. I'd gladly hack his head off with a rusty carving
knife.
In other words, I'm not a fan.

Forgot to mention; the championing (heh) of BJM by an ex was what first
sowed the seeds of doubt in my mind. I thought "do I want to spend the
rest of my life with someone so easily fooled into buying the emperor's
new clothes?".

You say tomato, etc etc.
I think BJM is one of the most original and inventive films I've ever
seen. But then, similarly, I loved Adaptation, which you've slagged
elsewhere in this thread.

Clearly. I think he's fairly limited, but what he does works very
well in the right setting, and Dangerous Liaisons was absolutely
perfect with him in it.

Oh for sure; I'm not saying those *are* bad films, merely that I hated
them. Others can make their own minds up, obviously. I'm a bit thick, so
possibly the beauty, majesty and intelligence passed me by.

Well yes, both films are designed to appeal to people like you :)

Dreadful film, dire acting, and I can't stand Glen Close either, so a
bit of a non-starter for me :)
