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.
Other great Fishburne roles:
The undercover cop in DEEP COVER (although Jeff Goldblum is the one who walks away with the movie)
Jimmy Jump in KING OF NEW YORK (where HE walks away with a movie that includes Christopher Walken, Giancarlo Esposito, Steve Buscemi, Wesley Snipes and David Caruso all doing superlative work).
Other great Fishburne roles:
I quite liked him in Othello - he had that slightly brittle (almost manic, but not hyper) quality that I always associate with the role.
That Oscar nom he got for What's Love Got to Do with It? is well-deserved, IMO. He had the charm and viciousness in equal amounts.
Also, Laurence Fishburne?
Great taste in women.
True dat.
Yeah, his Ike made you understand both why she stayed and why she had to bail. A trick, really.
That moment on stage when he looked at her with his back to the audience and then leaned over and kissed her on the cheek? Completely gave me the creeps.
Wrong friggin' thread....
Okay, Eccleston is playing Rider.
I read that as "Riddler", which would be an interesting casting choice, too.
