Thanks from Larry Holden

[LarryHolden]

Hello. I just registered because I just wanted to say thanks to those of you who have written me (via imdb.com, I guess) the past couple of days saying you enjoyed the movie, etc. Chris Nolan and the gang are the ones to truly thank, of course, as I just played a very small part; but I'm honored and blown away that any of you would take the time to actually get in touch, and I thought this would be the most efficient way to reach everybody. Again, thank you so much. Sincerely, Larry Holden

[Zilleraut #66]

Job well done guys and thanks to all of you from a long time Batman fan. Also it is so very cool of you to post.

Agreed.

[Binker]

Finch? On SHH! with us? Wheres Bale, or even Nolan? We like to have a chat with them.

[logan_weapon_x]

Isn't Finch dead? :(

[DorkyFresh]

I hate to say it but I didn't recognize Larry Holden in Batman Begins...I know he was Finch, but who's Finch in the movie?

[Lazlo Panaflex]

I thought Finch was that guy from American Pie.

[zer00]

Isn't Finch dead? :(

poor little finchy:(

[Paradoxium]

Carl Finch, the guy who was the head DA. Also who Rachel works for.

job well done mate, loved you in memento, could you confirm to us if the film was cut down in places and will Chris Nolan plan to release a DC version of the film on dvd?

[Motown Marvel]

HOLDEN DAMMIT!

thanks, man. sorry, i can't really talk about that stuff. warner bros. would have my butt. and nolan seems to get pleasure from hurting me on film... so i don't want to end up decapitated in whatever we work on next, know what i mean? anyways, thanks. much appreciated. you can always stay in touch - anybody - by writing me at larry@holdenautomotive.com. i get a truckload of mail for some reason, but i try hard to stay on top of it. goota run... but this sure is a cool site. all the best, larry (carlton finch, d.a. of gotham... well, i used to be, anyway)

i know, i know... the big boys would be better, right? sorry.... best, larry holden.

[DrMylesOBoogie]

Everyone involved in this movie should be very proud of their work. Thanks for posting Larry and you can tell Chris that he's made alot of Batman fans very happy. I'm very protective of my favourite fictional character and would voice my disgust if he was misrepresented but that certainly isn't the case with this film.

Ok, cool but from that comment i would take that as a YES because if nothing was cut for the big screen then you could of said a simple NO , it shows that Nolan and WB is hiding something and also your death screen was pretty quick and seemed like it was cut.
Are you planning to do any signing conventions in the U.K any time soon?

[Mack]

Finch is here?! Finch is here!!!

I thought you were pretty good in the small role you had, will you appear in the sequel as somebody else(obviously)? Kind of like Bruce Campbell appears in all of Sam Raimi's movies?

[Dark Knight]

Good job Larry! Thanks for posting in here also! The movie is getting great reviews.....glad you were a part of it. You were cool as Finch until......BAM!

sorry, can't say anything. promise. not planning to do anything in the uk, sorry. if so, i will surely put the word out... to all three people that might be interested. ha. thanks. larry holden.

[Paradoxium]

You and Nolan should get a cameo in the sequel as inmates at Arkham, then you two could get into some kind of fight. You can get even with him :D

I heard you got injured from the fight sequence or scuffle with Guy Pearce (Memento). Method acting or something? :D

[LarryHolden]

I hope so. Chris has been so good to me so far... I'll keep my fingers crossed. and i look nothing like Finch, usually, so... Well, anyway, I hope so. Thanks. Larry Holden. (larry@holdenautomotive.com)

[Batman2005]

not the real larry holden.

[bbb]

IMO Next time you see Chris tell him to drop Goyer bring in his brother in for the screenplay, drop Zimmer and Howard and bring in David Julyan (http://imdb.com/name/nm0432382/) for the score, they all seemed to work perfectly together in Nolan's past movies and i think it would the right decision to bring them back for the sequel if Nolan decides to return.

I would love that! He's ten years younger than me... I think I can take him. Ha. Memento... yeah, got a little banged up (lost skin up and down the back of my legs from being dragged down the stairs take after take, but at least I got my butt whipped by a good Guy. The damage on Insomnia was minimal, just a little blood from falling on the rocks after I got shot. I always try and guilt Chris and his wife Emma about my injuries, so they keep hiring me... Ha. All the best, Larry. (larry@holdenautomotive.com)

[LarryHolden]

Give me your phone number and I'll call... and then you can quiz me a bit. Trying to do a cool thing here, don't be so cynical. But I understand. LH.

[bbb]

Will do. Best, Larry Holden.

cheers , i hope chris is one of those directors who actually like to hear the fans opinons, out of interest do you keep in touch with Guy Pearce and has he seen batman begins yet, if so what are his opinons on it?

[Paradoxium]

A guy that gets a bit of fan support for the sequel is the writer Andrew Kevin Walker. Not sure if you seen it, but his most prominient film is Se7en (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114369/). If you ever get a chance to talk to Nolan, tell him about this tidbit.

I used to bump into Guy from time to time, but haven't seen him or talked to him in a few years. One helluva guy. Best, Larry Holden.

Hmmm... will try and check it out. Thanks. Larry Holden.

[bbb]

are you allowed to give us your overall opinion on Batman begins?

[LarryHolden]

are you allowed to give us your overall opinion on Batman begins?

Sure... but I haven't seen it yet, believe it or not. And I had to miss the LA premiere, as well as the rest, because of prior commitments (but I'm really uncomfortable with all that stuff anyway, just ask my wife, who got dragged down the red carpet at the Insomnia because I was rushing inside). But I will say this - it's Chris Nolan, producer Emma Thomas, dp Wally Phister, pd Nathan Crowley and one helluva cast, so how could it not be amazing? Know what I mean? But I hope to see it very soon, hopefully this weekend. Did you like it? Best, Larry Holden.

[DDRSkata]

Wow. Larry Holden is here. God, remember when we were all speculating that he'd be Dent or Gordon? Haha, the good old days.

Anyway, do you have any other films lined up now that Begins is out of the way?

[DA Harvey Dent]

Enjoyed your work in all three movies Larry. Hope to see more in the future.

[Shedhut]

Well I liked it alot but I felt there was too much to tell in 2:30 so the pacing was too fast in some segments. Thats why everybody's asking for a directors cut. Cool to post here and hey if you want to call me to prove its you...it would be nice to chat with an actor from Begins ...just jokin.:D

[Bat Brain]

Ah, Larry. An Irishman like myself.

What would you think of Guy Pearce taking over your job as Gotham City DA aka Harvey Dent?

BTW, it's really cool of you to do this. Try and persuade a few of your co-stars or maybe your director to give us a visit.

[The Batman]

Finch!!! It's a shame you met your untimely demise...wouldve loved to see you and dent faceoff...

