Arch Stanton Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 When I was a student in the late 80s I used to go the GFT several times a week, especially in the afternoons. During that brief period when Marianne Sagebrecht was flavour of the month I went to see Baghdad Cafe. Being an afternoon showing (and I'm sure it when it was only one screen) there was "fingers on one hand" in attendance and yet there was some cunt talking all the way through the film and smoking. Eventually I turned round and did the "sshhhh" gesture to see it was Robbie Coltrane. He did the "both arms outstretched gesture", stopped talking for about 30 seconds but resumed as bad as before. I sat somewhere else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fullerene Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 In the film "Flash Gordon", who would have imagined that the actor who got to close the plane door at the start of the film would become better known than the actor who played the title role. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted October 16, 2022 Author Share Posted October 16, 2022 Week 42 update Two deaths this week. Up first, Angela Lansbury: Dame Angela Lansbury obituary | Television & radio | The Guardian Quote Although she was born in London, and retained a classic English poise all her life, Angela Lansbury, who has died aged 96, was a Hollywood and Broadway star for more than seven decades, and one who was completely unclassifiable. On her film debut, she played Ingrid Bergman’s cockney maid in George Cukor’s Gaslight (1944) and was promptly nominated for an Oscar, though she was never to win one. She graduated to play Laurence Harvey’s evil, possibly incestuous, mother – although she was only three years older than Harvey – in John Frankenheimer’s The Manchurian Candidate (1962), and then a dotty amateur witch in Disney’s follow-up to Mary Poppins, Bedknobs and Broomsticks (1971). This versatility, allied to her natural grace, vitality and chastely appealing features – her eyes were full, blue and unblinking, her face almost perfectly round, her mouth a cupid’s bow from the studio era – propelled her to stage stardom in Jerry Herman’s Mame (1966) and, in London at the Piccadilly theatre in 1973, as the show-stopping Mama Rose in Gypsy, by Jule Styne, Stephen Sondheim and Arthur Laurents. Lansbury had been initially reluctant to assume Ethel Merman’s mantle in Gypsy but, like Merman, she gave the performance of her life, full of steel and tenderness in equal measure. Her performance was more nuanced and needy than Merman’s; the critic Robert Cushman described “a slow steady build towards magnificence”. But she became best known worldwide for Murder, She Wrote, an American television series running from 1984 to 1996, with four subsequent TV films. She played the incisive and level-headed Jessica Fletcher, a retired English teacher, mystery writer and amateur sleuth in the coastal town of Cabot Cove, Maine, a sleepy location with a criminal body count as delightfully high and unlikely as in Midsomer Murders. I knew her for Murder, She Wrote but she had quite the prolific career in film and stage. Lansbury died at 96 so she's worth 29 Base Points for @Clockwork, @HTG, @Karpaty Lviv, @Stringer Bell, @lolls, @Ray Patterson and @statts1976uk ========= Second death was Robbie Coltrane: Robbie Coltrane obituary | Film | The Guardian Quote The actor Robbie Coltrane, who has died aged 72, was regularly described as a big man of the British screen. Journalists said he was heavy on talent yet thin-skinned as an interviewee. He disliked his encounters with the press. But the larger-than-life roles with which he was most associated – the criminal psychologist Fitz, Harry Potter’s half-giant friend Hagrid – demonstrated something else: they were performances of a kind of crumpled vulnerability that was also characteristic of the man. Coltrane recalled that during the filming of Ocean’s Twelve (2004), he found himself sitting at a table with George Clooney, Matt Damon and Brad Pitt. “These are about the three most successful, most beautiful actors in the world at the moment. And here am I. A fat boy from Rutherglen … What the f**k am I doing here?” Of course, this is how I'll always think of him: I think people have picked him every year since I started running the Dead Pool. I've never known if he's been unwell or he's just fat. He died at 72 so he's worth 53 Base Points for @mizfit and @sophia, with a Deadly Duo bonus taking that to 75 points each.

hearthammer Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 After a long and sustained bout of extreme hubris and not giving a monkey's about normal, working people, finally our collective suffering will (hopefully) be over. Whilst i didn't have them in the official Dead Pool, their demise would be more than welcome to all but their well-looked-after fellow establishment cabalists. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
