[film] I really do find Peter Lorre awfully attractive
PlurkDevi
Luke Skywanker
he's so good
PlurkDevi
Nowadays he's mostly known by his Looney Tunes caricatures 
Luke Skywanker
I know.. But he's a great actor and a doll. those eyes!
PlurkDevi
It's a known issue for performers of a certain vintage 
Luke Skywanker
True!
batsquatch
Yeah, I agree. It's sad he didn't get a wider variety of roles
Luke Skywanker
batsquatch
: I was watching Arsenic and Old Lace last night and he's one of those actors who makes me miss acting
Luke Skywanker
like, I'm watching him make these choices and salivating lol
Luke Skywanker
I mean but also I am into short people with big eyes so /shrug
Luke Skywanker
apparently he was very self-conscious and would go up to women and ask, "could you get used to my body?" or similar. 
batsquatch
God. I feel bad for character actors sometimes
batsquatch
But I watched "The Crack Up" just because he was in it playing a spy pretending to be mentally disabled
Luke Skywanker
oh yes that's on my list
batsquatch
The movie was eh but he was good
Luke Skywanker
(also man way to corner "sad but creepy" even in your come on lines)
batsquatch
Yeah I saw an interview with him and some youtube commenter was like "I thought he was supposed to be creepy??? He's just this normal guy." I think he was probably just a good actor who always got creep roles. but he was so good at it
Luke Skywanker
uh, yeah. he was just a guy
Luke Skywanker
it's like how everyone was astonished Boris Karloff was sweet. what did you expect?
batsquatch
Unfortunately his life was pretty terrible, so I suspect that sadness came from a real place
batsquatch
(Hello I somehow know lots of stuff about historical actors. It's not weird.)
Luke Skywanker
Yup
Luke Skywanker
it's my primary fandom
batsquatch
anyway I'd agree that he had an odd but very nice face 
Luke Skywanker
he's cute and I like cute
Luke Skywanker
batsquatch
: you're right this movie is bad but he's doing his usual thing of being a three dimensional character in a two dimensional movie
batsquatch
cute is v good
batsquatch
I guess I accidentally spoiled it too. Oops
Luke Skywanker
oh know I'd already read about it
Luke Skywanker
plus, it's given away five minutes in
batsquatch
yeah, there's that
batsquatch
his being sarcastic as they're all about to die is the best part
Luke Skywanker
He's delightful
Luke Skywanker
this movie doesn't deserve him
PlurkDevi
Peter Lorre was just the subject of a Jeopardy! question.
Luke Skywanker
