Yeah, well -- Michael Shannon is kind of a loon in his own right.

Love the tunneling on Affleck's jacket.

 

[Chandler]

No epaulets?

Probably private manufacture.

Need to watch that movie to get its feel.

Something about A-2’s in modern movies that just don’t look right to me. Too big? Too new?

Too "in color?"

But yeah -- all those jackets look one or two sizes too big.

Shouldn't Baldwin have shaved his head? Like Spencer Tracy wouldn't for 30 Seconds Over Tokyo?

 

[Pa12]

Yeah. Wouldn’t have been my pick to play Doolittle

 

[B-Man2]

Yeah. Wouldn’t have been my pick to play Doolittle

Agreed … Baldwin couldn’t hold Doolittle’s jock strap !
( no politics here, just my opinion guys)

 

[Pa12]

Yes. Always thought he was a bit of a pompous prick

Yes. Always thought he was a bit of a pompous prick

That's why Baldwin was perfect in 30 Rock as the bloviating Jack Donaghy!

 

[Chandler]

Yeah. Wouldn’t have been my pick to play Doolittle

Politics or otherwise, I don't think he even studied Doolittle -- or maybe he just can't push away from every other serious role he's played.

I'll pose this question -- I wonder who could have been better -- okay, anyone -- but really pulled it off.

Anyone remember Aaron Eckhart as Doolittle in Midway 2019? I can't -- and I always enjoy his performances.

I was surprised by Woody Harrelson as Nimitz, but I still don't think he completely pulled it off.

Pondered that question myself and can’t think of anyone. I think a role like that would be better served by an “unknown “actor.

I think that holds true for many roles, well known actors often carry too much professional or personal baggage, while others have about as much ability as a wooden spoon.

I always think of Russell Crowe in gladiator. While he wasn’t unknown, he wasn’t very well known. He nailed that part.
I saw Russell Crowe in a movie, I think from the 80’s, filmed in Manitoba. Played an Aussie in the commonwealth training program doing his flight training. Unfortunately it was a chick flick.

 

[Pa12]

Or perhaps Saskatchewan. Can’t remember. Can’t remember the name of the movie either, but there were a few tigers and ansons in it.

Last Crowe movie I saw was a B Flick, road rage thing -- he didn't have to do much, but look surly and growl. Not his best moment, far from "A Perfect Mind."

"Unhinged," FWIW.

 

[Pa12]

Yeah, kind of gone down hill in his “fat” years.

I like Stephen Boyd's jacket in Seven Thunders, I've never figured what it is, it's a button up with a fur

or mouton collar

 

[JonnyCrow]

Jimmy Stewart, any ideas on the flight patch?
