Watched Boorman's Hope and Glory and Ian Bannen is in it.
Sometimes I miss character actors more acutely than stars. They represent eras. You grow up with them.
I saw Bannen in 18 movies and numerous TV episodes.

@patrickzircher.bsky.social@patrickzircher.bsky.socialMy uncle has been married 52 years. I asked him how he kept his marriage happy all these years. He said, "We go dancing twice a week. I go on Tuesday and you're aunt goes on Wednesday."
@patrickzircher.bsky.socialBannen also reminds me of a friend of my dad's.

@malcolm-t-north.wandering.shop.ap.brid.gyReposted by @patrickzircher.bsky.socialToday for the feast day of St. Denis, I recommend Michael Downs' story "Dark Agnes: The Head of St. Denis", art by Piotr Kawalski, found in The Savage Sword of Conan, Issue 6 (2024). #SwordandSorcery
@patrickzircher.bsky.socialIt would have been a change of pace for Peckinpah. Would have been interesting.

@patrickzircher.bsky.socialI would have done whatever she liked. She's cute.
@patrickzircher.bsky.socialWhen I was a teenager, for some reason, "Would you make out with Linda Blair?" was some kind of check. This was when she was a teen too, 16 to 19. It was stupid (but we were teens).
Any (straight) teenage guy who said no, we said 'you goddam liar'.
@patrickzircher.bsky.socialRichard Burton is kind of the UK's Kirk Douglas.
Over-dramatic. Never at rest on screen. Not 'natural'.
And by 77 we had Burnstyn in Alice Doesn't Live Here, Scheider in Jaws, Hoffman in Marathon Man, Stallone in Rocky. A different, less dominating acting.

@patrickzircher.bsky.socialHe got good acting out of kids. Essential to Something Wicked This Way Comes.
@patrickzircher.bsky.socialAh, but Wise is a director with a better budget in '68 than in '43. He's done Sound of Music and West Side Story, The Sand Pebbles.
@patrickzircher.bsky.socialHenry Fonda as Charles Holloway, the older, midwestern dad, and librarian. Max Von Sydow as Mr. Dark.
@patrickzircher.bsky.socialPeckinpah directing Something Wicked This Way Comes? Maybe. The core of the story is the father and the two boys, and their good natures overcoming evil. 1968? I would have wanted Robert Wise-- who directed The Haunting and the Sound of Music.
@patrickzircher.bsky.socialGiamatti's terrific. A a real lover of genre fiction.
@patrickzircher.bsky.socialI'm serious. I don't think doing that stuff is fun. They have to be 'on'-- all weekend.
@patrickzircher.bsky.socialDeleted? Really? Garth Marenghi makes all Hellraiser posts better.
