I feel like while people know who he is, they’re not saying that they have to see that new movie because “Ewan McGregor is in it”.

Out of the blue I’ve randomly been watching more and more of his movies and wondering why that is. The guy is fantastic.

I’m sure there are tons of great movies I missed last year but of the new ones I did see, Beginners pretty much takes the cake for me.

Hal: Well, let’s say that since you were little, you always dreamed of getting a lion. And you wait, and you wait, and you wait, and you wait, but the lion doesn’t come. And along comes a giraffe. You can be alone, or you can be with the giraffe. 
Oliver: I’d wait for the lion. 
Hal: That’s why I worry about you.
