Brian Cox
Scottish Actor
My favorite Scottish daddy speaking during the rally The Equity Union held to show its solidarity with the SAG-AFTRA and the striking US actors.
And check out the background.
Fuck no, not Simon Pegg.
I'm talking about Imelda Staunton and Jim Carter.
Now some Dolores Umbridge and Mr. Carson fantasies are popping up. No, not together. But I'm not ruling it out either.

Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1994)
🕵️♂️🐶🐬
This original comedy film stars the one and only Jim Carrey (in his breakout role) as the one and only animal private investigator Ace Ventura. The movie follows the titular character who seeks to find the abducted mascot of the Miami Dolphins football team.
The supporting cast includes: Courteney Cox as chief publicist/love interest Melissa Robinson, Sean Young as Lieutenant Lois Einhorn, rapper Tone Lōc as Ace’s longtime colleague Officer Emilio and Miami Dolphins quarterback Dan Marino as himself.
Of all the characters Jim Carrey has played over the years, his portrayal of Ace Ventura takes the cake! He literally aces his first leading role in regards to extreme physical body language, outrageous manner of speaking and killer catchphrases (“ALRIGHTY THEN!”). Not only is Ace Ventura the master animal tracker, but he’s also a huge animal lover.
The script is brilliantly written in the form of a random comedy sketch-like formula in contrast to a focused narrative. Add Jim Carrey to the mix, we not only receive a thoroughly farcical story, but we get to see Jim Carrey being… well, Jim Carrey.
In terms of observing the erratic behavior of the lead character, he relies on his hyperactive/animalistic tendency to search for clues. This unorthodox method is mocked by the Miami Police Department (with the exception of Melissa Robinson and Officer Emilio) as highly irregular. However, Ace’s so-called pet detective business gives him the opportunity to focus on crimes against animals as well as criminal behavior.
The animals in this film range from household pets to wildlife creatures. The missing animal in particular is a bottlenose dolphin (by the name of Snowflake). In theory, it makes perfect sense to depict the kidnapping and rescue of an aquatic mammal as a way to advertise the importance of animal welfare, especially when it comes to the service and protection of animals in captivity.
The soundtrack contains a collection of some original hard rock/heavy metal songs. The track list includes: “Power of Suggestion” by Steve Stevens, “Hammer Smashed Face” by death metal band Cannibal Corpse (who briefly appear in the movie as themselves) and “Line Up” by Aerosmith. Cover versions of “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” (specifically during the scene where Ace and Melissa make love while the animals in Ace’s apartment watch) and “The Crying Game” are featured. What’s more, an exclusive song titled “Ace Is in the House” is performed by Tone Lōc during the end credits.
Lastly, despite the unpredictable plot, this movie actually draws your attention to Jim Carrey’s wildly exaggerated antics like no other comedy film in history. All in all, I “re-hee-hee-hee-heally” recommend this exceedingly funny ‘90s classic to every Jim Carrey fan/animal lover.

Die absurd schick und mit überdurchschnittlich vielen überdurchschnittlich attraktiven, sehr britischen Schauspielern (und Paul Dano) besetzte BBC-Miniserie War & Peace benimmt sich, wenn gerade Frieden ist, total wie ein Jane-Austen-Film.
