Quote from: sexterossa
John Turturro Performance: The Man Who Wasn't There
Um, John Turturro wasn't in that...I don't think. Are you thinking of Tony Shalhoub maybe? The lawyer guy? He kinda reminds me of Turturro.
It was Shaloub. But I could definitely see Turturro playing that role too....
the title of this thread is misleading. i find it to be "a big movie query".
Quote from: ShanghaiOrangeYou all better fucking watch some Kurosawa movies right now. :x :x :x
Yup. I find it hard to believe. At just about any video store, you will find a copy of "Ran" somewhere in the FOREIGN or DRAMA section.
Quote from: sextarossaJohn Sayles Film: sorry, but who?
This makes me even angrier. I know for a fact that you can find "Lone Star" or "Sunshine State" in your video store. They're there. I swear it.
And also, guys, John Sayles isn't one of the Maysles' brothers.
Quote from: PawbloeAnd also, guys, John Sayles isn't one of the Maysles' brothers.
Oh god, fuck...I'm sorry. Lol, I am such an idiot. I completely wasn't saying Gimme Shelter as a joke either. Ok, I know who the guy is now...just haven't seen any of his films.
