Comments on: ‘Coffee is for closers!’ http://blogs.e-rockford.com/movieman/2008/06/23/coffee-is-for-closers/ When film critic Will Pfeifer isn’t watching movies, he’s reading about movies, talking about movies, thinking about movies or dreaming about movies. Now he shares that unhealthy obsession with you. From Hollywood hits to Japanese obscurities, from Oscar night to the summer season, he’s got movies on the brain — and on this blog.

It really is a great scene (for those who don't know what we're talking about, it's the one with Christopher Walken and Hopper discussing Sicilian history). It's probably, in fact, the best scene in the movie -- and it's just two guys talking. Another scene that gets mentioned a lot is Alfred Molina as the crazy coke dealer at the end of BOOGIE NIGHTS. It's so good it makes the song "Sister Christian" by Knight Ranger sound compelling. I do know the scene — and it comes up a lot in the comments field of the Onion list.

Way to recycle your own material!! Next thing you know they'l be including Mike Myers and all the stuff he reuses over and over in everything he's ever done.
