Well, while I think he was the weakest link in a very good ensemble cast, I don't think he was a bad actor. He was the best thing about The Rules of Attraction. (Admittedly, out-acting James Van der Beek and Shannon Sossamon isn't setting the bar all that high, but not a hint of his homophobic toolishness bled into the performance.) It's got to be tough having most of your scenes with Terry O'Quinn in terms of comparison.
That said, if someone were paying me outrageous sums of money to work outdoors in Hawaii, where I got along great with my co-workers and received widespread career exposure and accolades from a constantly growing fan base, I probably wouldn't choose to complain to the press about it.
Re
Lost,
is Boone the only major cast member who is going to die? It looked from the previews shown this week that Locke gets shot. I know that could be misleading, or could be part of his back story, showing how he ended up in the wheelchair, but a death that actualy meant something to me would be nice as well.
I have just confirmed that I am a complete and utter spoiler whore. I read an article saying there's a controversy about the latest Elizabeth George mystery, in which a "major character" dies. I've been reading the series from the beginning and I was immediately compelled to go out on the internet and find out who dies. It is, thankfully, not someone I care about.
So, who is it, Ginger? Huh? Huh?
Signed,
Also a complete and utter spoiler whore
Ginger, you must tell me. I love reading mysteries and I returned to reading her books recently. Her recent ones aren't as good as the earlier ones, but I'm still interested.
Lynley's wife, Helen, dies and he quits the force. I wandered into the forums at Elizabeth George's website [link] and discovered, once again, that all fandoms have crazies. "Elizabeth George: senseless killer" was among the mildest.
Wow. That's kind of surprising. *sigh*
Maybe trying to have Lynley not be depressed was too difficult to sustain.
I do like EG's mysteries, but in small doses. She seems to subscribe to the 'what kind of crap can I fling at my characters
now?"
school of writing. I made the mistake of reading three of her novels in a row and then having to take a major break from her.
I'm just glad that the character being offed isn't Barbara.
