I mean that was more-or-less Werner Herzog’s natural delivery, they just had him go in and read a buncha lines; somebody decided that Basically Werner Herzog was the right fit for that character and then they went out and got him to do it.
(I imagine this is how Stephen Tobolowsky gets many of his acting jobs too)
I wouldn’t discount Harris’ innate advantages there too; he was 10 years older than Gambon, aged more poorly (having been an alcoholic hellraiser in his younger years), and his natural delivery - even when he was much younger - had that sort-of wizened wheezing sound to it; “old and physically frail but with incredible magic power” was sort of baked in even before he added any actual acting to the mix.
But I don’t know if there’s an alternative who would have been better in that regard; the three I’m aware of them talking about were Christopher Lee, Ian McKellen, and Peter O’Toole, but the latter two would have played him very much like Gambon did, and I’m not sure if Lee could have pulled off “frail” either given his voice + physical stature.
One of the few non-Avengers in the list of all-time highest grossing actors.
One of Chief O’Brien’s more elaborate holodeck simulations
With him, Richard Harris, Robbie Coltrane, and Alan Rickman all gone, the only members of the Hogwarts Professor Tontine left are Maggie Smith and Warwick Davis.
The good news is that Iceland won’t have to go around apologizing for its name anymore.
Mostly in the northwest but yeah - 95 sightings this year, you can even track them on a map on the DEEP website.
They mentioning Maine up in here
A Møøse once bit my sister…
Can I get a ‘fuck spez’
This seems kind of… cruel, honestly. I mean the kid is 4; I could imagine a 9 or 10 year old being mature enough to view this as an honor / thrill of a lifetime, but 4 is reallllly pushing it.

Just you wait, just you wait…
One thing that would go a long way in helping with that would be if we improved the quality of urban schools / parks to the point where fewer people felt like they had to move to the suburbs to start families.
Aren’t those supposed to be surprisingly tasty + a potential new industry if we can get restaurants to start serving them?
That moment in Hades when after innumerable long-ass treks through the underworld you think you’ve finally beaten Hades and then it turns out now you have to beat super-Hades…
It’s about ads. The great thing about putting videos on YouTube is that Google does the work of selling ad slots for you, the not-so-great thing is that because those advertisers are actually Google’s customers, if they think they might be upset to see their ad running in your video, they’ll err on the side of pulling it.
But I daresay if Russell Brand had advertisers working with him directly, most of them would also be suspending their relationships with him right now; nobody wants anything to do with this sort of allegation.
“Hammerskins” sounds like a bunch of guys who hang around smashing each other’s genitals with hammers
It’s like in Good Will Hunting when Matt Damon tells Robin Williams he thinks he’s one step from cutting his ear off and Williams responds by asking if he should move to the south of France and change his name to Vincent, because obviously most moviegoers are too dumb to get the original joke.
Wasn’t that the hospital?
Uh, you ever see the movie Misery?
Actually, no.
Then this’ll all be new to you.
The tourist-y parts of it are pretty much all newly rebuilt anyway; there’s not much of the original wall left at Mutianyu or Simatai or wherever.
