Apex Mountain on The Rewatchables
59:55 – 63:05… it's like Tom Cruise has been like, fine, I'm just going to like fly through the Himalayas then on a helicopter and teach myself how to fly. Russell Crowe. So Apex Mountain, really nobody except David Morris. I don't even think Caruso because Caruso, I would say NYPD Blue. No, I would say, I'd say he was still at base camp. He'd come down from the peak of NYPD Blue and was stopping on the way to the low. This character lives on Apex Mountain, but I don't think Chris does. Dino is the apex of all character actors. I think David Morris, definitely Apex Mountain for him because he's really good in this movie and …
The whole segment, as transcribed
Yeah. And I watched it. It didn't seem like it was a hundred feet high. It definitely did seem like he jumped on it though. It's also, I mean like ever since then, it's like Tom Cruise has been like, fine, I'm just going to like fly through the Himalayas then on a helicopter and teach myself how to fly. Russell Crowe. So Apex Mountain, really nobody except David Morris. I don't even think Caruso because Caruso, I would say NYPD Blue. No, I would say, I'd say he was still at base camp. He'd come down from the peak of NYPD Blue and was stopping on the way to the low. This character lives on Apex Mountain, but I don't think Chris does. Dino is the apex of all character actors. I think David Morris, definitely Apex Mountain for him because he's really good in this movie and he's in a movie holding his own with a lot of famous people. So the Joey Pants award given to the, that guy from the movie, there's only, I mean, Hannibal Lecter's doctor. I know. I never knew what his name was. So I looked it up. It's Anthony Heald. Yeah. And he plays like this, like slimy oil executive. He plays the guy he plays in Sounds of the Lambs. And an 8mm, one of my other favorites. We're all out of miracles. Yeah. Treo Buscemi or Michael K. Williams. Treo. Mm-hmm. I'm kind of amazed he wasn't in this actually. Absolutely. Yeah. He would have been a good Waco. Sure. The Saul Rubineck Award for the overacting. Some good nominees. Arturo really dials it up. Yeah. Yeah. Waco dials it up, but the old crazy inmate. Oh, Kessler. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Kessler really ratchets it up. Yeah. Doing the whole like drawing in the Bible thing. Yeah. He goes. His act is great. I think he wins. Pick and Nitz. The maid recognized Marco's voice. His mom works for her. That's really convenient. I don't even know if Russell Crowe's whole gamut where he's like, I have a tape of you. It's like, would anybody be like, oh, that's Fred? Yeah. That's what a crushing blow to Fred's reputation. Yeah. I don't think so. We are in kidnap country. What did everybody get paid for the? Yeah. So if they only have $6.50, I guess they're supposed to be saying that the Italian guy is probably like the big fish of this whole rescue and that they can get. That should have been the movie. Peter back. Yeah. But it's just that like the Italian is the one that's going to pay for everything. But I still don't understand. Is David Caruso working for another one of those Lutheran insurance or risk companies? It's a little ambiguous. Yeah. I thought basically they have the media rights to this. That's what they negotiated. So if there's a movie. Right. So Dino gets to. Dino gets to sell the movie. Dino's like, I'm directing this. Yeah. Arriba Darchi. My big nitpick. Meg Ryan's character. You never see her actually smoke. She holds a cigarette in seven different scenes. And she's just holding it. I looked on. Never smokes ever. I did a little research into this. Okay. Because one of my pet peeves as a former smoker is celebrities who can't smoke. Yeah. Who don't know what they're doing. And I was looking up whether or not Meg Ryan was a smoker. She. There are. You'd be surprised to know a lot of message board threads dedicated to whether or not a certain celebrity is smoking or not. Really? And apparently. Is that a website? Meg Ryan was allegedly a chain smoker who didn't want anyone to know she was a chain
