See the movie? It was pretty good. And Chalamet acted his ass off. Who do you want? Ray Stevenson?

Cilian murphy or even robert patterson would look more along peoples expectation of a 30 year old king at the battle of agincourt.  Chalamet looks like he hasnt hit puberty.

    I'm necro-bumping this thread, as this is the first time I've skimmed through it. But I read about this the other day (also a very old article) pertinent to your post. Here's the letter Anthony Hopkin

  • We all know they'd cast Melissa McCarthy

Robert Pattinson was great as The Dauphin.

Dauphin was teenaged. And in the movie, too clumsy to fight. Chalamet wouldve made a great Dauphin.

45-year old Cillian Murphy?

The production featured baby-men as Hotspur (inaccurate) and Prince Thomas. It was not historically accurate to say the least but casting was phenomenal and purposeful.

You want historical accuracy in an era where record-keeping itself was suspect? watch Lucy Worsley’s PBS specials or read a book.

Uhhh, im just saying a whispy looking boy is a visually poor fit for portraying a warmongering king, in the way liam neeson looks ridiculous playing action heros 1 movie after another. 
 

you can keep the lucy worsley specials.

He's actually pretty funny, but damn, I hate this idea.

Pretty cool.  Got his man on a lot of it.
 

some interesting stuff: Robin Wright as Mia would be cool.  Typically angelic lady playing druggie mob wife.
 

Matt Dillon probably would have been great as Butch. 
 

Larry Fishburn as Jules would have been a totally different movie.  

Matt Dillon as Butch makes me really, really want him in another Tarantino flick 😄 one of the more underused actors in Hollywood imo.

funny he wanted Patricia but got Rosanna.

and for some reason i absolutely 100% can picture Bob Carradine as Lance lol.

My Cousin Vinny’s casting was inspired.

Marisa Tomei was obviously awesome. She likes short, bald, stocky guys. So she’s a Surly HOFer. And her tailor deserves an honorary Oscar as well.

But Fred Gwynne as Judge Haller was amazing and made the movie. It was his last movie.

Almost Famous is one of my favorite movies which makes me predisposed to like Billy Crudup. But I realized I don’t really like him in any other role he’s played. This one did him no favors because his makeup was really bad too.    

 

Yeah, Crudup's performance as Russell Hammond in AF is unquestionably the best work he's ever done and almost certainly due to the strength of Cameron Crowe's writing. AF certainly would have been a bigger hit at the time had Brad Pitt taken the role, but I don't think he would have made a better Russell (other than the "I am a golden god" line make more sense in the acid trip scene).

Crudup is a great douchebag in the first season of The Morning Show.

He was great in it. Think it was his first role as a villain. Very smarmy.

He nailed Watchmen. And was actually good as the kinky sex neighbor in The Watch.

We flipped past Star Wars: The Force Awakens this morning.

I'm sure already mentioned.

Hits:

Sean Connery as James Bond

Peter Falk as Columbo

Rod Steiger as the Police Chief - In the Heat of the Night. Actually that movie was great overall casting. 

Ralph Fiennes as Amon Göth in Schindler's List

I think he was joking.  The casting was the best part of the trilogy.

I just didn't think Ridley, Boyega and Isaac were at all the problem with the sequels. In fact I thought they helped make TFA a decent flick. There wasn't any saving 8 and 9. 

Lonesome Dove - everyone perfect

Just watched for the first time a movie probably nobody has seen or maybe only seen once: Popeye (1980).

Shelley Duvall - Perfect spot on casting for Olive Oyl. It's creepy how perfect it is.

Robin Williams - Popeye. I truly can't decide if it was also perfect casting or if it was horrible.

I wonder if it was just truly impossible to cast Popeye. But then I saw The Rock is going to play Popeye in a reboot next year.

Popeye is the only movie I ever walked out on. Just shitty all the way around to me.

I mean, it was very weird. I thought it was interesting and risky to try and make it a musical and to try and stay somewhat true to the comic book character. But my wife thought it was horrible and questioned why we didn't cut it off halfway through.

This was Robin Williams breaking his pigeonholing before 1 hour photo, which is widely seen as his first departure from comedy wholesomeness, and I am wondering if he was a relative unknown in 1980 as it was only his second movie appearance after his debut in 1977.

Popeye was in 1980.  One Hour Photo was in 2002.

In between was World According to Garp, Good Morning Vietnam, Dead Poets Society, Awakenings, Good Will Hunting, What Dreams May Come.... and about 10 more departures from comedy wholesomeness.

Jackie Gleason- Sheriff Buford T Justice

 

In a drunken blasphemous discussion this evening, we pondered: If they ever did a redux, who would play him?

Farley or Belushi?  Too bad they're dead.  Fucking nobody could do it again.

But seriously, I think Nathan Lane could possibly pull of the Buford T. Justice character.

Too tall

Hes lost his fastball and should not play Southerners anymore.

Speaking of Hanks, watched Charlie Wilson’s War last night and I miss PSH.

That had some A-list casting:

Hanks, PSH

v

Roberts, Amy Adams, young Blunt.

Plus the white dude from Power.
