#JamesSpader #RebeccaDeMornay
He has an uncanny knack of making you listen as intensely as he speaks. You really don't want to miss a word.
Brilliant statement --- and spot-on correct.
Helped enormously by a lack of a laughter soundtrack and “mood” music.
pardon me, I'm parched...
“It feels like a listening experience” I love the delicious self satisfaction.
Ghod, she was GORGEOUS!
A role like Alan Shore could go so terribly but James Spader elevates it to another level. If someone else played Alan Shore, there is the potential for him to be uncouth, vulgar and honestly make a persons skin crawl. But James Spader plays him with such finesse and grace. Alan Shore is a Magnificent Bastard to the highest degree.
Your description of him, as a "Magnificent bastard",. is dead on. Good call.
@@andrestamayo6509 The "bad guy" you want on your side.
Imagine Joe Pesce or Chris Evans playing this role. It would be sooooo different.
Perfectly said.
As in glorious bastards?!?
LMAO!! There is no other as demented and brilliant as Mr. Spader!
Thanks for the upload! When this series ended, I cried for two days. Best (Dramedy) EVER. I need to ditch my vhs-taped copies & buy this on DVD! 💗
Did watch boston legal after?
It’s on Hulu now. Along with Boston Legal.
@@werebetryin That's of little comfort to people around the world with no access to Hulu.
You are emotionally unstable !!!
It’s acting !!!
You didn’t hear me complain when Cornel Kurtz bit it !!!
It’s acting !!!
Get a grip !!!
it continues as boston legal please watch
Holy. Shit. That was god tier.
Boy, the last minute would NOT fly in 2020
The key word in any case of harassment is "unwanted".
Not ever. It's a tv show, certainly well-acted. But this sort of thing has zero place in the workplace.
@@DrownedInExile She did bring 2 bottles of beer. . . . .
@@DrownedInExile Only if they don't clean up after.
God damn, I miss Alan Shore.
This is why I'd be a terrible actor, I'd have to keep myself from losing my bearing while delivering those lines.
You face off with James Spader at your peril, no matter what role he's playing. Just be glad you're not facing off with Red, because you could get shot.
Freaking genius!
All hail the king of sas...no one comes close to this sassy actor.
That’s Raymond Reddington
Great to see Rebecca De Mornay. Could've done with Clive Warren.
Who the fuck's Clive Warren?
She was in movies with kiefer. I had no idea about James 😂
Nothing is more unsettling and simultaneously arousing to a woman than a man who plants his feet and doesn't flinch. 😏
@6:30 If Rebecca Demornay were Uchiha, Amerterasu would be shooting out of both eyes...right here
This is what is known as Brute Competence.
One of my favorite parts of this sequence is how Rebecca De Mornay gradually starts to recognize his genius.
She's still hot
One of my favorite parts of this sequence is how hot Rebecca De Mornay is
@@ziraprod6090 Seconded.
James is one of a kind. I watch The Blacklist for him alone.
What amazing work in a short time. Alan Shore and Raymond Redington are just magnificent characters because of him.
I started watching the blacklist for him but it's just so bad I couldn't continue. And I've lasted 2.5 seasons
@@oferpardes6517 Yeah, Meghan Boone and everyone else was a HUGE disappointment.
The writing as well. Lots of redundant plot lines. The directing of the actors was poor. There are many scenes, and I mean many, that the parts betweens the scenes seem more interesting than the scenes themselves. I love James Spader immensely but I'm afraid it felt like a huge waste of time so I stopped @@curtisbryce5096
James Spader gets so much power out of that measured, calm, even voice. He's truly one of the greatest living actors. But let's not forget, he's given great roles and great dialog by great writers who deserve full recognition, too.
Nicely said! Where can I subscribe to your newsletter?
He has also had subpar movies with poor writing but he made the character memorable
Yes he’s had great parts written for him. But very few actors in all of history history could do as well with the same script. It’s like putting an average person in a formula 1, they would black out trying to do 50% of what the professionals do.
this sitcome was a build up for him to go on Boston leagal!!!! if you didnt know that!!!
