Gene Wilder only agreed to play Willy Wonka if he could make his first entrance with a limp that suddenly turned into a somersault. His reasoning was brilliant: the audience would never know when Wonka was telling the truth. Perfect casting.
Christopher Lloyd seeing his old Judge Doom outfit after decades is giving me goosebumps!
“What does it feel like seeing this costume so many years later?”
“Well I kinda wish I was still wearing it.”
GET THIS MAN BACK IN THE OUTFIT NOW.
On this day in 2018 the great singer of The Cranberries Dolores O'Riordan passed away.
In her honor, here is one of her greatest performances. "Zombie" in 1999.
Leonard Nimoy performing “The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins" from his 1968 album 'Two Sides of Leonard Nimoy' on the short lived variety show Malibu U, 1967.
Sarah Michelle Gellar as Buffy in BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER (1997–2003) is one of those castings that completely redefined a character. The role could have been a one-note teen heroine. Gellar turned her into one of television’s most enduring protagonists.
Rutger Hauer didn’t just deliver the “Tears in Rain” monologue...he largely forged its final form.
He took an overwritten, overly technical script and rewrote it the night before filming.
“All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.”
Any fans?
Linda Blair on the condition she put forth before agreeing to star in "Repossessed" (1990)- a spoof of "The Exorcist" (1973):
"[I agreed to do it] Because it’s a comedy. It’s a spoof of all occult pictures. Now maybe I can get the monkey off my back. Bob Logan talked me into doing a spoof of ‘The Exorcist’ because he knew I wanted to lay that image to rest.
I didn’t want to do it until Carolco Pictures called and asked me what it would take for me to do the film. Bob promised we could do it like ‘The Naked Gun’ (1988) and ‘Airplane!’ (1980). But I would agree only if they got Leslie Nielsen for the priest.
They contacted Leslie, who thought the script was hilarious. He agreed to play the role.
There’s a subtlety in the name of my character in ‘Repossessed.’ In ‘The Exorcist,’ I played Regan, right? This time, my name is Nancy. Ha!"

The finale of RETURN OF THE JEDI (1983) feels like the reward for everything that came before it. The Empire is gone, friends who fought are finally together & John Williams’ “Victory Celebration” turns the entire ending into one long emotional exhale.
