Daniel Day Lewis is Lincoln; No, Seriously

Man ain't trying to get stabbed.

And let's all pour out a little liquor for the demise of Velvet and Richmond's greatest piece of building art:

 

GOD BLESS YOU.

I would try to tell people there was a painting of Lady Di on a strip club and the looks I would get...I love having proof.

 

A painting of Lady Di with Barbra Streisand's nose.

 

1. You don't get stabbed at Have a Nice Day. You get SHOT. In the FACE.

2. Penny Lane Pub should have responded with a mural of a stripper on a pole

 

It was a delicate search to perform at work, to be sure. God bless Flickr and whoever saw fit to document the mural. Don't know what you've got...till it's gone...

 

Didn't DeNiro live, sleep, etc. in cabs in NYC before filming "Taxi Driver?"

I've got no problem with Day-Lewis' method of acting and I don't understand how it can bother anyone. It doesn't affect you directly, and if that's what makes him turn in a great role then why should anyone be mad at him? It's not like he went around beating up and stabbing people during "Gangs of New York."

 

DeNiro also packed on the pounds to play old Jake LaMotta in Raging Bull.
DeNiro, Christian Bale and DDL are of the same mindset and damn fine actors. Though I think DeNiro has gone the way of Pacino.
Bale nearly starved himself for his role in The Machinist.

DDL was outstanding in Last of the Mohicans.

 

I read Bale's diet was cigarettes and an apple a day for The Machinist. He was, quite frankly, disgusting for that role. He got super skinny for The Fighter, too. And to think he's all bulked up now for Batman and was solid in Terminator: Salvation.

 

Best portrayal of Lincoln was by Whitest Kids U Know:

There are pictures out on the web, btw, of Bill Murray playing FDR in a film currently being shot.

 

GREAT pull. "Now you fucked up! Now you fucked up!"

Here's my favorite Whitest Kids sketch ever:

 

This made me laugh so loudly, I scared myself.

 

Did DeNiro hang out in a forest and fight with moose and squirrel to prepare himself for "Rocky and Bullwinkle"?

There's just a silliness and pretentiousness to it that's off-putting to me, and to others. I don't hate Daniel Day-Lewis, but I think he's a silly little man.
