Lucas never gave him the chance to do his patented 'sit quietly looking constipated' acting routine.Arthurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09289639279717534292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15290406.post-86059340479635419902016-08-11T13:13:33.916-04:002016-08-11T13:13:33.916-04:00That version of Le Carre's Tinker, Tailor, Sol...That version of Le Carre's <i>Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy</i>, with Gary Oldman as Smiley, pretty much sucked, relative to the PBS series with Obi Wan as Smiley.<br /><br />jdAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15290406.post-24755384734891504262016-08-11T13:11:45.489-04:002016-08-11T13:11:45.489-04:00It was only a moment before a superimposed ad appe...It was only a moment before a superimposed ad appeared and refused to be cleared, making trying to view the list pretty darn annoying.<br /><br />The other day I watched one of my favorite movies on TV: Louis Malle's "Atlantic City", starring Burt Lancaster and Susan Sarandon (whom I can't really stand, because of her politics, and because she doesn't come across as overly bright, but maybe that's redundant) and with the once-<i>floy-floy</i>ish AC Boardwalk in a supporting role. I wish it'd been on the list, along with another fave, "The Usual Suspects".Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12505066066594153737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15290406.post-9512959399015575742016-08-11T09:47:46.659-04:002016-08-11T09:47:46.659-04:00I'm sure this will engender some polite discus...I'm sure this will engender some polite discussion.lhttps://leelusplace.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
