Okay: Orson Welles, Paul Masson spokesman.

Max Von Sydow is obviously Emperor Ming.

Caine IS 'most famous' for Dark Knight now.

This miiiight be true in 20 years (and only if they stop showing The Italian Job in favour of its remake), but is unlikely now.

DeNiro is most famous as Harry Tuttle, obviously.

Trying to think of a godawful pop star but I never know their names. I was searching lyrics to identify some shitty lyrics by an American singer from 7 or 8 years ago. I thought it was maybe Taylor Swift but I guess I might have been blaming her for years for someone else's song. Maybe I've never heard Taylor Swift.

Orson Welles might actually be "Muppet Movie star Orson Welles".

De Niro is "Star of Kenneth Branagh's Mary Shelley's Frankenstein."

Michael Caine is "From the Cars movie franchise".

Or another for Caine, "who played opposite David Bowie in Christopher Nolan's 'The Prestige'"

― Thomas Gabriel Fischer does not endorse (aldo), Friday, 4 August 2017 12:39 (eight years ago)

Played Robin Williams in The Cider House Rules.

― Andrew Farrell, Friday, 4 August 2017 12:41 (eight years ago)

On Max von Sydnow, IMDB says the four things he is best known for are Shutter Island, Minority Report, The Exorcist and Star Wars: The Force Awakens (which will surely be the one quoted in obits).

― Thomas Gabriel Fischer does not endorse (aldo), Friday, 4 August 2017 12:41 (eight years ago)

Oh wait, he's been in Game of Thrones, so that.

― Thomas Gabriel Fischer does not endorse (aldo), Friday, 4 August 2017 12:42 (eight years ago)

Yeah, GoT picking up the slack here in a serious manner.

― Andrew Farrell, Friday, 4 August 2017 12:42 (eight years ago)

Nobody seriously thinks Welles won't be citizen Kane and van shadow won't be exorcist.

So yeah snobs imo

Goldy McJohn posted angry comments under a Steppenwolf story (by Scott Seward!) that I published on my site earlier this year.

― grawlix (unperson), Friday, 4 August 2017 13:21 (eight years ago)

almost no Americans under 45 have seen Caine's career-making British films

― ice cream social justice (Dr Morbius), Friday, 4 August 2017 13:26 (eight years ago)

I'VE never seen The Italian Job

― ice cream social justice (Dr Morbius), Friday, 4 August 2017 13:27 (eight years ago)

Huh, I didn't realize Jaws IV was a British film.

― I'm Calling My Loyer! (Old Lunch), Friday, 4 August 2017 13:31 (eight years ago)

yeah that made his career in its third decade

― ice cream social justice (Dr Morbius), Friday, 4 August 2017 13:32 (eight years ago)

I can remember Jaws 3, because of watching it in 3d. But Jaws 4 completely escapes my memory.

― calzino, Friday, 4 August 2017 13:37 (eight years ago)

Was that the Smell-o-vision one?

― weird echo of the falsies (Tom D.), Friday, 4 August 2017 13:43 (eight years ago)

just 3d as I recall. But very bad 3d, like when a harpoon was coming out of the screen at you it would split into 3!

― calzino, Friday, 4 August 2017 13:45 (eight years ago)

I meant 4, where do you after 3d?

― weird echo of the falsies (Tom D.), Friday, 4 August 2017 13:47 (eight years ago)

ah, scratch n' sniff some Caine :p

― calzino, Friday, 4 August 2017 13:49 (eight years ago)

IV was the one where the shark followed a family halfway around the world for the sake of revenge and then jumped all the way out of the water and roared like a lion.

RIP Jawx

― I'm Calling My Loyer! (Old Lunch), Friday, 4 August 2017 14:01 (eight years ago)

The only scratch and sniff movie that I know of is John Waters' Polyester

― Gulley Jimson (Ward Fowler), Friday, 4 August 2017 14:01 (eight years ago)

IV was the one where the shark followed a family halfway around the world

and got there first, even though the family travelled by plane

No, it's the one with "The Italian Job" star Benny Hill.
