Re: RIP Bob Hoskins
In my view, his best role was as a gangster in The Long Good Friday, one of the better British gangster films ever made. He's lower class but he's trying to become a respected businessman, but it all falls apart on him and he doesn't handle it very well. Helen Mirren played his wife.

Re: RIP Bob Hoskins
Sometimes someone has posted a R.I.P. about someone who shares a name with a more famous person and the initial reaction is the better-known person has died.
This one was the opposite for me as my first thought was the 49ers player from the 1970s.
The actor Bob Hoskins I remember from Mona Lisa as well.

Re: RIP Bob Hoskins
As somebody already mentioned on Golden-Road.net, Hoskins also starred in that Notorious Turkey, Super Mario Bros. Hoskins' profanity-laced comments about that movie were more fondly remembered than the actual movie.

The worst thing I ever did? Super Mario Brothers. It was a [expletive] nightmare. The whole experience was a nightmare. It had a husband-and-wife team directing, whose arrogance had been mistaken for talent. After so many weeks their own agent told them to get off the set! [expletive] nightmare. [expletive] idiots.

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Re: RIP Bob Hoskins
He was always my choice to play Horace Slughorn in the Harry Potter movies. Would have been more appropriate than Jim Broadbent, although they'd already ruined the series as far as I was concerned.
Of course, my dream, i.e. impossible, choice for the role was Leo McKern. When I re-read the books, I always hear McKern's voice for that character.

I just ordered chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.
