I think I'll have to pull out my copy of Heart and Souls to watch tonight. I love him in that film, especially when the different guardian angels take over his body.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
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’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
His characters are consistent. It's like he has this magic wardrobe, and every garment is a different character, and as long as he wears that garment he is that character. Or something.
I seriously think the batshit crazy helps. Maybe he just doesn't have a good enough grasp on who exactly RDJr. is, or something, and that allows him to do the mad acts of genius (and also contributes to his addiction issues).
(Please note: I am not saying one must be a tortured soul to be a genius artist. I just think it helps in this case.)

Woo! Helen Mirren (so young!) and Diana Rigg from 1968 production of Midsummer Night's Dream.
Slashy slashy eye contact!

Helen Mirren (so young!) and Diana Rigg from 1968 production of Midsummer Night's Dream.
I remember that production! they showed it on PBS when I was a tween. Also, note the very young David Warner.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Beau and I just watched The Fall and I have to say that I enjoyed it more than Pan's Labyrinth. I think I just typed heresy, but I'm putting it out there. Tarsem isn't exactly my favorite director, I found The Cell to be beautiful, but a broken movie. I liked The Fall a lot better. It isn't wonderful, but I found it enjoyable - and needing maybe an additional scene or 2. Lee Pace was excellent.

For a movie about twelve dudes stuck in a room yelling at each other, 12 Angry Men sure is good.
