I think it was Benecio about whom I recently read that even though he already looked a lot like the comics character, he insisted on makeup/prosthetics to get just right.

Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
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.
Damn -- Christian Bale gained 100 pounds?!? ONE HUNDRED???
Remember though, that's starting from his Machinist weight of approximately 7 oz soaking wet.
Heh. But still. It's like gaining an entire person. My wee college roommate was 4'10 and weighed a little under 100 lbs. It's like he gained a whole one of her!
Michelle Trachtenberg is cute.
I want to see this movie. I love my Dawny when she's being cute, and I love cheesy disney movies. It's made for me.
Why does the end of 50 First Dates make me cry??
It's ADAM SANDLER for heaven's sake.
It's ADAM SANDLER for heaven's sake.
He's not untalented, just generally misguided (un-abashed PUNCH-DRUNK LOVE fan here).
I mean, you gotta respect someone who goes toe-to-toe with Bob Barker.
And lets himself LOSE the fistfight, I might add.
Movie director Ron Howard is being advised to tread carefully when filming the movie adaptation of novel The Da Vinci Code this year, by not permitting albino stereotypes. The National Organization For Albinism And Hypopigmentation (NOAH) has asked film bosses to make sure the upcoming movie doesn't portray its albino character as a red-eyed psychopath. NOAH president Mike McGowan says, "One huge problem with (author Dan Brown's book) The Da Vinci Code is how (the character of) Silas is described with red eyes. That's a myth. Most often in people with albinism the eyes are light blue or even hazel. Ron Howard can make a big difference for people with albinism by continuing the trend away from a hack device if they adjust the Silas character to not be an evil albino. Over the years the stereotyping and misinformation foisted on the albinism community by film-makers does real harm to real people." Tom Hanks has signed up to star in The Da Vinci Code, which is slated for a mid-2006 release.
I do understand that people rarely write albinos that don't kill, but what are they asking him to do? Make him not evil, or not an albino?
