Goodbye Ian Holm.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Shame. He had one helluva run, though.

I was truly saddened to hear of the death of Ian Holm, 92. I've seen well over a dozen of his films, but remember him mostly for his portrayals of Bilbo Baggins. Of the cup of life he enjoyed a full measure.

Oh well Joel Schumacher, you directed some duds but you made that great movie "Falling Down" and that is what counts.

I really hope you’re taking the piss. ‘Falling Down’ was crap.

I really like this movie. Like how it was written because most dominant character is that of Michael Douglas and we first sympathize with him, but then it turns out he is the bad guy and Robert Duvall is the hero-protagonist.
