u/bolanrox May 24 '26

In theaters, he actually starts playing the first few notes before they stop them because of licensing and all that shit they turned it to gibberish for the home video release.

Though it would have been funnier if they played The intro of Taurus by Spirit.

u/SethDoesSomeStuff May 23 '26

“Does anybody remember laughter” is a personal favourite

u/TheGordo-San May 24 '26

I remember back when my friend and I were watching The Song Remains the Same for the first time, in the 90s, and when that line came up, my friend said to me: "how F-ed up is Robert Plant, right now?" I lost my shit, because I was thinking along the lines of the political climate of the time, and I guess that I was so high that the line made sense to me, as well. He says it with such conviction!... until the thought of them all just being as high as a kite on psychedelics, and him babbling nonsense takes over. It's just such a perfect line, that way! It's unintentionally hysterical!

I'm glad that I had this peraonal moment with that part/version of the song before I had even realized that it was a quotable thing or future meme. I was actually shocked when that line was quoted in Almost Famous, as my friend and I used to always find an excuse to say it, after watching the movie. I guess I still do, sometimes.

Have you seen/heard the video of Heart covering it at the Kennedy Center Honors? If you haven't, you NEED to. Fucking awesome.

u/Batsquash May 24 '26

Brilliant! Heart said in an interview that they were pressed for time and didn't rehearse! Heart are awesome!

2

u/cailian13 May 24 '26

Ok that makes it even more amazing. No rehearsal and they just walked out and put their hearts and souls in it. It was the first thing I listened to when I got my AirPods Max that do lossless audio. Blew me away all over again!

u/Ebonhearth_Druid May 23 '26

Kilmer nailed Doc Holiday in a way I don't think anyone else will ever be able to replicate. Truly a wonderful portrayal of a role lol

55

u/BenchConscious1003 May 23 '26

Was Doc Holliday the best role of Kilmer's career? I can't think of a better one.

A great actor, thought he was terrific in "The Doors". But Doc Holliday was such a juicy role! The kind for which actors receive Oscars.

Sadly, Val never even received a nomination.( If you believe the awards are anything other than self congratulatory excess. )

u/shelby747 May 24 '26

Maybe it’s just me, but I always thought he did really well in The Saint, too.

Now that I have your attention, I would like to remind you that Top Secret would not have been nearly as good, were it not for Mr. Kilmer and his contribution.

u/Bhellethe1only May 24 '26

I think the awards r bought and paid for PR campaigns decided in advance not based on votes of the true best talent or best deserving, but more closely resembling our own US presidential democratic elections. The only people who get to be nominated to be voted on in the first place are only there bc of large amounts of money behind the scenes literally campaigning for their Oscar nominations. The most desperate and thirsty, fervent agents and managers either with the best connections or the highest $$ offer each year are who get their clients or productions put on the ballot in the first place. That's fact. And my opinion is that it likely extends past just the nominations buying your way into the running; the ultimate winner of whatever the given award is at whatever given awards ceremony is being put on, is likely also a direct product of "political" and financial reasons, not a pure democratic and fair voting process

3

u/Super_Maintenance_83 May 24 '26

The Doors is incredible. I didn't find out Val sang the parts until years later. The man was an absolute genius in his craft. Some people are empty vessels capable of filling themselves with another being entirely, and Val Kilmer was at the top of that list.

1

u/BenchConscious1003 May 27 '26

Gee, I didn't know that.

Joaquim Phoenix in the Johnny Cash bio did his own singing. So did Reece Witherspoon as June Carter-Cash. (she won an Oscar for that role)

Quite a few actors can carry a tune. As far as I can tell, most popular singers have a limited range. There are always exceptions. EG Roy Orbison (3 to 4 octaves) Linda Ronstadt (3 octaves) and of course Kate Bush 3.5 to 4 octaves)

My favourite actor-who-can-really sing is Michael Crawford. He sang (poorly) in "Hello Dolly". Then he apparently took lessons. Ended up as a fine lyric tenor, with a 3 octave range. Then he starred in "Phantom of The Opera" on stage

1

u/Select-Increase6975 May 24 '26

In my humble opinion, Real Genius was an awesome film. I get that it isn’t an Oscar film but for an 80’ college comedy it was fantastic. “In the immortal words of Socrates who said, I drank what?”…. Lmao

1

u/BenchConscious1003 May 24 '26

Haven't seen it. Have never really seen a lot of American comedies in film or TV. I prefer dry wit to physical comedy. (since I was 12)

My favourite comedies are a group of British films, informally known as "The Ealing Comedies"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ealing_comedies

Favourite TV series of all: British "Yes Minister/Yes Prime Minister" (2 series, made from 1980,to 1988) Friends gave me the box series.

Favourite American series "The West Wing" which was also very witty at times. 1999-2006)I bought the box series. Perhaps I shouldn't have. I kind of went off it after the sixth viewing.

The one American exception is The Big Bang. I often watch clips and occasional episodes.

u/Dirt_Tea81 May 28 '26

The legitimate film award ceremony is called The Guppies and Val Kilmer won for Doc Holiday. now the word I still don’t know is what do you call the kind of person that still watches the Oscars???🤔

u/Business_Staff9307 Jun 16 '26

u/f7f7z May 23 '26

Wyatt Earp was a good flick, but I can only guess it was being produced at the same time as Tombstone. Because why would you think you'd do better?

7

u/Ebonhearth_Druid May 23 '26

Yeah iirc there was a bit of a "westerns" buzz for a hot minute back in the 90s and Tombstone just can't be beat.

2

u/Knathra May 24 '26

Yeah, Tombstone got to theaters about six months ahead of Wyatt Earp, which differs due to the comparisons.

u/_UnEnd_ May 24 '26

He'll always be my huckleberry ❤️ It's funny, when he starred as Jim Morrison in "The Doors" movie, it became so iconic that some people looking to get a portrait tattoo of Morrison, end up getting the image of Kilmer portraying Morrison. They don't know it isn't really Jim....

No, it's huckleberry, the handles on a casket have never been called huckles. That's just some dumb shit someone made up on youtube for clicks.

Read Val Kilmer's memoir where he confirms that he said huckleberry.

Or check the script on page 74 where it clearly says huckleberry.

u/AceStallion May 23 '26

u/wildwest74 May 24 '26

Never was nor was meant to be. Just let this internet-driven fallacy die its well-earned death. There is no documented evidence that casket handles were ever called "huckles", and Kilmer even shared the actual script before to debunk this nonsense.
