    Enjoyed the first two as a teenager...

    My kids absolutely love these films (as do I) but I'm not sure how they can make this work. Very skeptical.

    Why doesn't Sean William Scott get work any more?

    Isn't he in the Lethal Weapon TV series? And, he recently made a sequel to Goon.

    Read a lot of stories how normal his life is. Rides the subway a lot, gives most of his money away as well.

    firstly, there is a Lethal Weapon TV show? And also yes, he is in that. His IMDB page is pretty sparse from 2013 onwards though.

    I haven't seen it, just remember reading an article about him being on it.

    Not sure why he wasn't getting cast in between.

    It's OK, good fodder when I'm on the treadmill. Damon Wayans plays Murtagh

    I can recite B&T 1 line for line while watching it so I'm sure it's as awesome as ever.

    I actually had a friend who could do the same with Top Gun, but the problem was he couldn't stop himself from doing it when we were watching it as a group.

    @mariner4life yeah have heard Reeves is a genuine GC.

    contrast to someone like Cage who cops alot of shit then supposedly acts like a cnut (might be isolated, but who knows)

    When filming Captain Corellis Mandolin on Kefalonia, bought a big house, built a big fuck off wall around it, left the island at every opportunity (EVEN TO RIDE3 HIS MOTORCYCLE), wanted nothing to do with locals, interveiws, eating out etc...this was told by a couple of different tour guides on the island when I visited, might be more to it...?

    Maybe he didn't want to be annoyed by looky loos all the time or he'd had security concerns before? (Re: the house with a wall. Just speculating, I don't know anything about it).

    @Nepia yeah as I said, a couple of tourist guides mentioned it as we passed this house with a big huge wall (he didnt own it then) and then when we went to the beach featured in the movie.

    As I said, possibly more to it but I mean it's a Greek Island and not even one of the bigger tourist ones, plenty of people there probably didnt even know who he was haha

    They do. Still awesome!

    That's why I don't want to see wrinkled old Bill and Ted. It will struggle mightily not to be shit.

    Incidentally the movie wasn't great (IIRC it also had Christian Bale in it before he was huge) but it's better than the gobshite awful book it's based on. Why use one sentence to say a ball is round when you can use 43 paragraphs!

    fark why the hell would you read that book, movie was bad enough, I only watched the movie out of interest because it had been made a year or so prior to me visiting the Island.
