Exclusive Supercut: Gary Oldman Loses His Shit

By Jason Bailey on

The great Gary Oldman, one of our very favorite actors, turns 55 years old today, and while there’s much to celebrate about the actor — his tremendous range, his chameleonic physical versatility, the ease with which he juggles small and large films, the flawlessness of his American accent — we have to say that our favorite thing about him is the skill and intensity with which he goes insane onscreen. It happens fairly reliably across his filmography, and it’s always worth waiting for, so in celebration of Mr. Oldman’s birthday, we assembled a few of our favorite instances of the actor going bananas. Check it out after the jump. … Read More

Watch a Supercut of Great “Dudes” in Film History

By Caroline Stanley on

First born in the late 19th-century as slang for Eastern city slickers who ventured into the Wild West, the word “dude” crops up in movies more than you might think — and we’re not just talking about the Coen Brothers’ script for The Big Lebowski. Alex Moschina at Slacktory has created a supercut of great “dudes” in film history, from Howard Hawks’ 1959 western Rio Bravo (which featured the original “Dude,” Dean Martin) to David Wain’s 2008 bromantic comedy Role Models. Click through to watch it now, and let us know which “dude” is your favorite in the comments. We’ll always be partial to the great Edie McClurg’s matter-of-fact delivery of “They think he’s a righteous dude” in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. … Read More
