A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood (Mister Rogers) (Post-release)

[robn1]

Hmmm....I thought they would delve deeper into Fred Roger’s prior career as a covert assassin whose call sign was “King Friday” and whose code for the successful assassination of enemy combatants was “he’s taking the trolly to the World of Make Believe”.

His joint mission with Capt. Kangaroo is still classified.

Around here at Langley, there are rumors he was working with Chuck Barris and Bozo the Clown.

Was he still wearing his speedo when he did his laps at the pool?

I could lose my clearance if divulged

 

[Apollo]

Understood

What happens in Langley, stays in Langley.

I heard his Pool time was quite the event until they mandated him into wearing the Speedo instead of going au natural like he enjoyed

I could lose my clearance if divulged

Wow this thread is so educational

I guess Tom Hanks got the role because he is known as a Nice Guy. You couldn't have someone playing Mister Rogers if they have some baggage (Mister Spacey) or if they're just... not right (Mister Walken).

Gary Oldman could probably manage it though

 

[robn1]

I would love to see Walken as Mr. Rogers

I was just saying the same thing to my wife! Always found her unsettling. She looks so, so....communicable.

Lady Elaine scared the crap out of me as a child.

When she looks like a cross between Barry Manilow and a coke head, she becomes very communicable lol

You guys are clearly forgetting his Northern Ops with Mr. Dressup.

I'm dying! Code name R.O.G.E.R.S.

The stuff of nightmares...

Yeah, as far as I'm concerned that is the face of pure evil. And I never could figure her out--was she a witch of some kind or something? All that boomerang toomerang zoomerang stuff. Surely in league with the devil......This is someone who could eat the witch in Hansel and Gretel.
BRRRRRR! Sends chills down my spine to this day. I loved when Trolley came around, but that bitch needs to get out of the Land of Make Believe!!

When I was a kid, I decided she was a witch who was trying to be good, with variable success.

She ranks up there with Witchiepoo on H.R. Pufnstuf trying to steal Jimmy's bong....((ahem))..sorry, I mean Freddie the Flute. That's some scary stuff when a witch tries to steal your stash.

This thread reminded me I had only seen 3/4 of the documentary, so i watched the rest last night.
What a guy. That takes real balls to carry on when the whole world just wants to go the other way.
I hope the film does him credit

Looks like this might be a homerun.

 

[Egon Spengler]

I'll fight anyone that says a single bad thing about Mr. Rogers.

We didn't deserve that man.

Funny thing is, the other night I saw Forrest Gump, and I couldn't see Tom Hanks ( if that makes any sense). With this, that's all I see.
