'Get It Done'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Bowie, JRM, and Brody are the only three from that list that I'd agree on about the preternatural beauty (with the caveat that Bowie's the only one of the three that I actually find attractive). The rest are compelling as all get out, but I attribute that to the forces of their charisma and talent. Put the average person's personality behind their faces and you'd just have unremarkable fugliness.
Well, maybe in Kinski's case, remarkable fugliness.
Um, I guess? I haven't seen that movie for a long time.
I'd guess not. That scene is branded onto my eyeballs for the sheer awkwardness he suddenly sprouts and the way his hands flap uselessly and the ends of his bent arms. He's done decently with the soccer ball all movie, and now complete klutz. Killed what should have been a marvellous moment for me.
Are you counting that final running scene in Bend It Like Beckham?
HAR

Heh. Now I want to watch it again! I don't remember that at all.
He's considerably more graceful in The Tudors!

That's awesome. He's channeling Kermit.

Hee. The fact that I still manage to find him hot is proof of something.
I found this from the link interesting:
His role on Gormenghast as the self-serving cruel Steerpike, earned Jonathan’s character this fitting description: “His body gave the appearance of being malformed but it would be difficult to say exactly what gave it this gibbous quality. Limb by limb, it appeared that he was sound enough, but the sum of these several members accrued to an unexpectedly twisted total. “
Dammit, now I'm mad I missed Gormenghast....
Dammit, now I'm mad I missed Gormenghast....
It's on DVD.
It's on DVD.
Ooh, I almost forgot that I live in an age where entertainment is recorded for people to play back later. Huzzah!
I'll also note that Peake's original illustrated draft is amazing.
