When ever I am driving into 'the planet hooston', I make sure to announce that they must all kneel to Me.

They never do though. ☹️

Aww man. RIP Terence "General Zod" Stamp. What an underrated actor. He was also great in "The Limey"

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109045/

He did excellent job in this film

Also love his character in Yes Man! One of my top 10 movies.

Thanks for the reminder, Priscilla is one of my favorite movies!

My favourite performance of his was Toby Dammit. RIP

“Oh god..”

“…Zod!”

Still one of my favourite

I fully expect to be in a weird film-geeky minority here: Teorema is a masterpiece. Most fuckable maybe-possibly-Christian god avatar to ever grace the silver screen.

I just watched Last Night in SoHo a couple nights ago, recognised him and looked him up on Wikipedia, and was happy to see he was still alive and kicking.

Goddamnit, 2025 - we can’t have shit!

He did such a wonderful job as Bernadette in Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. For a 90s movie featuring a trans woman played by a cis man I was worried about it coming off badly when I first watched it, but it was anything but. He played Bernadette elegantly, with class & sass, & a real dimension of empathy.

I was browsing his Wikipedia page literally the other day. Man, what a great actor.

He died three days ago.

Yeah, I know?

Just putting a upper bound on when the other day could have been, since they'd have probably updated his Wiki entry quickly.

Ah, yeah, sure. I wasn't entirely concerned with remembering exactly when I read the wiki page, hence the generic timeframe, but I'll check my browser history and let you know if you're that interested lol

I just learned that the Kinks Waterloo Sunset, "Terry and Julie" was Terrence Stamp and Julie Christie who were dating.

Terry meets Julie

Waterloo station

Every Friday night

But I am so lazy, don't want to wander

I stay at home at night

But I don't feel afraid

As long as I gaze on

Waterloo sunset

I am in paradise

I liked him in The Haunted Mansion
