In Reply to: I am not a huge fan of Crowe's, Vic, so I surprised myself posted by tinear on December 6, 2005 at 11:45:06:
Yes so did I.
There was this human touch you are mostly missing in the old Hollywood.
And if Kong is failing, then there will have to be a new one.
Follow Ups:
that the most memorable scenes are the ones in which he is the quietist. He doesn't chew up the scenery, which is remarkable in this day and age given his role. Imagine what a Pacino or DeNiro would have done (at least in this stage of their careers!).
You seem to assume that an actor acts independently of the screenplay and the director. DeNiro in Signals was not DeNiro in Goodfellas or Casino. And Crowe in M&C was not the same as Crowe in A Beautiful Mind.
You haven't read much about how direction works, have you?
If you think actors that are stars, such as those I mentioned, kowtow to screenwriters (hardee har har) or directors you're too far beyond the pale to educate.

"Where are we going? And what am I doing in this hand basket?"
Really? Not read much about how direction works? You mean the actors improvise? Make up their own lines? Perhaps you could cite some books or written material on the matter? What is your authority? Tell me what you have read? Or are, what would we say, making shit up? Again?
Well, it seems to me that 'dictate' is keyword here. Much would depend upon actor's status-personality interactions with director's
status-personality. I've read of some actors being difficult to
work with, especially with dictatorial directors, 'storming off
sets' and so on. I presume some directors permit more leeway in
actors interpretative freedom than others. Personally, if I were
an actor, I would prefer direction more as guidance than dictatorship,
as 'artistic straitjackets'would not appeal to me. ~AH
