Speaking of people who were hot when they were younger, Gary Oldman in R&G are Dead was just delectable. So adorable and puppy faced!
Oh my god, I had to go see this movie twice in the theatre because the first time, my friends and I were laughing so hard we missed some parts. Ah, Gary Oldman, before the boozing went really bad, was very hot, then he got kind of gross. I have to say, I was always a Tim Roth girl. But where is he? I can't think of the last time I saw him in a film.

Oh, I thought he was very dashing as Sirius in OotP.

You are totally right, he's come back into his own. There was a period however, (I'm thinking Romeo is Bleeding) when he was just kind of scary.
I can count a non-raving/murdering psychopathic Gary Oldman roles I've seen in one hand. Lemme see: Sirius Black, Gordon from Batman Begins and Rosencrantz. Well, he played Beethoven in that awful biopic, but he was sorta raving in that as well, if I recall. He always manages to come across unhinged, which was why his lovely subdued turn as Gordon was such a shock to my system.
I have sort of a shameful mad love for Oldman's character in The Fifth Element. Actually, I have a shameful mad love for all of that movie. It's just so very over the top and so very clear that a sixteen year old boy who read too many comics wrote it.
I love that movie too. It's so much fun and filled with awesomeness.
Zorg. Gods, I love Zorg. The Diva's number is up on YouTube. Saves me from having to keep loading the dvd.
The digitization at the end of the Diva's number always makes me sad. Because if they had gotten a skilled opera singer, they wouldn't have needed it.
(Though I guess it might have been a conscious choice. Man, I need to see that movie again...)
I think it was a conscious choice, Ailleann. It really fit the style, as there was a clear switch from the regular opera to the sort of techno opera. I liked it.
Guess that's what I get for being an opera nerd.
