There are a number of Jude Law films I like, but the only actual character of his I can think of that I know I liked is Watson. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 8, 16:22
WWE: Gallows and Anderson leaving WWE after turning down a huge deal. -- nm - Remlik Mar 8, 15:13 9

- Out of anyone, they're 100% guaranteed to go to AEW the moment they can. -- nm - Tim Mar 8, 15:17 6
  - I doubt they go to AEW...I don't think AEW wants them. unless they can get AJ Styles... -- nm - Remlik Mar 8, 15:24 1
    - AEW is going to be tag team-intensive. They'll get an offer for sure. - David Mar 8, 18:28
  - The good brothers have AJ’s ear, so this makes things more interesting. -- nm - David Mar 8, 15:19 3
    - and I read yesterday he's yet to sign his contract. -- nm - Remlik Mar 8, 15:24 2
      - Everything I've seen says he wants to being winding down his career, I wonder if he's asking for a lighter schedule. -- nm - Tim Mar 8, 15:26 1
        
        yeah I think he does. He wants the Orton schedule. -- nm - Remlik Mar 8, 16:27
Help me out. Are most Chinese productions in Mandarin? Hong Kong movies? Taiwan movies? -- nm - Mop Mar 8, 14:48 2

I have seen 1 movie that Jude Law was in. - groiny Mar 8, 14:08 37
- Road to perdition is great, Enemy at the gates as well -- nm - Beaker Mar 8, 18:15
- Don't start with Closer - JD Mar 8, 15:21
- I loved Cold Mountain way before that movie became about Zellweger's weird overacting -- nm - con_carne Mar 8, 14:36
- How is this possible? I feel like you would have accidentally seen something. Or maybe I just think he's been in more movie than he really has. -- nm - sycor Mar 8, 14:34 5
  - I do plan on seeing Grindlewald at some point, so that will be another. -- nm - groiny Mar 8, 14:41
  - you would think, but I went through the list twice. - groiny Mar 8, 14:38 3
    - You didn't see both Sherlock Holmes movies? They were great -- nm - Bacon Mar 8, 14:45 2
      - nope, I honestly do not buy RDJ as Sherlock Holmes, so it kinds was meh on my radar. -- nm - groiny Mar 8, 14:48 1
        
        I'm with you. That franchise was like "well screw that then" from the beginning for me too -- nm - con_carne Mar 8, 14:55
- The only one I've seen is AI. - Strongbad, Astronauts Champion Mar 8, 14:29 4
  - Oh, Gattaca too. -- nm - Strongbad, Astronauts Champion Mar 8, 14:32
  - Spy for me. -- nm - groiny Mar 8, 14:30 2
    - He does play nicely off his persona in that one. -- nm - Dark Callisto Mar 8, 14:31 1
      - yup -- nm - prayformojo Mar 8, 14:32
- I have seen 17. -- nm - Reagen Mar 8, 14:20 10
  - for a few years there he was in about 12 movies a year it seemed like. -- nm - Andie Mar 8, 14:21 9
    - I'm not even exaggerating. I just counted. -- nm - Reagen Mar 8, 14:24 8
      - ha, i just counted and .... 17. -- nm - Andie Mar 8, 14:28 5
        
        22 -- nm - prayformojo Mar 8, 17:37
        
        14 -- nm - mud Mar 8, 17:22
        
        I'm also at 17! seriously. -- nm - kelly Mar 8, 17:18 1
        
        Ditto. nm - Dignan Mar 8, 18:46

        I'm around that number as well, before Capt Marvel. (NM) - Marlowe Mar 8, 14:47
- The Holiday is pretty great. I think you would like The Aviator. and, Enemy at the Gates. -- nm - Andie Mar 8, 14:17 9
  - oh, and Gattaca, -- nm - Andie Mar 8, 14:18 8
    - to be brutally honest, I do not really like him all that much - groiny Mar 8, 14:25 7
      - In Gattaca and in Talented Mr Ripley, not liking him is the point. -- nm - Roger More Mar 8, 14:51
      - I think literally everyone should like Spy. -- nm - David Mar 8, 14:32 5
        
        He’s the weakest part of that. - Will Hunting Mar 8, 14:56
        
        being that is the only movie I have seen him in, and I liked the movie despite not liking him. -- nm - groiny Mar 8, 14:33 3
        
        Did he eat your goldfish? How can you dislike him if you never saw his work? (NM) - Marlowe Mar 8, 14:48 2
        
        I have no reason, I have seen him on award shows and interviews - groiny Mar 8, 14:49 1
        
