Give That Goat A Contract!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Darlings, not since the days of Lassie and Toto has there been such talk over a Hollywood animal star. It is the con census of critics, including yours truly, that Black Phillip, the goat, steals every scene that he appears in Robert Eggers' stunning new film, "The Witch." He interacts with children, attacks the father, and speaks in tongues. I am telling you, girls, I have not seen this kind of an acting range since Linda Blair in "The Exorcist," and that was forty three years ago!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In fact, Black Phillip acts better than Jennifer Lawrence. And he has more presence, to boot.
Everyone is wondering what his next project is going to be. The rumor is that it will be a big screen adaptation of Edward Albee's "The Goat,or Who Is Sylvia?." in which the script is rewritten, so the goat does not get killed, gets the best lines, and the man-goat relationship scene is depicted in all its glory. There is even a confrontation between the goat and the wife that is straight out of "Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf?"
Pity the poor, hard working actors in "The Witch." Playing second fiddle to a goat!!!!!!!!!!!
No "Sound Of Music-Lonely Goatherd" roles for Black Phillip. He is up there in the bigwigs of drama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hear Marcia Gay Harden cannot wait to work with him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
