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.
Ah, the '70s. I think that was Gene Wilder, wasn't it?
Anthony Newley, actually. I think he wrote and directed it too.
eta, yup. 1969. Wtih George Jessell and Milton Berle too. No Gene. Looks like it was originally X-rated in the US, and had Joan Collins as, I kid you not, Polyester Poontang. The mind boggles.
I want to be on a plane full of poisonous snakes. And I want to see others on a plane full of poisonous snakes.
Hell yeah!
I want to be on a plane full of poisonous snakes. And I want to see others on a plane full of poisonous snakes.
Heh, I also read a bit from him where he said he finally read the script just to make sure the title wasn't metaphorical.
Ahahahaha. I love Samuel L. Jackson.
Some James Bond fans are going to boycott the new movie because they like Brosnan better. There's a website (of course) craignotbond.com. Partly because he's "funny looking" and how can an actor who has a history of playing "killers, cranks, cads and gigolos pull off the role of a tall, dark, handsome and suave secret agent? ".
pull off the role of a tall, dark, handsome and suave secret agent? ".
Hair dye? He's reasonably tall already, and the suavity of James Bond has been a joke for a really long time.
"killers, cranks, cads and gigolos pull off the role of a tall, dark, handsome and suave secret agent? "
Aside from possibly "gigolo", how do these not apply to Brosnan?
A guy who plays killers playing Bond? Heresy! And the cad/gigolo thing? Bond? Slick? A sexual negotiator? Love them and leave them? NEVER.
and how can an actor who has a history of playing "killers, cranks, cads and gigolos pull off the role of a tall, dark, handsome and suave secret agent? ".
And how can the man who played King Philip in The Lion in Winter (who, the movie made obvious, had a sexual relationship with Richard) play the lady-killer Bond?
Oh, wait, that was Timothy Dalton.
On another subject, any buzz about She's the Man? I saw an ad for it, and it looks like Shakespeare's Twelfth Night reworked as a teen comedy. Which could be fun or could be a disaster.
Oh, wait, that was Timothy Dalton.
And the prettiest, fey-est Timothy Dalton evar. His film debut, no less, and he plays all three princes like marionettes.
(And if you're looking for more Bond justification, how the hell did the dude from Darby O'Gill and the Little People end up as a fricken secret agent?)
