Given how well Tommy Lee Jones did the role in a different film, I think Thomas Gibson (who in many ways puts me in mind of a younger TLJ) would have been a far better choice.

After seeing yesterday Jim Carroll I think Leo would have been the better choice for Anakin Skywalker in the Prequels of Star Wars.
Weasel!
You mean DiCrapio?
That's right, the slimy weasel. I admit though, he does seem to play the ugly sides to HH rather well

I dont understand the cult status of Eraserhead, one of the most unwatchable movies of all time.
Amen Brother!!
All it ever seemed to be to me was an opprotunity for pseudo-intellectuals to prat on about how they "get it".

No doubt. Although I love David Lynch films, Eraserhead was terrible.

He can play ugly sides that is for sure.

It's one of Gilliam's weaker films, imo.
And, I am actually not a huge fan of Robin Williams' Beard's Movies. I don't like Good Will Hunting, either.

i like Johnny Depp just fine, but the idea of him playing Nick in a Thin Man remake is absurd. can't imagine anyone filling Powell's shoes.

I feel the same way about Reservoir Dogs.

He's a good actor, I just wish he'd play a man once in awhile.

The only opinion I have left on Star Wars is that it died the day Greedo shot first, and that George Lucas should have quit while he was ahead. The man's an appalling director, and not much of a writer either.
Amen to that. That's quite possibly the only film that has bored me even more than 2001
IMFNSHO, he was wasted in pretty much everything I've seen him in post Mork and Mindy.

Tarantinoesque black comedy is for people who have "attitude" where their sense of humor should be.
I completely dislike It's a Wonderful Life. I cringe every time I see it on around Christmas and I always refuse to watch it.

Edward, I have to agree - After Return of the Jedi, the Star Wars franchise should have stopped. The prequels were wretched, stinking, bloated wastes of time on par with The Lord of the Rings.

I think that when Hugh Grant chooses to act (as opposed to playing foppish love interests) he's really good - 2 examples are "An Awfully Big Adventure" and "Small Time Crooks".

Seeing the gore doesn't make the violence any more meaningful.
