Click through for video clips. This list is from AV Club, an Onion outlet. Incidentally, the stuff coming out of the Onion News Network lately is pretty incredible. (Most of it is also NSFW.) Consider this one, for example. |

I have to disagree about Leaving Las Vegas. I don't own a copy, but I watch it whenever it's on. It's so miserable, it's enjoyable. The scene in which Cage fills his shopping cart with liquor the first time is priceless! He's probably one of the few actors who could've made that film entertaining, though. He's good at playing losers. Speaking of Joan of Arc, the 1999 film The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc is incredibly horrible. If you haven't seen it, save yourself the agony. |