Rebecca de Mornay was never fully appreciated for the absolutely gorgeous woman she still is. I wish she'd gotten far more work.
Chloe deckers mother ❤
@@jeffescantoAlso, Trish Walkers' mother in Jessica Jones.
That movie with Clive Warren ruined her career.
And Finch's mother in American Reunion
James Spader was god in this role.
James Spader is god in any role.
@@Sarasdad91 Absolutely!
Here and Boston Legal
I have never loved a character as intensely as I do Alan Shore.
I watch these videos time to time to become assertive.
I like how James Spader speaks. There's no elitist British accent yet his pronunciation and eloquence is so profound.
His eyes are more than half of his magic. It's so good! Watch him at 510-5.30 ish. It's so intimidating, but i can't look away! Spader is a phemon.
The British accent is elitist?
@@noahbrown6970 yeah being from the place I didn't need an essay about it, I was asking a question based on what someone else said if you've a problem talk to them about it.
@@noahbrown6970 Next time I'll put it quotes so I don't get a fucking essay about it
It's 18th century Boston
James Spader nails the ability to swap between goofy absent mindedness and nail biting seriousness. Truly a great actor.
Kinda just does that one character - but nobody can do "smug" like Spader. Always entertaining. (maybe he's a victim of typecasting?)
She says he won't last 2 weeks. He just kept his client out of jail. She did nothing useful, when he offers to let her take over, she lasts less than 10 seconds before he has to take over again. She says he doesn't understand authority, yet he meets with two people with authority and they do exactly what he wants. She calls him arrogant but she is the one insulting someone who outclassed her every time. As for being corrupt, where is her evidence? She gets angry at his reference to her disciplining him, but she made that threat. She didn't carry it though and didn't apologize for it. She's weakness and she's angry that he sees it.
The absolute power move at 3:42 of stopping mid sentence to drink water... Wow.
Alan Shore is one of the best written characters in television and Spader pulls it off.
Alan Shore AND Raymond Reddington. James Spader plays both characters brilliantly 😀
He wanted to pull something else off too…
Here we can see Alan Shore starting to shine but still an uncompleted work.
When you put Alan Shore opposite Denny Crane, that's when you get amazingly written scenes.
No one can compare to James Spader, he is the undisputed champion of acting.
Except for Kevin Spacey, he has no match in acting!
LOL Watch more films.
OMG, heck yes!
Good acting but bullshit narrative.
yeah.. have you hear about someone named Cliven Warren?
From the Preppy mean-guy of his Brat-Pack days, to nerdy Daniel Jackson in the Stargate movie- to Alan Shore & Raymond Reddington.... There will never be another actor like James Spader.
What the actual fuck. I never realised the original Daniel Jackson was spader
Don’t gorget ultron
You can obviously see him becoming Reddington at 5:37 .. that voice that makes goosebumps crawl on your spine
It's more Reddington becoming Alan Shore
@@mansanhg I want to see Alan go against Agent Smith from The Matrix. . . .
@@bobroberts2371 hell id like to see James spader play Agent smith because i seriously believe hes the only man who could out act weaving on that role
@@MegaMerlin5 Smith is more sinister where as Alan is more of a word smith. ( no pun intended ) Kind of like a black hat against a white hat / Spy Vs Spy kind of thing.
And DeMornays curls my toes, tingles my ears and spine and raises, umm, er, interst in certain area.
Spader's delivery is astounding, that there was a huge nod to his Secretary character is a bonus. That Rebecca was similarly wonderful to Maggie, is just the icing.
James has been a huge favorite of mine for a long time. The ease he can use to transition from one character to a totally different character is rather stunning. I'm thinking his role as Dr. Daniel Jackson as the nerdy historian in Stargate, to this assured cocky Lawyer. and many others like Ultron. I just love to see him work.
Remember his role as a drug dealer in "Less than zero" and as Roger Barnes, lawyer in "Wall Street"
Okay that's really mad, I loved SG1 as a kid/teenager, been watching these clips and also some stuff from the Blacklist and never once did I clock he was in Stargate... i'm usually good at recognising people i swear
@@purplefood1 he was in Stargate with Kurt Russell not the TV series.
