Qt3 Movie Podcast: one-eyed characters

In case this question is in earnest, the next 3x3 is about tongues. Which are like puns, but this topic will be easier to lick.

“Go, go…you question with a wicked tongue.”

Ever eaten tongue?

Thanks! It was an earnest question. One of the mentions did sound like it began with a T, but I seriously couldn’t tell. I probably missed a key sentence.

We get a little loopy by the end of the show, so I’m not surprised that we weren’t clear. That’s on us.

“Englishmen don’t know what a tongue is for.”

Of course! It’s a staple of any deli that calls itself Jewish. From Katz’s (“Ill Have What She’s Having”) menu:

No, but I have been to Dr Tongue’s Evil House of Pancakes! Creepy!

It’s delicious. Now I am hungry…

Wow, when did Robert Duvall play a Nazi?

The first half is a taut thriller with: Donald Pleasance, Donald Sutherland, Duvall, Michael Caine, Jean Marsh, Jenny Agutter (rrow) and Anthony Quayle.

The second half is a deadly keystone cops affair that inserts Larry Hagman playing a kind of angry, pseudo-Southern accented version of Major Nelson.

You’ve been warned.

And the ending breaks whatever internal logic was left in the film in order to create a stupid twist.

The second half is like a weird madcap comedy with realistic combat and death. Hagman is kinda worth it in a unintentionally funny bad movie way. Shame overall because the book is fantastic.

Edit: Treat Williams Who is also pretty bad.

For what it’s worth, Der letzte Lude translates to “The Last Pimp”, not the latest.

edit:
Is the guy on the left of that poster the one Kelly described as “dumb handsome, like Dingus”?
