Members Vee Posted June 13, 2023 Members Share Posted June 13, 2023 So talented and handsome. And deeply, deeply underrated for his excellent work in Sidney Lumet's underseen epic/spiritual Serpico sequel Prince of the City with Jerry Orbach. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 13, 2023 Members Share Posted June 13, 2023 He was similar to Spencer Tracy in having the appeal of a leading man with the roots of a genuine actor. There was that class of late '70s and '80s film actors who never really broke through in massive terms, the way someone like Tom Cruise did, but made some genuinely interesting, challenging films. He had so much intense sex appeal mixed with an everyday quality, the living embodiment of Gabriel Oak from Far from the Madding Crowd (even if he never played that role). I'm very sad to hear he's gone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Vee Posted June 14, 2023 Members Share Posted June 14, 2023 (edited) I've been meaning to watch the longer, even stranger director's cut of The Counselor, McCarthy's film with Ridley Scott. One of the single most insane moviegoing experiences I have ever had in my life, seemingly written, directed and performed by coked-up Martians, but absolutely spellbinding. And the DC is supposed to be even weirder. I'll be doing that very soon. The boldness it took by all parties (particularly Scott, who can write his own ticket and is never afraid to fail or alienate people used to his more conventional blockbusters, and McCarthy, who never sacrificed an inch of his character or style for anyone). RIP. Edited June 14, 2023 by Vee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DramatistDreamer Posted June 15, 2023 Members Share Posted June 15, 2023 (edited) Wow. Glenda Jackson. Anyone who wants to see the breadth of this woman’s acting talent should Watch Elizabeth R. And she put that acting talent aside for decades to go into politics. https://www.msn.com/en-us/movies/news/glenda-jackson-women-in-love-oscar-winner-and-uk-politician-dies-at-87/ar-AA1cA9tp Edited June 15, 2023 by DramatistDreamer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted June 15, 2023 Members Share Posted June 15, 2023 (edited) She lived a very long, productive life, but seeing so many legends leaving in the last few months still makes me feel sad. An absolutely ferocious actress who came up through programs that, sadly, are not there for many young performers now. A case for how important uniqueness and individual voices are in an industry that often favors the generic. Last year I watched her in the Music Lovers, totally mad, and not once did she come across as just playing a part. Even in the most broad, blistering moments, including her horrifying final scene. She was wonderful in everything I ever saw her in, but this was the role she apparently enjoyed most: Edited June 15, 2023 by DRW50 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
