The Dead Thread

[Walken]

He's so easily led by Ed Harris' character in that film, some of his dialogue is just repetition of what Harris says, but he beautifully portrays a downtrodden salesman who just isn't going to catch a break no matter what.

So many great performances in that though. Jack Lemmon probably steals it to be fair.

Everyone kills it in that movie.

They do, from Pacino's flash Ricky Roma, Baldwin's no nonsense company representative and Spacey's snide little office manager. What an ensemble.

RIP to a great actor who always gave a bit of gravitas to any role.

Alan Arkin passes away at 89, brilliant talent who brought humanity to every role

Yossarian in Catch 22 one of his stand out roles.

Absolutely brilliant movie. One of the finest examples of a film set in pretty much one place

Rewatched Glengarry Glen Ross only last week and was thinking that Arkin always brings something to the table, even little roles like in the Rocketeer. Some actors have just got it.

The speech he gives his son when his business doesn't work in little miss sunshine is a great moment

Arkin is fantastic in Glengarry. Not that there's a poor performance, of course. It's a screenplay where Pacino, Lemmon, Harris and Spacey can't help but shine. And that's to say nothing of an entire part being written in for Baldwin.

Can imagine it reads brilliantly as a screenplay, bet the lads could not believe their luck

It works that way mainly because it was adapted from a play; which is sort of obvious when you watch it.

Poor Old Current Affairs is Dead

We killed it. It seems we don't deserve good(?) things.

Though luckily we still have Fit Birds.

Great decision to get rid, was a breeding ground for mings.

It was ok for a long time.
Differing opinions and beliefs but kept at a banter level.
Unfortunately lately one or two mainly newcomers started getting intense and nasty