        He does project something that makes him quite a good choice for roles such as the one in Ripley, for sure. (NM) - Marlowe Mar 8, 14:55
- You should watch those Sherlock Holmes movies. They're not bad. Also Hugo. -- nm - oblique Mar 8, 14:11 1
  - Why would you lie like that??? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Mar 8, 14:24
What is Jude Laws signature role? - Amoxy Mar 8, 13:49 26
- (It might actually be Young Pope) -- nm - Reagen Mar 8, 14:27 3
  - I think you are right. (NM) - Marlowe Mar 8, 14:53
  - I was going to suggest that it *should* be Young Pope, but it didn't make enough of a splash, which is a shame because it's pretty good -- nm - rollo Mar 8, 14:34 1
    - 2nd season coming. -- nm - Remlik Mar 8, 15:14
- he hasn't had it yet. -- nm - peglegpete Mar 8, 14:13 1
  - I would say a movie with a sequel and one in the works would be it. -- nm - groiny Mar 8, 14:14
- It's Sky Captain although I think The Holiday is easily his best work. -- nm - David Mar 8, 14:02 7
  - I remember him most for this and also AI -- nm - Jovian Mar 8, 14:28 4
    - I thought of AI first, but he's not in that enough imo. -- nm - David Mar 8, 14:32 3
      - I thought he was a standout in the relatively forgettable Road to Perdition -- nm - Jovian Mar 8, 14:51 2
        
        I thought he was relatively forgettable in the standout Road to Perdition. -- nm - David, Earth’s Mightiest Hero Mar 8, 15:05 1
        
        haha. thats awesome. -- (edited) - Jovian Mar 8, 15:28
  - Dr Watson? -- nm - groiny Mar 8, 14:03 1
    - He was solid in those two. -- nm - David Mar 8, 14:13
- He was in Mr Ripley, right? -- nm - groiny Mar 8, 14:02
- I usually remember him first from The Talented Mr. Ripley -- nm* - oblique Mar 8, 14:01
- Talented Mr. Ripley (though I like him best in Closer and The Holiday). -- nm - Dark Callisto Mar 8, 14:01 1
  - This is also a good answer because it combines his Apollonian prince persona with his selfish vanity. Those two things are why you’d hire Jude Law. -- nm - Roger More Mar 8, 14:03
- Old Mountain? -- nm - CQ Mar 8, 13:58 1
  - Er Cold -- nm - CQ Mar 8, 13:58
- "Who the fuck is Jude Law?" -- nm - Reagen Mar 8, 13:55
- He doesn't have one. -- nm - The Wardog Mar 8, 13:54 3
  - *GASP!* Will his obituary call him a "character actor"? -- nm - Mop Mar 8, 13:55 2
    - "Murdered by Chris Rock, 2005" -- nm - Roger More Mar 8, 13:58
    - Or..."That guy". Oh look, it's That Guy again. What else did we see him in? nm -- nm - The Wardog Mar 8, 13:55
- Gattaca -- nm - Roger More Mar 8, 13:53
DOOOOOOM! -- (link) - oblique Mar 8, 13:37
This is like something out of a Coen Brothers movie. -- (link) - Reagen Mar 8, 13:13 11
- whatever fine they get, they should double it for that mustache. -- nm - groiny Mar 8, 14:05
- "If you don't make eye contact, they can't arrest you." -- nm - Mop Mar 8, 13:49
- So being generous, it is roughly 2600 miles from Maine to Mexico. A '67 Skylark gets roughly 14 mpg. So they'd need to have 185 gallons of gasoline -- (edited) - oblique Mar 8, 13:34 5
  - Also, gas in Canada is considerably more expensive than in the US, but might seem cheaper to these morons since it's in litres rather than gallons. -- nm - Mop Mar 8, 13:49 1
    - I guarantee that was the "thought" process. -- nm - Reagen Mar 8, 13:52
  - These two are apparently semi-famous in the area, having previously gone "missing", but were just hanging out in the bush. -- nm - Reagen Mar 8, 13:47
  - based on the 21 jugs line, I'm guessing they had 105 gal - Reagen Mar 8, 13:45 1
    - are 'jugs' a standard size? I have two gas cans for the yard stuff, they are 1.5 and 2.25 gallons, I can't see 21 5 gallon canisters fitting in a car -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 8, 15:00
- On a scale of 1 to 10, how high were they? - Beryllium Mar 8, 13:28 2
  - 2. - Marlowe Mar 8, 14:58
  - I so wanted their names to be Bob and Doug -- nm - CQ Mar 8, 13:29
Starting in 2021 many countries (Canada and US included) will need an ETIAS to enter Europe. -- (link) - Andie Mar 8, 13:06 2
- How do I go about obtaining one of these documents? -- nm - Mop Mar 8, 13:51 1
  - it looks like a version of what Australia already uses - a coworker did that recently, and it said it could take some time but was actually - b. Mar 8, 15:35
"I don't know if I trust Kipling ... but I believe the horse head." -- nm - Beryllium Mar 8, 13:06
Tin Star having a sheriff of an Alberta mountain town is stupidity I can't get past. It's like having someone go to the UK and run around as the - Reagen Mar 8, 12:56 1
- Yeah, there were some outrageous flaws in the fundamental concept. -- nm - Mop Mar 8, 13:38
DHD update: $160M Captain Marvel OW -- (link) - budice Mar 8, 12:50 2
