'Ariel'
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.
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.
Maybe they don't have SAG cards?

How tall was Andre the Giant? Though he's probably categorized more as a wrestler, though, right?

Nah, they have to have SAG cards, I figure.
I can see some of that argument, but I figure by the time you are the name above the title, you're an actor too, no matter how you normally make your money -- Muresan, NSM. Shaq, MJ, yeah. Rodman even had a gig on a TV series.
