I do not think anyone other than Kathy Bates had the chops to pull off the roleof Annie Wilkes. Midler could probably do insane and do it well, but Annie Wilkes is a whole different ball of wax, and Kathy was the only one that could get it hot enough and burning the right kind of bright.
I saw him playing a Police Chief/Sheriff in a movie dealing with a hitman and mob messing around in a small town after a family man robs a pill house. Over all the plot was bad but his acting was really good. edit: Mob Land. Wonder if they took the name from Cop land. A great little known Stallone movie filled with a ton of stars.
The whole Steve McQueen/Paul Newman top-billing situation cropped up in THE TOWERING INFERNO five years later. The studio, not wanting to miss out on having both stars in the same movie, came up with a fantastic plan of having their names appear on screen and posters diagonally adjacent, so if you read left-to-right McQueen had first billing but if you read top-to-bottom, Newman took that honour. Pathetic pettiness all the same, but at least they found a workaround this time out.
Betty White has turned down several roles due to animal cruelty. She turned down a role in Anchorman for the scene where Jack Black punts the dog off a bridge. It's CLEARLY a stuffed dog in the scene...which adds to the comedy of it...but good for Betty for sticking to her beliefs. As an animal lover also, much respect.
I love the movie Flight, but the entire time they are in the air is silly. like, even the takeoff scene they took liberties. but the inversion is one of the big ones that they got wrong. if you roll a plane at that low of an altitude, you'd hit the ground long before you evened back out. not as bad as the thing with the engines, though. first they pull the fire handle, which kills the engine. then you see the engine still burning. then the pilot tells them to punch up the throttle. it makes no sense.
She wasn’t worried feeding the cow to a crocodile would lead to people hurting cows in real life. She was clearly concerned the scene with the dog might lead to people actually putting dogs in danger.
One scene somewhat casually normalizes the kind of abuse any scumbag or stupid kid might do to a dog. The other scene depicts an absolutely unrealistic scenario where a 50 foot crocodile kills a cow.
@@SamBrickell but it's completely realistic that a 50 foot crocodile would eat a cow. A crocodile living in Maine, that's unrealistic. A crocodile getting that big, that's unrealistic. A normal crocodile chomping a cow...that's just Tuesday
The irony is the plane stuff in "Flight" was not only inspired by the real life crash of Alaska Airlines Flight 261, but in that real life incident, the pilots also inverted the plane to try and regain control, though sadly in real life, the manoeuvre didn't work.
Steve McQueen was probably one of the few people that could get top billing over Paul Newman from what i can tell. Wasn't he considered the face of cool in his day?
McQueen was notorious for being fanatically competitive, sometimes almost psychotic about it. Bruce Lee, who could be quite competitive himself, liked that quality in McQueen when he was giving him kung fu and jeet kun do instruction, but would have liked it better if McQueen had tempered his competitive streak with a bit of philosophical humility. (Lee was a university philosophy major.) He said that if he could combine McQueen with another of his celebrity students, the quiet, scholarly, and philosophical-minded James Coburn, he'd have the perfect martial artist. He did soon find that perfect martial artist, though, a competitive philosopher. His name was Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
If you read Paul Newman’s memoir you’ll see that it was the director, George Roy Hill, that pulled the plug on casting Steve McQueen in the film. McQueen wanted to play Butch, but Hill insisted it be played by Newman. So McQueen was out because he didn’t want to swap roles. The rest has been noise ever since.
It's the soup scene that got to me for Misery. Especially as it's written in the book. My overactive imagination pictured the hair & carpet lint that were scooped back into the bowl for the author to be force fed & I gagged, put the book down, and didn't pick it back up for 3 years. 🤢🤢🤢
Omg! As Good As It Gets wasn't a kids movie or one a kid would even choose to watch. It's in my top 3 favorites all time. Sad about BW but it was still phenomenal without her.
I love how they show Betty White stuff and included a scene of her feeding a cow to the alligator in the movie Lake Placid, pointing out the hypocrisy.
Wild that a lot of comments have that smoke for Mahky-Mahk not wanting to Hawk Tuah on screen, but are silent on Patti LaBelle having reservations on a lesbian kiss. Perhaps some implicit biases not being voiced in that decision.
Wasn't Betty White in a movie where an eagle flys off with the pet dog? I have to wonder if Patti LaBelle would have been ok kissing a woman if it was a female woman.
Why? Some people hold themselves to certain standards. Same as how some actors won't do kissing scenes or sex scenes, nudes scenes, sex scenes. Etc. Not everyone wants to see men having sex on screen. Heck, most people don't wanna see people having sex on screen in general. It doesn't add anything to the film.

