Powers Boothe

But they band together in the woods and improbably forge a sort of rebel force that attacks and unleashes assaults on the Soviet soldiers to try and save their town.

And, I mean, then about halfway through the movie, Powers Booth, his plane crashes, his jet crashes, and he absolutely steals the picture.

Listen, Tony, do yourself a favor this weekend.

Red Dawn.

So, rising stakes.

Then, at the halfway point, a smoldering powers booth shows up as an American pilot whose plane crashes.

He joins the high school kids and explains to them that a huge chunk of the United States is under Soviet control.

It's our point of no return, you see, because we learned the scale of the invasion and that no help is coming for them.

Jennifer Grey dies.

She was in this film, and she gets killed by a helicopter.

Also, Lea Thompson is there and tries to bone a way, way older Powers Booth because she apparently can't have a normal relationship with a man in any movie.

Listen.

He is delicious in that movie.

Like in a movie of performances dripping that like are overwhelming you, like a buffet that only has cake of performances, Powers Booth, you know, Michael Biehn, Val Kilmer, Kurt, Bill Paxton, you know, there's just so many across that whole movie that billy zane just like jason priestly you name it there's just every person in that movie you could name they have a moment that crushes and he has like five that he's outstanding and his job is to be clobbered by kurt russell um so i love him in that movie he is that's a In some movies, Stephen Lang is the only guy who understands the assignment.

But I have to say, you mentioned it, my number one Stephen Lang performance for time at club slash impact at club, he's the MVP on the pitch for me in a movie that's stacked with people.

His performance in Public Enemies is... staggeringly good like the ends of movies and michael man movies particularly in their musicality and how they bring you up to both a psychological and emotional crescendo at the end of a movie and a level of poetry and poignance that like he seems to have a pretty natural gift for stephen lang's performance and his performance across um from you know uh Marianne Cotillard's Billy Frechette and passing on like even if it's made up I don't care because never let the truth or history get in the way of a good yarn but that moment where he passes on Dylan just final words to her in public enemies is just incredibly powerful.

I've never seen it.

It had Powers Booth, but it was a very good depiction where they take off a B-52 crew and nuclear war breaks out.

And they took off from Fairchild up there in the Pacific Northwest.

Hmm.

Maybe I didn't.

But, my God, the chance to work with Powers Booth and that Chandler Town series, to work with all of those brilliant actors that I had a chance to work with, and those fine, fine scripts, scripts by Dennis Potter, Why would I ever regret that I didn't do, you know, five more MacGyvers or something? Well,

no, I wasn't asking if you regretted that.

I was just asking if you regretted leaving Dark Shadows.

I want to be lit at the side, but have just darkness in front of me.

The two visible ones are Powers Booth, who is like an American film star.

He's in Deadwood.

What a name.

Watch that movie.

Watch that movie about the Guyana massacre with, uh, Powers Boothe as Jim Jones.

Yeah.

That was a good one.

And if you notice, they, they don't like him after all that, but they're a great resource.

And then who else is in it? Powers Booth.

Bob Hoskins plays J. Edgar Hoover.

Um-
