"This guy rules"

William H Macy.

In the last couple of months I've seen three films with this guy in, and he's been in dozens more too.

Most recently he was in Jurassic Park 3, and to be honest, without him, the film would have been just a bunch of special effects strung together with the odd corny line. But, in my opinion, he made it so much more. And it's just his appearance that does it! In JP3 he has a big bushy 'tache, and a side parting. his general demeanour, and delivery of lines is superb.

In Fargo, he played a guy that arranges for his wife to get kidnapped in order to get a bit of money from his Father-In-Law. Again, it's the way he delivers the lines, his actions, etc, that helped to make this film absolutely brilliant.

But where he makes me laugh most is in Boogie Nights. He has a mullet. What's not funny about a mullet? The first part of the film, the good times part, features him catching his wife sleeping with other blokes on three seperate occasions. The look on his face the first time, or his humiliation the second are both superb moments, but what he does after the third time, well I won't spoil it for you, but it's one of the most memorable moments of the movie.

So what else has he been in?

Anyone think of any more memorable Macy moments?

Are you trying to get me killed?

I stand corrected, Lee isn't on the Amy commentary, but he should be. Did you know he used to be a pro-skateboarder and had his hair dyed blue? Crazy man, just crazy. The things those skaters do.

I'm a veterain of all the Smith commentarys, they're the onl ones I've listened to more than once. Would recommend them in a flash to anyone. Also agree about Affleck, thought he'd be a git, actually really funny.

Is Lee on the Chasing Amy track though? Pretty sure he missed that one out due to other commitments - mention it at the start of the Dogma commentary IIRC.

Ok, so try saying "Yo homeboy, seen Shaft?"

I'd give myself about 7 seconds tops!

Unless Shaft comes to my rescue of course. What? He's real! He is!

Compton?

I would say the best thing to do is wander about wearing a NWA t-shirt asking "Where the white women at?" to every gangbanga you come across.

I give you about 7 mins, tops

I've had quite a funny day today actually. I was looking at the map of Los Angeles as I'm going there tomorrow and there were a few places which were highlighted in pink. I found out that these area had a higher crime rate than other areas and every highlighted area was mentioned in Jackie Brown or Pulp Fiction. I also read somewhere that Compton was the most violent place on the face of the planet.......and I'm driving right next to it during my drive to the hotel. Don't worry, I've packed my shotguns and also reserved a bed at the hospital. Hehe.

And my hotel is about 10 metres away from a McDonalds. Wooohoo!

Yeah, Danny Trejo is a good actor. He's also been in Con Air and The Replacement Killers. And I swear he was one of the Japanese pilots in Pearl Harbor. That was one of the main reasons I went to see it again butI still couldn't see his name in the credits. I've got more money than sense.

I swear though, if I saw Danny Trejo in a dark alley, I'd probably die. He looks so freaky. He has leather skin. No joke.
