There's a lot of people complaining that epics like The Iliad and books of that era aren't included in this list... but the list is for books printed in the past 1000 years, which those were not.
I first heard Jeremy Iron's voice in The Lion King. I thought "Wow, that is the coolest voice I have ever heard in all my life." Then I saw what he looked like in Die Hard 3. That was a little odd with the accent and all, but I thought he was a really cool actor still. Then he was in The Man in the Iron Mask, and I felt it to be another very good performance. I've read a few reviews about him over the years, and it always seems like he is a man of dignity, choosing which parts he accepts carefully. I read once that he's never made a movie in Hollywood (don't know if that's true.) Anyways, what I want to know before I go see this movie is this: Am I going to regret having seen it? Will I hate him for it? I might go tonight but I want to at least brace myself if it's that bad. One review said that he seems to have lost all shame. Someone clue me in!
So now I can look up one giant string of numbers and get another giant string of numbers. Joy. Oh wait, I'm being a cynic... nope, wait, still seems silly.
