And there are so many more movies he's in that I have not yet seen... oh the shame... ugh3 Oh, dear Lord Dafoe, please forgive me. embarrasment

Edges of the Lord

The English Patient

Adam Resurrected (This one has Jeff Goldblum, too!!)

The Hunter

Triumph of the Spirit

and many, many more... oh, the shame, I am but a sinner... weep Come, sinners, and repent...

I have brought an offering for the lord.

Patient_Leech
Your offering is accepted, but it does not excuse you from repentance. You still must repent!

YOU ALL MUST REPENT!!! OR HE WILL HUNT YOU DOWN AND CASTRATE YOU WITH HIS HOLY GRACE AND MERCY!!!!!!

Pretty good interview about Antichrist. In case someone hasn't seen it, I recommend it. One of the more beautifully filmed movies, but definitely the most psychologically disturbing that I've ever seen. So be warned.

I can highlight the kidDafoe. Such as playing the saber-tooth-tiger in all four Ice Ages and spoofing him self as "Gill," the scarred zebra-fish from Finding Nemo. He lends his voice to both characters so that we cannot forget that it is he.

ETA : Leechy, my friend, that clip is exquisite. Like... really. I've not seen many films with Defoe, but that made me think of Marlon Brando in "On the Waterfront" with all the passion that you can see in his whole body.

Dafoe voiced the saber-tooth tiger from Ice Age? I thought that was Dennis Leary?

I often wondered what Dafoe thought of his role in Boondock, whether it was just a "paying gig" or if he actually enjoyed the role he played & relishes the cult status the movie became...?

I also think he would've made a better Ghost Rider then Cage.

Looks like he must have enjoyed it to me... just look at him dancing up there... stick out tongue

The old pictures of Dafoe Christ is unpleasant and gruesome. So we're unleashing the new Image of Christ. It's called "Buddy Dafoe Christ." Doesn't it just *pop* "Buddy Dafoe"??

Ah, though your sins are great and wide, your honesty is appreciated. You have come to the right place. Repent and ask for forgiveness... AND THEN WATCH A MOVIE WITH HIM ASAP OR ELSE YOU WILL UPSET THE GREAT AND POWERFUL DAFOE!!! AND THEY'RE ALL GOOD!!! JUST PICK ONE!!! (however, The Last Temptation of Christ is a favorite of mine. He's gay in Boondock Saints and it's a pretty great movie. Also, the original and best Spider-man film features the great Dafoe. I'm really surprised you've never seen anything with him. He does a voice for Finding Nemo as well...)

I have a confession. I have seen the film American Psycho (twice in fact) and did not even remember that the Mighty Dafoe was in it. Oh, how pathetic and worthless I am... please forgive me, Lord Dafoe! I am such a fuc*ing idiot.. sad I'll also confess that I don't really understand the movie very well, so that's probably why I don't ever remember it.

Damn son. You're in for a treat.

Platoon and Shadow of the Vampire were awesome. Mississippi Burning was a solid performance. He's creepy in Lynch's Wild at Heart.

I just found out he was in The Hunger. One of my fav vampire movies. A very short role. 2nd Phone Booth Youth lol.

Here is his glorious 4 secs. lol

Oh, the Dafoe... how your majesty uplifts me.

I kind of dosed off here and there during Inside Man (please forgive me Lord), but it was cool. I think I kind of got the gist of it, though. Pretty cool heist movie.

I just got Spider-man on Blu-ray... pray

I Ninjak, Disciple of da/the Foe have witnessed the gospel that was the Boondock Saints. And come forth with tidings.

And my faith in da/the Foe has been enhanced. Surely he is a messenger of the Word. Not man nor woman, like an Archangel of legend. With detective skills rivalling the great Sherlock Holmes he conquers all with his presence.

Surely he is a god amongst men.

He could have played a bad guy, your right he should have been the villian but its funny how the ending it does a flip switch and the heros turn out to be the villians themselves. I loved the guns they used, made out of bone; that was pretty neat.

Yeah he was in the second one, If i recall he doesn't show up until near the end.

Just a cameo, which sucked. Still at least he wasnt written out.

Kazenji
Spoilers if you have'nt seen the second one Leech

Bloom meets with Father Sibeal who has arranged to take her to a safe place out of the country to flee FBI prosecution. She is shocked to discover that Sibeal has been working with Smecker (Willem Dafoe) who faked his own death and developed a network of support for the Saints and their work. Smecker tells Bloom his plans to break the Saints out of prison.

