Gary Old Man

but do you actually know what he looks like? I don't.

Like...when he's in bed reading a book?

"Littleoldman, Littleoldman..."

Some Mel Brooks fan you are!

I have only seen one interview with him, but it seems that his voice sounds NOTHING like any character he has ever played (even the British ones) and that he is very nice and quiet and polite and basically nothing like any of his characters.

Has anyone seen the movie he wrote/directed? I heard it was good.

nil by mouth.

it's well worth a watch. very sad.

Has he made ANY good films anywhere?

Batman Begins, True Romance, The Fifth Element, Basquiat, etc

I love, love, love Gary Oldman. So much to the point where my former housemate and I (where are ya, Kaliflwr? Surely you can't be ashamed to post of the glory of crush here) used to stay up for days watching his movies on acid, until we started the Church of the 13-Hour Blessed Gary Oldman Bra. (I'm not sure what this actually involved except pilgrimadges to various locations in our neighbourhood where some of his films had been shot.)

I've kind of lost track of him lately. But ah, so much good stuff (what other man could play Sid Vicious *and* Beethoven *and* Joe Orton?) that you forget the bad stuff (Ha-HEM State of (dis)Grace, Track 29, etc.)

Oh, and he's been naked more than anyone! I am going to go and poke Kaliflwr and see if I can get her to post.

Holy crap, I'd forgotten about that! But then... acid. Yeah...

And the only reason I like State of (dis)Grace is because...

I am ashamed. ;)

But really now, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead. How could you forget? Shame that he got typecast as "Crazy Evil Guy," because he's so much better in other types of roles.

My personal favorite role of his however was as EMANUEL JEAN-BAPTISTE ZORG in THE FIFTH ELEMENT, as campy as it was.

AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!

I am SO CONFUSED!!! I refuse to believe that it ever made sense...

(to the tune of that 808 State song with Barney Sumner on vocals)

Shame that he got typecast as "Crazy Evil Guy," because he's so much better in other types of roles.

Yes, see also Jared Harris. Too bad they couldn't star together in some kind of scenery chewing extravaganza... oh wait, they have! Lost In Space! (Why have I still never seen this? Oh right...)

State of Grace is such an unrelentingly bad film totally redeemed by the acting of the leads - Sean Penn and Gary Oldman, drunker than you've ever seen either before. (What was that line about "man, I gotta shower, I been in this shit for days, I'm tripping on my own smell" or was that one of us?)

need a brother say more?

breaking news

A little discussion over on Is this anti-semitism?

But yes, I guess Old Man is the part he was born to play.

Yeah, I mean we all do that sometimes. Personally when a cop pulls me over shitfaced drunk, I tend to rant against Mauritians. We're all a little guilty of this, it's just human nature. Let's own up to it.

All right. Shall I stop talking now?

probably

I hope he did that whole interview in the Commissioner Gordon voice.

PC *is* crap -- that's evident even to a drunken limey actor who's made shit-dripping movies for 25 years.

which minority do you miss insulting morbz

progressive Democrats

also fags with good taste in music

you insult those people all the time tho

they're essentially extinct is the gag see

“It’s a meaningless event. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association is kidding you that something’s happening. They’re f*cking ridiculous. There’s nothing going on at all. It’s 90 nobodies having a wank. Everybody’s getting drunk, and everybody’s sucking up to everybody. Boycott the f*cking thing. Just say we’re not going to play this silly game with you anymore. The Oscars are different. But it’s showbiz. It’s all showbiz. That makes me sound like I’ve got sour grapes or something, doesn’t it?"

Gee an actor who hates showbiz

well THAT's original

moar like

which minority do you miss insulting morbz
