First! Cause I just gotta be first in the next zombie thread.

All hail ace for posting a zombie thread!

I'm actually more of a beigey-taupe.

I don't remember Miss Julie Brown. However, I do remember Downtown Julie Brown. That should tell you something.

Leave it to Ace to post a throw away thought at the end of the actual post and have it take over the conversation.

I wonder what would happen if he put something about him "retiring" as a throw away line. I bet that would get him his lusted after Instapundit link almost as quickly as him announcing he was selling Ace of Spades T-shirts or something amazing like that!

I didn't think much of it at the time until the 3rd one, the asian chick showed up: the Inscrutable Julie Brown. Offended the hell outta me.

Aaron:

It's not like a zombie thread has to be about zombies -- sort of like how the women in Little Women really weren't dwarfs or anything (I was gravely disappointed).

What's with the quotes aroud the names, ace? Or should I call you "ace"?

I had no idea two people using lauraw.

Beigey-taupe lauraw, if I ever accidentally flame you, please accept my apologies in advance. The flame was really directed at that nasty white girl who keeps telling me I'm gay.

Walken is great, though. I loved that scene between him and Dennis Hopper in True Romance, and his role in Biloxi Blues is a forgotten treasure. If you thought R. Lee Ermey was the best D.I. in movie history, you gotta rent Biloxi Blues just to see how Christopher Walken handles it.

Walken even classes up an otherwise-crappy movie like Last Man Standing.

And I still think his dance number in Pennies From Heaven should have earned him an Oscar nod for Best Supporting. He should have gotten the Billy Flynn role in Chicago rather than Richard Gere; he would have frigging owned that role.

I like this Walken quote:

Walken thinks it would be great if actors had tails. "A tail is so expressive. On a cat you can tell if they're annoyed. You can tell whether they're scared. They bush their tail. If I was an actor and I had to play scared in a movie all I'd have to do is bush my tail. I think that if actors had tails it would change everything."

Jay Mohr had a funny anecdote. Walken was on-set with his "tail" theory, and Jay Mohr asked him if he'd rather have a tail or the power of flight.

"Oh, absolutely, the TAIL, no question about it!" Walken answered. It helps if you imagine Walken saying it.

Anybody here ever seen Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead ?

Anybody here ever seen Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead ?

Yes, and Christopher Walken was the only good thing in it.

Hah!
You're probably right, I haven't seen it since it came out.

I just remember, "Buckwheats? No. Yes, Buckwheats. No."
Or however the Hell he said it. No time to search for the quote.

That bit Walken had in Pulp Fiction was a deadpan classic too. "The Watch", I think it was called. He plays it totally straight, and yet it's hilarious to watch.

You better hope that Chris never finds out about this
!

By the way, Starsky and Hutch vs Simon and Simon? Big difference. S&H didn't have the Big Mac. S&S did. Rowwwrrrr!

Actually, Julie Brown was the one with the "physical assets'; DT Julie Brown was slimmer.

And in light of the fact that "Miss" Julie Brown wrote/performed "Trapped in the Body of a White Girl," she might have preferred to be the "Downtown" one. But DTJB was a VeeJay--and black--so by definition cooler. This was the 80s, you will recall.

Still, I loved some of [Miss] Julie Brown's songs: "The Homecoming Queen's Got a Gun" is a favorite, and "I Like 'Em Big and Stupid" has a special place in my heart.
