Well, the man has been kind of busy, what with filming his Oscar-nominated performance in Kenneth Branagh’s “Belfast” (which I loved) and all the other things a fine actor does.

Agreed. He wasn’t even nominated for his performance in “Jungle Fever” that was so amazing that the Cannes Film Festival had to invent a Supporting Actor category for that one year so that they could give it to Jackson. And while I understand why Martin Landau won for his brilliant take on Bela Lugosi in “Ed Wood,”…

You never know - great acting can make you forget about physical resemblance. When I heard that Tom Hanks was playing Walt Disney in “Saving Mr. Banks” (an underrated gem of a film IMHO) my first thought was ‘but he really doesn’t look like Disney at all’. About ten minutes into his first scene it no longer mattered;…

In spite of my love of Kevin Costner and Kelly Reilly and my admiration for Taylor Sheridan I gave up on this series part way through Season Two, because I also love Wes Bentley, who’s a fine actor and I got tired of seeing Jamie made the eternal butt monkey at every turn. And it looks as if they aren’t going to…

I love Yahiya Abdul Mateen II, but why didn’t Laurence Fishburne come back? (I love him, too)

“The cunning use of flags” is the key to one of my all time favorite Eddie Izzard’s comedy bits. I bless you for citing it!

He did all three in my opinion, and it’s terrific. I don’t know why the box office has been ‘disappointing’, but nowadays if you don’t score big on opening weekend, you’re gone and don’t get a chance to develop ‘legs’. If this business model had been in use in the nineties, “Ghost” would never have found its audience…

I think I (platonically) love you for saying that.

The great Jeremy Irons also has a Tony Award for Best Actor, in Tom Stoppard’s “The Real Thing,” which I was lucky enough to see in previews. He was, of course, superb. He seems to truly understand Stoppard on a number of levels.

I loved “Dogma”. I love it still. Someone walked off with my copy or I might be watching it right now. And yes, Alan Rickman is ‘divine’ as Metatron. He’s very funny, but also, when called for, extremely moving, as when he confides in Linda Fiorentino the regret and grief he felt over having to inform Jesus of his…

I think I love you.

I know John Barrowman has been recently ‘cancelled’ (his defense of friend and sometime co-star Noel Clarke ended with the statement “If you’re going to go after him you might as well go after me” and, well, they did) but maybe RTD will have the clout to bring back Capt. Jack Harkness in a meaningful way. After all,…

Whether drama or comedy, small screen, big screen or no screen, hero, villain or any stop on the line in-between, he always delivered. I remember his taking the small recurring role of Wilson White, the network president in Aaron Sorkin’s short-lived “Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip,” and he was just perfect. It was one…

Tony Stark’s line is given unusual depth and resonance by having him say it again at the end of “Avengers:Endgame” (it’s not the last line of the film, but it is the last thing said by the character) as he both shows how Thanos’s ‘inevitability’ comes, in the end, to nothing, and does the thing Captain America was…

Well, they didn’t have Ian MacShane. Or Jessica Lange, for that matter.

I love this. And I may love you.

Murphy himself has drawn from this well before: the awesome Ian McShane playing a killer Santa in “American Horror Story: Asylum.”

Possibly lesser-known brilliant Charles Grodin moment:

I think I love you for that mashup.

I’ve always loved this film, even the theatrical cut with the needless studio meddling. To see it the way Ridley Scott truly wanted it to be seen is to see a complex account of the war over Jerusalem and its status as holy center for all three revealed religions. Not to mention that Scott is a true artist whose sense…
