"L. A. Confidential," really. Was he ever young?!? John Lithgow was never young, either.

John Lithgow would be good for one of these. Don't quite know the plan of attack for it yet though... I've got a "Little house On The Prairie" one brewing. Not fan fawning either. There's a dark side.

Lithgow was still in his 30s in "Footloose." Were an actor in a 2024 film to look like that I'd guess they were 55 at the youngest.

The earliest thing I've ever seen Lithgow in was Brian De Palma's "Obsession" from 1976, but I thought that was a ridiculous movie, one of De Palma's silliest Hitchcock rips. I'm not going to recommend it.

You've probably already covered Neil Gaiman, right?
I've never read or seen a single thing of his, I kept putting it off.
I don't know that I can entirely rule out the possibility of that though even if the guy is a creeep creep creep, because I just found out about a month ago that my own personal favorite author had an affair with a 16 year old girl when he was 42, in 1976, and apparently snuck her over the border into Mexico. Ouchie. Well I'm probably not going to stop reading my favorite book because of it (and she doesn't consider herself a victim) and I already knew the guy's marriages were all crap, but it is a little tainted lemme tell ya...

RIP David Lynch. Poor guy, he could barely stand up or walk across the room without losing his breath completely there at the end, and his wife dumped him too. A very sad end for a visionary. At least we got TP season 3.
