Seth, drain the well. There's a neighbor missing

It is a good thing Ian McKellen followed up his turn in Cold Comfort Farm (1995) with roles as monumentally pop-cultural as Gandalf or Magneto, because otherwise I suspect people would still be accosting him in the street and shouting, "THERE'LL BE NO BUTTER IN HELL!"

. . . Actually, I really hope they still do.

IIRC Edward IV's wife was something of an outsider at court (she was from their former enemies the Lancasters), and she created some resentment by getting her relatives into high positions - this is emphasised in the movie by casting them all as Americans.

I figured that was the casting choice. I just wish they had brought their acting chops with them to the set and not ... whatever other thing that was.
