I just watched the Last Goodbye, the one with Eliot Gould from 1973. It's an interesting (though I feel non-canonical) take on Marlowe. But then, I don't like any take on Marlowe that sets him as the main character, since he's clearly not in any of the novels and short stories but more of an omnipotent narrator.
But back to the movie. There's a young Arnold Schwarzeneger in it which was a surprise, and I think I saw Sally Field, though the credits were incomplete on that. Worth a watch if you're like me and enjoy detective movies, especially homages to noir and pulp.

How do you know you're father to a preschool girl? You see "Brave" in the theater three times.

I watched The Middle Men last night. The "supposed" based on a true story of "founder" of credit card acceptance for porn.
It was the biggest vanity piece I have ever watched. The person who spent (and lost) $32 million to get it made, was the main character in the movie.

Hahaha, somebody needs to put the BangBros logo in the corner.
For real, though, I'm excited for it. Stop-motion rules.

Also I don't know if I've ever mentioned but everybody should go forth and see Sullivan's Travels, as JL's sig points out. Damn good movie.

I know Joseph Gordon-Levitt is an it boy right now. And I do like him. But Premium Rush is about the dumbest name for a movie ever, and the preview looks pretty damn stupid. I feel like if The Rock wasn't too big for bicycles he would have been in this movie.
