Shelley Duvall in The Shining was an iconic role?
Jack Nickolson and the kid were the ones who stole the movie. Besides, wasn’t Shelley nominated for worst actress in that role?
To some of these actors all I have to say is “Really? Really!”, mainly towards Ian, Daisy, and Emma even though she was an Honorable Mention. Although if I had to take part in “The Order Of The Phoenix”, I would quit immediately; I hate Umbridge and I would not have had a dry eye upon the time for Sirius’ death.
“There may not always be a record of these actors trying to quit, but given these scenarios we certainly wouldn’t have blamed them if they had.”

Jackson RUINED the movies and completely insulted the work of Tolkien
Zac Ritner how dare I? You ever read the books? If so then you know he completely botched the movies, INSULTED ARAGORN’s character. Made Pippin into a joke which he wasn’t, he turned Gandalf into a whimpering baby in the Return of the King, which he was not, Gandalf alone stood up to the Witch King of Angmar at the broken gates of Gondor. I’d slap Jackson in the face for what he did to Tolkien’s work. The Hobbit is even worse. It’s disgusting
How dare you insult his movies, he put A LOT of time into those movies. So why are you trashing Peter Jackson for his hard work?
No wonder Stanley Kubrick produces such great movies
This commentator has as much inflection as a NPR Talk Show host. Christ alive.