@@JohnS-il1dr ah that'd be why I only watched that a few times
@@purplefood1 As for stargate, only the movie. The TV series Michael Shanks did a great job or recreating the role of James Spader for 214 episodes.
The hockey player's first "eh" was so fake it was immediately obvious he isn't Canadian.
That's what I call superior intelligence, wit and enormous self confidence! Love this character
Seriously I thought he had Down syndrome
Totally agree
It also helps that the writers make the other characters shut up immediately every time he interrupts them.
@@Malcolm.Y Yeah IRL it's kinda hard to be witty because people won't shut the fuck up
I love this show....I must agree with others. James Spader was great in this character. Rebecca's facial expressions are priceless.
James and Rebecca put on an acting class in this video.
James Spader. Hypnotic.
OMG I think I quivered.
“Sometimes I get so lost in my own voice it turns into a listening experiment” lmfao
You got it wrong
"Sometimes I get so rapt in my own words..."
Alan Shore may be one of the greatest characters ever to grace a TV show. He gets away with being a cheeky bastard because he's got so much heart deep down as we see a lot of in Boston Legal. He treads the line between cocky and confident but most of all is loving and loyal to those who deserve it. He isn't capable of betrayal because he only establishes meaningful relationships with those he intends to back until the end of time.
Do I see a future Reddington here . . . He was good in everything he does
Alan Shore got tired of working in law so he decided to become Raymond Reddington to break the law!
@@kimmyisgreen2929 Yes, I like him now but when he was Pretty in Pink not so much.
For The Love Of Seattle I’ve always loved James Spader, but his 80s hair creeps me out!
@@kimmyisgreen2929 I know right? He was ok in Stargate though but he was weird in Lincoln with Daniel Day Lewis as well. . .
I really can't even imagine any actor who personifies confidence the way Spader does. Every role I've ever seen him in, he's so casual and intellectual in his delivery that you can't turn away.
I would love to hear him voice Ultron again.
You apparently haven't seen Mannequin else you wouldn't have said "Every role". LOL
@@GopherBaroque61Indeed... 😅
Seriously, as for acting chops, who is better? Every role he takes is stunning. As long as the writing is great, he is sensational.
Vincent D'Onofrio comes to mind
James is remarkable as always and Rebecca is the bomb 💣
"Can I speak for a second?".... love it
“You are speaking”
“Oh”😂😂
This is based on an actual event. On March 8, 2004, Todd Bertuzzi grabbed the back of Steve Moore's jersey and punched him in the back of the head. As Moore fell unconscious to the ice, Bertuzzi followed him to the ice with his forearm on the back of Moore's head, driving it into the ice. This resulted in 3 fractured vertebrae and a concussion for Moore. Bertuzzi was suspended for 20 games and forfeited over half a million dollars in salary.
Moore attempted to come back to the game, skating in practices and working out with the team. He continued to suffer chronic concussion symptoms, and he never played professional hockey again.
I've loved hockey since I was a kid. I play hockey as a goalie. Sometimes there are fights, but the Bertuzzi/Moore incident (and this fictionalization of it) was premeditated battery. However, some good has come from it, even if it isn't a direct cause-effect relationship. Fighting in the NHL is way down, next to eliminated. It occasionally happens still, but not nearly as often as it used to. Of course, there are some mouthbreathers who lament this as the death of "old-fashioned, hardnosed hockey" or some sort of "softening" of the sport. Me? I'm glad that all professional sports are finally taking head trauma seriously. CTE kills.
This comment is a pearl among pigs.
They also made a TV movie about the subject back in the 70s, "The Deadliest Season," with Michael Moriarty and one Mary Louise Streep.
They would have had to write and produce this within a week or two of the incident. "Comings and Goings" aired in middle April 2004. Sometimes episodes are written and finished just days before air, but that became less and less common after the 80s. Usually everything's in the can for the first half the series before premiere week, then the next set of 10 to 12 are done in r
The fall.
@@STho205 I would call it remarkably serendipitous then. Either way, the changes made in the NHL have been industry-leading in regards to player safety, and, I would argue, has increased the popularity of the game.
