For me, as a younger moviegoer, it was his trench-coated well being inspector in Philip Kaufman’s thrilling 1978 remake of “Invasion of the Physique Snatchers.” The ending of that film stored me awake at night time for the higher a part of per week, giving me loads of time to consider pod individuals, certain, but in addition this actor who had so mesmerized me. Wait … he performed Hawkeye in “M*A*S*H”? There was a “M*A*S*H” film? Who’s this Robert Altman man?

A few years later, I took my daughter to see “The Starvation Video games.” Earlier than the movie began, I informed her to pay explicit consideration to the actor taking part in President Snow. He’s one of many greats. And certainly he was.
I’m Glenn Whipp, columnist for the Los Angeles Instances and host of The Envelope’s Friday publication. What was your introduction to Donald Sutherland? And which of his films will you be rewatching this weekend?
Ewan McGregor wouldn’t shave off any years. That mustache? One other story.
Ewan McGregor is swiping by means of his digicam roll, searching for the image that explains why he won’t ever develop one other mustache — except a job requires it. And even then, he’d in all probability argue that the character ought to be clean-shaven. Dalí with out a mustache? Surreal.
Earlier than our dialog, I had resolved to not ask McGregor something about facial hair. Evidently a lot of the interviews he’s accomplished to advertise his terrific Paramount+ With Showtime restricted collection “A Gentleman in Moscow” have spent an inordinate period of time specializing in the mustache he grew to play Rely Alexander Ilyich Rostov, a Russian nobleman sentenced to accommodate arrest in an opulent resort following the 1917 revolution. Over 4 many years (and eight episodes), the great gentleman learns to let go of formalities and recognize easy pleasures and embrace household.
However he by no means shaves off that rattling mustache.
I spoke with McGregor not too way back from the set of “Flowervale Road,” a film so secret that when he mentions its title, he instantly panics. “Oh, no. I’m frightened that I simply blew the title.” Once I inform him it’s on the market, he’s relieved. He wrapped capturing at 6:30 that morning, and right here he was with me on Zoom, 4½ hours later. “I’m considerably the wrong way up, however it’s all good,” he says.
It was all good. He’s a pleasant hold, and we lined the waterfront — however not “Flowervale Road.”
Once I inform him that each one I learn about “Flowervale Road” is that David Robert Mitchell (“It Follows,” “Below the Silver Lake”) wrote and directed it, and that it’s a thriller, and it could be set within the Eighties and that it might need dinosaurs, he says, smiling:
“Effectively, I’m not at liberty to debate that in any method, so it could possibly be within the ’70s with, you understand, rodents. However it’s nice enjoyable.”
As was the interview.
Emmys 2024: Early predictions (and voting recommendation)
Emmy voting is underway, and for those who’re one of many 24,000 Tv Academy members questioning if there’s nonetheless time to binge-watch all three seasons of “Reservation Canine” to lastly rise up to hurry, the reply is: Sure. However get busy. Ballots are due June 24.
Is there ever sufficient time to observe all the things and be a completely knowledgeable Emmy voter? Most likely not. There are a handful of exhibits I by no means obtained round to viewing, regardless of my greatest intentions. And no, I’m not revealing them as a result of I don’t want your judgment. I didn’t chastise (past a bit silent rebuke to myself) latecomers to “Reservation Canine,” as I don’t assume you may blame anybody for not sampling each one of many greater than 300 collection submitted. Until you didn’t watch “Shōgun.” Then we have to discuss.
One other drawback vexing voters this yr is that there are too many worthy contenders within the restricted collection classes and never sufficient respectable dramas to reward, making balloting equally difficult however for various causes. Comedies? Good. So long as “Reservation Canine” is lastly rewarded. However once more, no judgment. (But.)
I supplied a fast rundown of the 15 fundamental classes in a latest column. Whom did I miss? Perhaps Paul Rudd for “Solely Murders within the Constructing”? That intense dialog he had with a cookie nonetheless lingers in my thoughts.
Revisiting ‘Strange Folks’
I requested earlier which Donald Sutherland film you could be revisiting this weekend. For me, it’s “Strange Folks,” a wrenching portrait of a household torn aside by tragedy. Sutherland’s delicate portrayal of a father caring for his distraught son (Timothy Hutton) whereas starting to query his love for his spouse (Mary Tyler Moore, an impressed casting selection) is tremendously shifting. Once I first noticed the film in 1980, I used to be youthful than Hutton. And now I’m older than Sutherland when he made it. I believe it’ll hit me a bit in a different way.
Thanks, as at all times, for sharing a few of your time with me. I hope you may have a terrific weekend.

