My blog where I write about films I enjoy and post interviews I've done with actors and filmmakers. I am a sci-fi fan, an action film nerd, and into both arthouse films and B-movie schlock.

Observation on Steve Buscemi in Airheads
I watched Airheads recently, and I've seen it several times, but came
to this relevation: Steve Buscemi was pretty much the best actor in the
whole movie. He just dominated every scene he was in, and was a total
scene-stealer from everyone else. I don't know how famous he was in 1994
apart from Reservoir Dogs, but he gave the best performance in the
whole movie. It was like if Mr. Pink joined a scuzzy rock band and was
desperate for attention, and resorted to holding people hostage in order
to get his music heard. Buscemi is a celebrated talent, and directed
one of the best episodes of The Sopranos ("Pine Barrens," where Paulie
and Christopher are lost in the snowy woods), but I didn't realize how
much of a charismatic scene-stealer he was until watching this movie for
the fifth or sixth time. You're awesome, Steve Buscemi.
