And The Bomb in Dark Star!
Also, Graham Greene stole Thunderheart and Dame Judith Anderson’s Mrs. Danvers was the the most memorable character in Rebecca. (Gee, I wonder if those two movies have ever been mentioned in the same sentence before.)
“Wait! I’m not numb!”
John Gielgud as the butler in Arthur, the Dudley Moore/Liza Minnelli comedy.
Arthur (Moore), drunkenly: Hobson, I’m going to take a bath.
Hobson, (dry as a bone): I’ll alert the media.
I liked this line even better, spoken to Arthur’s one-night sleepover girl:
“I eagerly anticipate your next syllable!”
Angelina Jolie in Girl, Interrupted
Evanna Lynch as Luna Lovegood in Harry Potter and the Order Of The Phoenix.
I don’t remember it that way at all. I also remember Bend It Like Beckham being at best a marginal cult hit that critics loved. On the level of Chocolat, as an example.
I clearly remember reading the EW review for (or article in anticipation of) the first PotC movie. They railed against the sexist bias in Hollywood specifically because of Keira Knightley. Why, they asked, does Hollywood always look for name male actors in their big franchises, and then always cast disposable no-name starlets with no experience alongside them? They then went on to list a bunch of established female stars they wish had been given a chance instead of what’s-her-name from that soccer movie.
This was evidence, so they said, of how established women have a bias against them because Hollywood always prefers a younger nobody to an older star.
Pullman?
Jack Nicholson also stole Little Shop of Horrors, showing that he could make it in movies.
Bottleshock BTY Alan Rickman will be in Florence,Italy 15 July for a wine tasting and screening of the film.
Missed the edit meant BTW.
No actor would have to steal that film. It was more the type of film where one leaves after a day’s shooting and discovered it stuck to the bottom of a shoe.
My vote as well.
it looked to me that Mikey Rourke as Marv stole “Sin City”. It was an ensemble piece but really, when you think of “Sin City” you think of Marv. Rosario Dawson also did a very good job of embiggening her character a great deal … she projected real menace.
huh. I can’t even remember Will Ferrell in Wedding Crashers.
He’s moved on to crashing funerals.
So? According to Tanbarkie, the production people themselves say he wasn’t supposed to be a main character at first, and that this was changed due to Depp’s performance. Given that information, I’d say he was played up after they realized he was going to be giving such a good performance. This makes him the rare example of someone who stole the show before it was released.
(Heath Ledger’s The Joker would also qualify, although he did it much later in the cycle.)
oh yeah! I forgot all about that. He apparently didn’t make an impression on me at all. If anything, it was a negative impression.
Not a dark horse at all - it was one of the first I thought of.
Brimley has fabulous lines: “Now we’ll talk all day if you want to. But, come sundown, there’s gonna be two things true that ain’t true now. One is that the United States Department of Justice is gonna know what in the good Christ is going on around here. And the other’s I’m gonna have somebody’s ass in my briefcase.”
And this one: “We can’t have people go around leaking stuff for their own reasons. It ain’t legal. And worse than that, by God it ain’t right.”
Donkey stole the movie from Shrek!
