Oh, okay. I knew that narrator voice was familiar, but I hadn’t considered Christopher Plummer, and Max von Sydow doesn’t come to mind much.
My three oldest children (23, 20, 17) are all into Skyrim and associated games.
I liked “Knocked Up.” Two people had a drunk one-night stand, and when she found out she was pregnant, the two of them actually decided to become a couple, to make a go of it, for the baby’s sake. I think I read that Sarah Palin is a fan of the movie.
Testicles?
You know like Octopus
Oh Tentacles, testicles is entirely different thing
Love his movies hate his politics.
That movie is iconic. He must have no sense of humor. The more I learn about him the more I think Cusack seems like a real loser.
So it’s not just me?
I can’t do musicals...not at all. My mother just loved them; I agree that it’s probably a generational thing. But when the characters burst into song, I cringe.
But to each his own, of course.
Same here.
I liked One Crazy Summer as well.(not as much though)
“1. Sylvester Stallone, Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot”
If my ex-girlfriend and I had remained on speaking terms, I’d still be apologizing for taking her to see “Tango and Cash.”
And while we’re on the subject, did anyone regret making “Battlefield Earth”?
“Were you paid?
Then shaddupaboutit.”
Extremely well put!
It’s amazing how many people remember those silly comedies (which are great) vs. the emotional dreck of Oscar winning movies like Kramer vs. Kramer.
About that boy he asked not to see the movie again...he also said in an interview that he saw in the boy’s eyes “a tiny spark of madness”. He also recalled that the boy went away sad because his ‘hero’ had asked him not to like his favorite thing. The boy’s mother didn’t take kindly to Sir Alec’s suggestion.
I’ve seen fans who have that ‘spark of madness’ he spoke of, not only for ‘Star Wars’, but for other things as well. It isn’t pretty.
Megan Fox was a hot item in the Transformers movies. Then she called the director a NAZI, and she was written out of the series. She has done some work, but nothing of the caliber of Transformers, which is really saying something.
Some people, after winning the lottery of being picked for a part in a big movie that ten thousand other waitresses in Los Angeles can do just as well, just can't keep their mouth shut and cash the checks. They want to do "ART," but dont realize 99% of acting is just showing up, saying a few lines, cashing the check, and going home. Then maybe , once or twice in a career, achieving "ART."
LOL!

Reminds me of something in Charlton Heston's memoirs. He asked a director, "What's my motivation in this scene?" and the director answered, "To hit your mark and say your line when I say TEN, because we can only afford to shoot this scene once!"
Climb Every Mountain by the Head Nun was great, as well!
His voice work as The Joker for much of the animated Batman work is outstanding. The stage training carries through in that. He was also very good in The Big Red One. The scene with him finally getting over his jitters at the ovens was good.
I don’t see why he should have hated his performance in “Arsenic and Old Lace”, its a wonderful movie.
Seems that’s why Nicholas Cage is in so many movies of late: in dire need of money (huge serious debts) so he’ll make anything (including a movie based on the back cover of the novel _Left_Behind_.
This from a man who made a movie about professional arm wrestling.

Yes, I saw on FR that he’s got a large tax bill.
Of course you can never really trust an artist to judge their own work. Pet Townshend hates Pinball Wizard and thinks The Ironman is the best album he ever made.