[bbb]

Did you like it? Best, Larry Holden.

i did, but not as good as expected, it felt scenes were heavily cut in places as the pacing of scenes didn't seem to flow well unlike Nolan's previous films, the score was good but seemed to be used a lot with the dialogue which felt annoying at times, fights scenes were a bit dodgy as you couldn't tell who was hitting who and the last 20 mins of the film felt rushed to me but from saying that the cast was excellent including yourself and bale is the best batman to date, just was hoping for a more gritter batman movie overall in the style of memento.

[The Only Woj]

it was good to see you in the film, Mr. Holden. maybe in Batman 2 they'll let you shoot someone in the back ;)

[Joker!]

Howdy Larry.

A shame you'll miss The Joker in the next one.He'll put a smile on your face whether you want it or not ;)

[LarryHolden]

Wow. Larry Holden is here. God, remember when we were all speculating that he'd be Dent or Gordon? Haha, the good old days.

Anyway, do you have any other films lined up now that Begins is out of the way?

Right now I'm focusing on finishing my own films, which are in post right now, but Batman Begins seems to have a lot of filmmakers getting in touch, especially indie guys who want to use me to raise funds, which is always cool (the low budget ones are incredibly fun to do, believe it or not). So, yeah, it seems like I'll be busy soon. And regarding Dent or Gordon, I'm sure everybody was pulling for other guys, and who can blame them. Chris and Emma asked if I wanted to be Finch, and I said hell yeah. I was never even considered for anything else, as far as I know - but, again, I'm sure everybody's over the moon with the cast Chris assembled. Well, I hope so, anyway. Best, Larry Holden (larry@holdenautomotive.com)

[bbb]

Surely you must have a part in The Exec

[LarryHolden]

Howdy Larry.

A shame you'll miss The Joker in the next one.He'll put a smile on your face whether you want it or not ;)

Yeah, I know... but I'm growing long hair and a beard just in case Chris wants to sneak me in there somewhere. Best, Larry Holden (larry@holdenautomotive.com)

[LarryHolden]

Surely you must have a part in The Exec

Thanks... but who knows, right? I'm just grateful Chris has used me as much as he has. Seriously. But man... sure, I hope so. I always have a blast with those guys. Best, Larry Holden. (larry@holdenautomotive.com)

[LarryHolden]

That would be heaven... to be on the other side of a gun in a Nolan film for once... Ha. Best, Larry Holden

Larry Holden, here? God, I love the internet. (No questions, I just wanted to post that it's great you came here to talk to fans. :up: )

I'll tell you... it IS amazing. I just returned home from the theatre (almost 3 AM here)... you did a great job, as all the people involved. I can only thank you guys for making such a wonderful movie, so I hope you get to do more and more like this. Thumbs up...:up:

sorry to hear that. hang in there a bit, and then watch it again, maybe. they still got the right director, though, don't you think? Best, Larry Holden

Speculation was, for about two days, that you were Dent or Gordon, then we found out you were Finch and started speculating about that.

Speculation is what we do here. :D

And being a filmmaker myself, I know the low-budget stuff is fun. Not that I know yet how fun big budget is, but still.

[DDRSkata]

Even if you don't have that, they could always sneak you in in a flashback when introducing Dent.

[Alonsovich]

That's music to my ears. Thanks. How did the audience like it? Don't answer that - yet - get some rest first, and then let me know. Best, Larry Holden. (larry@holdenautomotive.com)

[Paradoxium]

You could always suggest to Nolan (in the event of a sequel) that you can play the role of Merkel. Sure it is small, but it has a place in the Bat mythos. He is a cop who works at the GPD with Gordon.

[Flexo]

Big clapping at the end... and the theatre was full at a midnight showing...:up:

Really? My theater only had about 20 people in it. Of course, I live in a smaller sized town...

[LarryHolden]

Even if you don't have that, they could always sneak you in in a flashback when introducing Dent.

Thanks! That would be sweet. Best, Larry.

[Binker]

Will Nolan and/or Bale come here? At least we'll have a trio of stars from the film talking to us.

Have you talk

[Batman2005]

I'll call if you want me to...
...but I understand why you wouldn't believe it was me. I'm actually surprised myself I'm doing this. But it seemed the cool thing to do. Anyway, if you want, give me your number and I'll call. Best, Larry Holden.

hi larryholden, thanks for the private message you sent offering to call me, but that is unneccessary as I don't have any questions to ask..

if you could take a camera phone pic or digital pic of yourself holding a piece of paper saying "To all the batman begins fans on SHH!" that would be way better.

Best,

Have you talked to Nolan or Bale or even Goyer after the film was released? If so, what do they think of the reaction?

[LarryHolden]

Goodnight, all. This has been a very cool experience. Have to say goodnight, as the wife is calling dinner time, and reminding me it's Friday night. Ha. But I'll try and check in when I can down the road. But feel free to write me at: larry@holdenautomotive.com. Again, thanks for all the kidn words. I don't deserve them, but I'll take them. Chris and the gang are the real heroes / stars. Best always, Larry Holden (Finch)

[Flexo]

Batman2005, why are you having such a hard time believing a celebrity would visit the SHH boards? We've had some famous people stop by before.

[DorkyFresh]

Carl Finch, the guy who was the head DA. Also who Rachel works for.
Ohhhhh!!! Okay...I knew he looked familiar! Dang, Mr. Holden...you sure are a chameleon! When I saw you in Insomnia, I didn't know that was you were the same guy who was killed at the end of Memento. That's a compliment! Keep up the great work and best of luck with your career.

[LarryHolden]

I'll tell them to, but who knows? They're all around the world right now, spreading the word. But, no, I haven't spoken to those guys yet. They would probably yell at me for not seeing the film yet, and for blowing off the premieres. Best, Larry Holden.

[Bat Brain]

Thanks Mr. Holden. :)

[DDRSkata]

Batman2005, why are you having such a hard time believing a celebrity would visit the SHH boards? We've had some famous people stop by before.

But man, thanks for the kidn words, seriously. That word chameleon is an actor loves to hear - even though it does cost me in some ways. Always has. Thanks so much. Best, Larry Holden.

[Flexo]

Yeah. Let's see...I know MSJ stopped by a few times throughout Daredevil's production and release...who else?

The guy that wrote the Constantine novelization, and I've heard it told Guillermo Del Toro reads the Hellboy section.

You're so welcome. Stay in touch. Best, Larry Holden.

Batman2005, why are you having such a hard time believing a celebrity would visit the SHH boards? We've had some famous people stop by before.

i think it's so cool that you all accept he's the real deal simply based on the fact that his username is larryholden. i guess i'm just bitter and jaded.. it all stems from the time JackNicholson conned me into sending him my laptop to sign.. turns out it wasn't really jack nicholson at all! i never did get my laptop back :(

a pic of larry holden holding a piece of paper saying "to all those at shh!" or something would have been so awesome.. guess it won't happen... it is a tall order, i suppose.. as opposed to him calling me.

sorry larryholden, it's nothing personal, but as a general rule i don't give out my email address. the last time i did that StevenSpielberg2000 added me to spam lists. and now that i think about it, i don't think it was really steven spielberg at all!

