Douglas I think probably would have been good in The Swimmer, however the deconstruction of sort of that masculine confidence I don't think would have had as much of an impact given that even Douglas's most powerful characters usually have some sense of desperation in them.<br /><br />Luke:<br /><br />3.5, 4.5, I can simply forget sometimes. 3.5.<br /><br />Director's Cut<br /><br />Probably just the version with Lancaster's own vocals.<br /><br />It will be on soon. The review would have been posted last night but my power went out to be honest.<br /><br />Bryan:<br /><br />Cage:<br /><br />The Joker (strange Cage has never played a comic book villain)<br />Howard Beale<br />Cal Trask<br /><br />Downey:<br /><br />Chuck Tatum (Ace in the Hole)<br />Randle McMurphy<br />J.J.

I always love Matt Ross as Gavin Belson but his story right now feels very much "Looks like Gavin Belson is up to his old trick again.". Again Jian-Yang doesn't feel like a natural replacement for Erlich as he's still very much a one note character, as written, leaving his scenes rather strange. I've seen better Dinesh/Gilfoyle rivalry plots in the past, but I got at least a minor chuckle there. The overarching plot though I don't love as Richard struggling with obnoxious employees, who he could easily just fire, has an inherent problem within it rather in the past he was usually dealing with someone he had to deal with. Certainly didn't hate the episode, but I was more than a little underwhelmed.<br /><br />Hugh Jackman to a certain extent.<br />Timothy OlyphantLouis Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07933180959140340196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-74406860838713444292018-04-05T14:55:15.232-04:002018-04-05T14:55:15.232-04:00Anonymous:

Having said that it would have to be closer to the work where Hopper most directly employs that like in River's Edge, his early westerns work, or maybe even Blue Velvet. I don't him fitting certain roles of his like say Hopper's Tom Ripley though, however it is still good comparison.<br /><br />Ah I would say there is a clear top five in that I would say if any actor became famous they usually have some quality that can be tapped into by a talented director particularly someone like PTA or David Lynch (unless you're Michael Cera). Jean Claude Van Damme did so, Eric Roberts did so, Sandler did so, Keanu Reeves very much did so. With the exception of Van Damme, the others had something there you could see. Reeves had River's Edge very early on for example, and with someone like Sandler you can see the potential there even in his bad performances.<br /><br />Omar:<br /><br />Wiest - 3.5(I will say she is good in portraying first just that unassuming modesty fitting for her character who is just going about her meek existence at first, and then is effective in suddenly realizing this more palatable ego in her more extroverted turn once she takes over a different role. Having said that though I don't think her performance quite makes this contrast as effective as it might have been. She is good, but I think there was some greater potential there unrealized somewhat.)<br /><br />Anonymous:<br /><br />Brown obviously has a great voice but he would have been all wrong for Superman.<br /><br />RatedRStar:<br /><br />Well deserved nomination for Jimmi Simpson (note: I have only seen that episode of Black Mirror), and I'm glad such a talented yet extremely underrated performer has been recognized somewhere.Louis Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07933180959140340196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-47088219022297761952018-04-05T12:39:06.626-04:002018-04-05T12:39:06.626-04:00Louis: There's a performance from 1951 that yo...Louis: There's a performance from 1951 that you may want to consider reviewing.<br />Claude Laydu in Diary Of A Country Priest (Some have called it one of the greatest debut performances of all-time).Luke Highamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07075392435078135757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-26219020277357814692018-04-05T12:36:30.875-04:002018-04-05T12:36:30.875-04:00Calvin: 1958 was the 7th of 10 from the 50s during...Calvin: 1958 was the 7th of 10 from the 50s during the alternates.<br />I look forward to Max Von Sydow in The Magician as well as Quayle in Ice Cold In Alex.<br /><br />RatedRStar: I don't want to see any radical changes to the order since I have a lot of requests to make and I'll be fuming if a year came unexpected and a performance I wanted to request didn't make it in.Luke Highamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07075392435078135757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-18870016912041185312018-04-05T12:31:53.853-04:002018-04-05T12:31:53.853-04:00Personally, I can't wait till 1958, but 1957 w...Personally, I can't wait till 1958, but 1957 would be cool too.
