That Video is not available in my country. But I would watch the next Bond movie, if Pierce Brosnan calls up the bloody billionare who owns the rights and make Tom Ellis the new Bond. According to Ellis, Pierce allegedly thinks he would be great as Bond - of course he would!!
P.S.: Super nice interview of Tom Ellis. I hate the fact he is so perfect. So wonderfully sensitive. Gosh. And physically anyway. Well, less perfect as he would have been without meeting his bloody Lucifer physical trainer, but I donāt mind it anymore (oh of course I will), if he becomes the next Bond ASAP.
I fully agree with you for once Gunda. Tom Ellis would make a perfect James Bond and adding a new facet to the character with perhaps an even more comedic personality.
It would help him as an actor to evolve to a different and prestigious role like that.
I saw the original and wouldnāt like to watch the remake of it. Not because I think itās less good, but simply because of the ugly fight and the intentional killing of the pets. That made me not liking the whole movie back then. And never rewatched it when coming on tv.
Even Benedict Cumberbatch couldnāt draw ne in.
But these funny flicks with scenes about the making are so funny and inviting. I wish they would have made a comedy out of that original rose war. I really, really would love to watch it, if at least they would leave out the killing of the pets.
Another guy I felt at home right from the first time I watched him in Barefoot in Park. Did many crap movies for money I guess, to pursue other dreams, and thatās totally fine with me. I loved him in Barefoot in Park, Jeremiah Johnson, The Electric Horseman, where he played a kaputt former Rodeo/Western Champion, who comes to his senses after realizing, the horse he sits on is drugged and then steals and releases this multimillion worth of a horse into the wilderness and The Clou. Loved that he rather moved to Utah because of nature and family, instead of a soulless city. I remember how impressed I was, to read in my youth in Geo magazine about him going on a several day lasting horseback trail ride, following some route to the hideout of some bank robbing famous Westerners, while other famous people waste their time with whores, alcohol and gambling.
The Electric Horseman. A wrecked former Western/rodeo champion, who has to earn his money for cereals and drowns his desillusion in whiskey. Wakes up after realizing, that powerful, majestic creature he sits upon gets drugged every time and is a shadow of himself just like he. So he steals it to let this multimillion stallion free into the wilderness, finding him a secure place and some herd. Chased by the company who owns it and the media.
Best horror movie Iāve seen in a while. I liked it better than Barbarian. I liked Longlegs and Black Phone. Probably top 3 horror movie over the last 5 years.
Have you ever watched Snake Eyes with Nicholas Cage? Iāve seen it but not since it first came out. Anyway, there is an interesting twist in one scene where a man named Charles Kirkland was assassinated with a bullet to the neck. Some say in the movie it happened on September 10 but I havenāt verified that, yet. I may commit time to watching again if I can find a version I donāt have to pay for.
Very interesting anecdotes by Peter OāToole about making Lawrence of Arabia. I actually have no time, but I have to take it. Fell over that video while having breakfast this morning. It was a delight.
I was magnetically pulled by both OāToole and that epic movie back then, when I first watched it on tv as a young teen and a few years later in my early twenties, when a cinema in Passau had a re-run of this old movie in the original english language. Went 3 times into the cinema, and each time I was smitten.
What a dashing, charismatic guy OāToole was back then. And then this monumental film.
Funny, his camel riding teacher was a relative of that real gold loving tribe leader the real Lawrence conquered Akaba with. And that it needed a young british actor, to introduce rubber sponges to generations old arab camel riders. The imagination, that probably even today, the Jordanian military uses those rubber sponges, given by OāToole, is ridiculously funny.
Oh my. Loved it. But now I need to prepare for my first meeting at 8 am. Soon, it getās less stressy. I hope.
I memory just flashed up from this video, while already working. So I had to come back for a minute to note, that it didnāt occur to me in those many, many times I already have watched that movie. I never made a connection between those two knife scenes, despite it seems to be so obvious now that I know, lol. I wonder how much poignant moments I else missed. But there is so much going on in it.
here in the netherlands (or at least from my experience) all meetings seem to be mostly a mixture of both people via vc and still some in person (this is after covid, before it seems all important meetings were only held in person)
Thatās interesting. Weāve gone whole-hog in Canada. Almost no hybrid-meetings (some online, some in-person). Meetings are either in-person or online, and most have gone online.
In my research business, all my important meetings are online by design (video recording, cloud-based transcription, ai-generated minutes) with no in-person participation even permitted because we need the record. I still get together for coffee with them sometimes, but thatās just a friendship thing even though we talk business a bit.
In my software business, I didnāt have meetings for years but Iām trying something new this year and Iāve had a few. 100% online so far.
