Goggins and Olyphant are perfect examples (as was, let’s face it, the whole cast of Justified). Each of the men had distinct speech patterns, specific to the region - Raylan’s slightly less pronounced (he’d been out of Harlan a while) and Boyd’s more so (I think he’d only left the state while in the Army, but I might…

Thanks for the Brie Larson info/recommendations, guys. Wow. I’d forgotten she was in Community - the coat check girl/Abed’s girlfriend!

At least now Hound of the Baskervilles. with Peter Cook and Dudley Moore as Holmes and Watson, is no longer the worst Sherlock Holmes movie. Whew. Cause I loved those guys and that was an awful, awful thing to watch.

visualised through the imagination of the child hearing it.

Wow. Judging by your reactions here, you don’t like her OR me at all.

I’m not too hopeful for a Spielberg version, but.. maybe it will avoid the problem the original movie had, at least to my daughter when she watched it, in the 90s - “wait. Those are GANGSTERS?”

Damn. I’ve followed him since his book Cards as Weapons came out (and I still have a copy). I loved his work in Deadwood - he lent Eddie Sawyer such authenticity that, when he had to work the craps tables to favor one player over another, we never had to find out exactly how he did it...

Barry was one of the two best shows last season. The other was The Good Place and they both have D’arcy Carden.

Cap is my favorite superhero ever - and though he’s not a Stan Lee creation, Stan (and Jack) brought him back to life, and the whole man out of time thing (done so well later in the Englehart run) was Stan’s take (and Jack’s too, no doubt).

Why was Spider-Man so conducive to a great rogue’s gallery, and the Fantastic Four wasn’t?

Oh, they better not cancel it!  I just only watched it for the first time and it was masterful.  I didn’t even mind how it “ended”.. but there’s certainly more to tell.

I know what you mean, though, Dog Me - there was a novel by (I’m pretty sure) David L. Lindsay where the plot was pretty much “wait a sec, women are never serial killers, what if that’s what we’ve got here?” And, if you look at Aileen Wuornos... that whole thing about her being a serial was a ton of hype. Anyway -…

“Wild Cats of Kilkenny” by The Pogues is a fine one:  starts off with a scary scream.  Continues with it.  Plus it’s got a good beat.

All I know is I let my daughters watch The Little Mermaid and they kept combing their hair with forks. 

It was the Disney Snow White’s utter stupidity that bothered me. At first she refused the apple, then the witch tells her it’s a magic wishing apple. “A wishing apple??” and she takes a good chomp out of it.

Reported also that he was a pain in the ass because he wanted a lot more work done on the script.. which he would do, being a brilliant writer as well as an experienced, though pointy, actor.
