Very fond of him. But, to me, Rollerball. At the time it was a breakthrough.

James Caan, I know of him from his great work as Buddy The Elf's dad in the awesome Christmas Movie Elf. RIP

Strangely enough, we just were watching the fake movie trailer for that last night (where it is a "thriller" instead)

I've always thought Kathy Bates' performance in Misery was one of the best performances I've ever seen. But I also have always thought that Caan's reactions to her and interplay with her in that film made Bates' performance even more compelling. It was almost as if his primary purpose in that role was to allow her to shine even more. RIP.

I love this observation. Similar to what Ethan Hawke did in Training Day and not as easy as it looks.

One of the best - and most touching -movies ever made. Because it was a true story.
Here it is...

Ivana Trump, Tiny's ex-wife, has died.
God, we said "This Low Life", not "His Old Wife". Pay attention, please.
