Sometimes I feel like he doesn't get enough credit for being such a good actor. The Long Good Friday, Mona Lisa, and Who Framed Roger Rabbit are some faves of mine.

"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter

We must have different Gods. My God said "do to others what you would have them do to you". Your God seems to have said "My Way or the Highway".

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
