My Left Footloose

And Proud We Are of All of Him.

We try to keep our personal lives out of My Left Footloose, for obvious reasons including saving our friends (and possibly the police) from the embarrassment of having to stage continuous interventions, but this we had to share. Please enjoy below our very own Scott Glancy, My Left Footloose resident gun nut and Husband in Chief, talking with CNN on the night he won Best Walter 2009 at Seattle's Lebowskifest. (Yeah, he's the one at the end who, y'know, looks like Walter.)

If you Liked This, You'll Love These We were just outside Barstow, on the edge of the desert...| One Bowler to Rule Them!

The Way of the Gun is chock-full of great lines from memorable characters, horrifying beer-bottle-fu, perhaps the best way to deter a kidnapper I’ve even seen, and a ransom so big that James Caan calls it “a motive with a universal attachment.” Plus the he film stands out for no better reason than they break Sarah Silverman’s nose in the first five minutes. But they weren’t joking when they titled this film. There is some serious gun-fu in this one, and none of it is that stupid John Wu/Chow Yun Fat flying through the air in slow motion while doves fly by as you shoot two pistols akimbo, only to land, throw the empty guns away, and whip two more out of your ass, which clearly has a gun cabinet in it. In The Way of the Gun, walls are shot through, cover isn’t what it appears to be, bullet proof vests don’t cover enough, and amateurs can kill you if you blink... all of it shot in real-time to give it that frantic feel of a gunfight between guys who know what they are doing. ~Scott

Maybe Alan Moore Will Watch THIS One…

The new owner of the Cleveland Indians, in an effort to lose badly enough that she can move the team, puts together a hodge-podge of washed-up ballplayers and fictional characters. Despite her interference, the deft coaching of Allan Quatermain (Sean Connery), experience of veteran pitcher Jake Taylor (Tom Berenger), and invisibility of shortstop Rodney Skinner (Tony Curran) unite to turn the losing team around. Fantastic finale as, in the ninth inning, Pedro Cerrrano (Dennis Haysbert) uses voodoo to summon the Nautilus out of center field, allowing Captain Nemo (Naseerudding Shah) to catch what would have been a home run.