Okay, this I know. Only three people have ever seen Katie Holmes naked - Tom Cruise, Larry Holden, and me. If you are the real Larry Holden, tell me what discernable feature is on Katie's chest.

Woah, thanks a lot, Mr. Holden....I'm not just trying to kiss your @$$ either. I mean it when I say I didn't know you were the same guy in all 3 movies. The fact that someone had to tell me who you played in Batman just shows that...hehe. I had to look up your name on IMDB.com to find out that you played Jimmy Grants and the cop from Insomnia.

Well...I'm glad you're brave enough to come onto the SHH boards where fans like to tear apart anyone claiming to be anyone famous.

yay larry holden's gonna post a pic of himself. bring a little faith back into my disenfranchised heart.

PS: Gary Oldman is numero uno

it's coming. one of you guys just wrote me and i emailed a shot that the wife just took. gotta roll now, though, sorry. all the best, always, larry.

[LarryHolden]

Okay, this I know. Only three people have ever seen Katie Holmes naked - Tom Cruise, Larry Holden, and me. If you are the real Larry Holden, tell me what discernable feature is on Katie's chest.

aw, come on, man, i gotta get going... katie's a sweetie, but i'm a married man, and she was engaged to chris klein at the time anyway. please don't me regret coming here, okay? keep it clean and cool. she's good people. best, larry.

[GothicPowerMix1]

I still don't know who this guy is

[LarryHolden]

sorry larryholden, it's nothing personal, but as a general rule i don't give out my email address. the last time i did that StevenSpielberg2000 added me to spam lists. and now that i think about it, i don't think it was really steven spielberg at all!

no, it's cool. i understand, trust me. no worries. best, larry.

[adamonkey]

A true gentleman. He IS Larry Holden.

Now if we could only get Bruce Campbell here...

[DorkyFresh]

I still don't know who this guy is
BIG SPOILERS!!!


He's Rachel's boss in Batman Begins. The guy who checks out the shipments and ends up getting tranquilized in the back. He also played the cop who gets shot by Robin Williams during the fog scene in Insomnia and the guy who gets killed near the end of Memento.

But what's he done for us lately?

[Batman2005]

not tranq'd. shot! not sure for certain, but i do think he was killed.. why would they let him survive?

[The Batman]

you know, I've seen some comments i find disrespectful here.

I believe this is the real deal. No offense to holden, but why would someone try to pose as him, when they can easily pose as chris nolan or something like that?

I have a question though. Is it true that you denied being in this movie and said that "99% of what's on the internet isnt true"? someone said that you said that. In fact, i think it was Rocky Batboa, so its probably a lie.

Thanks.

[BatMatt]

Finch is dead, sadly

[DorkyFresh]

not tranq'd. shot! not sure for certain, but i do think he was killed.. why would they let him survive?
well...that's the thought i got from watching the film, but i could very well be wrong. i don't remember anyone besides both ra's al ghuls and bruce's parents actually being killed in the film. it's not rated R where everyone and their mom gets killed......but like i said, i COULD be wrong. Rachel DOES say her boss is missing which means she should start looking at the bottom of the river.

[Robin91939]

Hey Larry, i thought that you were great in the movie.....but couldnt you have mentioned Dent? Did you shoot anything like that, but then not put it in the movie?

Any answers.

neil is sending proof now (i hope). i just sent him 2 photo's. hope that helps ease everybody's mind. and yeah, i guess i did say some stuff like that awhile back, but my deal wasn't in place, and plus, the whole thing was so secretive. meaning, until i got to london, i didn't want to say anything i wasn't supposed to, know what i mean? anyways, it's me. but now i really have to go. this has been pretty fun, though. i'll try and stop back soon. best, LH

[Batman2005]

i agree this has been amusing for me as well. best topic of the year.

no, seriously, it wasn't in the script. promise. and thanks for the kind words. best, LH

[The Batman]

Thanks....

[LarryHolden]

oh, one last thing: there is some ebay seller that is selling signed posters from batman begins - i did not sign them. she forged my name, and has apologized. but the rest of the names are probably forged, too. her ebay store is autographfanatics or something. on ebay australia. a fan there in oz wrote me and told me. do not but either of thoise posters she has. bye! LH.

[Batman2005]

larry are there any genuine items on ebay that you have signed?

[batsone]

thanks for the heads up, and thanks for posting in these forums :up: :up: GREAT FKIN movie by the way

[The Kid]

No, sir. THANK YOU! and all the other cast members. THANK YOU!!!!!! You guys were all GREAT! :cool:

[SingItWithMeNow]

Yeah, fantastic movie Larry. I especially like the support cast. I'm a bit of a Colin McFarlane fan after seeing him in an appearance on The Bill. Gerard Murphy and Mark Boone Jr. were good too, didn't like like that guy who plays that annoying district attourney though. MAN did he stink. I especially didn't like his lack of cowboy hat. ;)

[No.6]

Wow, I can't believe your actually posting here! Atleast I hope its really you. (please don't take that the wrong way, just the skeptic in me).

Anyways I absolutely loved Batman Begins, one of my all time favorite films. You were right on as Finch, very well done performance :)

If your answering some questions on here too, I was wondering if you have ever read any of the Batman graphic novels or had much experience with the Bat character? And when you finally see Batman Begins would you mind coming back here and telling us what you thought?

Oh, one last thing, if you wouldn't mind bugging Nolan to come back and direct the sequal that'd be cool too :D

[DorkyFresh]

Oh, one last thing, if you wouldn't mind bugging Nolan to come back and direct the sequal that'd be cool too :D
I TOTALLY agree with that statement...

[Highlander1]

Was Larry Holden the cop in Insomnia with the moustache and in the same precinct of Hillary Swank? or was he the one that got shot by Pacino in the beginning?

[DorkyFresh]

He was the cop with a mustache who got shot in the leg (or foot...i forget) by Robin Williams' character, but he survives.

[The Only Woj]

Wow. Larry Holden is the man (especially for sticking around despite the "non believer" comments and taking the time to answer the ton of questions that we seem to be throwing at him).

[Batman2005]

I'm one of the few here that can claim larry holden offered to call me, but i turned him down.

[The Only Woj]

Guy Pierce comes to the rescue and proves, once and for all, that it IS Larry Holden:

[LarryHolden]

larry are there any genuine items on ebay that you have signed?

no, i don't think so. not sure. but most likely not. i signed a few things in london, but they were for the extras in the courtroom scene with joe chill. but if you ever want anything, feel free to let me know. goodnight. LH

[C. Lee]

Enjoyed you work mister Holden. Glad to see you here.

hey, sorry for the late post. and sorry it'll be short, but i have to hit the sack. first, i sent one of you guys a few photo's to show that i am indeed me, as silly as that sounds.. secondly, yeah, i tried to bone up on batman, as best i could. i was in norway prepping for a film i was supposed to direct there, but i did as much as i could. and i must admit this - i still own the original album from the adam west series. i was a huge fan as a very young kid. that show scared the hell out of me. i never thought him and robin would make it to the next episode. seriously. i meant to give it to chris nolan as a gift, but it's in storage in nyc. i plan on having it sent to me soon. and yes, i will try and check back in when i see it. but you can always reach me at: larry@holdenautomotive.com.

