let’s not neglect Lisa Marie as Vampira

The shocking thing about Lisa Marie is that, compared to Vampira, she’s thick-waisted. Wait, I guess that’s more shocking about Vampira.

Gary Oldman as Winston Churchill in Darkest Hour (2017). The transformation dizzies the senses. The bluster, the oratory, the presence. Entirely there. Watching this, one forgets it’s an illusion.

For small parts, I have to mention Vincent D’Onofrio as Orson Welles in the aforementioned Ed Wood.

Another good performance as OW was given by Christian McKay in the movie Me And Orson Welles

@AndrewCrossett

He was so accurate I thought they’d put Depp into some actual footage of Welles. I was even more impressed when I thought it was D’Onofrio doing the spot-on voice, but it was Maurice LaMarche.

Are you pondering what I’m pondering, Pinky?

yes always
