I thought it was assumed he was bi-sexual. And anyway, who cares! It's 2005 for Baptist's sake!

The weird but enjoyable mix of "Road Trip", "TCM", "Jeeper's Creepers", "Duel" and "Clerks", "Monster Man"

A wonderfully tasty morsel of political documentation in the form of The Power of Nightmares (2005/UK/Adam Clark) - a non-competition entry at this year's Cannes Film Festival.

Delightfully spiffing!

:D

I agree that Stiller pretty much stole it but like I said I think Vaughn can be pretty funny without saying much, sometimes just the look on his face makes me laugh.

Haven't seen Locusts yet I'll keep an eye out for it.

Vince Vaughn is money in Swingers, baby - but Jon Favreau is even funnier with his lead balloons:-

"Well, we're not in Kansas anymore..."

O ok. Thanks! I was a little freaked out while watching the flick and seeing him telling some guy he loved him (can't think of his name either.)


Last seen movie: Throttle; I give it a 3/5

The best scene from Swingers:-

ANSWERING MACHINE
(synthesized voice)
She didn't call.

Mike collapses into his futon and lights a smoke.
Beat.
He pulls out the COCKTAIL NAPKIN. He stares at the number.
He looks at the clock. 2:20 AM.
He looks at the napkin.
He thinks better of it, and puts the napkin away.
Beat.
He takes out the napkin and picks up the phone.

ANSWERING MACHINE
(synthesized voice)
Don't do it, Mike.

MIKE
Shut up.

He dials.
It rings twice, then...

NIKKI
(recorded)
Hi. This is Nikki. Leave a message.
(beep)

MIKE
Hi, Nikki. This is Mike. I met you
tonight at the Dresden. I, uh, just
called to say I, uh, I'm really glad we
met and you should give me a call. So
call me tomorrow, or , like, in two days,
whatever. My number is 213-555-4679...
(beep)

Mike hangs up.
Beat.
He dials again.

NIKKI
(recorded)
Hi. This is Nikki. Leave a message.
(beep)

MIKE
Hi, Nikki. This is Mike, again. I just
called because it sounded like your
machine might've cut me off before I gave
you my number, and also to say sorry for
calling so late, but you were still there
when I left the Dresden, so I knew I'd
get your machine. Anyway, my number
is...
(beep)

Mike calls back right away.

NIKKI
(recorded)
Hi. This is Nikki. Leave a message.
(beep)

MIKE
213-555-4679. That's all. I just wanted
to leave my number. I don't want you to
think I'm weird, or desperate or
something...
(he regrets saying it
immediately)
... I mean, you know, we should just
hang out. That's it. No expectations.
Just, you know, hang out. Bye.
(beep)

He hangs up.
Beat.
He dials.

NIKKI
(recorded)
Hi. This is Nikki. Leaves a message.
(beep)

MIKE
I just got out of a six-year
relationship. Okay? That should help to
explain why I'm acting so weird. It's
not you. It's me. I just wanted to say
that. Sorry.
(pause)
This is Mike.
(beep)

He dials again. There's no turning back.

NIKKI
(recorded)
Hi. This is Nikki. Leave a message.
(beep)

MIKE
Hi, Nikki. This is Mike again. Could you
just call me when you get in? I'll be up
for awhile, and I'd just rather talk to
you in person instead of trying to
squeeze it all...
(beep)

He dials yet again.

NIKKI
(recorded)
Hi. This is Nikki. Leave a message.
(beep)

MIKE
Hi, Nikki. Mike. I don't think this is
working out. I think you're great, but
maybe we should just take some time off
from each other. It's not you, really.
It's me. It's only been six months...

NIKKI
(Live, in person. she picks
up the line)
Mike?

MIKE
Nikki! Great! Did you just walk in, or
were you listening all along?

NIKKI
(calmly)
Don't call me ever again.

MIKE
Wow, I guess you were home...
(click)

She hung up on him.
He's frozen.
He hangs up.
Beat.

almost had me in tears when i saw it the 1st time (the answering machine sequence)

Jon Favreau has excellent comic timing, and a great expressionable face.

"It's not you, it's me"...

"This is mike."

lol!

the trailer scene at the beginning (after Vegas) too
nicely handled by vaughan ... dissapointed - but not bitter :)