[LarryHolden]

Enjoyed you work mister Holden. Glad to see you here.
Thanks much. Seriously. I appreciate it. But I wonder why the guy I emailed pictures to hasn't posted them here yet - that was hours ago. Anyway, glad you guys enjoyed my stopping by. Man, I really got to get some sleep now, though. Best always, Larry Holden.

[bbb]

hey larry what was it like working with robin williams and al pacino?

[StevieNicks1988]

LH, thanks for being a part of this great Batman movie, you were really good it in for the while you were in it. When your final scene came up, I felt for ya man. Really, I did. lol But anyways, I'm taking all my friends to go see it between now and the next couple weeks. Next time you talk to Nolan or anybody that worked on the movie, thank them for me and pretty much everybody for finally making THE Batman movie I've been waiting my whole 17 years of life for. :joker: Can't wait for B2, hope Nolan returns. And I hope you get a cameo in B2! I'd love to see you in it again. ;)

SN.

[LarryHolden]

You could send them to me....I'm a moderator at this site, so some consider me trustworthy.

C. Lee. Hey, I'm still up, but wanted to ask you to let everybody know that I was notified yesterday by a fan in Australia that somebody was selling Batman Begins posters will signatures from the entire cast basically. And since that fan knew my signature from Memento stuff I had scribble across for her a few years back, she knew that was not my signature. And she was right. I can't speak for any other members of the cast, but my name is forged. But sure, if you ask me, I bet all of them are forged. She has a nice little racket going it seems. So, here's one of this sellers Ebay auctions (1 of 2 Batman Begins posters as of today). Tell everybody with a different thread maybe - I hate seeing people get ripped off from scavengers like this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7523596764&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1

That's all one address.

Okay, well, that's my good deed for the night. Ha. Thanks, man.

Larry Holden

[DorkyFresh]

Mr. Holden...if you send me the pictures, I'd be more than glad to post them up for you. I'll be up for another 15 to 30 minutes or so. My e-mail is dorkyfresh@yahoo.com.

[BurtonBat]

You know batman2005... you really do sound like an ass. I mean I understand skepticism and of course you can express it but at least be civil. It's not entirely impossible that this is Larry Holden and from what I see here it is him, in the absence of proof that does not give you the right to behave like a dick.

[Boss]

Oh Mr. Holden. Why couldnt Chris changed your characters name to "Harvey Dent"..;)

[Riven]

Wow, this is cool. The real Larry Holden on our site! :)


Just wanted to say I really enjoyed your appearance in Begins and your roles in Insomnia and Memento... Sorry to say I've not seen you in anything else though. Hope that will change soon!

I had such a tough time convincing my friends after seeing Begins that you were "that actor" who always works with Nolan... They just wouldn't believe me when I said DA Finch was the same guy as "Al Pacino's partner" and the "Jimmy G" character in Memento. :D I think I got through to them in the end though.

Well, anyway, if you catch up with anyone from the Begins cast or crew, tell them they did the greatest imaginable job (yourself as well, of course) and that I really hope they get to make at least another one like it that's just as good.

All the best from Belgium!

[comicman]

Its nice that your willing to pop onto the boards and talk to the fans. Much appreciated. You gave a good performance in your role as the DA.

I for one was extremely happy with the movie, and would love to see Chris come back and carry on the series. He shall forever be known as the man that saved us from bat nipples and neon lights :D

Oh my god. Total ownage!!!!! :D

[spanish39]

Is that you Bratbrain or Holden?

[Kirk Langstrom]

3 cheers for Larry Holden!!

[Spider-Dean]

very cool, i have a hugh respect for that guy. he didnt have to come and answer questions but he did.

seems like a tru pro.

when i was watching batman Begins a few hours ago i never thought id come home and the the Gotham DA would be on superhero hype. so surreal so cool

[McGourgh]

Thanks Larry, you´re a real nice guy and good actor. Thanks for taking the time and visit us here. :up:

[spanish39]

Well if that IS Holden, your hair gets long quick man damn. Also, great job. Hope they don't screw you over too bad in the sequel with Two-Face towards the end or something, whatever the hell is supposed to happen. Hope you get a clean send off if you get one at all, maybe they will let you stcik around and help Dawes......if she is still around. Oh well, whatever happenes best of luck with your next project and hope too see you again on screen in Batman or anything else. Great job in the film though, you fit in well.

[baronghede]

Best thread ever.

[Obsidian]

Yeah, this is pretty cool. He seems like a down to earth guy.

[Milkman95]

Thanks Larry - you did a great job in all your films, I've pretty much seen them all. Also, Batman Begins is one hell of a film, and it's getting so much positive word of mouth up here in Michigan it isn't even funny........

Thanks for stopping by and being so genuine...........

[Bat Brain]

Is that you Bratbrain or Holden?
It's Holden. Compare that photo with his IMDB pic

THANKS FOR YOUR LETTER, AND ALL THE KIND WORDS. AND TRUST ME, I UNDERSTAND EVERYBODY'S SKEPTICISM. HOPEFULLY THE GUYS I'VE SENT PICS TO WILL POST THEM SOON, AND EVERYBODY CAN SEE MY OLD MUG AND RELAX. ALRIGHT, HAVE TO RUN, LOTS OF EMAILS, ETC, TO TRY AND ANSWER BEFORE MY DAY STARTS. MY BEST TO BELGIUM ( I LOVE THE FILMS BY THE DARDENNE - SPELLING? - BROTHERS THERE: ROSETTA, LA PROMESSE, THE SON - HAVEN'T SEEN THEIR LATEST, THOUGH), AND MY BEST TO YOU. LARRY HOLDEN

[LarryHolden]

hey larry what was it like working with robin williams and al pacino?

Hey, like your handle (bbb), but I can't tell you why (has to do with a childhood nickname I had). Al Pacino actually became a friend, even though I ahven't had contact with him in awhile. After Insomnia, when we were all back in LA, he invited my wife and I to watch a film he directed called Chinese Coffee, because he knows I direct, too. He's an amazing man, and an amazing artist. He still cares so much after all these years. Incredible. I was honored to work with him. Bummer is, we had a much longer hospital scene in that movie, but it had to be trimmed. Robin I met years before when a friend of mine, Danny Baldwin of the Baldwin clan, was on a show called Homicide. I flew into Baltimore to hang with him, and met Robin back than. And I tell ya, that guy can do it all. Seriously. I watched him joke and kid around with Danny and I - and then they would say, Robin, we need another take, and instantly, he would get up on the witness stand (his wife had been nurdered on the show or something), and would just come apart. Each and every time - and in between takes, he was... Well, he was Robin Williams - manic and funny as hell. Another amazing man. But during Insomnia, we never even met, believe it or not, because our schedules were so different (a stunt double was used in the fog scene when I got shot with Al). Hope that answers your question. Thanks again. Best, Larry Holden.

