The teeth didn't bother me so much (probably because I am a huge fan of British cinema), but the gauntness and bad skin did. That's what felt junkie-ish and squicky to me.
I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

He didn't look like a junkie to me--more like a guy who had had a really rough couple of years. I was very surprised how much I liked him in this. In Sunrise, Delpy was the one I connected to, but in Sunset he just seemed so quietly defeated. That moment when she hugged him he really did seem like a guy who was aching to be touched.

I watch Rushmore and think, in 10 years, that kid will be a grownup worth knowing. But I'm not sure I want to know him while he's a teenager.
I watch it and think "in 10 years, that kid will grow up to be Ross Geller. Kill him now."

Yeah, I liked Hawke too--they both gave really nuanced performances I thought. I just thought he looked ill.

Trust my rage
I thought perhaps the looking ill was part of the desperateness of his character. Plus, he was just finishing a whirlwind European book tour. I'm hoping it was an intentional paart of his character and he's not really ill or something.

Maybe Uma Thurman's family has put a hurtin' on him?

I saw him on Letterman last week and he looked okay.

Good to hear, Maysa.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
Dustin Hoffman's character in the Graduate annoys me, for instance, even though a lot of people relate to him
No, I can go with that. I mean, I love the movie, LOVE IT, but his character is just so aimless and clueless . . . .

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
his character is just so aimless and clueless . . . .His own fault, for failing to appreciate plastics.