@@body_by_depuy it is possible they wrote and produced at the last minute. West Wing did. However there are coincidences, with pending foreshadowing.
China Syndrome came out just before Three Mile Island almost as if it was planned to reinforce the movie or anti nuclear power sentiment.
Two Dennis the Menace comic strips debuted on the same day in the US and UK by different artists with different characters...but same name.
Pro Hockey fighting had been escalating for years...seemed inevitable that a premeditated attack would happen...
James Spader voice alone is mesmerizing!
Damn, that's good writing!
Sometimes I become so wrapped with my own words it feels more like a listening experience. 1:54 LOL
So smoothly arrogant! 😂😂
his delivery was so smooth I appreciate your playback.
If she-hulk only had this type of writing I'm pretty sure it would be a Crown jewel in the MCU; James spader acting as both alan shore in this show and Raymond reddington in the blacklist is pure perfection!🔥💯😁😉👍
Lol. You are crazy. That level of acting is hardly achieved. MCU is not a fan of character actor/actress. They replaced edward norton with mark rufallo.
@Cipta Pradja lol I know that which is why I said if only they did do that! 💯😁😉👍
james spader played ultron. voice and mo-cap
so there's that
Alan shore acting make me allow a 240p video, he is such a god.
James Spader is such an exceptional actor. I always enthralled with his performance!❤️
HIGHLY underrated writing and acting. Highly
Damnnn, I'm impressed.
James Spader is an amazing actor.
Rebecca mornay so hot 🥵 back in the day
James Spader at his best (one of the many times).
Rebecca is so hot!
Still is.
What a beautiful woman. Yum
I wouldn’t mind being disciplined by Rebecca.
That ass in that skirt😍❤💯👍🏽
Cue "Oh Yeah" by Yello music here. 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓 Oh yes Mistress!💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋
James Spader is the best at playing the arrogant and condescending Pr!(&! Case in point - Pretty in Pink, Less Than Zero, Blacklist, among many others!
There a number of actors that have built successful careers off of playing strangely unique characters, but James Spader and Matthew McConaughey are surely the strangest of the bunch
... and really, *really* good!
I wonder if this scene alone got him the role in The Blacklist...phenomenal actor, and kudos to the writers
James Spader has been great forever
I wish Rebecca would've stayed on boston legal. Her with spader, shatner and Candace bergen would've been tv gold.
Alan Shore is Game personified.
I'm a dude and THAT got me wet. LMFAO!! 06:26
Rebecca De Mornay is so hot!
Wow, Spader is freaking unbelievable. Such a brilliant actor. Really.
Alan Shore is Spader’s best character, just brilliant
I know it is only a TV show, but DAMN those Alan Shore seduction techniques!
James Spader was the only logical and practical choice to portray Alan Shore,.....no contest.
Gentlemen, I present for your viewing pleasure, Rebecca De Mornay
The last couple of minutes were almost straight out of “The Secretary”. And Rebecca De Mornay holding back without saying "Are you ready for me, Ralph." was amazing.
That was a great movie, too. Sex, Lies and Video tape also had parts taken for this scene.
RM 💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💖💖💖💖
If you're referencing Risky Business, Cruise's character was name Joel
@@travisjohnson6676,
Correct, but "Joel" used the name "Ralph" when he setup the meetup with Lana. When she comes over and gets ready for him she says "Are you ready for me, Ralph." Watch it again.
@@calkelpdiver THANKS!
I haven't seen the movie in 30 years
And i was thinking he was good in Boston Legal. Damn he is awesome
This might be considered its' prequel or BL is The Practice's sequel.
Rebecca de morney is extremely beautiful
"It's payback eh?" Good grief where did this dialogue come from? worst delivery ever!😆
James Spader is one of the best actors of our time.
I agree. I get so mad when people criticize Robert California on the office.
As much as I like the show and Spader - this was a foul attempt to critizice fighting in hockey : a 1 on 1 where both guys willingly wanna settle stuff is alll good - NO real hockey fan wants or cheers for vicious sucker punches (Bertuzzi-Moore , McSorly-Brashear). I played myself, I hit I checked and used my body, but I never would never go dirty like this or spearing.
