'Sleeper'
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.
I was PROBABLY originally intending to actually put something spoilery in the comment and got sidetracked by the tot. *g*
Hey, anyone know what was the name given in the credits for the cop who looks like Harvey Bullock? You know, the big guy? Gotham cop for ages?
Plei, I forgot to look, mostly b/c I spent the movie thinking, every time the Hispanic female cop was on screen, "Please don't be Renee; please don't be Renee; it's too soon to introduce her!"
Hey, anyone know what was the name given in the credits for
Was that the cop the Joker taunted and then got taken hostage? Because I think that was Keith Szarabajka (aka Holtz) who according to imdb played Detective Stephens. Otherwise I'm not sure who you're talking about.
ETA there was also an actor named Philip Bullock who played a Det. Murphy.
Yes, that one guy in the holding cell with the Joker was Holtz. Hard to recognize without the beard.
Holy crap. I did not recognize him.
FAQWife and I have just been (re)watching Angel S3 lately, and neither of us recognized him either!
I knew he was going to be in it, but i totally didn't recognize him until he was arguing with Gordon about...something.
I agree with Plei about Dent. First, I just have a problem with Eckhart even coming into the movie -- every time I see an interview with him, he seems exceptionally stupid. I find it hard to believe he makes it out of the house in the morning. So every role is compromised by that. Second, even if he didn't seem too dumb to be Dent, there is something sleazy about AE. I never bought the white knight angle, just assumed he was somehow compromised. He looks terrific, though -- that dimple does half the work. I have tried to mentally recast the role. Matt Damon, maybe?
Matt Damon, maybe?
He'd be a better Dent, but not a very good Two-Face.
Ironically, I think that a younger Jeff Bridges would have been perfect.
I think he'd have made an excellent Dent and Two-Face, but I'm not sure he's pretty enough for Dent. I am sure, however, that he has the chops to convince me of it. Damon's sold me on some serious crap over the years. I have reluctantly gained an appreciation.
So Holtz played Stephens? Man, physically, he was SO my mental Harvey Bullock in this.
Steph, I am glad I was spoiled enough to not worry that she'd be Renee, because she was So Shifty. And had I been worrying that she was Renee, I'd have been more cranky about the character abuse than the timing.
