SEAN BEAN 100% POLL

I've only seen Troy, LOTR, Ronin, WSC, GoldeEye and Patriot Games. Tell me about the others.

"Flightplan" is an incredibly stupid movie that still manages to be massively entertaining. Worth seeing once, preferably while drinking.

it sucks that i paid to see wsc in the cinema.

i don't understand how rich and crazy you have to be to do one movie every five years and pick flightplan.

(referring to j. foster there. sean bean is obviously amazing and has impeccable judgment)

You're talking about the same J. Foster who did "Contact", right?

No Sharpe?

Goddamnit, I want to vote for the Sharpe movies.

x-post

oh man, i just skipped over them because i thought they were all tv. sorry.

One predictable vote for Ronin.

yeah the t.v. stuff is best like Sharpe. he was good in Red Riding too.

off topic, but how do you mean?

I mean it's pretty well established that Jodie Foster is completely tone-deaf when it comes to choosing projects; it's not quite Cuba Gooding Jr.-level of "omfg why is someone with an Oscar in 'Boat Trip'" silliness but her name on the marquee is in no way an indicator of the quality of the movie. (Also, "Contact" sucked balls.)

ok, but i love contact.

i guess my point with foster is that she seems to be so selective, whereas cuba gooding is a pretty easy lay for any producer with a script.

Haven't seen most, tbh, but I have a new Netflix list now....

xxp when viz is good it's very good

yeah sorry dan contact was pretty rad

wow there are people who liked contact.

pretty much everyone i work with loves contact (note: i work with radio astronomers)

Laurel, have you seen When Saturday Comes?

contact had FICHTNER come on

contact would have been better with bean in the McConaughey role

BEAN better

“That’s Sean Bean, the tough guy actor"

Caek, have not seen!! And netflix doesn't acknowledge that it exists, which is a bummer.

It's completely awful, but I think you would love it.

Oh my god I so lied. I've seen Equilibrium AND The Island, and never even remembered that Sean Bean was in them. Shudder.

Give me Ronin any day, and twice on Sundays.

haha, the whole thing is on youtube

I'm sure I would! I just can't get it, apparently. xp OMG

no region 1 dvd

Goddamnit, I want to vote for the Sharpe movies

;_;

I was certain we had a thread about how terrible "Contact" is but I can't find it! ;_;

i wanted to vote Sharpe :(

i dislike sean beans weasely bad guy shtick so i voted for troy.

hes set to play ned stark in the game of thrones miniseries btw.

Can't remember him in 'How to Get Ahead in Advertising'. Based on his part in Goldeneye he would've made a great James Bond, sadly too old for that now.

Would vote for 'Red Riding' if it were an option, guess I'll have to think about it.

if you wanna pick on crappy jodie foster movies, surely the brave one is a riper target

Since a former colleague first did it about ten years back I am unable to pronounce his name as anything except "Seen Born"...

SHARPE

I 'worked on' the set of Anna Karenina as the director's dogsbody.

Jimmy McGovern's broken is excellent, of depressing, viewing.

Sean Bean is absolutely incredible in it, though. He inhabits the character so fully, it's really beautiful to watch. listening to his voice alone is amazing.

A friend who works in wardrobe on film and TV claims that Sean is the best person she's ever worked with. Kind, gentle, no ego at all. I love him.

All four episodes are on iplayer and there are two to go.

my mum has met him a few times through her work (he was patron of a charity she was involved in) and she says the same about him.

Does she also say "I love him"?

Thanks for the link!

i suspect if she were american she would say "he makes me hot like july", so kind of?

i love that weird sweaty insecurity in boromir and spence in ronin. it's there with this weird tragic quality in game of thrones. i recognize these are not serious roles, but they're not nothing.

In comments reported by the Radio Times, Bean said: “I think he speaks a lot of sense. I don’t mean I want to go back to the 80s, the strikes and stuff like that, but he’s sticking up for the working-class man and it’s time we heard that voice again.”
