He was a lawyer - how could he not be smart?
And he figured out the whole scenario at the end. He seemed pretty bright to me.
>> You book Connery to play Connery and he turns up to do just that.
>> Half the time I don't even think he knows he's in a movie and the camera follows him around doing his daily business of knocking dudes out and being the most "alpha" guy in the room.
Haha.
Best.
Hahaha.
I respect your perspective, but what do you mean by saying he might never see her again? Why would you assume that? He could call, visit, or even start a relationship with his own daughter. As her father, he's in a strong position to promise to stay in touch. I’ve never heard of a situation where a father calling his daughter would be out of place.
She’s a minor, so what? It seemed like she was longing for his approval and love. She wasn't the typical angry teen you often see in other movies, resenting the dad who left—she came across as a sweet kid eager to connect. Yet, he gave her nothing, not even a smile. Yes, he was nice to her, and he gave her a hug, but there wasn’t any warmth. And it seemed all about him. His issues with the breakup.
This is just my honest take on the scene. Your interpretation is also valid.
I thought the daughter deserved more from her father in this scene. At least an "I'll call you" assurance inside the house, and especially after she offered him the money outside. He didn't even crack a smile when he drove away! A bit cold, if you ask me.
>> But it didn't make a lot of money. Universal doesn't want to make another movie with me and Robert De Niro, no matter how good it might be.
$81,613,606 worldwide in 1988 was a modest hit! Stating it made no money is just not true. Also, it must have made a ton of money on video and has likely been a steady earner for the studio over the years. That's the great thing about making quality movies—people watch them over and over; they have a long shelf life.
It's not just one of the best episodes; it's the best
Well, if they could add one more person to the existing monument, it would make Trump's day even more. "Hey, look at the company I'm in!"
Lol, good one.
Why won't he?
She is definitely going to say her standard diss line: "Excuse me, I'm speaking... Excuse me, I wasn't finished... EXCUSE ME, I'm speaking now."
Even if you’re on the left or the right, you have to admit that the speech Hulk gave was incredible.
Amazing interview. Thank you for sharing.
The first Mission Impossible is still the best of the series.
Wow, 5 years after I made the post, EVERYTHING that I predicted about going on TV happened:

"....if Kevin goes on TV and apologizes profusely. Says that he did things he regret, but he is not an evil person and that he apologizes from the bottom of his heart, crying and begs for forgiveness - the whole thing. And he appears REALLY remorseful."
Well, almost.
It's the best trilogy ever made in terms of quality. All three movies are perfect. While Star Wars might be the best trilogy overall with the best story arc—beginning, middle, and end—not every film in the original trilogy is flawless. Return of the Jedi comes close, but the first three Indiana Jones films? They're all great, and Temple of Doom is spectacular.
You mentioned you didn't like Short Round, so you might struggle to enjoy this one. However, the score by John Williams, especially the Short Round theme, is wonderful. Listening to it reminds me why I love movies.
You didn't like the greatest adventure movie ever made? Well, I guess some people just have a knack for missing out on the finer things in life.
Haha.
How is that book related to the story, plot and characters of The Movie Critic?
