Damm

I think that was Dennis Rodman, not Shaq.

Who's also taller than Lee. So are Michael Jordan (Space Jam) and Alex English (Amazing Grace and Chuck). Shaq was also in Steel.

All of those exultation moments in The Incredibles were my crypoints. I get weepy when Pixar characters realize things. Add family-coming-together moments in there, and I'm done for.

That, the family coming together moment, where mom is the boat and junior is the engine was my one crypoint in the Incredibles.

The realization moments, or self-sacrifice moments, or giving into fate (the Elephant Man choosing to w lie down , knowing the consequences. Those get me every time.

Thanks for the Cliffhanger lead Matt. Michael Nouri sounds right.

Not sure why this is bugging me so much!

::skips off to imdb...the gift from G-d that it is::

God, I loved Cliffhangers! They finished the Dracula story but left the other two hanging! I loved Dracula's house and his dogs and the heroine's mother and Dracula being a professor of a night class ...

No, I wasn't watching obsessively and loudly lamenting every school play practice that made me miss an episode. I called in sick on the play practice that took place on the night of the finale.

Cliffhangers is not on Netflix.

Aw. Spit.

I think it's great that a black actor who's never opened a movie is considered a flagship of the American attack on world culture.

Flagship? No. More like a medium cruiser in the rear of the fleet. Which doesn't exactly make it any more palatable.

I do like Cheadle and think he's a terrific actor but if they did have to have a black American actor playing Bond, I'd rather see Sam Jackson in the role. Providing he wore a kilt throughout. And said "motherfucker" a lot.

The newspaper said that Radford had already anticipated the distributors' concerns by shooting extra scenes for television in which bare-breasted prostitutes who appear in the theatrical version are fully clothed for TV.

This goes back to the silent days and the "Biblical" epics. Directors would frequently shoot two versions of a scene; clothed maidens for US consumption and bare-breasted maidens for European audiences.

...Sony Film Classics has asked director Michael Radford to digitally retouch a scene in his The Merchant of Venice in which a naked cupid is shown in a Veronese fresco...

Someone better tell the child-molesters, people who talk at the theatre, and men who take sexual advantage of * seemingly -naive-young-women -who-then-drug-you-and-try-to -steal-your-ship to shift over because they've got new neighbours in their level of hell.

* white-fonted on the off-chance there's a movie thread reader who still hasn't seen Firefly.

I think that the difference between Christopher Lee and Shaq, Rodman, Jordan, and even Gheorghe Muresan (who was in My Giant) is that they don't list their occupation as being an actor. That's also why the tallest actor, period, is Matthew McGrory (from Big fish) at 7'4", not Muresan. BTW, prior to McGrory, it was Richard Kiel, aka Jaws from Star Wars.

Or so I'm guessing. They don't say what the specific rules are, so . . . .

Gandalfe ... I reckon you've hit the nail on the head. Lee is a professional film actor, while the others are sports stars who have occasionally "acted" in films.
