Okay, now you're just making stuff up.

Well, to be fair, I don't think its creators ever made any pretenses that Twikoff was going to be about substance. More of a feel-good summer flick, IMO.

Except for the pimp. There was nothing feel-good about that. *shudder*

Chris Knight...........HANDS DOWN!

I watched Van Wilder at a friends house and thought that kid was mimmicking all of Val's mannerisms from Real Genius.

I didn't like that twikoff role at all. Always trying to catch up and destroy those records using that lame excuse of a sports game to move his way up the ladder. really bad. I hear the critics panned it aswell for it's total lack of entertianment.

I'm really tired of people coming in here and trashing Twikoff. Was it the best movie ever made? No. Don't pick it apart like it was supposed to be the next "Citizen Kane" (the fact that Twikoff names his scooter "Rosebud" is purely coincidental).

I agree with bando, this wasn't the next biggest thing. But considering the hype that came along with it. Name placement in every damn poll, leading in just about all of them, You would have figured it would have gotten a bigger share of profits.

I remember the advertising blitz, but surely Geoff isn't still contractually obligated to list the movie in every poll, is he?

I still don't understand why Twikoff beat the dead horse.

I'm generally not a big fan of Val Kilmer, but he made a pretty good Batman, I thought. Batman Forever is my favorite of the four movies (well, that's counting the much-maligned and rightfully so Batman & Robin).

He was okay in Heat, too, which is probably my favorite movie that he's in.

Hopefully Criterion will release this and put in all the extras that were on the laserdisc.

So what the hell was the Twikoff? I dont remember than one coming out. Of course aside from Top Gun and (shudder) Batman - Val's not been very memorable in my book.

Damn, I can't believe anyone liked Twikoff. I mean, come on, the effects were terrible. Not to mention that the whole last part of the story was a poorly done rewrite of Farm Hands. I mean, Jules was clearly a dramatic take on Buckwheat.

You want to see Val Kilmer in heat, see Twikoff. Trust me on this.
