A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Plus there was something about his voice I really liked - he didn't talk like an "action" star.
He didn't, and that's what took some getting used to for me. I didn't like it at first. There was this cognitive dissonance between his look and his voice. I expected him to sound like Michael Wincott. I had to reconfigure my notion of the character: he wasn't this supernatural Angel of Death, he was just a rock star looking for revenge. There was something refreshing about that.
Pitchfork media says that an Ian Curtis bio-pic is in production. Rumor has it that Jude Law has been cast as Ian.
I expected him to sound like Michael Wincott.
Nobody sounds like Michael Wincott. Between Strange Days, Dead Man and the Crow, he's managed three of the gnarliest (yet completely different) raspy voices I've ever heard this side of Tom Waits.

He looked really familiar, and I think I remembered him from Strange Days and Three Musketeers. But yeah, pretty gnarly voice.

Oh, and along with Alan Rickman one of the only redeeming features of Robin Hood: Prince of Lame.
"Why a spoon, brother?"
I really would have liked to have seen the movies Brandon would have made.
I get a little choked up thinking about it.
"Why a spoon, brother?"
"Because it will hurt more!"
"Because it will hurt more!"
Hee!
eta, and I totally agree. I'd love to have seen what else he could have done. He only had one other (not terribly good) movie, right? Which was a more straight-forward action movie.
To the imdb-mobile, awayyyyyyyy!!!
. . . and cancel Christmas!
I watched The Crow a few months back with my best bud who, oddly enough, had never seen it. (Oddly in that we've pretty much got the same media vocabulary, most of the time.) After it was done she was all, "Ooooooo, lovely -- what else has BL done?"
"Die" was not the answer she was looking for. Definitely a life cut tragically short.
Julian McMahon is in negotiations to play Dr. Doom in the movie of the Fantastic Four -- according to Zap2it.
