Two Four Years Late to Everything

That Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is a heck of a movie, isn't it? Maybe too clever by a third at some points, but overall, it's pretty rewarding. And Val Kilmer's best work since Tombstone.

I wonder if Shane Black will ever get another bit at the directing apple.

Amen. Really enjoyed it. The acting and star power is so great that you glide over the occasional hole in the script.

And who cares about holes in the script when you're looking at and listening to Robert Downey Jr.? : )

Exactly. But, I've got to admit, the first time I saw it, it was much to snarky/smart-ass for me. Took me quite a while to see the humor in killing someone because you couldn't do the math.

Gay Perry was Kilmer's best character since Doc Holliday.
