My mistake.
But yes, his character in Philadelphia was Oscar bait too.
Gay guy dying of AIDS.
Would you expect liberal Hollywood to not award such a portrayal?
That's because Forrest Gump was an "Oscar bait" role.
Hell yes.
That movie came out long *before* he died. It was during the run of Sopranos, no less!
I've always though that he would have been a much better fit for the Frank Sheeran role in The Irishman than De Niro was.
I also think he would have been really good as the ship captain in the miniseries The North Water, provided he could do a British accent, of course.
I can also picture him as Dick Cheney in Vice(and yes, I am fully aware of the humor there, what with Tony Soprano commenting on how he'd vote for Cheney as president of the whole universe) and as Tom Sizemore's character in the Mark Felt movie with Liam Neeson.
<blockquote>Mario Puzo’s The Wokefather.
Flashback to the ending of Godfather III. Michael has a nervous breakdown and is no longer able to serve as the head of the family.
Flash forward to the all too familiar scene of the various figures pledging their loyalty to the new godfather. However, we cannot tell who the replacement is at first due to some convenient camerawork. Only after every familiar face has pledged loyalty do we get a glimpse. It is Connie (a de-aged Talia Shire) looking exceptionally smug. The camera lingers on her, as if rubbing it in to the shocked viewer, until finally she speaks. “My turn,” she defiantly states.
End of scene.</blockquote>That's probably the only way the movie would get made!
Incidentally, both Martin Campbell and the cinematographer, Phil Meheux, did GoldenEye together.
I had the same experience. I think I might have made it to the third episode before giving up because it just wasn't holding my attention like the first season, or the two seasons of The Missing, did.
<blockquote>Same with Jimmy. One moment he’s berating Jules and Vincent like a headmaster cutting down some timid schoolboys, but as soon as The Wolf shows up he’s full of deference and respect… like a timid schoolboy.</blockquote>And Jules, for that matter. Early in the film, he's berating Brett and the others like a headmaster cutting down timid schoolboys, but then is deferential and acting like a timid schoolboy himself around Jimmy when the latter is giving the "dead nigger storage" harangue, and around The Wolf.
Makes one wonder what sort of person and circumstances would make The Wolf act like a timid schoolboy!
Holy shit! You weren't kidding!
The problem with this movie is that it did seem like for the first half hour or so, up until he goes invisible, and maybe even up until he rapes the neighbor, we *were* supposed to be rooting for Sebastian, what with the fact that Kevin Bacon is given top billing and how Sebastian does seem like the central character.
But then as he becomes more and more deranged and unhinged, the audience naturally loses sympathy for him and Linda and Matt become the people we presumably are supposed to root for, and they are so poorly developed that it is difficult to be invested in them.
Both good picks.
My own ideas?
--King George V
-- Captain Sir James Clark Ross
--John Foster Dulles
--John Young(9th man to walk on the moon)
--Anthony Bourdain
--Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam
--Jordan Petersen, as someone else on here suggested
--Hitler, as yet another suggested
If he was 20 years younger.
Or they digitally de-age him, and if the latter, they better damn well do a better job than whoever worked on The Irishman.
Yes!
He actually sort of looks like him in his current profile pic here on MovieChat.
I think you might be on to something.
A film that attempts to humanize the Fuhrer without glossing over what he stood for and his legacy, with him as his portray-er?
You've tickled my imagination.
Because he's a country singer first and an actor second.
<blockquote>They are not related... </blockquote>They're second cousins, according to Billy's trivia page on IMDb.
He's good at playing characters who are annoying to the other characters in the film/show, but entertaining to us.
Un-fuckin'-believable
*That* is the perfect response, PrimeMinister.
