Enjoyed the “X Files” episode he did.
Mark is freaky smart and hilarious. Love him when he subs for Rush. You can’t passively listen, just when you’ve gotten his humor he’s already two steps ahead
Clark Gable. John Wayne. Ward Bond. James Garner. Burt Reynolds.
Whom do we have now? Ryan Gosling. Bradley Cooper.
Well, we do have Chris Hemsworth and Chris Pratt, but still...
I prefer him to Rush. I know: no show without Rush, but it is truth.
Agreed. He had chops, he just preferred to have fun.
Steyn the thinker and writer doesn’t get the credit he deserves.
You sure have a pretty mouth he said to Jon Voight.
Farewell, Burt. You were an American classic. I’m kind of partial to “Hustle” myself. A damned fine picture.
Whatever its artistic merits, “Deliverance” gave urban Americans a memorable, false image of rural America.
I was waiting for Steyns’s eulogy of art Reynolds. He didn’t disappoint.
I had lived in North Georgia for 14 years when that movie(Deliverence) was in the theaters. I thought that the script writers may have been from the Village in New York City. Weirdest off base movie I have ever seen. The Amityville movie made better sense.
Good movie. What makes it memorable to me is the ending. They got away with it, but not in the mind. That aspect is unusual imo.
The film was easy for you to ignore, because you knew from personal experience how false it was. Many urban Americans, myself included, thought it realistically depicted a nearly world that we had never seen before. "Deliverance" was our introduction to the bizarre natives of flyover country.
It wasn't until I spent a long time in rural America that I lost my Deliverance-inspired paranoia.
It was a "very good" film. I wish I had never seen it.
