I'll take a blindfold. I liked BOTH men in Interview, but Tom made a lousy blonde. Why didn't they just bleach his hair and give him extensions instead of that horrible wig? I also very much liked his character in A Few Good Men.
--- Quote ---Delalluvia, pardon my ignorance but what does squicks mean?
--- End quote ---
No problem. :)
It's a slash writing term. It's a combination of two words - squirm and icky. It's used to describe a plot situation or device that may make readers uncomfortable - make them squirm or go "ick/that's icky!".

I sense a trend here. Tom seems to do well in characters who are hurtling hell-bent for disaster. Agree?
Real life imitates art...

Tom does best with roles that are "assholes with a heart of gold". Men who need redemption. Otherwise he sucks, coming across as too bland or very uncharismatic.

See I thought he had the typical scots cocky boy to a tee. just watched king of scotland last night and loved it - however grusome! Callum always laughs as I am like run! get away from him! do this! do that! I don't care if the film is already made I like to try tell them that danger is imminent!!

Moving on past Tom. Did anyone see "My Own Private Idaho"? I've been wanting to check that one out. How was Keanu Reeves in that one? Miscast?

--- Quote from: opinionista on July 13, 2007, 03:36:36 pm ---I saw it a long time ago. I didn't think he was a miscast. River and him had good chemistry. But Keanu has never been a good actor so don't expect an oustanding performance on his part.
--- End quote ---
I agree with Natali. He's not miscast, he doesn't screw it, but don't await an Oscar worthy performance. And MOPI is well worth seeing, especially River's performance imo (but I'm partial when it comes to River Phoenix).
Natali: Somehow I don't wonder at all that you're the one who responded to that question ;).

--- End quote ---
River Phoenix (yup, again) had been casted for this role. Slater took over after River's death. And no matter how good or bad he was in it, I liked that he donated all his earnings from this movie to River's favorite charities.

Rebecca Pidgeon in anything.
