Lethal Weapon could make a lot of money on pure nostalgia, the script is almost beside the point

I just got the FSM release of the soundtrack a few weeks ago. Very enjoyable, and exceptionally clean sound for a recording going back to the late 1960s, especially when compared to the recording of Operation Crossbow included in the same set that sounds somewhat 'muddier' yet was for a film only three years earlier than Dare..

A Few years ago I had a dream involving Lethal Weapon 5. The dream was that the characters of Riggs & Murtaugh had to take care of some actors (a la The Hard Way starring Michael J. Fox and James Woods) who is researching before doing a cop show. But the twist in my dream was that the actors would be played by none other than the actors who portray Riggs & Murtaugh in the TV-series Lethal Weapon. I had that dream before Clayne Crawford was replaced by Seann William Scott. I think that was actually a pretty good dream if you ask me.

UNREASONABLE BEHAVIOR---Angelina Jolie will direct this biomovie based on the autobiography of British war photographer Don McCullin.

She did a great job directing Unbroken, hope she can do that again with another WW2 (?) movie.

Unreasonable behaviour is a great book. He was a fantastic photographer. The breadth of his photography was interesting, takes in band photography, conflicts in Biafra, Vietnam, and Belfast, and the effects in his family life. Can't wait.

Recently saw McCarthy in an episode of The Rivals of Sherlock Holmes. Long story short: He resembled Calibos even without the makeup; superb actor, and not just because of that.

He was in zulu too, as was every welsh actor.

JIM PHELPS:

I've mentioned before that Neil McCarthy suffered from acromegaly, a glandular problem that causes facial distortion.

To me Neil McCarthy will always be first and foremost Sam from "Catweazle". One of those exceptional series where every right thing came together at the right time.
