But in No Way Out, Costner's character's involvement in the crime was purely incidental. Not so, for the Turds of Turtle Bay.

Yeah, yeah, I know. Come on. You think it's easy coming up with a dipshit reference for every one of these stories?

Besides, you know, he was Soviet Agent YURI, which was the real mystery at the heart of the movie.

So there.

It turns out that "No Way Out" is a remake of a movie called "The Big Clock" starring Ray Milland. His character certainly does drag his feet and attempts to forestall the investigation he is supposed to be leading because he is the prime suspect in the murder. His boss was Charles Laughton. And yes, I was turned on to this film by Lileks.

On logical grounds, Ace wins by knockout.

Chris,

I actually read the book "The Big Clock" -- having had it seen listed as one of the best mysteries ever written -- but I had no idea No Way Out had been adapted from it. And I'd already seen No Way Out.

So I'm reading this book which has all the superficial details different from No Way Out -- the hero works at a conde nast-like magazine empire, rather than the pentago, etc. -- thinking to myself, "Jeeze, this is an awful lot like No Way Out."

Because I'm an idiot.

Random "No Way Out" experience.

My buddy is flipping the channels some years ago and happens upon the beginning of the movie. He yells out excitedly "This movie is soooo bad-ass. You don't even know until the end, he's a KGB agent!"

I hadn't seen the movie.

I told him "One of two things are going to happen - either he is an agent and I'm gonna kick your ass, or he isn't an agent and I'm gonna kick your ass."

I'm curious to see if the Saddam trial gets as much publicity as the Laci Petersen murder trial.

Hopefully, they'll have a similar outcome.

Plus, No Way Out has notorious psycho-dipshit Sean Young actually turning in a credible performance.

Unforgivable spoiler, brian. Your friend should consider self-immolation or seppuku.

Then quit you slimey fucking walrus-looking piece of shit. Get the
fuck off my obstacle

Oh sorry, I side tracked to a Full Metal Jacket tangent.

Let's just hope no one who hasn't seen the movie reads these comments, because otherwise Brian's ass is gonna get a kickin'.

Heh. I just trolled the comments, and found that I'd been gob-smacked.

I defend to the death your right to include dipshit movie asides, and I only wish I had your facility for same. In fact, your analogy was quite good.

I demur on the knockout Uncle Mikey refers to, but only because in the case of the UN, the involvement is in the crime actually being investigated, rather than a crime we won't find out about until the closing credits of the movie.

That said, suitably chastened, I've dropped and given you forty, though I had to do it over a four day period, and I hope you're OK with that.

Wonderful! Now the Yakuza's after us...
