Val Kilmer

[mister d]

Saw him in Top Gun and I’d like someone else to take over and properly start this one …

[EnochRoot]

The Isle of Dr. Moreau is my favorite film involving Kilmer (Top Secret isn’t bad though).

RIP

Doc Holiday forever. I'll be your huckleberry.

Real Genius and Top Secret were staples of the high school VCR.

RIP Neek Rivers.

Aw shit. I was flipping channels and watched the last 30 minutes of Tombstone about a month ago in a ski hotel with my son. Man, he was so great in that.

"Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" is awesome. You should watch.

Yup. This and The Salton Sea are very underrated performances.

That said, I'm long overdue for a Heat rewatch, so will have to do that soon.

[DaveInSeattle]

Tombstone is a favorite.

And the movie is a mess, but his performance as Jim Morrison in "The Doors" is amazing. He spent a year learning how to sing like Morrison, and performed all the songs.

I didn't care for it as much as I thought when I rewatched.

Funny, I was thinking I need to rewatch it because I didn’t like it when it came out. Saw it in theater and I just remember being bored and annoyed by Pacino, who I loved. Been hearing it mentioned a lot lately as a great movie, so maybe I missed something or just wasn’t in the mood. I do remember being really excited to see it.

'decent movie with outstanding cast' is the bucket I put it in

This is exactly how I feel. I was right in the middle of my big Pacino fandom days.

It's been a while since I've seen it, but the whole storyline with Pacino's wife/step-daughter could have been dropped.

I'm standing and applauding this.

Could not agree more with this statement.

That being said, the movie has grown on me over time. I thought it was slightly above-average when it first came out. Now, I like it a lot.

Also, I read Heat 2, which Michael Mann co-authored with an accomplished writer. I loved the book, and they're making it into a movie.

He made a documentary 3 or 4 years ago (called "Val", i think it might be on Prime?) that was a pretty interesting look at his perspective on his career, his reputation, and his gradual progression of loosing his voice from throat cancer. For a movie someone made about their own life, I thought it was decently balanced, and a bunch of cool behind the scenes video he had shot himself throughout his life.

I was living in Chicago when the movie was released, and it was back in the days of "Movie Phone". My room mate called to find out the showing times, and started laughing about how the Movie Phone Guy say "HEEEAAAAT". Became a running joke for a long time.

Today's Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast was all about Val Kilmer. So they had Will Forte and John Solomon talking about him and MacGruber. The story of Val living with Will and the other story of him jogging with Will were worth the listen.

1000 percent. I love the movie, but that entire aspect, which I think was meant to humanize him, was just annoying.