They made the sequel with good intentions but there was a couple "nod nod wink wink" in-jokes made in reference to the 1st movie which gave it a cheesey appeal.

Willem Dafoe should have been in Christopher Nolan's Interstellar. He probably could have saved it somehow.

I thought that this guy was black, due to the name.

Willam Dafoe sounds like a black name to me :/.

I saw Spiderman and Boondock Saints, but never bothered to check the cast.

In fact, I can't name anyone from Boondock Saints, I knew Tobey Maguire was Spiderman, but that's about it...

It's a mediocre film, but somewhat entertaining. Willem Dafoe stars alongside Nicolas Cage and Willem Dafoe is the crazy one this time. It's glorious.

Well I'm talking about people like surt. He seems gone permanently. Also that green-fonted Fly. I mean, I know they were annoying Right-wingers, but I still found them entertainingly likeable. At least in certain forums.

StiltmanFTW
Surtur has had it coming. He literally begged Pr to permaban him after 999 warnings.

Fly has had dozens of bans (deserved every single one), but he never got permabanned. He just switched to his sock accounts or took a break from the site, as he told us.

These days, we have some of the most lenient mods on the Internet.

I'm looking forward to seeing them, but I'm honestly kind of dreading having to sit through that fuc#king movie to do so.

Damn Disney, they're evil geniuses.

StiltmanFTW
Molina has a lot of screen time and appears early (trailer spoiled it), so it won't be a long wait.

Dafoe has less, but he makes it count and does his own stunts.

Not sure if you know, but that was his agreement with Disney. Either they allow him to perform his own stunts - despite his age - or he quits.

Interesting. What's the deal with that? Why did he insist on doing his own stunts?

StiltmanFTW
You made a thread dedicated to Dafoe, you should know.

He is not like other actors. Willem is not a pussy.

Not only he has the biggest cock in the Hollywood (seriously, watch his nude scenes), he does his own stunts, because he likes to. Man digs action.

'Listen, I don't want to just pop in there as a cameo or just fill in in close-ups. I want to do the action because that's fun for me."

"It's really impossible to add any integrity or any fun to the character if you don't participate in these things because all that action stuff informs your relationship to the characters and the story, and also it makes you earn your right to play the character."

StiltmanFTW
Plenty of good actors who are afraid of doing any stunts.

Willem just operates on a different level. Love the way he elaborated on the subject, too - makes perfect sense.

He is 66 now, so it's not as easy as it sounds. Not only you need to be in a great shape, you need to get the studio to agree, too.

Yeah, because you're anti-MCU and anti-popular.

Yeah, it's impressive. But they're getting to live childhood dreams making these movies. It's extraordinarily fun, I guarantee.



Originally posted by StiltmanFTW

Not entirely true. There are some great and terrible MCU films. And everything inbetween. I'm interested in entertaining and/or smart films. I like big spectacle stuff as much as the next guy, but I just prefer there to be some substance to it or at least some impressive craft. I think that's what annoyed me so much about Doctor Strange was that it was such a potentially interesting and subtle concept, but it was wasted with awful Beyonce "jokes" and awful astral projection gimmicks. And so far the MCU Spiderman just screams "We Want $$$$$" to me, and not a lot of artistic integrity. Sam Raimi's films were artful and had a singular filmmaker's skillful craft behind them. They were a singular vision and didn't just look like a big corporate money-machine (that is until the 3rd one of course). That and pre-pubescent Peter Parker is just annoying to me. It just doesn't work as well on screen, even though I get that it may actually be more true to the comic character. And while what the MCU has done is impressive and revolutionary, there is also a little bit of the element of kitsch mass-produced products shoved down consumers' throats. When they were delivering good films it was tolerable, but when they shoehorned in Captian Marvel and Spiderman Homecoming when they weren't necessary (and actually hurt the overarching story they were doing with Thanos) it became cringey. So yes, I do like stuff that can cut across the grain a little bit. A little subversion and rebelliousness is often a good thing. Big, corporate committee films tend not to do that.

Stuntsmen are treated like shit by Hollywood. Just look at the guy who did stunts for John Rhys-Davies in Lord of the Rings - Brett Beattie. Internet is full of the new articles on this subject. Made me feel really sorry for him and you should know I'm not exactly the most empathetic person on KMC.

He's been given no credit, but the Fellowship actors considered him their equal --- he even got the "Nine" tattoo, as the rest of them.