:up: :batman:

Thanks, man. But hell, I look like crap. Sorry everybody. My wife told me to take that damn hat off and take a shower, but I didn't figure anybody would care. And as far as my "directing hat" goes, I put it on so people could check the pic with what they have at imdb.com. Plus, my hair is out of control right now (and it was dirty!). But I'm getting old boys, and it's showing. Thanks for the kind wishes. I'm growing my hair out long and have started to grow a beard (for a movie I'm supposed to do late this year), so maybe Chris will be able to sneak me in the next Batman (if he does it) as some sort of thug or psycho, etc. Ha. Have a great weekend. Best, Larry.

[LarryHolden]

hey Larry whats next for you ????

Hey. Well, a lot of indie guys are getting in touch, because I am one of the few actors who people can actually reach without dealing with my agents (my email address is right there at imdb.com). And the erason i do that is because I know what it's like to to both low budget films and extremely low budget flicks (which agents hate for us to do! matter of fact, my agent begged me to turn down Memento... because it was "only" a 4.5 budgeted film, if you can believe that. And that is NOT low budget in my opinion. 4,5 thousand is. Anyway, so a lot of scripts are coming in. I signed on to do one late this year (dates unknown) in Delaware (tentative location). Other than that, I've been editing all the films I've directed, so I can send them to fests this year and next. I have five waiting. But if anybody has something they would like me to do, just get in touch, and let me know. In some places my name means something ($), in other places it means a cold bowl of soup. But I'm always open to reading scripts and hooking up with fellow filmmakers. Hope I answered your question. Stay in touch. Best, Larry Holden.

[JTIZZLEVILLE]

Larry, I just want to thank you so much for just dropping in here and talking to us fans. You don't know how much it means to me for someone involved with Batman Begins to recognize the fans and how much we have looked forward to this movie.

I loved the movie and I'm sure you can confirm how lucky we are to have Nolan directing and the amazing cast we had acting in this movie.

Thanks again from a true fan.

He sure like his stetsons :D

Yeah... I don't know about my hat. Bought it in Arizona or somewhere back in 2000, before I shot my first film, because I was driving to a little rural town in Maryland called Bel Air - and I thought it might help me blend in with the locals. It didn't. But it did keep the sun off me, and kept my scraggle hair out of my eyes. But I'm not a cowboy, trust me. Just don't know how to dress myself! Ask my wife. I went to the Memento premiere wearing a shirt from the seventies that had an image of Ireland and the words: Brits Get Out! to tease Chris Nolan, and the press almost attacked me. My wife just said, I told you so. She's an ex-model and a fashion designer now. And I embarrass her almost everywhere we go. Trust me. Anyway, felt like I should let you guys know that I'm not f'ing Garth Brooks or somebody. Ha. Best, Larry Holden. ps: I have to say, this has been fun, chatting with you guys.

[DarkKnightYone]

Good Stuff Larry!!
Pass this on to the rest of the crew (if you see them):

The film is amazing! All of us have begged to see this version and it's finally here.
As you can see, there's nothing but praise in the air for BB. I have seen it 3 times already and a 4th showing is not far from my radar.
BTW, you did excellent as DA Finch!! Hopefully Nolan can assign you a thug role next to Zsazs (Booth) in the next flick.
Cheers.

[LarryHolden]

Man, thanks so much. Appreciate it. I always think I suck. Michigan... TEd Nugent and Bob Seger country to me. Never been there. Do you live near that Ambassador Bridge? One of my best friends, actor Josh Charles, did a movie with Stevie Baldwin and Jason Gedrick there called Crossing The Bridge. Make a movie there and hire me! I'd love to see where the Motor City Madman (Nugent) calls home (even though I haven't been a fan since I was eighteen, and he's out of control these days with his whole Republican b'sh't. Ha. Thanks again for the kind words. (Man, you guys a re gerat for the ego!). Best, Larry Holden.

I will, promise, when they get back from their little "world tour" promiting the movie. Thanks so much. I didn't play a big role, but I tried to make him kind of a big wimp, really, trying to pose a bit to snag Katie's (Rachel's) attention. You know, the insecurity thing. I'm surprised you guys even remember the character to tell you the truth. But I haven't even seen the film yet. The wife says, "Today, dammit." But we'll see. Best always, Larry ps: And trust me, I hope Chris hires me again, too! I always tell him I'm his lucky charm... so if I'm not in whatever he does next, and it blows, you'll knwo why. Ha. Big ha. Nolan does not need me or anybody else. There's no stopping that guy. I knew it back in 99 on Memento (even though I thought NOBODY would ever see that film.) He's got it all. He's "together," as they say. But feel free to start the hire "Golden Holden" (which is what him and the gang all jokingly call me) campaign. Ha.

[LarryHolden]

Yeah, this is pretty cool. He seems like a down to earth guy.

I have to say although Finch isn't in it alot, it was kinda one of the scenes that made me go "This is an adult Batman". By that I mean the way 'his exit' is played out. There were no theatrics or anything, just "god damn".

[LarryHolden]

sorry for all the typo's, guys, i'm not a good typer and i'm trying to both answer both my private emails and stay on here. i'm not dyslexic (spelling? ha), i'm just sloppy and only use two fingers. pathetic, i know. ha. LH

Thanks. Chris wrote that scene so he could have his jollies hurting me, i guess. he smiled all day, and said, "You know why I'm smiling Golden Holden? 'Cause I get to injure you again." Something like that. Anyway, I'm glad you dug it. But thank, Chris. I was only following orders, earning my keep, as they say. Best, LH

I have to say although Finch isn't in it alot, it was kinda one of the scenes that made me go "This is an adult Batman". By that I mean the way 'his exit' is played out. There were no theatrics or anything, just "god damn".

Exactly my feelings.

[Shedhut]

Youre the man Larry! I wish you the best in your directing career. So many people waste so much money on soooooo unuseful films. Im looking forward to see some work with your trademark:)

Wow. Thanks. I hope you end up liking them, but they are very very different films, trust me. Far from being action oriented, etc. Most would prbably find them boring as hell. Stay in touch, and I'll let you know how you can eventually snag a copy. NEtflix and Block bister and others have been trying to get my first film, My Father's House, but I have to sort out some legal things first (with some of my unknown but pain the butt actors, one or two of them, anyway). Most people have no idea that Cameron Diaz is in it, because we don't advertise that. She has a cameo in it. (we're old friends, and we just wanted to hang out and goof off a bit one day, so she was sweet enough to fly in from LA). You can check out some of the pics at holdenautomoive.com, although that damn site is going to be revamped soon. looks like crap now, especially that picture section. I just suck at that stuff, and have friends help me from time to time. Anyway, thanks so much. Way cool of you. Best, LH

sorry for all the typo's, guys, i'm not a good typer and i'm trying to both answer both my private emails and stay on here. i'm not dyslexic (spelling? ha), i'm just sloppy and only use two fingers. pathetic, i know. ha. LHIt's no big deal. You make mistakes just like everyone else. I know that you have a busy schedule, but if there is any way that you can keep us updated on your up coming projects please do so. I'm pretty sure that you've made a ton of fans right here by posting and being so down to earth. I for one will never forget it and I would also like to thank you again for taking some time for us.

