Thanks for letting me know that about McShane...I've never seen that miniseries, can you believe it?<br /><br />And for realz, yes poor Ewan's character had no point, really, except being awesome and well-groomed. :P<br /><br />I think lots of actors would've been hard-pressed to outshine Ewan hamming it up. ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11986319237275869540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1319032275293010502.post-66898867937507415622013-03-11T19:20:45.001-07:002013-03-11T19:20:45.001-07:00Before I start off again about the wonders of Ewan...Before I start off again about the wonders of Ewan's hair, for more Ian McShane in his younger days, he plays Judas Iscariot in the 1977 TV miniseries Jesus of Nazareth, to which he is always that to me. <br /><br />Anywho back to Ewan's hair, YES! The absolute best part of the movie. I wanted more of him. To be honest, I'm not really sure why his character was in the movie because there was no real payoff for him. Other than having fabulous hair. Seriously the best part was when it was all wet from the lake or whatnot, and then suddenly 30 seconds later all sticking up perfectly mussed up and dry. <br /><br />I think I must have fallen asleep during part of the beginning...when they were climbing up the beanstalk because I barely remember Lestrade being in the movie and next thing I know he's been eaten. I liked Nicholas Hoult and I liked Jack (he looked very modern with his "hoodie" and "leather jacket") though he just wasn't as memorable for me as Ewan. And I did love him in Warm Bodies. Interestingly I have only seen 2 movies so far in 2013 and they both star him.

I kept expecting that there was going to be some twist of backstory involving him that would help them defeat the giants.Kaye Dacushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04187774900100851982noreply@blogger.com
