Why didn't you like Dancer in The Dark, Minna? I'm just curious. I think it was a great movie, very dark and sad but I loved it. I think David Morse is one of the most underrated actors in Hollywood and he did a fantastic role in this movie. The weak man in a friendly disguise... it was so chilling! Peter was great too, the lovelorn man waiting to be loved in return.
One of the most hilarious scenes in the movie is the scene where the boy got a bike for birthday present and is learning to ride it. David Morse and Peter are standing side by side, watching the boy and suddenly Peter says: "Women and rust are the same." David turns to him, astonished, and asks "What?!". Peter says again: "Women and rust are the same. My father used to say that. I never knew what he ment." And they both burst into laughter and turn away from the camera. It is soooooo funny and it gives me a warm feeling. I wondered if David and Peter became friends during the shoot.
Some facts about the life and times of Ernst Röhm - there might be some minor spoilers, so who wants to avoid them at all costs, might want to skip the following:
Ernst Röhm was one of the oldest leaders Hitler had by his side, he took command of the SA in 1921. He did have some disagreements with Hitler and when Röhm in one speech declared that SA is the true army of National Sozialism they became hostile to each other. A list was made in great secrecy of the leaders who should be executed, Röhm was among them. Röhm was surprised in a hotel in Bad Weissee, with two other senior SA officers, when they were in bed with their boyfriends. They wre arrested and send to Stadelsheim prison. Röhm was offered the traditional pistol but he refused to accept it. Röhm was shot in his cell, protesting his loyalty to the last.

LOL I hated and loved the movie. I loved Peter in it, and admired David Morse, and Björk was just fabulous, but the movie... it was tormenting. I had tears in my eyes on the rail-road scene and cried my heart out when Jeff was meeting Selma in the prison... A few weeks later I decided to see the movie again, thinking it would be easier, but I was crying my heart out already on the railroad... Lars von Trier seems to want to torment people - Breaking the Waves made me feel even more bad and after hearing about the rape-scene in Dogville I decided I had seen enough of Trier.
I loved the bike-scene too, I really would like to know what Peter's father had meant with that sentence... it's from him, vT said that in the document on the making of the film.
Oh and have you seen Peter in "Windtalkers"? You can wind over everything else in that one but do watch Peter... lol his rugged outlook... eh Cheryl? :o)

yeah, i have dancer in the dark, i really enjoyed it.
i had seen one of von triers films prior, so kind of knew what to expect.

Hmmm... let me think.... ehhh...
OH YEAH!!! :D :D :D Mmmmmmmm!!
Nothing could be finer than Peter Stormare all rugged... swoon! I don't mean to go on in a kind of "lustful" way here, but you started it, Minna! Seriously though, I quite prefer him all unshaven and dirty, as opposed to neat and tidy.
Still haven't seen "Dancer in the Dark" yet, but with the way I've been lately, I may need to skip that for awhile. I actually found myself crying at the cartoon "Futurama" tonight! And it's a comedy! Yeah, you are right about winding past most of the film "Windtalkers." First off, the scenes of the film didn't really match what the story was supposed to be about. The worst part is, they didn't use our Peter nearly enough. What are they thinking??? :)

Oh rumours tell that in Grimm Peter will be BALD with LONG MOUSTACHE!!!!! :D)))))))
But really, in Windtalkers, like in almost every movie, they really should have used him more. In "Mercury Rising" his part was over in a blink of an eye and even our Swede-hating criticists were angry for such waste! But in Minority Report his ...... hmmm..... entrée made his short part absolutely unforgettable!!! I still feel sick when I remember it... LOL

Rugged? Hmmm, yeah... oh yeah! It would be kind of interesting to see him bald, though. I can't imagine it right now, but it might as well suit him. Remember how gorgeous Jason Isaacs looked in Black Hawk Down, totally bald!? Some guys actually look better bald than with hair.
Dancer In The Dark is a sad and heavy movie to watch, but it is brilliant still. I bawled my eyes out when Selma got the eyeglasses of her son in her hand... ***bwaaaaaa*** It was heartbreaking!
Peter is seriously underused in Hollywood and even when he is appearing in some movie he is hidden in some minuscule role. What a waste. I wish the producers would discover him, I mean discover in a big way!!
