I have a radical idea: maybe Hollywood shouldn't use so many Brits to play American parts.

Ted Bundy should be played by a handsome man because he was handsome, and in fact that's what's happened, most notably with Mark Harmon in the excellent TV movie.
He got some incredible breaks. He befriended Dennis Wilson, he got Terry Melcher to give him an audition. Nothing came of it, because he wasn't very good.
…sounds like turning down American citizenship was a pretty bad idea, then. Not that you can "turn down" American citizenship as everyone gets it by right of birth. So what you're really saying is that the pro-independence Hawaiians refused to vote and then got mad when they lost.
What a crock. If you were Bradley Cooper—a handsome, super rich, famous movie star—you would date hot young women. Yes you would. We all would.
Yup, I'd say that would be a bit part, not a cameo.
Worst post of the day award goes to…
Well sure. She was still good-looking when she died. If she had lived another 15 years or so, long enough to do guest shots on "The Love Boat" or whatnot, the cult of personality wouldn't exist.
Kelli Garner is insanely gorgeous and should have been a bigger star.
I don't care. You have to have the witches. Goddammit. "Fire burn and cauldron bubble", and that isn't in the movie? Fuck.
As do we all, really, because if there's one thing everyone looks for from fantasy TV shows, it's realistic concussions.
This is you, being ignorant, and being mad that the guy writing about TV knows more TV and movie history than you do.
"Egg—I dreamed that I was old."
That's a lot of TV movies, filmed stage productions, and loose "Throne of Blood"-style adaptations without Shakespeare's dialogue. And an Australian movie that was only released in Australia and apparently not even widely released there. "Macbeth" remains one of the least-frequently adapted of Shakespeare's works,…
The answer is that it wouldn't work, unless this show decides to flush any pretense of realism straight down the toilet. It might be just barely plausible that Selina is forced to resign after winning the election, but the idea that President James would pick her as VP is silly "House of Cards"-style nonsense.
That was one of my favorite moments. So unexpected, and accurate.
It's weird how few Macbeth movies there have been. There have been loose adaptations like "Throne of Blood" and "Scotland, PA", but the Welles and Polanski films are pretty much the only two straight adaptations using the original dialogue.
More than two? (Welles, Polanski)
They ran the Orson Welles "Macbeth" on TCM not that long ago. David Edelstein appeared to introduce it, and, because he is a moron, he said on camera that he was afraid to say "Macbeth". This made me fast-forward past everything else he said.
