SPEARE'S TIPS - The Films of 3/9/12

[numbersix]

Yeah, yeah, and people read Playboy for the articles

Tranny, I think if they stay faithful to the books, you'd like it. Especially if you liked Battle Royale (of course, it's nowhere as violent and bloody).

Interesting, I'll probably give it a shot on DVD.

Tucci's a great actor !!!

Just watched him again in Lucky Number Slevin. He was awesome, of course.

I think the first time I ever learned who he was was on a TV show called Murder One in the 90's. After that, I never forgot him, and have grown to really respect him as an actor.

[Chienfantome]

Tucci has been great in good films (Big Night, The Daytrippers, Impostors, The Road to Perdition to name a few), and he always is the one good thing about the so-so or bad films he was in (Shall we dance, The Devil wears Prada, Lovely Bones, Julie and Julia). I love those actors who make bad films but manage to be great in them, and Tucci is one of them. I would prefer him to make only great films, yes, but he's great even in bad films.
And he was great last year in Captain America

And I do read Playboy for its articles............. (yeaaah right does anyone actually believe something like that ?)

you didnt think Mark Wahlberg was great in The Lovely Bones? I can't tell if I think he was better in that, or The Happening. He sure has come a long way as an actor.

Brokster, please tell me that was sarcasm. Marky Mark was painfully bad in The Lovely Bones

[Brockster]

lol...yes, i was laying it on thick

[silversurfer19]

Ah, but who do you prefer though, Chien. Tucci or Elias Koteas? And have they ever been in the same room together. Hmmm, the conspiracy....

[Chienfantome]

Ha ha, do I prefer Tucci or Koteas ? Probably Tucci, but Koteas was in my favourite film ever, so I'll always have a fondness for him

Stanley Tucci was one of my favorite guest stars on Monk (there were a lot of celebrity guest stars). In his episode, he played a method actor that was playing Monk in a movie and he became OCD and pretty much had his own nervous breakdown.
