Actually was trying to think of any other half decent James Caan movies and it was the first one that came to mind, so I may have been exaggerating.
Misery is fantastic. The book is better but the film is almost very faithful to the text, too.
(The baseball bat across the legs scene is different in the book, as well as the mop bucket chapter)
The penguin being knocked and caught is as tense a scene as you can see.
All too no avail though. Kathy Bates was great in that.
RIP
One of my favourite character from The Sopranos.
sad news He was one of my favourite ever tv characters and the scenes in the snow with Christopher is probably my favourite ever tv scene in history
RIP Paulie
He was absolutely perfect for Paulie’s character.
RIP
Legendary character in an incredible show.
Whoa that’s crazy! Poor Pauline, he was my favourite character on the sopranos just for how fucking unreasonable he was.
That’s like 4 pretty recognisable Hollywood actors who’ve died in the last two days
RIP Gwynnie
Very, very sad news. The perfect foil to the best sports commentator I’ve ever heard, Sid Waddell.
If you ever went to Highbury back in the day, you’ll have no doubt heard the sound of a woman’s voice ringing out on its own, bellowing “Come. On. You. Gunnerrrrrrs!”
This is the first time I’ve ever been able to put a name or face to the voice, but she is an absolute ICON of the fanbase, and I don’t think there was ever a home match I attended when I didn’t hear her shout this. It came to be something that defined the matchday experience, and genuinely feels like significant part of my childhood.
Rest In Peace Maria Petri
I can remember when Maria stood on the North Bank and she’d get a big cheer when she shouted it.
RIP.
RIP
RIP David Warner.
Thought he was great in Mad Dogs
RIP to an absolute legend of the game. Real “listen on a car cassette player while going on a long drive” sort of music.
Brings back fond memories. A sad loss at 63. No age
Damn knew he was ill and was fighting to stay alive, sad news indeed.
To get to 103 and still be able to do things until he fell a few months ago is a great innings
Rip Bernard Cribbins
Ah he was so good in Dr Who. RIP.
