Liveblogging 'Legend' (Ridley Scott, 1986), the most boring movie I've seen in a really, really long time


I don't know what Gawker is waiting for, but this Ridley Scott movie from 1986 with Tom Cruise and Mia Sara has some amazing lines that could be perfectly recontextualized into video clips of Cruise's descent into madness.

Here is a little though hilarious IMDB gaffe in the film's 'trivia' section:

Composer Jerry Goldsmith's original score was removed by the studio after the first round of test screenings. In an effort to appeal to "the kids", executives commissioned Tangerine Dream to create a replacement. Until 2002, Goldsmith's original score was heard only with the film's European release.

Click on that link. Who knew Tangerine Dream the pornstar gets precedence over Tangerine Dream the iconic 80s electronica act.

Now, for some more interesting trivia. It looks like Keith Richards wasn't only the inspiration for Captain Jack Sparrow. According to IMDB, his face was the source material for the Blix the Goblin (pictured above). See the comparison?


Do I really need to finish watching this movie?
