A Simple Plan...

[Ianco15]

is on FX right now (east coast time). FX shows it a lot. It is a really good movie and if you haven't seen it, watch it. It has Bill Paxton and Billy Bob Thorton. They find a plane crashed in the woods with hundreds of thousands of dollars inside. Madness insues. It also has the actor who played Lumbergh in Office Space.

As I recall, the plane had $4,000,000.00 inside.

Plot Outline: Two brothers and a friend find $4 million in the cockpit of a downed plane. The pilot is dead. No one is looking for the money.

Well, 4.4 million to be exact.

You're probably right. I haven't seen it in a while and I turned it on after the begging.

Lumbergh comes looking for it in the end, though. It's always funny to see actors associated with a comedy role in a drama role. Like Lumbergh in this movie and he was also in the Ring 2.

That was a very good movie with some really memorable scenes.

Every once in a while two scenes from it pop into my head and I remember how great they were. One is the scene where Billy Bob Thorton, playing the dumb brother, really lets his brother have it and tells him his whole idea of who he is and what went on in their family are completely full of crap. I've never seen a supposedly dumb guy give a supposedly bright guy that kind of completely mental ass whipping before -- it was friggin glorious. The other is when the smarter brother(Bill Pullman? forget his name) thinks Billy Bob is going to ruin the whole plan and blurt out stuff to the other guy they're trying to set up, and really seems to be doing it, but it turns out to all be part of just being more convincing and following the plan. Man, that conversation was completely on the razor's edge and you could see Billy Bob's brother just pooping a brick and completely at the mercy of his "dumber" brother, and then really surprised and incredibly relieved.

Crap, I gotta go rent that sucka again. That was some damned good writing and acting in that movie, and it was a great story in lots of ways.

movies on regular tv suck


i need nudity or cursing

I love both those scenes as well.

When the topic of great acting performances comes up, I always think of Billy Bob in A Simple Plan. Fing Brilliant.
