ATLANTIS: THE LOST EMPIRE (2001)

I saw a post saying that Boromir looked too scruffy in FotR for a Captain of Gondor, and I tried to move on, but I’m hyperfixating. Has anyone ever solo backpacked? I have. By the end, not only did I look like shit, but by day two I was talking to myself. On another occasion I did fourteen days’ backcountry as the lone woman in a group of twelve men, no showers, no deodorant, and brother, by the end of that we were all EXTREMELY feral. You think we looked like heirs to the throne of anywhere? We were thirteen wolverines in ripstop.

My boy Boromir? Spent FOUR MONTHS in the wilderness! Alone! No roads! High floods! His horse died! I’m amazed he showed up to Imladris wearing clothes, let alone with a decent haircut. I’m fully convinced that he left Gondor looking like Richard Sharpe being presented to the Prince Regent in 1813

And then rocked up to Imladris a hundred ten days later like

Thomas Cromwell (Mark Rylance), Wolf Hall, BBC 2015

From the first scene I thought Rylance’s Cromwell looked like a jeffturley design, so I have taken it upon myself to reverse-engineer one, with dubious success.

I am hugely enjoying Wolf Hall, particularly how Cromwell the Spinmeister (through the medium of first-person POV filmmaking) cons you into liking him, but if you listen to what is actually said all the clues are there! What a lawyer! So delectable. No matter what his crooked eyebrow, paternal voice, or warm kind eyes might suggest, DON’T TRUST HIM. It is a fable for our age.

please watch the lion in winter 1968 if you ever watched a Christmas movie and thought this needs the gravitas of language and evil backstabbing of a midieval Shakespeare play

Katharine Hepburn as Eleanor of Aquitaine and Peter O'Toole as Henry II on the set of The Lion in Winter

Katharine Hepburn bested Peter O'Toole as the top dog on the set. Known to be something of a tyrant on most of his shoots, O'Toole meekly obliged, when she told him, “Peter, stop towering over me. Come and sit down and try to look respectable.” O'Toole readily admitted in her presence that she reduced him “to a shadow of my former gay-dog self. She is terrifying. It is sheer masochism working with her. She has been sent by some dark fate to nag and torment me.” Her reply: “Don’t be so silly. We are going to get on very well. You are Irish, and you make me laugh. In any case, I am on to you, and you to me.”

When filming wrapped on this movie, Katharine Hepburn said to Peter O'Toole, “When I started off in this business, my agent said to me, ‘never act with children and animals,’ but you, Peter, are both.”
