He was in a restaurant we were eating in recently.
I first saw him in Track 29… oh, shit; 24 years ago? How time flies.
Somebody give that man an Oscar already.
He was magnificent in Tinker Tailor … I will buy the BluRay. That movie made me go back and watch the Alec Guinness TTSS and Smiley’s People again – some of the best television ever made.
@TJ/ Jamie Sommers /TJ: Yup. (He kinda scares me, though.)
Gary Oldman is the actor I never recognize. Dunno what it is, I’ll be half way through a movie, then all of a sudden, “Oh shit, he did it again! That’s Gary Oldman, isn’t it!” Always so good.
@JNOV: He is very skinny, almost frail.
Speaking of Gary Oldman, he’s featured to great effect in Prada’s new ad campaign. To my mind, though, Jamie Bell’s mien is so naturally imperious that he blows everyone else out of the water.
@mellbell: He is so malleable – he can do anything.
70s day here today – Jaws, now Manhattan will be screened.
