He has a good ten minutes or so of screen time. He plays a character so totally different from the one in Game of Thrones and the Station Agent but does so perfectly.


Did you know that, in the 1939 Wizard of Oz, Margaret Hamilton has a TOTAL screen time of 12 minutes, including WWW and Elmira Gulch or whatever in the b&w part?

I would never have guessed. Talk about memorable.

They say that actors really appreciate performances where you don't speak. It is extremely demanding to captivate someone without even talking.


I'm not sure why you bring that up but the midget in Three Billboards did speak as did every character.

No, I didn't. She put in a great performance didn't she? I was actually quite frightened of her as a kid. I would have guessed under 12 minutes but I probably would have forgotten to include the part of her stealing Toto in the beginning.

You may enjoy this video I stumbled onto a long time ago.

I really hated Castaway, I didn't know
how it ended for years because I
didn't even watch it halfway thru.
My least fave Hanks movie, even Larry
Crown was better and it was terrible.

You? I had nightmares for years, was
totally afraid of the dark after that
movie. Had a friend who had nightmares
long into adulthood, would wake up in
a sweat and lay there for the rest of the
night.

But I heard Peter Drinklage has a part


He has a pre-Super Bowl ad

You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

I'm sure Dinklage is aware he has to make
all the money he can while he's still under
50. Dwarfs are prone to lots of maladays
as they get older and many of them die
early or are severely disabled by crippling
disorders unique to little people..

Saw Get Out last night. It was okay. I'm not a fan of the genre, I have trouble suspending disbelief. Some really good performances, though.

The Post

Fantastic! You wouldn't think a movie about a newspaper's decision whether or not to publish top secret documents would be an entertaining crowd pleaser, but Spielberg pulled it off...

Great acting all around. Besides Streep and Hanks, this movie is stacked with great character actors in minor roles.

Afterwards, it made me excited to think about all the great movies we will get someday about our current criminal administration...