My pleasure, trust me. You can always check in at my site, www.holdenautomotive.com. It says I'm in Amsterdam now, because I have a few stalkers who have been scaring us to death. So we try and keep them fooled. Guess they know that now, too, probably, but I haven't said where we are, at least. Ha. Again, thanks. Everybody here has been so cool to me. Appreciate it.

I acctually dig alot of non-action-orientated movies which many people would consider boring. I just made my comment above because I'd love to shoot films by myself (just bought a super8) and I'm often dissapointed and sad when I see people who have the opportunity to create something and waste alot of money for crap (especially in Hollywood). Looking forward to seeing your films if its possible (I guess you had the opportunity to learn from the best:p ) .

[bbb]

cool, never knew you had an interest in filmmaking and video editing, i've just recently made 2 short films, directed and edited them both but they arn't anything special, i'm still learning but i'll try and upload them to the net for you to check them out, in process of writing another short but would like to do a music video to a song i recorded at college first, would love to check out MY FATHER'S HOUSE :)


BTW any forum members know a good site to upload video files to the net?

[Shedhut]

"What a gift! What a joy! Just when the cinematic landscape feels like a vast, boring desert of sameness, along comes a triumph of low budget brilliance like Larry Holden's "My Father's House" -- a beautiful, delicate study of men's lives and relationships. The film was so good I could hardly believe it. I held my breath as I watched it, waiting for a false note, a weak line delivery, or a sentimental moment. But there was none. Holden probes his central characters' emotions without a single misstep. Watch carefully because this film is as subtle as our most interesting interactions in life. Holden understands that with men in particular, everything or almost everything emotional is hidden under the surface, between the lines, in the depths -- and the miracle (and this film is miraculous) is that he finds a way to take us down there into the emotional depths of his characters' lives to help us to see what is going on inside them. The succession of scenes may at first seem random or haphazard, but shot by shot Holden wonderfully weaves the strands together to tell the story of a life. One of the truest, subtlest, best films I've seen in years." If you havent paid the man to write that, I absolutely have to see that film:joker:

Great! Congrats! Get them to me. Would love to see them. Send them to my agent, though, okay? Because I have some crazy stalers out there these days, or else I would have you send them to where I'm at these days. But yeah, send them! Thanks. LH

Thanks, but I'm just learning, too. It never stops. But I have always tried to ignore the "rules" when it comes to my won films. Not that I re-invent the wheel or anything, but I make them to please me - because so many times as an actor you have to do stuff you hate to pay the bills (or, for me, to pay for my films). Esspecially most of the Hollywood stuff. But I no longer blame Hollywood. I blame audiences for paying to see crap. The suits and ties want to make money, and that's all. So if people stop going to see crap, they will stop making it. Simple as that. John Cassavetes once said, They would make a movie about all the studio heads get executed if they thought people would pay to see it. And he was right. Anyway, send your address to me at : larry@holdenautomotive.com, and I'll send you a copy. But know that I'm not a big fan of that first film. I like it, don't love it, and it took me two years to even say that. But Paige Moss is great in it (Buff The Vampire Slayer), and Howard Keel, too (who died recently), and Cameron Diaz (cameo), and Josh Charles (deleted scene on dvd), and my nephew, Ryan is great (he had never acted before)...and Robert David Hall from CSI. You might just like it, who knows? But please be gentle with your review. Ha. Best, Larry Holden.

[LarryHolden]

yeah, somebody just posed it somewhere on this thread. look forward to getting it all! thanks. LH

[Kirk Langstrom]

Man, thanks so much. Appreciate it. I always think I suck. Michigan... TEd Nugent and Bob Seger country to me. Never been there. Do you live near that Ambassador Bridge? One of my best friends, actor Josh Charles, did a movie with Stevie Baldwin and Jason Gedrick there called Crossing The Bridge. Make a movie there and hire me! I'd love to see where the Motor City Madman (Nugent) calls home (even though I haven't been a fan since I was eighteen, and he's out of control these days with his whole Republican b'sh't. Ha. Thanks again for the kind words. (Man, you guys a re gerat for the ego!). Best, Larry Holden.

Hey Larry, I live across the border from Detroit, in Windsor, Ontario, Canada, and I can see the Ambassador Bridge from my window! The Super Bowl is in Detroit next January...come visit!!

Damn! Great! Just have a film or somehting for me to do while I'm there, so I don't have to listen to my agents *****, and I'll come, seriously. Why not? It would be crazy, but cool, I think. And I love to travel. And that is one of the last states I have to visit. Thanks! Stay in touch. Best, LH

larryholden, like i said, a phonecall wouldn't have been as much use since i had no questions to ask you. the pics are way better, and despite the flaming directed at me (pure entertainment), I'm simply chuffed that I nagged you into posting that pic. so respect for the pic.

did u ever get a chance to chill out w/ gary oldman? is he as smooth as he is on screen?

[LarryHolden]

Alright, everybody. Thanks for waking me up this morning. Have to do a few things (I'm off from my new film for a few days. I'm the boss, I can do that. Ha.) with the missus, namely spend time with her! And she's trying to get me to fight the crowds and see the film with a real audience. So... maybe today. Will let you know. And I'll try to check in later. Thanks again. You folks surely warmed up my heart. And I mean that. Very cool site with loads of cool people on it. It's been fun. Until then, best, LH.

[Shedhut]

Anyway, send your address to me at : larry@holdenautomotive.com, and I'll send you a copy.

I'll do it. Thanks alot. Hollywood needs more actors like you.

[spanish39]

Hey Larry, I have a question.

I have this story, not so much script, that I'm working on. I havent even really started it yet cause I know it would work better as a film than a book. Problem is a book is easier to have published than a film is to have made. I have specific actors I think of when I do think of the characters and how they would help the characters evolve, or become more of what I have in mind. I know if I were to sell a script that the actors I have in mind would not all be involved, maybe a few, but it would be hard./ There not even all A-list so to speak but thats how it goes I guess. Anyway...

...what I'm getting at is this. I haven't started writing and it's all in my head when I'm bored or smoking a cigerette or going to sleep. I know it's good and I keep coming up with more and more and changing things I originally thought of. David Goyer said just start writing it andI told him I have a begining and an end but in between is kind of random ideas. He said just have an outline and go from there.

