The Salton Sea deserves to be watched again.

I grew up wanting to be his character in Real Genius soooo badly.

Speaking of brilliant trickster, I’m watching The Saint in his honor. One of my VK favorites, his accents are pretty good ❤️ +beautiful Elisabeth Shue? Win.

I'll 2nd, 3rd and 4th that!

Am I bad for not appreciating him as an actor ? I mean RIP to all the people who passed away on the same date. There is only one artist that stopped me in my tracks when I heard of his passing : Prince. Otherwise, for whatever reason, it’s the end of a circle of life

Like if Crispin Glover were sane and handsomer.

My all time favorite Val Kilmer movie

Also the first time I saw Graham Green in a movie, and he is awesome.

He always seemed like he might be puckish when the lights were on, but when the lights were turned down he wept. I suppose a lot of actors are that way, but that was my first impression when I saw "Real Genius" in theatres.

The documentary revealed that Kilmer was, in every sense of the word, a theater kid.

In it for the love of the art, embedded in a crew that goes back to school days, and more than a little clueless about managing the fame and commerce side of stardom.
