'Destiny'
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.
They remade Flatliners? Huh.
My son HATES when they remake movies. He saw an ad for Flatliners and was telling me all about it, excited to see it. I told him "you know that originally came out in the 80's". "What!?" "Yep, with Kevin Bacon". "Ugh, now I don't want to see it". Whatever, kid.
They remade Flatliners? Huh.
With Grantchester! I realize that is not the character's name.

Oh, yeah, Ultron, right?
Not Ultron, this guy: [link] Oh, you're thinking of Paul Bettany, I bet.

Glad I'm not the only one thinking this! (Every.Single.Time.)
I was totally thinking Paul Bettany. Huh.
Paul Bettany
Hmmmmmm. Yummy.
Oooh, he played a really nasty character in Happy Valley, too. I prefer to recall him as Grantchester. Floppy haired, sweet but troubled drinker. A gentler character, from a more civilized age.
And Bettany has done excellent work in so many different projects, but to me he will always be Chaucer, from A Knight's Tale. "Tha one, tha only, Sir Uuuuulrich von Lichtenstein!"

We are one in this.
I just watched the Netflix original documentary Heroin(e), about 3 middle aged women (a fire chief, a judge, and a missionary) fighting heroin and other drugs in West Virginia, and if there is one property that is crying out for Melissa Leo to play the fire chief, it is this! They look and sound so much the same! I am now trying to cast the other two ladies mentally, but it almost seems like Melissa Leo is the only working actress playing over 50 but under 60!
ETA- Looked over other actresses born about the same time as Melissa Leo, and I think Bonnie Hunt should play the judge and Sharon Lawrence the missionary, but I don't think they get a lot of work...
