Remembering Tom Wilkinson and Richard Romanus
Just as 2023 is about to end, there's two actor's who have passed away. Here is my combined remembrance:
Remembering Tom Wilkinson 1948-2023
British actor Tom Wilkinson has died at 75. He was a serious "that guy" actor who appeared in countless great movies and you might not know his name but you'd say "that guy is good in everything"! He received two Academy Award nominations: Todd Field's excellent In the Bedroom for Lead Actor and Tony Gilroy's Michael Clayton for Supporting Actor. Both phenomenal performances!
Tumblr media
Kirsten Dunst and Wilkinson in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Beyond those two movies I think my other favorite performances of his were as the doctor with secrets of his own in Michel Gondry's Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and the uncle in Woody Allen's underrated Cassandra's Dream.
Other notable performances included The Full Monty, Rush Hour, Shakespeare in Love, Ride with the Devil, The Patriot, Batman Begins, Recount, The Grand Budapest Hotel, and Selma just to name a few. That's a lot of historical biopics and period pieces he specialized in! He was consistently good in so many ensemble films.
The link above is the obit from Hollywood Reporter.
Remembering Richard Romanus 1943-2023
Actor Richard Romanus has died at 80. He is most known for playing the loan shark in Martin Scorsese's early epic Mean Streets! The scenes with him and Robert De Niro were quite memorable.

He also played Dr. Melfi's husband on multiple episodes of The Sopranos from 1999-2002.

“you’re not exactly living off of quiche”
my card got taken at the bar tonight. we got free tequila shots and maybe a few beers. i’d say it was a fair exchange.
also i played pool and shuffleboard tonight which was the goal (pool specifically) so i can’t complain much.

Johnny Depp, a marching band lead by a cute guy, and orphans in need of saving.
I was Johnny Depp, and associated with a group of about 15 orphans who lived on the street and looked like little chimney boys and girls from London in the 1800s. I brought them popcorn in those red and white striped cardboard buckets you would associate with the circus or festivals. One day, I went to the usual spot in the city where the orphans congregated, only to see them being hauled away by men in grey uniform. I followed them, finding that they were being held in this large, grey compound on an island far out at see. The building was rectangular, and there were windows but instead of glass panes, they were filled out by iron bars in a true prison nature. I snuck into the compound, pretending to be a guard, somehow I was not discovered as an imposter. In my now conscious mind, I am still unable to conjure up reasoning behind the lack of suspicion the guard had when Johnny Depp enters the compound in a regular beige trench coat and baggy black trousers, claiming to be one of them. I discover the orphans are being dragged around, forced to perform with drums and trumpets, wearing vibrant uniforms with the same red and white pattern as the popcorn buckets I gifted them before their capture. They paraded around a big bowl shaped hole in the ground of a large open space in the compound. Guards in their grey uniform were stationed at the top of the bowl, evenly spaced apart. The orphan marching band was led by a tall man with gelled, wavy blond hair, sharp features, and striking blue eyes. His pale skin was smooth and reminded me of a porcelain doll, aside from the splatter of faint freckles across his marvelous cheekbones. He marched ahead of the orphans with a bold demeanour, confidence in every strong stomp of his black boots. Pressed against his lips, he held a long recorder of which created a high pitched, playful melody that the band behind him supported.

Duke: "So then Ra's went-"
Damian: "You know that's not grandfather's name right"
Duke: "Hm?"
Damian: "that's not his name it's a title, you're supposed to say the whole title, his name isn't 'Head'"

Duke: "She give me Ra's on my Ghul til I…"

Honestly, Eddie doesn’t know why it had taken so long for him to realize his and Steve’s children could understand the shit that came out of his mouth.
(It took an embarrassingly long amount of time).
Even when Moe’s third or fourth word was fuck, he didn’t realize it (and she was using it mostly correctly too, which should have been a serious flag, but nope).
What made him realize it was when they started repeating the shit that came out of his mouth. 
To strangers.
In public.
The first time Eddie had been really caught off guard by something one of his daughters said was when Moe, who was three at the time, had proudly announced to an unsuspecting grocery store cashier, “Daddy says my Papa’s a DILF!”
And, like, Eddie had just heard the term for the first time, and obviously he was goddamn delighted by it because…duh. Steve. 
It just hadn’t occurred to him that his toddler might have caught it too, but little pitchers have big ears, or so the proverb suggests, and Eddie had taken it as a wake-up call that Moe isn’t a baby anymore (tragic as it may be).
He’s not the only problem though – Steve is just as bad, (if not worse, because he really doesn’t bother to check where their kids are before he starts running his mouth).
One particularly damning incident was at a restaurant, which is something they don’t even do all that often because, seriously, going to a restaurant with very young kids should be an Olympic event or something.
(The last time they all went out to eat, Nancy and Robin had made a drinking game out of all the times Steve and Eddie had to take a child to the bathroom and ended up so far gone that Eddie had needed to drive them home).
The incident started with the waitress asking, “Can I get you started with anything to drink?”
And it had ended with four-year-old Moe confidently announcing, “My Papa needs a fucking margarita.”
Thank god, the waitress had been a twenty-something college student and thought it was hilarious, but Steve had still been completely mortified.
