all my keysmash are belong to you

Did you know Stephen Dorff, Robert De Niro, and Patrick Swayze were originally slated to act in 'Boondock Saints'? I can see Dorff being a Macmanus twin. Um. I can see... Um. Um, okay, sorry, I can't get over PATRICK SWAYZE WTF?!?! (Yeah, you caught me out, I was mixing up my Roberts the first time I posted this.) Also, I watched School Ties, which starred, like, everybody before they were anybody. It wasn't earth-shattering or anything, let's say, and I think I will add 'boarding school movies' to my interest list regardless.

"Smokey Joe's cafeeee..."

Hehehe.

In O12 news: OY. WTF I KNEW IT I KNEW IT WTF. Scroll down, last item. Dear O12, please don't suck, please don't suck, please don't suck, please don't suck...

...And now to the meat of this post.

You guys remember this? Bitches, I finally watched it. I finally got my grubby little hands on a copy and watched it. Now unless 'City On Fire' was based on something and something else is based on 'Kaante', I can safely say I'm all Reservoir Dogged out. And no, the 'Samurai Jack' lampoon doesn't count, if only because I've only ever watched the first four minutes. [Smacks Kazaa.] TOIL HARDER.

So yeah, Kaante is based on Reservoir Dogs is based on City On Fire. Right? Right, and I've watched all three of them and am going to indulge in geekery of a different sort than what this LJ usually offers.

Movie geekery and spoilers be behind that thar LJ-cut, arrr! Click (or don't), 'cos I know you're curious as I was about how one would incorporate dance numbers into a movie like 'Reservoir Dogs'. Visuals included.

( 'Reservoir Dogs', before and after. )

SS: You know what they call Toothflossing Stringmints in Paris?
LM: They don't call 'em Toothflossing Stringmints?
SS: No, man, they don't have floss in France. They wouldn't know what the fuck a Toothflossing Stringmint is.
LM: What do they call Fizzing Whizbees?
SS: Well, a Fizzing Whizbees's a Fizzing Whizbee. They just call it le Fizzing Whizbee.

Apologies to Quentin Tarantino and the French. I have another icon that says 'secret agent' instead of 'mafia hitman', but that doesn't fit any kind of canon. So.
