We're on the verge of becoming Kathleen Turner Overdrive, but just for tonight, we are Barry Jive and his Uptown Five

[Vito Andolini 9036]

“WHAT FUCKING IAN GUY?”

[Rimbo 25212]

I can't fire them. I hired these guys for three days a week and they just started showing up every day. That was four years ago...

Get your patchouli stink outta my store.

I’d say you were a cinematic idiot and I’d feel sorry for you.

I don't know if this was Jack Black's first role, but it was the one that really broke him out, wasn't it? Stole every goddamn scene so hard.

How does Cusack not lose it in these scenes? I can only figure that since he only ever has that sad puppy dog eyes look (and tbf is a VERY good dad puppy dog eyes look; 9,237 high-grossing romcoms don't lie) he's just laughing on the inside.

[Stringer 1398]

A little Dick, who was perfectly cast as well.

Marie de Salle's playing. You remember I told you about her. I like her. She's kind of Sheryl Crow-ish crossed with a post-Partridge Family pre-L.A. Law Susan Dey kind of thing, but, you know, uh, black.

One of my favorite movies.  They're actually showing it at the Alamo a few times this month if you're interested.

Hi, do you have the song "I Just Called To Say I Love You?" It's for my daughter's birthday.

DO YOU EVEN KNOW YOUR DAUGHTER? There's no WAY she likes that song!

...uhohhmm... is she in a coma?

You can be, and are wrong.

He was in a lot of notable movies in the mid-90s prior to High Fidelity.

But yeah, he wasn't doing the "Jack Black" thing until this movie.

Yeah. I'm astonished how long his CV is before this movie, going back to cereal commercials as a kid. But this was the "Hey who is that guy stealing every scene" movie. Like when Rickman played Gruber in Die Hard.

[mdleast 8016]

I love this movie and, though different in certain ways, the Hulu series from 2020 starring Zoe Kravitz was pretty great too, imo

He did it in Airborne, just a smaller version.

Mr show with Bob and David and the tenacious d show had both already aired on HBO before this movie came out.

John Dillinger was killed behind that theater in a hale of FBI gunfire. And do you know who tipped them off? His fucking girlfriend. All he wanted to do was go to the movies.

[Biff Tannen 44917]

Maybe my favorite of the whole movie

Rob, top five musical crimes perpetuated by Stevie Wonder in the '80s and '90s go.  Sub-question!: is it in fact unfair to criticize a formerly great artist for his latter day sins? Is it better to burn out than to fade away?!?
