Actors

demonrail666 · 01.06.2009, 11:06 AM

Which actors do you like? Any whose name on a poster will almost guarantee you'll watch the movie regardless of what it's about, simply because they're in it?

stu666 · 01.06.2009, 11:08 AM

Steve Coogan

rebecca hall: smokin'!

kate winslet: yum

and she's in good movies lately.

Edward G Robinson. I like him, and he played only in good movies, as far as I know.
Kirk Douglas. Same, plus he improves any movie by his presence.

Good call on both of those, especially Kirk Douglas. He did do some stinkers (Saturn 3!

) but I can only imagine how much worse they would've been without him.

He made a great Popeye, too.

kirk douglas = spartacus = UTTER SHIT

demonrail666 · 01.06.2009, 12:04 PM

Yes, but how much shitter would it've been without him?!?

considering he's the one who ruined it, not shittier at all

demonrail666 · 01.06.2009, 12:14 PM

HaHa. I disagree, but can't argue with your logic.

no, really, it's historic fact that kubrick interfered with the production to ham it up, the fucking actor, which he did successfully, but thus ruining the movie. kubrick then "disowned" the picture as he didn't have creative control of it.

Jane Fonda's one for me (workout videos aside)

And Alan Bates (the one man I might have gone a bit gay for)

I didn't know any of that, so thanks. It certainly seems like you're right. Although I'm personally not a fan of Kubrick it does indeed look as though all of Spartacus' shittiness can be placed squarely at the feet of Douglas. And there was me spending all those years blaming it all on Tony Curtis.

Rob Instigator · 01.06.2009, 12:41 PM

Clint Eastwood.

I will watch anything he directs or acts in. No problem.

BIRD is a masterpiece.

Derek · 01.06.2009, 12:45 PM

I don't really pay attention to actors but I'd watch something with Takeshi Kitano in it regardless of what the movie is.
