Yes! The whole movie seems heavy on crumbling/stretching/exploding faces.

It took me a few times to capture that bit about the face punch but it was so worth it.

Not related, but I love your icon!

I still think their best collaboration is Q, though. Now there's a film that needs to get capped.

What about Nam, sir?

I love the serious urgency with which the kid asks that.

Another favorite exchange involving Jason:

Mo: I didn’t come alone here; I brought a couple friends..Jason!
Exec: Uh, this is no place for a kid!
Mo: Oh, he ain’t a kid anymore
The Stuff took away his parents and took away his brother.
Exec: Have you brought another friend?
Mo: Yup! Him! (gun)
Exec: Now, put that away! You wouldn’t use it in front of the boy..
Jason: Like he said, I’VE BEEN THROUGH A LOT!

I saw this for the first time like two weeks ago and loved it so much I basically wanted to lick the DVD when I took it out of the tray. I mean, I didn't, but I almost did. I remember watching Michael Moriarty in early-nineties Law & Order--I watched like four episodes a DAY in ninth grade--and it's so refreshing to see him as a renegade corporate spy.

Oh, excellent choice. So, so random.
