OK, I can accept that Terence Stamp has come a long, long way since I first viewed him on theater screens as an impossibly handsome young star in
Modesty Blaise
,
Billy Budd
and
The Collector
. I know that he long ago aged into being a craggy character actor, most notably in
The Limey
(a film, as I noted in
my 1999 review, that cleverly utilized "flashbacks" from the 1967
Poor Cow
to show Stamp's grizzled avenger as a much younger man). But
this report that Stamp has been cast as a "grumpy pensioner" in an upcoming film is... well, enough to make me feel pretty damn grumpy myself.
Dude is about to turn 73. You are still a young whipper-snapper in comparison!
