At the time, maybe in its 1988 year of release or maybe a year later, iconic black pioneer Sidney Poitier called out these same qualities and praised Die Hard as where casting could go in the future.
Getting some...
It was interesting that Roma skipped Blake's speech. Probably excused as a top earner...never would have stood for Blake's insults...would have flamed him back. Probably would not have fought Blake, though...
Bottom line...1994 had some alltime classics. Great year. Great Oscar year. Forrest Gump. Shawshank. Pulp Fiction. I would add Ed Wood, Nobodys Fool with Paul Newman and Bruce Willis, and Arnolds final big hit, True Lies by James Cameron.
...which means the Los Angeles film critics will sure to vote for something else..
I think I read that casting was pondered by Orson Welles for real in the 40s but comics werent considered A list for movies.
I think young Sean Connery and young James Cagney shared a sadistic curl of the lip and some of the same profile..despite the height difference...the Cagney photo at Moviechat shows it a bit, I think.
You are welcome!
1970-1971
In 1977, Diane Keaton not only starred in Annie Hall, she starred in Looking for Mr. Goodbar, based on the true story of a teacher by day who by night cruised bars picking men up for sex. Keaton did sex scenes and nudity in that rough drama.
It was rumored that Keaton won both for Annie Hall and Looking for Mr. Goodbar.
Also in 1977, Richard Dreyfuss appeared in both The Goodbye Girl and Close Encounters. He won for Goodbye Girl, but maybe both.
Kate McKinnon
For its time, it was shocking, since rarely did the star of a film die.

Disaster movie wise, the star died in one just 2 years before Earthquake...
Exactly! My guess is that the late Glenn Frey didnt even want a fictional character bad mouthing the Eagles, especially one played by the cool Jeff Bridges..
Because he looked like that real handsome movie star Jeff Bridges.
Per imdb trivia, Glenn Frey met Jeff Bridges at a party and yelled at him about the anti-Eagles scene. Which wasnt anti, really ...the cabbie liked the Eagles and threw the Dude out of the cab. T-Bone Burnett was a music consultant on the movie and evidently his dislike of the Eagles fed this line. Me, I recall Glenn Frey on 60 Minutes being asked why the Eagles were so great and he reeled off the titles of all their hits in order. ALL of them.Seemed a little oversold on himself...hence his anger at the Dude?
He also sold the immortal Jimmy Dean Sausages on TV around this time.
Dudes aside, does not Ms. Larsen know of the female film critics going back to the 60s , including Pauline Kael, Judith Crist, Molly Haskell, Renata Adler, Janet Maslin, Penelope Gilliatt...and the diverse rosters at the Roger Ebert website and on Rotten Tomatoes..plus that Stephanie Za--something at Time...
It sounds like The Twilight Zone episode to me...especially the "no dialogue" element.
In the first Mission Impossible, Cruise had no wife, kids or living parents. So a US govt guy threatened to ruin ...not kill...Ethan's unseen aunt and uncle. Everybody has SOME relative...
Thank you