Should I even start wasting my free time by writing this story/script that I know may not ever go anywhere as far as getting to the public or work and pay my bills and try and just keep a balnced life hanging out instead?I believe in this story very much and it's very different from the rest of the crap thats out in hollywood, oh, it has absolutly nothing to do with comics in any way at all either. It's more reality based and it deals with different kinds of relationships between people ann how things never go right in life and you deal with it anyway and the things that do are never the things you ask for and so on...I just feel it would be such a waste to dive into something so time consuming to have nothing come of it. How hard is it to shop a script or a book? I don't even know how to write in proper script form.

What do you suggest as a regular guy who is into indi film making and an actor as well, from all sides?

[LarryHolden]

Wow... sounds like a story I would love. I really have to run soon (the wife ran out to do an errand, and I promised her I would be ready when she got back. If you saw her, you would know why I try to listen. Ha), but let me say this: My sound man was interviewed last year and asked about working with me, and he said one of the nicest things about me ever in my opinion, God bless him - he basically said that I was like a blues or jazz director, and so he felt honored. And then he went on to explain that. He said that there is no real pay off for me financially, and that I only do it for the love of telling my stories on film, etc. So, that's my advice. F#@k selling it. Make it, buddy. Keep control and make it with barbie and ken dolls if you have to. But keep it, and own it. It's never easy selling things to those money hungry jerks in Hollywood. And unless it has dollar signs all over it, they will not care. It sounds like a great idea, an important one in these times. So keep pushing, finish it. And screw the typical way to write scripts. None of that matters. Actors should respond to the story, that's all, not how it's displayed and in what format. And plus, believe it or not, most people write production scripts, not author scripts. Meaning, leave out all camera stuff, like an author would, not a production guy por gal, and just tell the story as simply as possible. Ig you do feel the need to, though, try and find this book by Rick Schmidt (spelling?) called Formatting your Screenplay, which will explain it all very simply. Don't base it on what other people are doing. You ought to see my scripts! They look like outlines, really. Ex. "John looks at Bill and says something about how much he dug the new Batman movie. But Bill just shakes his head and says, Are you serious? I thought that Holden guy wrecked the whole film!" Ha. But keep it simple. But never give up. The world is full of quitters, quitters of their own dreams, people that just settle for paying bills and watching football on Sunday - if the wife and the kids will let him! Ha. Don't ever settle. Think "big," or end up "small." Theres a great Van Morrison song that says, For the healing, go back to the dreaming. And he's right. Whenever you're down about crap, think about your film, and sit down and chop some wood. can't wait to see it. Write a role for me! Ha. Best, Larry Holden.

no worries. it was funny. gary oldman... well, no offense to the rest of the gang... but i was so bummed him and i didn't get a chance to hang out. hell, i never even got a chance to meet him. we had different schedules. cillian and i, along with richard brake (a cool cat who played joe chill) were all acting like kids at the thought of being in a film with one of the masters. like, "can you believe it? we're in a film with oldman...! alright, gotta roll. best to you, buddy, and don't let them razz ya too much. it's all good. best, larry.

[spanish39]

Thank you Larry......thank you, I will do more with my story and just see where it leads me. I'm sure I can think of something for you, I still need a hard cop who has his own share of problems and has to deal with a new partner as well as his boss in his face all the time while still dealing to figure out whats going on with what my story involves. Very minor character, infact police play a very miniscule part of the story, but cops are always watching what people do so it only makes sense to have them involved one way or another. I only add what is absolutly vital to the story telling to make the story evolve and progress. I would need to see more of your work and how you are to judge just how you would help this character evolve from just a basic one. I have a pretty good ideaso far now from Insomnia and Batman and your personality via message boards but I'll see what I can do, you seem like a pretty good guy and I'm kind of caught up in thought on this particular character anyway as to who he is and what he does though he is the most important of the 3 cops I need.

Im rambling now, anyway, I qppreciate your words of motivation Larry.
I'll just add a little as I go along even if takes a couple of years lol.

Thanks for everything bro.

[Shedhut]

So, that's my advice. F#@k selling it. Make it, buddy. Keep control and make it with barbie and ken dolls if you have to.

Thats my advice as well. You shouldn't do it for the money anyway. If you love to make a film do it for you and your friends. Dont think of actors who could play this or that role. Think of people you know who'd participate instead. I also wrote a screenplay and I wrote all the characters inspired by people I know. Furthermore I wrote the whole script regarding the fact that I have not much money to put in the film. Anything else would end in dissapointment.

hey Batman2005 ,

did u really send a laptop to some guy posing as jack nicholson? :joker:

You're welcome, my friend. Good luck with it. We'll see where I am when you're ready, but keep in mind that I used to plat extreme psycho's / croks / rapists before Hollywood saw me as a "nice guy" the last few years, and that I am going back to that "look" to try that route again for awhile. so i may look like charles manson by then. ha. but i guess i could always be an undercover cop, like the ones who busted me for a drunken street fight i was a part of in chicago back in 85! (i'm a bears fan and flew in to see them the year they won the superbowl) ha. okay, wife's home, going to see BB, i guess! best, larry.

[Shedhut]

Have a nice time at your personal premier. I can imagine the whole crowd being unaware of who's watching the movie with em. Good to be a chamaeleon,huh?:joker:

[Artos]

Mr. Holden. It's been really great being able to read your responses. I enjoyed you in Batman, and will definately pay a closer look the next time I see it.

Anyways, I was wondering if you would like to read over a script for a film I'm working on this summer (nothing, big, heck I'm still in high school) but yeah, it's just a 20 page word doc. So if you'd be interested I'll send it over. I would really be interested in know what you think and any comments you have. Thanks a lot!

[Michael Corleone]

I have to say this is true class. That you would take the time to post on here. It's nice to see someone take the time to do this. Especially coming into these forums considering we can all be a little critical on these films. But everyone involved with this film truely hit one out of the ballpark. Certainly one cool cat yourself. Thanks again.

[Neeson = Ras]

Mr. Holden, do you think you could put in a good word for Tim Roth to play The Joker in further sequels to Mr. Nolan. :D

[The Only Woj]

Mr. Holden, do you think you could put in a good word for Tim Roth to play The Joker in further sequels to Mr. Nolan. :D

that's if Nolan will even be directing it ... remember, Singer did a GREAT job with Xmen, and Fox screwed him over because they wanted the movie too soon ... hopefully, if Nolan is interested, they don't pressure him out with schedules or casting "movie stars" ... forcing certain casting decisions.

