Today in Movie & TV History
this is the best of all that have been posted yet
truly a brilliant, singular movie
when i first moved to USM there was a single screen theater right across the street from the dorm - i got the season pass and Buckaroo was the 1st movie they showed - went every night for the week it showed
it walks the beautiful line of being completely absurd but taking itself very seriously (kind of like the best Doctor Whos)
i knew Peter Weller bc i went to school with his cousins (one who became a movie/tv actor himself)
but it's a tour de force performance from John Lithgow that's the real joy of the movie
Jeff Goldbloom, Christopher Lloyd give their usual fantastic performances as well