When the big league actor wants to do his own stunts, studios knows they can't botch anything up, not anymore --- and they're just not used to that laughing out loud

So, you could easily argue that Dafoe is the true superhero here, knowing no harm will done to any stuntsmen rich people don't give a shit about, at least not in his own scenes.

Gotta love how he explains that participating in action makes the character feel more real, too.

This is the man who loves his job and understands what this is all about.

Not entirely true. There are some great and terrible MCU films. And everything inbetween. I'm interested in entertaining and/or smart films. I like big spectacle stuff as much as the next guy, but I just prefer there to be some substance to it or at least some impressive craft. I think that's what annoyed me so much about Doctor Strange was that it was such a potentially interesting and subtle concept, but it was wasted with awful Beyonce "jokes" and awful astral projection gimmicks. And so far the MCU Spiderman just screams "We Want $$$$$" to me, and not a lot of artistic integrity. Sam Raimi's films were artful and had a singular filmmaker's skillful craft behind them. They were a singular vision and didn't just look like a big corporate money-machine (that is until the 3rd one of course). That and pre-pubescent Peter Parker is just annoying to me. It just doesn't work as well on screen, even though I get that it may actually be more true to the comic character. And while what the MCU has done is impressive and revolutionary, there is also a little bit of the element of kitsch mass-produced products shoved down consumers' throats. When they were delivering good films it was tolerable, but when they shoehorned in Captian Marvel and Spiderman Homecoming when they weren't necessary (and actually hurt the overarching story they were doing with Thanos) it became cringey. So yes, I do like stuff that can cut across the grain a little bit. A little subversion and rebelliousness is often a good thing. Big, corporate committee films tend not to do that.

Fair enough.

I was mostly just messing with you, but thanks for the reply.

I'll keep it really short, because we shouldn't hijack this thread too much.

Astral projection gimmicks were necessary, in my humble opinion, because they've always played a big part in Dr. Strange's mythos. You just can't skip that part.

I thought you'd find the mirror dimension or the Cloak of Levitation cosplaying as a damn symbiote more annoying.

No Way Home pays a huge tribute to Raimi's films. And does it well. Whole point of the film.

Uses the power of our nostalgia, granted, but that's what all of us secretly wanted.

Aflred Molina is a pretty damn good reason, too.

Look, I loved Church's performance in SM3, but... in No Way Home... he was heavily CGI'd for the 99% of the film and we only see him in the human form near the end of the movie in a very brief scene... and - IMO at least - it looked like a re-used, modified footage from SM3. Could be wrong.

While Foxx is definitely less annoying than in TASM2 (no argument here), I can't say either of the TASM villains delivered a good performance.

Then again, even if they did, they still would be outshined by Dafoe and Molina.

they did do the va work though.

Thanks for clearing that up thumb up Makes perfect sense now, suspected so, but read no article about it.

I remember reading that.
It just shows how much everyone wanted this done, though.

Willem Dafoe hosted Saturday Night Live last night and it was awesome.

Katy Perry was awful, but Dafoe killed it. eek!

Willem Dafoe was so awesome in The Northman.

He continues to be a solid, stand-out character actor.

Yeah, it's not a good film. Doesn't hold up well. Very dated, mostly due to fu#king Wang Chung.

I'm thinking about making it part of movie night with my friends next time we get together...

Is it legitimately a good movie?

I didn't think To Live And Die In L.A. was good at all. And it has good reviews and whatnot. It's terribly dated, simply does not hold up.

StiltmanFTW
It is a good film, yeah thumb up

StiltmanFTW
The way I see it, one should stay away from that movie only if cannot stomach prison films at all (it's not a genre for everyone, after all) or Dafoe himself.

He is an excellent protagonist in Animal Factory and carries the film all by himself.

Patient_Leech
Excellent. I'm looking forward to it. Shawshank with Dafoe?! I'm in!

And it's directed by Steve Buscemi! 😄

Also featuring some other familiar faces like the kid from T2.

Ladies and gentlemen, fellow worshippers of the true savior of humanity, Willem Dafoe (aka Dafoe Christ)...

We need a Willem Dafoe Joker movie before it's too late...

True. I mean, seriously: in theory with the Avatar mo-cap technology he could be brought to life even posthumously... essentially!

I mean, I actually think it would probably be disrespectful to make a performance for someone posthumously. But if it was for Dafoe/Joker, it might be an appropriate homage. It would be the ULTIMATE respect... maybe? haha..
