Couldn't act his way out of this interview, nobody's that good.

lol he called Opie out on his awful subject.

Time-stamp? There's a 0% chance I listen to all 30 minutes.

It's like 2:08 right in the beginning

I love the Mission Impossible movies.

Wow, what a great reminder how awful the two years of O&J were.

I like him in that show Entourage.

He's got a pothead mama, got a cokehead dad.

i enjoyed the movie : In a Valley of Violence. which starred ethan and was plugged by james ranson and ti-west ... probably never would have seen it if not for jim and sam

Holy SHIT. You liked that movie?? What did you like about it, please god explain it to me.

Void filling Violence.

There wasn't any violence! All they fucking did was talk to each other. Badly. That was such a bad movie I wanted to walk out, I swear to god. What a complete mess.

Fair enough. I didn't pay. It was on the web the day of the Jim and Sam appearance.

I paid. He was doing a Q&A after. I talked to him and got to pet the dog. (That dog was awesome)

The thing is, it was a tonal disaster. He steals the credits from The Good The Bad The Ugly, and tells the crowd after (boy was there a lot of hot chicks there, Christ) he was going for a classic "Sergio Leone Spaghetti Western thing." Well one of the most famous lines in G/B/U is "If you're gonna shoot, SHOOT, don't talk." All anyone did in this thing was fucking talk. They delivered 3/4 page monologues before they shot anyone, it was just pages of bad, bad dialogue. I couldn't believe what a mess it was. He completely went against everything Sergio Leone was about. There was barely any dialogue in those movies.

Plus it felt like it was made for about $20k. There was NO extras in that entire town. The production design was awful. I actually didn't mind John Travolta in it but all the other principles were bad (or at least boring af) actors. By the end, I think about 4 people had died. I was so fucking pissed. How do his pieces of shit get funding, but not my pieces of shit. That are less shitty than his pieces of shit.

Alright you win I'm sorry.

"Th-that's terrible, I'm sorry."

Wow, I had to tap out after 15 secs. Cringeworthy.

I tapped out when Opie goes, "...I...I don't think it's boring, I think there's something..."

Fuck off.

Anybody ever seen "Before the Devil Knows You're Dead"?

Great movie. Phillip Seymour Hoffman plays a great sociopathic asshole, and Ethan hawke plays a great loser. One of my favorite scenes is Michael Shannon shaking Ethan hawke down. "Mind if I call you Chico?" And Ethan hawke pathetically murmurs, "people call me Hank."

I gotta rewatch that

I liked him in the Magnificent 7.

Where's we at with the flu?
