Is there a better actor at adapting to a film's tone /adding to the world than Willem Dafoe? You can put that guy in any genre and he's going to make me believe that world a bit more.

Gonzo's delivery of the single greatest line in film history is made infinitely better once you realise it is an EXACT rendering of Charles Dickens' own emphasis in the original story.

Giacomo Puccini (born OTD 1858) and Arturo Toscanini had a stormy friendship. One Christmas, Puccini sent Toscanini a panettone, forgetting they had fallen out. Remembering, he sent a telegram “PANETTONE SENT BY MISTAKE. PUCCINI”. He received a telegram back “PANETTONE EATEN BY MISTAKE. TOSCANINI” 😂

The older I get, the more I wonder at those who capture the blunt, angry numbness of grief. Not just the sorrow; the emptiness, the rage. The tiring, tedious business of running on the spot.
I wish Brian comfort, and only hope he knows how many people his words will reach, and help.
