Ironically, the last thing I saw PP in was as the bedridden patriarch in Inception. While I hate when people dish out superlatives like "best" at the drop of a hat, Postlethwaite was always one actor whom I especially enjoyed.
So long Pete, and thanks for all the fish.

He'll always be Kobayashi to me, but man, that ridiculous accent.

That's part of the reason why I love him in the part. His Kobayashi is completely outrageous (the name, the accent, his lines ("I may only castrate your nephew, Mr MacManus.")), but he plays it completely deadpan. Works brilliantly for the film, since it's a perfect example of Keyser Soze seeing how far he can go with his crazy tale with the cops still buying it.

Damn, just watched Distant Voices, Still Lives the other day and was reminded of how great an actor he is, or as is the case now, was.. :( He could do so much with even the smallest of parts (case in point: his recent role in The Town where his character goes from enigmatic to truly menacing in the space of one scene) and I'm going to miss seeing his funny, boney face popping up in supporting roles.

Someone at school once said I looked like him. I still don't see it, but I always enjoyed him on screen. Shame to have gone so soon. :(
Also Gerry Rafferty :(

Fingernail: denialist or guy who doesn't look as bad as people say he does.
Seriously that guy had elephantiasis of several facial features.

It’s all hitting me now. This is really happening. All this awful funeral stuff. The will, we have to get the will. I don’t know if enough time has passed. I don’t know what I’m saying. Is it in your car, Barry? I’m going to throw up! Check the car, Barry. I don’t know what I’m saying!
