John Hurt's character has ruined a nice weekend get-together for John Tanner's family and friends. He lied to John about them that they were into some conspiracy, invading their privacy,had him doing the same and even worse, killed John's friends in a RV explosion except one because he left out of the house already and ran off somewhere, he was lucky. John fixed him by shooting and killing him for causing all the trouble in the first place.
shareWell, what's your point? John Hurt plays warped characters like that all the time. He played an astronaut who was bearing a monster in his chest in Alien, was a hideously deformed but gentle Englishman in The Elephant Man, parodyed his Alien role in Spaceballs, and was the stepfather of a demon in Hellboy.

My point is that although that was just a movie, what if you were John Tanner and some crazy man came and lied to you about your best friends plotting something against you, bugged your house with cameras invading your privacy and your friends as well, kidnapping your dog and putting a fake dog's head in your refrigerator, then kidnap your wife and kid and killed your friends minus one because he had already left before them but really, how would you feel?
shareSo I guess you haven't seen John Hurt as Caligula in 'I, Claudius'. Because if you did, you would have listed that role as the first in this interesting line-up.
I felt sorry for Fassett because he lost his wife to a bigger jerk, his boss Max Danforth (the late Burt Lancaster), who comes off as an apprentice of Joseph McCarthy and a prelude of John Ashcroft. Danforth uses Fassett to get to Tanner and his buds. At the while, Fassett uses Tanner to get to Danforth, but Tanner didn't like being used by either men.
shareI liked him in the movie, "All the Little Animals" with Christian Bale. He had murdered his evil wife and absconded with the bank money, then made atonement by cleaning up road kill. Another weird character for his collection. If you havn't seen that movie, it was a great one in my opinion.
I also loved Rutger Houwer, I never got over falling madly in love with him in Lady Hawk with Michelle Phiffer. I could watch him all day. This movie is worth watching to look at him in it.
As far as Meg's eyes, yes they are truly unique and beautiful. No one has eyes like that! Wow! Except maybe someone's fake contacts, although her's are real.
But he did it so well.
