Hey, wait a minute. If you submit clay to high temperatures - don't you get clay pottery? Instant statuettes? Limited editions in this case, I guess. ~;^)
Probably not what you're looking for in the way of comments, and I promised myself I wouldn't admit to anyone else that I'd seen Daltry Calhoun, BUT... as reported in an article in the Tennessean, Sept. 23rd (I'm paraphrasing.)
The entire time Juliette Lewis was in town (Columbia) shooting the film, she would eat breakfast at the same Waffle House. On her last day, as she was getting ready to leave the restaurant, her regular waitress asked her if she could just say a prayer for her. After a somewhat short pause, Juliette said, "Yeah, you can pray for my band."
It's now being reported that if you're lucky enough to catch Juliette and the Licks at your local, upscale, hole-in-the-wall, you'll hear them singing, "Pray For Me, Tonya!" (dedicated to a now unemployed Waffle House employee from Small Town, U.S.A.)
Perhaps inclusion to the "look at all the worst movies Miramax has made" will be Daltry Calhoun. Although I enjoyed seeing my current hometown up on the big screen, the movie is just achingly bad. Qualified reviewers at link.
Seeing Salem's Lot up there made me think of another good David Soul T.V. movie... In the Line of Duty: The FBI Murders. Cast completely against type, I think it's Soul's best work (don't laugh ~;^) Worth checking out anyway. The link is to imdb
This may have something to do with it, Jim. When I tried the link before I'd signed in, I got the error page. When I tried it after I'd signed in, I got the correct recent updates page.
Ashton had a brief run on a TV show that I used to watch regularly, Hardball (1989-90). I always felt he had untapped potential. Unfortunately, his long-haired, manly co-star on the show got top billing. One of the better "buddy movie" transfers to TV that quite a few, but not quite enough of us liked. If I remember correctly, the good writing ran dry.
I already voted for someone else, but I can't resist naming a few old/odd others...
Bill Bixby (Tom Corbett) - Courtship of Eddie's Father
Fred MacMurray (Steve Douglas) - My Three Sons
Eugene Levy (Gil Bender) - Greg The Bunny
Chuck Conners (Lucas McCain) - The Rifleman
Hugh Beaumont (Ward Cleaver) - Leave It To Beaver
James Gandolfini (Tony Soprano) - The Sopranos
John Aston (Gomez Adams) - The Addams Family
Fred Gwynne (Herman Munster) - The Munsters
I don’t know… a Jarmusch film without sharp wit and Bill Murray without sarcastic nature… ummm OK, I’ll see it. Even if I thought Coffee and Cigarettes was a little hit and miss, I still love this guy's movies. A quick nod to my favorite, Mystery Train (who imdb's "one line plot summary" has done more disservice to than any other movie I can think of.)

The Dukes of Hazzard. Sorry I can't remember the exact quote. I was surprised it wasn't on imdb's quote list for the movie.
Speaking of The Usual Suspects, anybody here know what current movie (U.S.) that references the notorious Kaiser Soze? You may be surprised.

"Keep it between the lines." (trucker talk)
Correct you are. I guess I was stretching the synonym concept a little too far, perhaps making the term more personal and thus less amusing.
...ashes to ashes, dust to dust...?

Don't know if voluntary is required, but The Bridge On The River Kwai plays the engineering game.
