Never mind. Your job is done here.

Someone was paid a lot of money to come up with this crap, and today he's (it's a he, isn't he? I bet it's a he) already working on some new inane crap for which he again will be paid a ton of money. So maybe the joke is on us…

John Hurt, yes. Great. Though to be honest he had a knack for playing powerless people, so he'd have had to struggle with his film persona. But an awesome actor indeed…

Yeah, everybody picks on that scene. It is bizarre, especially when you read how it is in the book, but you could argue he's making a show to convince whoever dropped Harry's name that he has no clue. Or simply the director thought it would be more dramatic, I don't know…

I disagree. Gambon can play anything he's asked to. He plays really sweet and heartbroken as the man who's kept a flame for Judi Dench for decades in Cranford. I thought he was great in the last films, like in the scene when he begs Snape to do what he promised.

Gabriel Byrne could be a different kind of Merlin, too, Less braggart and more "wtf am I doing here helping this brat"?
God, I loved Excalibur when itI saw it a a child. Loved, loved, loved…

Hear hear…

Yeah, he comes from a time when fantasy/SF films were pretty crude, even if the stories were good. 2001 changed that…
Of course, he became a star playing another fantasy role, which to my taste is waaay lamer than anything Tolkien ever wrote, but…

hahaha, I'd actually go for his buddy Stewart to take the Merlin mantle, and it would be so cool to have him in both versions.

So true.

Harris was a wonderful actor with a handful of classic movies under his belt. I don't see why acting must be turned into a competition. There's room for everyone as good as him or McKellen in pop culture's collective memory,

Hmm, Connolly would have made a funny Dumbledore in the early outings, but I find it hard to believe he'd have got right the darkness in the character, which only surfaces in the last books. In that respect, I find Gambon a great casting choice.

Nobody wanted to go to war, that's for sure. Even the Germans were less than enthusiastic when Hitler took them into Poland (they warmed up for a while when they started to conquer countries left and right). But isolation, doing nothing while your neighbour's house is on fire, that's a different animal. Britain and…

Also, he can perfectly deliver a classic narrative if necessary, as Elephant Man or Straight Story prove. (And to be fair, other filmmakers that fall in the experimental category have never been able to match that) The point is that he "stubbornly" refuses to do so, which leads him to find wonderful narrative…

That moment when Morvern is in a crowded club listening to her own music is sheer audiovisual magic to me…

Fair enough…

Who doesn't? :) I'd watch a Gordon/Jameson crossover just to see him play both characters.

Weell… I watch this trailer and I see a Cyborg shot straight out of an Iron Man movie, and an Aquaman action bit that looks like Loki messed with Thor's shampoo. I suppose only the worthy can wield that trident too… Wonder Woman's been given the past World War as a point of entry treatment and her first badass action…

Hah! That Nickmobile scene in TWS was pretty awesome….

Aah, young and skinny, I see. Good call…
