The man signed on for Zardoz, I think we can take the unreliability of his judgement on script/movie quality as a given.
No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

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.

The internet says Connery was offered Gandalf. I can't see it myself, though I'd love to hear someone do an imitation of him saying You Shall Not Pass in his slurred brogue.

Imagining Connery as either Gandalf or Morpheus makes me laugh out loud. That voice... "You schhall not passchh!"

At least with Morpheus I wouldn't have had preconceived notions that would make a thick Scottish burr hysterical; Gandalf pretty much had to be a storied British actor for the voice, even if they hadn't been able to achieve the Platonic ideal of casting Ian McKellen.
