I just watched this film, and it's just the most brilliant damn thing I've ever seen! (I believe it got a standing ovation at Cannes!)
But, much like Serenity, it just barely made it budget back at the box office.

EDIT: (Oh, and IMDb says it's Michelle Monaghan's birthday today. Nice coincidence there!)

"Entertainment Sifu", huh? I kinda like the sound of that!
(Now I just need to find out what a "sifu" is.)

Your recommendation of Planetes has elevated you to Sifu IMO.

I absolutely love this film. I'd argue it's my favourite Shane Black, Downey Jr, Kilmer AND Monaghan movie.
It's just so brilliant.

*beats self with dry noodles*

Rented it. Liked it. Surprised it didn't do better at the box office.

Actually, I think I have to list "The Salton Sea" as my favorite Kilmer flick.

Oh, you just had to choose the ONE kilmer flick I haven't seen? (ok, there's probably more than 1...)
Ok, well, still. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is awesome. Everyone go watch it.

Man, I *just* recorded KKBB on the DVR, and then had to dump it before I got time to watch it, because the cursed thing was rapidly filling up. And it was recorded in hi-def, too. :( It better be on again soon, because now I'm jonesing for it!
And I had to mention the one Kilmer flick you haven't seen to remind you to GO RENT IT!

Bah!
Check how much KKBB is on DVD, I'm fairly sure here in Aust it's like $10, so it should be about $8 US or less. I got it for $15 on Bluray!
Pretty sure I've seen Salton Sea for cheap too, and, having just looked it up, it's got a great cast. Will have to go pick it up soon! Thanks for the heads up! :)
