Movie stuff you only just realised... - Page 2

I just recently realized that David Wenham is the pseudo-drag queen songwriter with the black pageboy haircut at the beginning of "Moulin Rouge". No wonder Denethor was upset!

Debi Mazar was in Collateral?

Petersen was offered a role in Platoon but he turned it down. Scorsese wanted him for GoodFellas, but Petersen wasn't interested.

Gary Sinise (who now stars in a crap CSI spin-off) was up for Petersen's role in To Live and Die in L.A.

Didn't realise that, right after reading that I thought back to that part where he goes "Goodbye!" and duhhh...that's Wenhams voice...silly me.

The Porkins one I just realised a while back also..........

the dumbest one for me was two weeks ago when my dad was watching CSI and it had that theme music which I realised they used for Charlies Angels 2 when they have that crime scene............scene.........so they even used the music unbeknowest to me.............which just goes to show I don't watch C.S.I at all.

also......Life Aquatics end titles is an homage to Buckaroo Banzais end titles........

That really is Fairuza Balk in Return To Oz. Okay movie, a bit on the acid side but..still okay.

That's friggin' sad.

EDIT:

Hugo Weaving (Agent Smith in The Matrix Trilogy and Elrond in LOTR), Terence Stamp (General Zod in Superman 2) and Guy Pierce (The Time Machine, The Count of Monte Cristo) in drag singing ABBA= Priscilla Queen of the Desert.....

Some might even know him from Memento and L.A. Confidential.

EDIT: Speaking of Memento, Alec Baldwin was Christopher Nolan's first choice to play the lead.

JK Simmons is the voice of the yellow M&M.

Yeah, Foxx's first passenger.

Debi Mazar and Drew Barrymore were both in BATMAN FOREVER.

Used to be. I'm pretty sure Billy West has been doing both voices in the more recent commercials. But yes, I was shocked to learn that too.

I just noticed Temple of Doom shortened forms TOD, which is the german word for death. Uh.


Denise Richards is in Fat Albert.


Sean Penn was in an episode of Viva la Bam. Just seen it. Had to look twice to believe it.


Michael Winslow, Ken Foree, Andy Dick, Wil Wheaton and AXL ROSE can be heard in GTA San Andreas. I know from Sam Jackson and the others, but those were new to me.

Rutger Hauer's character in the movie Wanted: Dead or Alive was offspring (or grand-offspring, not sure it's ever clarified) of Steve McQueen's character in the old TV series with same name.

George Lowe (Space Ghost) did the voice over for that old McDonalds Mighty Wings commercial.

Eight peole have done the entertainment grand slam

Oscar, Grammy, Tony, Emmy

Mel Brooks
John Gielgud
Mike Nichols
Richard Rodgers
Audrey Hepburn
Marvin Hamlisch
Helen Hayes
Rita Moreno

YEAH he's the guy they pay before getting arrested.......

speaking of "The 'Berg" from IMDB.com's trivia section of JP

He is one of the guys sat around in the meeting chamber when they anounce the plan to attack the death star.

who is george a romero in silence of the lambs? and also i dont remember dario argento in innocent blood, sam raimi cameo's in it as the guy in the meat truck though.

Yes, it's him. They talk about it in his biography "Skywalking"..

Mr Bronson was in a Star Wars movie and 2 Indiana Joneses.

Dario Argento plays an ambulance worker.Other famed horror people who cameo in Innocent Blood are: screamqueen Linnea Quigley, who plays a nurse.And Tom Savini plays a news photographer.

Robbie Coltrane tried to jump Beverly D'Angelo in "European Vacation."

Oscar winner F. Murray Abraham was the voice of the leaf in the Fruit Of The Loom commercials.

He was the guy in the suit, too.

Wow reading some of these posts, kinda surprising. Okay here goes

They guy who plays the captain in the Fast and the Furious was also the serial killer in Silence of the Lambs.

Muscles don't make you hide that you're a geek at heart (see Vin Diesel).

and in the next few minutes after this post I will be done with it, so there will be no saving it:
the soundtrack to Return of the Jedi is really dissapponting.

While watching Win a Date with Tad Hamil-whatever, thats Kate Bosworth's eyes are two different colors; left one is blue, the other brown.

Which for some reason I find very sexy.

Terry Gilliam directed those "Little Less Conversation" Nike football (i.e. soccer) commercials from a few years back.

That cute red-headed girl i had a crush on from the Fred Savage Nintendo jerk-off fest "The Wizard" is Jenny Lewis, lead singer of popular california group Rilo Kiley. Oh and Christian Slater was in that movie too.

That is her natural eye color, and not contacts, by the way.

Rilo Kiley's Jenny Lewis + Nintendo = Best Damn Combination Since Orange Chicken and Noodles

Believe it or not, Ted Levine is an accomplished actor who has starred in many more movies than Silence of the Lambs.

Today, I watched Shaun of the Dead. I just found out what the fuss was all about.

My first on-screen crush (I was 11) was the girl in Honey I Blew up the Kid.

Turns out it was Keri Russell.

Also: Busy Phillips and Bijou Phillips don't look anything like each other.

Sam Jackson used to be Bill Cosby's stand-in on The Cosby Show.

Probably because they're not related.

Bijou Phillips and Chynna Phillips, on the other hand... still don't look all that much alike.

George A. Romero
Roger Corman and
Chris Issak were all in The Silence of the Lambs.


Romero and Issak were in the Memphis sequence.

MacGyver fires a gun in the pilot. No wonder the director of said pilot was Alan Smithee.

I also didn't know "Throw me the whip" guy in Indy was Alfred Molina until the "Pointless Throwaway Action Character" thread.

Niles the Butler on The Nanny was the captain of the aircraft carrier in Hunt for Red October.

Joe Pantoliano was Guido the Killer Pimp - and - Snake.

Circa when? ...there have been numerous shows with the 'Cosby' name in them.

...and is it OUR Sam Jackson? The name ain't exactly rare.

"'Huxtable', motherfucker....DO YOU SPEAK IT??"

There's only one show with the exact title 'The Cosby Show', and there's only one bad motherfucker i'm talking about.

I watched this again today. I had no idea Martin Freeman was in it for like five seconds.

Also, the following people made cameo or unbilled appearances in the TV miniseries of Stephen King's "The Stand":

John "Joe Bob Briggs" Bloom (also in Casino)
Kathy Bates
Ed Harris
Sam Raimi
John Landis

sidenote = the kid who played pinsky on salute your shorts and Joey the Rat on Boy Meets world is the guitarist for Rilo Kiley

Wasn't Danny "Bobby Budnick/Edward Furlong's Friend in T2" Cooksey also in a hair-metal band or something?

The band was called Tuff Enuff. They were on 120 Minutes once.

Bet your ass it was.

Miller's Crossing

Sam Raimi was the "laughing detective" in Miller's Crossing, the guy who shoots the white flag waving bartender in front of the "Sons of Erin" bar. Raimi dual wields revolvers and gets littered with Tommy Gun spray, it's a pretty funny scene.

wow.
i just realised that david hayter has a really annoying voice.

the cantona ones? i had no idea.

on wonder they're so brilliant.
