Michael Mann, Al Pacino, Robert De Niro – „Heat“ (1995)
Es gab diese Zeit, in der das amerikanische Kino noch erwachsen wirken wollte. Die 90er Jahre waren ein Übergang: Blockbuster als Industrienorm, Independent als Gegenbewegung, und irgendwo dazwischen diese großen, ernsten Studiofilme, die sich weigerten, infantilisiert zu werden. „Heat“ erschien 1995 genau in dieser Grauzone. Drei Stunden, getragen von einem Plot, der keine Superhelden kannte, nur Profis, die ihre Arbeit zu ernst nehmen. Heute sind diese Typen einfach ausgestorben.

"Was it a dream where you see yourself standing in sort of sun-god robes on a pyramid with a thousand naked women screaming and throwing little pickles at you?"

I've always loved Val Kilmer. I mean, the guy is just one of _those_ actors, man; one of those special ones that comes along every now and then. Just a really cool personality. Great on-screen presence who's involvement in a film is always welcome.
But for me, my favorite role of his has to be Chris Knight in 'Real Genius'.
Man, I watched that film _obsessively_ as a kid. Real Genius was one of the first VHS tapes I'd ever purchased with my own money. I wore that fucker out. Not just being a great film in its own regard, but I also kind of looked up to Chris as a role model, of sorts?
Now, if you know the movie, Chris Knight is a brilliant genius. I am not.
But his friendly, flagrant disregard for authority and playful, fun-loving spirit as a coping mechanism for pressure left a lasting impression on me.
"Moles and trolls, moles and trolls, work, work, work, work, work. We never see the light of day. We plan this thing for weeks and all they want to do is study. I'm disgusted. I'm sorry but it's not like me, I'm depressed! There was, what, no one at the mutant hamster races. We only had one entry into the Madame Curie look-alike contest and he was disqualified later. Why do I bother?"
Thanks, Val.

#OTD The Daily Republican reported on the Box #Huckleberry.#Tuscarora #Forest boasts the oldest/biggest huckleberry at 12,000 yrs old. It still lives today.
The etymology of the word #Huckle means joint - due to the #Plant's jointed stems.
The handles on a coffin are called Huckles - so when you carry a #Coffin, you are a Hucklebearer or pallbearer.
And the phrase, 'I'm your Huckleberry,' lets folks know you're just the person for the job, as in #ValKilmer in #Tombstone.

Currently watching #Heat. I am a huge fan of #MichaelMann movies and this is my favorite of his projects.
"A guy told me one time, 'Don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner'"
Absolutely stellar cast...
