Agree, sort of.

He could spend six months filming a Bond movie, make armored car loads of money, then make small, artistic, quirky movies for the three-four years between Bond movies.

What are they waiting for? Dan Stevens just turned 40.

I have bought only one Funko Pop character. It has a place of honor on my desk:

Fixed that for you:

Is Dick Dale and Stevie Ray Vaughan OK?

I’m not sure about the math and can’t provide references, but there is a point to this:

The “standout performance” in Station Eleven was by Matilda Lawler. Everyone else was fine, she was excellent.

The only thing I can think of is a movie that needs the theater experience

I prefer the 2003 version of Peter Pan over what this trailer portends. Jason Isaacs played Mr. Darling and Captain Hook and he brought the snarl, along with Robert Plant’s hair.

If not, Alison will take care of him.

Repeating the disclaimer: I don’t know him, we just happened to be at the same event.

In Heat, the gang is confronting Waingro in a diner when someone takes notice and might get involved. Tom Sizemore gives him A LOOK that just says, “F**k off and go away.” Yeah, I would just get up and leave.

When does “That’s my type” become a “fetish”?

Luckily, while the internet is terrible for most things, it’s very good for finding things to confirm that your weird shit isn’t that weird.

I used to be an officer in the U.S. Navy and worked on two nuclear submarines. Getting underway from “cold steel” in the engine room was an 12-18 hour process with valve and electrical switch lineups, reactor startup and warmup, then engine room warmup.

FYI: The location in the lede photo is the Erasmus Bridge in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. The city was bombed to ruins in WWII but rebuilt with a lot of forward-looking architecture. There is a market hall / food court near the Rhine that is worth a trip to see.

I think Matthew Rhys is a fantastic actor. Shea Wingham is also good and I like seeing him show up; he’s taken over the “I see that guy in everything, what’s his name?” role from William Fichtner. Tatiana Maslany is a goddess.

I was at a social event several years ago and asked the guy next to me what he’d been working on lately.
