Most underrated/overrated actor/actress - Page 4

Bruce Campbell's actually admitted that he prefers doing the "weird" roles and B movies. He says they're more fun.

I always hoped Kevin Bacon would get some sort of award one day, he's been in several classic movies and never really got anything. I think he got a People's Choice Award once but that was it.

William Hurt
Gary Oldman

As far as Leonardo DiCaprio goes, he will forever be remembered for his roles in Growing Pains and Titanic. I think that's why he plays all these badass roles now, as a way to compensate.

William Hurt is...underrated? Gary Oldman...overrated?

Are you on cock? Did you just freebase a goddamn 8 ball of cock?

Daniel Day-Lewis is underrated, he was awesome in The Last of the Mohicans and There Will Be Blood.

Hes not underrated, hes just unheard of because he does 1 movie every 5 years.

And he was fucking awesome in There Will be Blood. I didn't personally care for Gangs of New York.

No

Quote:

When the term "milkshake" was first used in print in 1885, milkshakes were an alcoholic whiskey drink[7] that has been described as a "sturdy, healthful eggnog type of drink, with eggs, whiskey, etc., served as a tonic as well as a treat".[8] However, by 1900, the term referred to "wholesome drinks made with chocolate, strawberry, or vanilla syrups." By the "early 1900s people were asking for the new treat, often with ice cream." By the 1930s, milkshakes were a popular drink at malt shops, which were the "typical soda fountain of the period... used by students as a meeting place or hangout."[8]

I didnt even know Daniel Day-lewis was in Last of the Mohican's till fairly recently. Looks like a different man.

Milkshake line:

Quote:

The milkshake line from There Will Be Blood came from a transcript that PT Anderson found of the 1924 congressional hearings over the Teapot Dome scandal.

Anderson concedes that he's puzzled by the phenomenon -- particularly because the lines came straight from a transcript he found of the 1924 congressional hearings over the Teapot Dome scandal, in which Sen. Albert Fall was convicted of accepting bribes for oil-drilling rights to public lands in Wyoming and California.

In explaining oil drainage, Fall's "way of describing it was to say 'Sir, if you have a milkshake and I have a milkshake and my straw reaches across the room, I'll end up drinking your milkshake,' " Anderson says. "I just took this insane concept and used it."

Viola!
