Is Peter Dinklage big enough to headline a movie?

I want all of you to buy tickets to Cyrano to support all the little people in the Screen Actors Guild. We must prove Peter is big enough to open a major motion picture all by himself.

Begone. Stay away from any thread I write. I have seen your comments elsewhere and they are opposed to my values. We have no common ground to stand on.

>We have no common ground to stand on.

That's a compliment. Thank you.

You'll find plenty of dudes here who'll laugh and high five you for your attempt at jokes.

There's a deaf young women in Hawkeye. Maybe you can do one about her in that forum?

If it flops they can just claim "Heightism" or something.

The trailer initially had me interested---its cinematography looked warm and colorful--a bit like Amadeus. But then they played two of the songs from the movie and the magic was lost. I'm keeping my fingers crossed it will succeed though if only for Dinklage. He's the Billy Barty of this generation.

His lack of height is more believable liability than with Steve Martin's Roxanne where it was just a big nose. The Woke ones will be rattled by this but I am not a fan of races that don't fit the historical setting/culture so that puts me off in regards to the other actor. They tried doing the same with King Arthur and the recent David Copperfield film and others, it just doesn't work for me.

"He's the Billy Barty of this generation."

There is no finer accolade.

Of course, he is! I first saw him in the fantastic movie, "The Station Agent" which won numerous awards.

I would definitely see this in the theater if it wasn't for covid since it looks good. Instead, I'll wait for the DVD.

Haley Bennett is in it also. Both of them makes me watch the rental when it comes out.

The film was better than I thought it would be. A rather faithful adaptation of the play. Very enjoyable to say the least. Dinklage and Bennett were both good.

A comparison between the play and the film is here; http://thatwasnotinthebook.com/diff/cyrano-de-bergerac-vs-cyrano

Little Johnny is in the classroom and the teacher says, I want someone to tell me a word beginning with the letter A... Little Johnny shoots up his hand and the teacher says - "Put your hand down Johnny you'll say something wrong"... Another little girl says "Apple, miss". Very good Jamima - "Who can tell me a word begging with the letter B"? Again Johnny shoots up his hand... "Put your hand down Johnny you'll say something rude"... Another little boy says "Biscuit, miss"... Very goog David... "Who can tell me a word beginning with the letter C"?...Little Johnny shoots both hands into the air and is jumping up and down... "Put your hand down Johnny you'll definitely say something wrong"... A little girl says "Cat, miss"... Very good Elizabeth... The teacher once more says "Who tell me a word beginning with the letter D"?... Little Johnny is waving his hands pleading with the teacher to be picked... The teacher is about to tell Johnny to put down his hand when she thinks - I can't think of any swear words beginning with a D... "Ok, Johnny what's your word".... Johnny stands up and says "Dwarf"... The teacher is very impressed and says "Why Johnny, dwarf is a wonderful word- come out to the front of the class and tell everyone what a dwarf is"... Little Johnny runs out to the front, holds his hand out, and says "A wee c*nt that size"...
