Before watching the movie:
Though the log line is essentially “Die Hard on a battleship”, the Navy setting somehow gets me thinking more of JackRyan. Thanks to the movies, I think of Jack Ryan as a civilian CIA bureaucrat, but a moment’s research turned up that he’s ex-Marine. So maybe Seagal’s character here is closer to Jack Ryan than I thought, but I was more interested on my initial discovery that Seagal is serving as a boil than when I found out he’s an ex-SEAL. It takes away from the appeal of an underdog for me the more prepared that underdog is for the challenge they meet in the movie.
The fact that the terrorists are led by a disgruntled CIA operative intrigues me. Most 90s bad guys are generic terrorists, but they’re usually Eastern European, maybe with a specific ex-Soviet flavor. The top terrorist being rogue CIA opens up a possibility of critiquing American policies rather than just wrapping the fine guys in the Stars and Stripes and painting the bad guys as whatever the uppermost enemy of the US government is at the day. Though since this probably required extensive cooperation with the US Department of Defense in or
The Story That Won’t Go Away
A buddy of mine told me she didn’t find JFK particularly homophobic—its several queer men, after all, are not confined to the usual stereotypes. Consider how the imprisoned queer hustler Willie O’Keefe describes businessman Clay Shaw (Tommy Lee Jones) to Jim Garrison (Kevin Costner), the New Orleans district attorney who will try Shaw unsuccessfully for conspiracy to kill President Kennedy: “He’s not one of those limp-wrists,” instructs O’Keefe, “he’s a butch John.”
Were the even more “straight-acting” O’Keefe not referring to a trick he’d once turned, he might have described Shaw more accurately as a butch queen. Shaw exudes Southern gentility. He has a style for champagne, and for smoking cigarettes, stylishly, in holders. He also peppers his prose with French derivatives enjoy “badinage.” When not in the organization of anti-Castro Cubans (who apparently contain no qualms about mingling with maricones as long as they’re politically like-minded), he hosts decadent all male parties where the guests might wear courtly 18th-century drag, though a si
Tommy Lee Jones
Why did Lorne Michaels throw Jim Carrey the Biden bone. He's terrible and everyone could have predicted he would be terrible. But he's shit with sprinkles. The internet tears him apart every Saturday and they are inclined to wish to enjoy SNL.
Carrey was talented in a broad sketch comedy sort of way and he started out as a adorable good impressionist. He is absurd and pushes things far. But it is a dark mind at work and he seems unable to play a new character of any sort now. I sense bad for the guy - he's bombing so bad and looks so uncomfortable on live TV.
Josh Hartnett doesn't have any space between his features. He should be handsome, but he's neanderthal. Enjoy Ashton Kutcher. Tommy Lee Jones was both nice faced and rugged. Those deep set eyes and heavy lids, the cheekbones and jawline, the awful skin and reluctance to smile. But he had a nasty robust chuckle. Really sexy. Josh Hartnett resembles Mark Wahlberg more than Tommy Lee Jones.
Jim Carrey must be a gigantic pain in the ass to work with. He downgraded himself before the industry did.

Tommy Lee Jones movies: 13 greatest films ranked worst to best
13. JACKSON COUNTY JAIL (1976)
Director: Michael Miller. Writer: Donald E. Stewart. Starring Yvette Mimieux, Tommy Lee Jones, Robert Carradine.
“Jackson County Jail” was one of a long line of exploitation films that regularly played drive-in theaters in the 1970s, films that critics routinely ignored. But this film about a white businesswoman (Yvette Mimieux) who gets raped by several men and thrown in jail had one element that made critics sit up and take notice — an young actor with a craggy face and an unusual delivery. When I first watched “Jackson County Jail” back in 1977, I had not ever heard the name Tommy Lee Jones. But we all do now.
12. HOPE SPRINGS (2012)
Director: David Frankel. Writer: Vanessa Taylor. Starring Meryl Streep, Tommy Lee Jones, Steve Carell.
Jones is reunited with his “Prairie Home Companion” co-star Meryl Streep in David Frankel’s comedy/drama as a married couple who suddenly find themselves as empty-nesters who feel that they necessitate to reconnect physically so that they c
