Hasn't Owen done more cerebral characters on stage? Death of Joe Egg for example?
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I told you, didn't I, about my surprise the first time I saw Owen crack a smile?
Actually, I can't recall Clive Owen smiling in a genuine, uncomplicated-happy way. I've seen his characters smile, but they're always 1) kind of feral, where you can see his teeth and worry that he's going to shoot you between your eyes in 5 minutes, or 2) melancholy as hell, like "oh yeah, you're happy now, but see if it lasts!" type of thing.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Vonnie, the instances I was thinking of were interviews. So, not in any kind of character. It's always a little reassuring to know that people typecast as really tense aren't necessarily so when they're at home.
Unless you're Christian Bale.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm pretty sure he's happy in Greenfingers, even if not right away.

Huh. I don't think I've ever seen him being interviewed. Must rectify this somehow.

Finally! A definition of the Hegelian dialectic that clicks for me.
Also a short Batman Begins review.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Being the skimmer that I am, when I first read that my mind went to Cash's little boy, Owen. I was mightily impressed.

Art Crawl!!!
I didn't know that Paula Deen is in the new Orlando Bloom/Kirsten Dunst movie!
Also, is this Patty Griffin the Patty Griffin of Living With Ghosts ? I mean, the singer/song writer?

Clive Owen can do different Brit accents--he did a great one (west country, I think?) in Precious Bane back in 1989, when he played Gideon Sarn. IIRC, he even cracked a smile or two in character, before his bumper crop was burned. Then he went all broodypants.
I wish they would release that on DVD--AFAIK, it's never been out on video or disc.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
