RevolutionSF Remembers Ron Silver

All the normals will remember him for Reversal of Fortune, Silkwood, and of course Veronica's Closet. But his best role is evil Senator McComb in Timecop. Deanna Toxopeus says "His seething malevolence was seared into my brain."

His most fun role is playing himself in Heat Vision and Jack with Jack Black and Owen Wilson.

Robert Rodriguez: Oh No He Didn't

That zany Robert Rodriguez says this about his upcoming Nerveracker: "I used to say it was, it’s kind of like Blade Runner, but that was Blade Walker. This is Blade Runner."

Jayme Blaschke says, "in all fairness to Rodriguez, the Ridley Scott film is very deliberately paced. A lot of people remember it for the action sequences, but there is surprisingly little action in the film. I'm a fan of the film, but like many others, I didn't get it at first. It wasn't until repeated viewings that it all sunk in." Oh no they did not! Somebody call my mama!

The Slashfilm article on this story calls the movie Neveracker. That's just harsh. Poor Neve Campbell.
