Ted's movies
I started the same thread on Tony's message board--here I'm looking for suggestions on any good Ted movies. Any movies that I haven't already seen.
I've seen Silence of the Lambs--pretty damn decent.
I saw Hills Have Eyes--bad movie that I should have turned off as soon as Ted's character was killed off but there ya go. There's an hour and a half I'll never get back.
I've seen Wild Wild West several times when it first came out--I loved that movie. I think one of the real big reasons it never took off was that you had a lot of young people going to see it because of Will Smith, and young people that just don't remember the show when it was on TV. I only saw the movie once at the theater--the rest of the times at home on tape--but as me and my son are walking out of the cinema, some guy behind us says "What the H was that? They didn't have all that stuff back then!" That just about says it. Well, uh, Wild Wild West wasn't Bonanza or Gunsmoke or Big Valley. That was what they did on that show--set it in the old west back in the 1800s and they had all these Get Smart gizmos. That was the hook. Having grown up watching every episode of the show, I can tell you the movie was pretty true to the TV show. The young kids who went to see Will Smith and who never saw the TV show just didn't get it. That's why it wasn't a hit.
What else....American Gangster. It was okay...another toupee movie....loved his character and so of course it was basically another bit part for him. I'd see it again if he had had a larger role in it.
Saw The Assasination of Jesse James. Had to PPV it but it was only five bucks and it was worth it. Damn decent movie if you ask me but again, Ted's bit-parting in that one.
Saw Evolution. Hated it but Ted did a good job in that one.
Saw Moby Dick. Outstanding. See it if you get the chance. It's hard to catch.
Guess I've seen a lot more of Ted's movies than Tony's. Anyone know of a movie of his I haven't seen that I should catch? Let me know. :)
