  • Hugh Grant

    From poindexter FORTRAN@VERT/REALITY to All on Saturday, September 28, 2024 08:19:00
    I watched The Gentlemen (the Guy Ritchie movie, not the series) and an impossibly named movie named "Operation Fortune: Ruse De Guerre" this
    week. Both entertaining action films, although I was much more impressed
    with the cinematography in The Gentlemen.

    What did impress me was High Grant. He's gone from foppish leading man
    to our generation's Michael Caine. The mannerisms, his character's
    style of speaking, and the large glasses all felt like he was channeling Michael. A few more years of brandy and cigars and he'll have the voice perfected. :)

    Going from struggling leading man to successful character actor must be
    a relief.

    I'm glad he doesn't play the English bumbling idiot anymore. For that reason I've never watched any of his movies. Maybe I'll watch the movie

    i thought that was his thing.
    i'm not a huge fan of him or his type of movies, though.
    all i know about him is he does the bumbling idiot thing and he was with elizabeth hurley for a while. and That trans prostitute thing.
