More on topic (kinda):

That sound downstairs you hear during the night in all likelihood isn't a serial killer. Which is why you check, assuming you can be arsed. So next time some would-be film critic declares a movie character "stupid" for doing exactly that, break into said critic's house at, say, 0300 hours and gut them if they slope on down.

Back in the day (early '90s), an old five pence superglued to a penny could trick a train station ticket machine you'd entered a quid.

Bowie was solid in Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence.

He was perfectly fine. As he was in everything I've seen him but Bowie the actor wasn't ever good enough to make me forget I was watching someone other than David Bowie.

They didn't even know he was sick when he refused the offer. It was only when he died they found out the reason for his refusal. Same with Twin Peaks.

So basically they wanted to cast him because he was Bowie.

Bautista's Sapper was brilliant...that shot with him fumbling his glasses, wow.

It's the one thing that keeps playing in my head when I think of that character. So 'human'.

Before I get sidetracked, HELL, yes.

I've never been impressed by Bowie's film performances, but I would've been intrigued to see an older – albeit dying – Bowie in the world of BR. The idea seems to fit; even if he was just playing himself. Certainly be more interested in that than watching Leto's attempts to chew the sets.

I think the only time I was impressed by Bowie the actor was in DREAM ON ("I . . . don't. Care!").

I agree Bowie's being terminally ill would have been plaintive and therefore effective but is that why he was even considered for the role?

they intended the role for Bowie so you can see what they were thinking of.

"Let's cast a moderately adequate actor simply because he's David Bowie and hope his otherwordliness does the trick like it didn't do in LABYRINTH and THE PRESTIGE."

Hmm. On closer inspection, I see the Doctor's left ear is pierced. Let the fan fiction commence!

For you;

Little-known fact: In High Gallifreyan, 'Graham', 'Yasmin', and 'Ryan' translate as 'Humpty', 'Jemima', and 'Big Ted'.

Whilst it's not actually on White Hart Lane it's the name that was adopted by the brewery that owned the plot of land that used to be a nursery . . .

Soon as you said 'brewery', I recalled doing an online search a while back and it taking a surprisingly long time to find out. I'll be sure make mention to the next Spurs fan I meet who doesn't know. Cheers!
