I will watch Macfadyen in anything. The man is brilliant.
Me too! I might even hit the theater for this film!
I loved him in the 2017 “Howard’s End” series as Henry Wilcox. I prefer his portrayal to Anthony Hopkins’ portrayal in the earlier film.
Plus, I just realized this year that he was Mr. Darcy in “Pride & Prejudice” with Keira Knightley (when all the 25th anniversary stuff came out).
He has gone so far beyond leading man stuff-a compliment!-that he is almost unrecognizable from role to role.
Same.
100%. I will watch whatever he is in. I started The Last Kingdom because he was in it. Spoiler alert, he’s in it for about ten seconds. But I found Alexander Dreymon because of him, so we’re all good.
I could not agree more! I love watching him. He’s magnetic on screen.
oh wow the news above regarding (new) Matlock. and his wife’s posts in the article yikes
Yes, just read the article on TVLine. Yikes, indeed.
Yea his wife is not helping things, especially if he tries to sue (and you know he will). Maybe if her husband wasn’t such a creep he’d have a job. It’s a shame bc I liked their character dynamic, but to hell with him and men like him.
Ah, Matthew McFadden. Who can forget Matthew McFadden as Mr. Darcy in Pride and Prejudice walking across the fields in the early morning to see if Kiera Knightly might possibly love him. And in “The Way We Live Now”, when I first became aware of him, he played a cad and fool to perfection. Yeah, he quietly and thoroughly gets his job done. And yes, the movie looks good.
This looks really interesting. Is MAGA going to throw temper tantrums about a movie about the assassination of a president? Hope so. 😏
Matthew MacFadyen is an exceptional actor and I’m really looking forward to this new project.
Usually if they want you to come back every six months means they’re keeping their eye on something to see if hasn’t spread or gotten worse🤔and he disappears a couple of days every month.
What would you guess, based on that? I think you’re on to something. Goes with kankles, the IV hands etc.
Can’t speak to the movie but I read a great bio on Garfield. He seems like an honorable man. But it was ultimately the doctors who killed him – germ theory had been developed and the English doctor who came up with it was here in the US talking about it, but Garfield’s doctors didn’t know/didn’t believe it (including Lincoln’s doctor). So they kept sticking their fingers in the bullet wound. He slowly died, probably of the resulting infection, and the treatments the doctors kept prescribing were basically torture. And now we have a new pres who basically wants to take us back to those ignorant ways.
Did y’all see where Diane Keaton passed away? 😭
what, diane keaton died? WHAT??
I very much enjoyed the Lainey Gossip review of I Like Me; wonderful writing. I became a fan of John Candy during his SCTV days, he was truly brilliant as were all the cast. By the time he made it to Hollywood, I had pretty well stopped following him, just saw his sweet face from time to time. I remember being ecstatic when I saw the trailer for the movie JFK and saw he had a bit part amongst a star-studded cast. I thought, yes, he can absolutely move into dramatic roles. I didn’t realise his struggles or that his weight was made fun of, it breaks my heart. I’m looking forward to seeing the documentary some time. Mike Myers older brother Paul has a book coming out about John (little promo for a bit of a family friend there!)
