Damn. I've got to stop my knee-jerk "Ahh, Voldemort!" reaction every time I see Ralph Fiennes. I mean, I've seen movies with him before. He was Dolarhyde in bloody Red Dragon for crying out load! As it stands right now, that is the only movie I can watch him in without thinking of You-Know-Who. Anyway...
I've discovered a bit of a guilty pleasure in Gary Oldman. I don't understand it. I don't even really like him. I'd actually go so far as to say I've got a somewhat unhealthy dislike for him. But there's something interesting about watching him. Now if he'd just stop taking on characters who try to kill my favorite characters, I might find it in myself to grant him more than an impulsive Google search every now and then.

My favorite with Oldman..Immortal Beloved in which he plays Beethoven and not a saintly one either.
Back to lurking.
