"Alec Baldwin as Jack Ryan in Hunt for Red October."
Actually, in his younger days, I think he pulled it off. Of course, I consider any movie with Sean Connery great, even that stupid League of Gentelemen movie, or whatever the hell it was.
I'm not a Cage fan, but I have to admit he wasn't bad in National Treasure.
Edward G. Robinson in "Moses."
"Leonardo DiCaprio as a male."
Yes, that is irritating.
I thought he was good in National Treasure.
"I know it's TV, but Carrol O'Conner (Archie Bunker) in the TV version of "Heat of the Night"...absolutely sucked!"
You are right. Nobody in the cast had a real Mississippi accent that I can recall. Some folks did come close. And as bad as Carrol O'Connor's accent was, the phony Southern accent of Hugh O'Connor (Officer Jamison) was even worse. Nobody in Mississippi, unless they just got off the bus from Boston, says "cah" for "car." It sounds more like "coar."
I didnt see that one...I think if I see his name, I avoid the film like the plague!

LOL
Youre the second person that has pointed that movie out to me.
Maybe I'll consider renting it...but watch it on an empty stomach mind you!

In your post you refer to "thesbians." What are those, actors with alternative lifestyles? Oh, I forgot, they ALL have alternative lifestyles.
"What's up with black versions of old white TV characters (Wild Wild West, The Honeymooners)?"
It's called unoriginality. Just about as good as casting a black as Scrooge in "A Christmas Carol."
How about Leonardo Di Caprio as Shaft?
our Fr gang is much cuter than them.............
I'll call your bluff......
Now post some PICS!!!!
"Tony Curtis was pretty bad in Taras Bulba with Yul Brynner. That was about cossacks I think."
Yonda' lies my fadders castle. Was that the movie?
LOL!
The League of Extraordinbary Gentlemen, and, in a cartoony sort of way, it wasn't half bad.
(At least it's a step up from the endless replays of 'Thomas the Tank Engine' that was mentioned earlier!)
:)
ROFLMAO!
I had no idea what the title of that move was until you said that line!
(Being a HUGE Yul Brenner fan, I forced myself to watch it many years ago :)
My ideal movie is Sean Connery back as "M" and he comes out of the office to the field to save a young James Bond's ass. At that point, I don't care who plays Bond.
LOL!
That's a great idea for a storyline.
I honestly can't remember watching many Bond movies after Connery left.
Am I glad I returned The Aviator to Netflix without watching it.
" I honestly can't remember watching many Bond movies after Connery left."
They made more Bond movies after he left?
