Yeah, so not sure what the policy is on starting threads.
Don't see too many here, actually.
Yeah, yeah, OK.
So I saw *The French Connection* again the other night, and the first half of *The French Connection 2*, which I hadn't seen, and, actually didn't know existed. The *FC* is a much, much better movie than I remember -- actually pretty fucking good.
I didn't realize that Roy Scheider must have been like the tits or something even in the early 1970s, pre-Jaws, pre-whatever-that-Fosse-movie-was-called. (Even pre-*2010*! OK, kidding about the last. The only thing I still find amusing about that movie is the only thing I thought was memorable when I was a child and saw it -- "easy like cake!")
Oh yeah, so whatever.
Right. So, why was Hackman's character nicknamed "Popeye" anyway?
Some French asshole in *FC2* joked about it, like "I bet you like the spinach! harhar," but that doesn't count.
Yeah, so hook me up with some deets.