People that never played the game or at least grew up with it for more than 30 years, have no say in this, they do not understand and never will.......period
Rebecca in her prime was unmatched.....she really had it all......
A beautiful woman and excellent actress
Yes, and she still looks pretty good here. 😏
Still Gorgeous and has aged little, even though her daughter, a near ringer for Rebecca, is almost the age Ms DeMornay was here.
Hadda downvote for the "had" as that implies that "it " is no longer when she clearly has not lost anything from her UTTER GORGEOUSNESS.
James Spader, amazing talent
I think I'm gay for James Spader.
Wow, Rebecca DeMornay is really pretty in this.
What an absolute master of his craft!!!!👌👏👏. The writers of this show were brilliant too👍
James Spader at his best. Wow.
My God they had some absolutely stunning women on this show and Boston Legal.
Man, i didn't know Raymond Redington was also a high powered attorney with hair at one point in his life, he must have wanted a break from the hustle and bustle of the high crime lifestyle
James Spader has become a better actor since he matured and got good parts in Boston Legal. I applaud Boston Legal for hiring James Spader because he is so damn good in verbal arguments. I so wished I had that skill he's got. I know that it is scripted but it's the best I've seen next to M. Houser. MD.
I just love this hockey episode.
Requires confidence & command over your skill
3:30 “What would they do? Pull your jersey over your head and pummel you?” 🤣
This is the epitome of a perfectly written and drawn character performed by the perfect actor for the role...James Spader provides a genuinely based platform on which to spawn his untamed intellectual and sexual drives.
Ahh these were the days, when good actors had good writers to make a show you got excited to watch!
Unlike today?? In the age of streaming shows and premier cable shows on channels like AMC, FX, Paramount etc??
@@Mr.Nyongo yes, unlike today.
@@jeronimo196 I rewatched Boston Legal a few years ago. Despite the very good writing and very good acting, there are many parts that have become very uncomfortable to watch. Both Alan and Denny are practically sexual predators, frequently harassing and even assaulting women. Of course, playing top lawyers at a high-end law firm, such behaviour can hardly be considered surprising, but it isn't the kind of thing we can just brush aside anymore.
And the fact that we are more conscious of this now compared to then isn't diminishment: it's maturing.
@@nicholassmith7984 you find some parts uncomfortable to watch - I understand that.
Nevertheless, those parts are both true to life as it was then and evoking strong emotions. So, the question is, would it be a better show if those parts were sanitized?
I think not.
Contrast with "The Boys" S2. Extremely edgy R-rated show, blood and gore everywhere. Stormfront is a super-powered surviving nazi, evil enough to kill entire black families - yet not evil enough to say "nigger".
In a way, according to Amazon's guidelines of storytelling, I've just committed more racism in the youtube comment section, than Stormfront could ever do in their show.
54, played hockey my whole life, D1 college and coached a HS team. Watched a Rangers game with Bobby Orr once, asked him why they allowed fighting, I knew the answer but wanted to hear his answer.
It sells tickets.
It's simply that violence is fascinating. It is strange that grown people, the league, embraces it though. Speaks to the mind set of those in charge
Bull shit, we were fighting in hockey when you had 12 people watching on a frozen pond in the 1900's and protective equipment was a pair of leather mitts. You fight in hockey, because that's part of the game, plain a simple, it's fun. You Americans do not understand the game, very few Americans did, bobby Clarke was one of the few who did, get your teeth knocked out, smile and come back for more the next period.
Sell tickets my ass..
You're quivering
I'm here for Rebecca
Toeing the line between vulgarity and truth was always what made me uncomfortable with Spader's Shore. But I never took for granted the magic of an actor, acting in a make believe show being able to make me feel something at all. He's trying to push your buttons, you both know he's trying to push your buttons...and yet he still manages to push your buttons.
Ha.. a young reddington.
Take that! Katerina rostova!
ReBecca de Morney was so fu*kable back in the 80's and 90's
Every straight man in America has one question about Rebecca. Does she?