[Detective Flass]

I agree, Mr. Holden could you mention to Nolan/Goyer/WB to consider Academy Award Nominee Tim Roth to be casted in the role of the Joker. He is one of the major fan favorties on these forums. :D

[Clerk]

Haha, I remember when everyone thought Holden was going to be Dent and the Finch character was a cover up.

no. only how rough i might look, as i haven't seen it yet. meaning, i was dealing with the death of my best friend while making the movie (he was killed in iraq), and i was in a real bad way. but as one of you recently told me, it helped me look like a man worn down by the town, the corruption, etc. so, that's about it. just my vanity. ha. no, seriously, i jst wanted it to be well received, that's all. did you like it?

[adamonkey]

Larry, since it's really you, a few questions please:

1) Have you ever shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die?

2) When's the last time you cried?

3) Batman Begins is to the awesomeness as Rush is to ________.

4) Is it true that in Hollywood friends are only enemies who don't have the guts to kill you?

5) If you could have any superpower, what would it be? Invisibility, right?

6) What do you think of that batman begins review on readmag.com?

7) Describe yourself in a 17-syllable haiku.

Thanks!!

Hey Larry, I havnt read the rest of this thread, so I dont know if you already touched on this so if you have you can just skip over this. Some guy came on the Hype a few years back claiming his wife was friends with yours or something of that matter. He was talking about how you were getting the part and what not of Finch (this was the first time anyone heard about the Finch character). It was funny because no one believed him. His posts weren't too frequent, they were like a report of such. One day he came on saying you found out he was telling us about your part and he said he was "dead meat" and we never heard from him again. Was this guy for real or just some nut?

[LarryHolden]

I have to say this is true class. That you would take the time to post on here. It's nice to see someone take the time to do this. Especially coming into these forums considering we can all be a little critical on these films. But everyone involved with this film truely hit one out of the ballpark. Certainly one cool cat yourself. Thanks again.

damn, al, you're here, too? ha. yeah, i was a bit nervous as to what the response was gonna, especially when a few folks started questioning if i was really who i am, etc. but everybody's been so cool. it's been a real treat. honestly. i'm speaking with the chairmen and women of the board. without you guys, we don't work. so, thanks. back at ya. all the best, LH

[vibeke_T]

no. only how rough i might look, as i haven't seen it yet. meaning, i was dealing with the death of my best friend while making the movie (he was killed in iraq), and i was in a real bad way. but as one of you recently told me, it helped me look like a man worn down by the town, the corruption, etc. so, that's about it. just my vanity. ha. no, seriously, i jst wanted it to be well received, that's all. did you like it? LH

I absolutely loved it! I felt like a kid at Christmas it was amazing.

And I'm sorry about your friend

[Angry Sentinel]

You do realize the only reason I was questioning you was because you seem too nice to be a Hollywood actor.

Good job, on that, good to know there are some real people left in that town!

EDIT

And sorry to hear of your loss, we learn to heal, but we should always keep the scars.

[Detective Flass]

Hey Larry! Did Batman-On-Film.com actually have an impact on some of the casting in Batman Begins?

[Detective Flass]

Sorry about your loss. :(

[LarryHolden]

Larry, since it's really you, a few questions please:

1) Have you ever shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die?

2) When's the last time you cried?

3) Batman Begins is to the awesomeness as Rush is to ________.

4) Is it true that in Hollywood friends are only enemies who don't have the guts to kill you?

5) If you could have any superpower, what would it be? Invisibility, right?

6) What do you think of that batman begins review on readmag.com?

7) Describe yourself in a 17-syllable haiku.

Thanks!!

1. Yeah, and he was wearing black. But I made him my b#$ch first. Ha.
2. A few days ago. My best friend was killed in Iraq, and sometimes it gets the best of me still. Be two years on 30 July.
3. Hmmm... not sure how to answer that one... But hey, listen Neil Peart (spelling?) and Geddy Lee... and I forgot the other guy. Wow. Like I told you last night, I used to listen to Farewell To Kings every day when I was a kid. Even wrote a letter to Rolling Stone complaining about their lack of exposure for the group. Then, because I felt like I wanted to REALLY hear what these maniacs were doing, I started smoking pot so I could get in between the instruments, if that makes any sense. And if you have ever been stoned, it will. Ha.
4. Ha. Pretty damn good, that. I would say that is pretty much true, 90% of the time. yeah.
5. Man, I just don't want to die. I hope God just keeps me alive. So, immortality. Ponce De Leon (spelling) kind of action. And hell yeah, I would love to be invisible!
6. Haven't read it. Sorry.
7. Man, you're something else. Good stuff. Thanks.

Wow. I wouldn't know that, really. Sorry. LH

[Detective Flass]

Eh, it's no problem.

I'm just happy to have someone in the film to be on the boards. :D

[The Only Woj]

oh. sorry. never seen those. LH

dont worry, you're certainly not missing anything

Thanks. Much appreciated. And I don't mind the questioning. Most folks in that town are jerks or jerkettes. Thanks. LH

thanks so much. seriously. best, LH

he's an ex-employee of mine. tries to use my alias all the time. mac sledge. which is robert duvall's name in tender mercies. i'm not going to say his real name, because that would only make him happy, but he was fired for using my computer in my office without permission (he was snooping). and other things. an ungrateful punk. i did hear he was ragging on me or something, but that's . we used to be tight, but he got weird and wasn't happy being behind the scenes. or something like that. screw him. if he shows up again here, somebody let me know. thanks. LH

[Alonsovich]

I have a little question. What kind of director is Chris Nolan? The kind of director that says to the actors how to say the lines or the kind of director that leaves them improvise?

[Detective Flass]

What was it like to work everyday of filming with the likes of Morgan Freeman, Liam Neeson, Michael Cain, and all the other talented actors?

And many people on the boards have said in real life that Christian Bale, how can I put it nicely.....can be an ******* sometimes. Is it true?

[LarryHolden]

Alright all, I'm off to the movie. I will try and check in tomorrow, though, and maybe send somebody a pic (if people are still wondering if it's really me). But I've been on this computer long enough the last two days to last a lifetime. ha. my two finger tyoing is taking it's toll. hope everybody has a great day, and stay in touch, whether or not i'm back soon or not. and thank you all so much. this has been a blast. thanks. best always, larry holden.

[raybia]

Larry, I was wondering how long have you know Christopher Nolan? I know you were born in Belfast so it seems there is a big UK connection with people he chooses to work with? I think its time for Nolan to use you in a starring role.

[adamonkey]

Thanks LH! Followup question, if I may - where did you get such beautiful, expressive blue-gray eyes?

And followup to that - so how 'bout them Mets...

[Artos]

thanks! absolutely. my agent's address is somewhere on this thread. find it and send it. my pleasure. just be patient with me, okay, as i get a fair amount of stuff to look at. especially this past month because of BB. but hell yeah, send it on. best, LH

Thank you very much. I'll send it out as soon as I can. Do you have some tips or ideas for someone who's trying to 'break into the business' or whatever? I'm hoping to become a director one day with some rather good (I hope) ideas and just my own idea of how to make a good movie. Is there any advice you can offer? Much appriciated. Thanks again!

[Detective Flass]

Thanks Mr. Holden! :D
