Re: Re: Re: Interference's Favorite Actors/Actresses/Directors - Voting Thread

Dogma.

 

[Lancemc]

I forgot about Sigourney Weaver. She's probably like #3 on my list then.

There is no Dana, only Zuul!

 

[Tiger Edge]

Are you the Key Master???

I'm the Gate Keeper.

Anyway, I'm trying to compile my list but it's getting difficult. I keep crossing out people and rearranging my order around. At least it's making the hours fly by at work.

 

[LMP]

So... she's a dog.

 

[No spoken words]

escape from new york

kurt russell is so freakin badass
i love it

"Snaaaaake Pliskin. What are you doing down here with a gun, Snake?"

I'd love to say that line.

Did I fucking leave Mallick off of my list? Shit.

 

[Tiger Edge]

So... she's a dog.

Are you a god?

.....No

Then DIIIIIIIIIE!
--
RAY! WHEN SOMEONE ASKS YOU IF YOU ARE A GOD YOU SAY YES.

 

[LMP]

RAY! WHEN SOMEONE ASKS YOU IF YOU ARE A GOD YOU SAY YES.

my two favorite lines in that entire sequence:

...Go get her, Ray!

and of course:

AIM FOR THE FLAT-TOP!

Man, Ghostbusters really is one of the coolest movies ever. That movie would not work if it were made today.

===

I tried to chose the actors based on their most believable roles. It's hard to pick for someone like Tom Hanks, who has a bunch of great movies, but I believed he was a 12 year old in the body of a 30 year old guy in Big. I could have picked The Green Mile, for instance, but the challenge is to play something so far from yourself, and to play it well. (See Gary Oldman, Sid and Nancy).

 

[elevation2u]

american splendor iz tha shitt!

seriously, it's a great film and giamatti delivers the goods quite well (like usual), one of my favorite movies

 

[Slapnutz]

Anyone who chooses Colin Farrell as favourite actor will suffer a horrible death involving a blow torch and a rabid squirrel.