Midler would have been pretty good. Just not great. She could pull of the manic screaming just fine. But probably not the cold indifference.
Well if you look at the movies Travolta says yes to....there is some reason to question his judgment
That’s bcuz his career has taken some downturns (therefore he doesn’t like to turn anything down)

Misery was so hard to watch, but for that reason the movie is quite legendary.

That's the last name of the character.

Test pilot rolled a Boeing passenger jet in 1955, but Travolta knows better. LOL
Movies can be made on the cheap, but these "artists" want detail nobody cares about.
Good for Anne Hathaway, knocked up has to be one of the worst movies ever made
Not the worst,but pretty implausible at times..
1000 thumbs up- that movie totally sucked
Why do you think that?
You must get offended by great comedies
@@betterthanumjf only an absolute moron would address this movie as a great comedy
Mark Wahlberg is a trump voter... That's all you nee to o know.
Most and I mean most of these movies were better off.
Steve McQueen sounds like a tool.
Betty White animal activist turned down a role over a dog in a trash chute but was cool with feeding cows to a crocodile
Watched The Graduate recently and rated it a 4 out of 10. This just was not a good film on any of its own merits.
It changed cinema forever...so you must have very good taste
Now,that one is a classic 👌
The only list Brokeback Mountain should be on is "movies that never should have been made".
But wait… Betty White didn’t agree with “animal-abuse” but feeding a cow to a giant crocodile is ok??? I still love you Betty! 🥹

So Anne Hathaway had an issue even knowing they'd give her character a stunt c*** 😮
Betty turning down As Good As It Gets for that reason makes her role in Lake Placid EVEN MORE AWESOME!!!!!!!!
Bette Midler seems all wrong for Misery.
I think Middler could've made it work, but really, that role was made for Kathy Bates. She killed it!
I feel like I'd just see Winnie Sanderson in the final fight scenes 😂
And please Mark Wahlberg. So immature.
He would’ve TANKED that movie.

I agree Betty White!!
did you miss the clips showing her playing a character feeding a cow to a giant alligator?
How can they quit if they weren't in the film to start with?
Broke Back Mountain was trash
I heard Rick Dalton tried to land the part when Steve McQueen pulled out. To Bad he didn't get it. Man I miss Bounty Law! 😢
Dalton really showed his acting chops in Lancer
McQueen and Newman had that same battle with names on 'Thw Towering Inferno'. It lead to the staggered wat their names are in the opening vredits.
McQueen was notorious for being fanatically competitive, sometimes almost psychotic about it. Bruce Lee, who could be quite competitive himself, liked that quality in McQueen when he was giving him kung fu and jeet kun do instruction, but would have liked it better if McQueen had tempered his competitive streak with a bit of philosophical humility.

He did soon find that perfect martial artist, though, a competitive philosopher. His name was Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
And Kareem later appeared in Lee’s unfinished project, Game of Death

5:48 The writer of “Flight” is also an actor and played the main character in “Leprechaun 3.”

I wouldn’t say Knocked Up made Katherine Heigl an overnight success. I still remember first seeing her in Under Seige 2

"John Travolta found the inverted plane scene silly." He's right, it was.
The inverted flight actually did happen to Alaska Airlines 261. It is not made up. However, it crashed and nobody survived.
@@mikeoyler2983 the way it was portrayed in the movie was silly. Did you watch it?
@@0101-s7v I did and did not find it silly.
@@mikeoyler2983 LOL… okie dokey
Never understood the praise for Knocked Up.
Anne Hathaway may have dodged a bullet there, Knocked Up hasn't aged well
Thank you! I hated it when I saw it, and I still hate it. ☺️
It's hilarious and made superstars
Wasn't Betty White in a movie where an eagle flys off with the pet dog? I have to wonder if Patti LaBelle would have been ok kissing a woman if it was a female woman.