Ewan McGregor is swiping by means of his digicam roll, searching for the image that explains why he won’t ever develop one other mustache — except a job requires it. And even then, he’d in all probability argue that the character ought to be clean-shaven. Dalí with out a mustache? Surreal.
Earlier than our dialog, I had resolved to not ask McGregor something about facial hair. Evidently a lot of the interviews he’s accomplished to advertise his terrific Paramount+ With Showtime restricted collection “A Gentleman in Moscow” have spent an inordinate period of time specializing in the mustache he grew to play Rely Alexander Ilyich Rostov, a Russian nobleman sentenced to accommodate arrest in an opulent resort following the 1917 revolution. Over 4 many years (and eight episodes), the great gentleman learns to let go of formalities and recognize easy pleasures and embrace household.
However he by no means shaves off that rattling mustache.
I spoke with McGregor not too way back from the set of “Flowervale Road,” a film so secret that when he mentions its title, he instantly panics. “Oh, no. I’m frightened that I simply blew the title.” Once I inform him it’s on the market, he’s relieved. He wrapped capturing at 6:30 that morning, and right here he was with me on Zoom, 4½ hours later. “I’m considerably the wrong way up, however it’s all good,” he says.
It was all good. He’s a pleasant hold, and we lined the waterfront — however not “Flowervale Road.”
Once I inform him that each one I learn about “Flowervale Road” is that David Robert Mitchell (“It Follows,” “Below the Silver Lake”) wrote and directed it, and that it’s a thriller, and it could be set within the Eighties and that it might need dinosaurs, he says, smiling:
“Effectively, I’m not at liberty to debate that in any method, so it could possibly be within the ’70s with, you understand, rodents. However it’s nice enjoyable.”
As was the interview.
Emmys 2024: Early predictions (and voting recommendation)
Emmy voting is underway, and for those who’re one of many 24,000 Tv Academy members questioning if there’s nonetheless time to binge-watch all three seasons of “Reservation Canine” to lastly rise up to hurry, the reply is: Sure. However get busy. Ballots are due June 24.
Is there ever sufficient time to observe all the things and be a completely knowledgeable Emmy voter? Most likely not. There are a handful of exhibits I by no means obtained round to viewing, regardless of my greatest intentions. And no, I’m not revealing them as a result of I don’t want your judgment. I didn’t chastise (past a bit silent rebuke to myself) latecomers to “Reservation Canine,” as I don’t assume you may blame anybody for not sampling each one of many greater than 300 collection submitted. Until you didn’t watch “Shōgun.” Then we have to discuss.
One other drawback vexing voters this yr is that there are too many worthy contenders within the restricted collection classes and never sufficient respectable dramas to reward, making balloting equally difficult however for various causes. Comedies? Good. So long as “Reservation Canine” is lastly rewarded. However once more, no judgment. (But.)
I supplied a fast rundown of the 15 fundamental classes in a latest column. Whom did I miss? Perhaps Paul Rudd for “Solely Murders within the Constructing”? That intense dialog he had with a cookie nonetheless lingers in my thoughts.
Revisiting ‘Strange Folks’
I requested earlier which Donald Sutherland film you could be revisiting this weekend. For me, it’s “Strange Folks,” a wrenching portrait of a household torn aside by tragedy. Sutherland’s delicate portrayal of a father caring for his distraught son (Timothy Hutton) whereas starting to query his love for his spouse (Mary Tyler Moore, an impressed casting selection) is tremendously shifting. Once I first noticed the film in 1980, I used to be youthful than Hutton. And now I’m older than Sutherland when he made it. I believe it’ll hit me a bit in a different way.
Thanks, as at all times, for sharing a few of your time with me. I hope you may have a terrific weekend.
The place do you begin with Donald Sutherland?
For me, as a younger moviegoer, it was his trench-coated well being inspector in Philip Kaufman’s thrilling 1978 remake of “Invasion of the Physique Snatchers.” The ending of that film stored me awake at night time for the higher a part of per week, giving me loads of time to consider pod individuals, certain, but in addition this actor who had so mesmerized me. Wait … he performed Hawkeye in “M*A*S*H”? There was a “M*A*S*H” film? Who’s this Robert Altman man?

A few years later, I took my daughter to see “The Starvation Video games.” Earlier than the movie began, I informed her to pay explicit consideration to the actor taking part in President Snow. He’s one of many greats. And certainly he was.
