Christopher Walken Turns Lovable? | |||
Friday, June 11, 2004
By Douglas J. Rowe NEW YORK In "The Stepford Wives," Christopher Walken (search) plays the town's foremost upstanding citizen -- a leader among men (who have turned their wives into fawning slaves).
"I was kind of the mayor of Stepford," he says, smiling. There's a touch of evil in his character, like so many of Walken's roles. But, gradually, we're starting to see his on-screen characters go from loony to more lovable. "Actors are fortunate if people want them, for whatever reason," Walken told The Associated Press during a recent interview.
Finally, he's "conservative" in his life. "I believe in saving money. I believe in having a house. I believe in keeping things clean. I believe in exercising," he says. "Slow and steady is a very good thing for me. It works for me." |

Ya' know, the problem is...this is a fiiine profile, but...there's something dat's missing. IT NEEDS MORE COWBELL! I mean folks, ehhh, it's just...THERE'S NOT ENOUGH COWBELL! Not enough for my personal satisfaction. I mean, you can't have an article about me...without THE COWBELL! Ima song n' dance man Charlie, and I just can't get my jones from a piece that doesn't have some COWBELL! I'm achin' for some cow bell Billie, and this just ain't cuttin' it.
The Coloniel...
I got a fever, and the only prescription... is MORE COWBELL.
Walken is one of my favorite SNL hosts. He can be scary or funny. I hope he is a political conservative but until I hear it from him I'll have to doubt it.
The Continental
Easy, guys..I put my pants on just like the rest of you - one leg at a time. Except, once my pants are on, I make gold records. Now let's take it from the top.
I'd think twice before accepting a gift wristwatch from the guy.
Walken freaks me out. I admire him for that alone.
I knew I was missing something from that "Blue Oyster Cult" sketch.
I'm kind of blankin' on "the colonial" though. Was that the bit where he played an incredibly inept Don Juan? 'Cause if it is, that skit kicked ass something fierce!
Coloniel Angus...
Mon Cherie, I will spend all night attending tu your desires. You are my l-o-v-e for eternity! Your shoe? Why of course, you will smack me upside of de head with your shoe. It is simply a manifestion of your PA-AAAAA-SSSSS-SHION! The undying embers of my lusssst will keep us warm through this cold wintry night. OWWWWW! Now mademoiselle, there is no need to get violent on such a loooovely occasion. Please, put down the revolver.
It was "The Continental," not "The Colonial."
Hey played "Coloniel Angus" as well...
Eric Bloom [of Blue Oyster Cult] still laughs over that sketch, to this day.
Was that "Pulp Fiction", "The Deer Hunter", or was he in "Barry Lydon" and I just don't remember him?
I need to brush up on my Walken.
Walken:
You're daaamn right you need to brush up on me! I'm not some two-bit nickle and dimer like that putz Dustin Hoffman! Show some respect pally-boy!
LOL!!!! When SNL did that skit, my husband didn't GET IT!!!! I was laughing so hard that I couldn't explain it to him. I think it was the last time I literally laughed so hard I was crying. Just as a PS, our last name is ANGIUS!!!!!
I'm sorry that your husband didn't get it...
