He's definitely a dick, though. I just don't think he's that kind of dick.
Early: So is it still her room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing, have purpose? Or do we -- what's the word? Simon: I really can't help you. Early: The plan is to take your sister. Get the reward, which is substantial. 'Imbue.' That's the word.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
It's got a nice Boy's Own adventure serial feel to it. Cliffhanger every week that reminds me of old Alias. Big plotting that doesn't go quite smoothly, fantastical wheels within wheels.
And Wentworth Miller has plot-dictated shirtlessness.
This is all very nice but my favorite part of the show right now is watching Peter Stormare and Robert Knepper alternately chew scenery.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Was Stormare always using an accent? He sounded very paisan last night. I think I mean paisan. I think that's how it's spelled.
That's way too much thinking for this time of the morning.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Personally, I think it's kind of funny. He's putting forward a reprehensible persona. We get to laugh at it, rather than with it. It's a joke about a racist character, rather than a racist joke. But that's just me.
I must have a shitty sense of humor because I don't get the joke. I just find it reprehensible and gross. And if that's the only persona he's putting out there...well...reprehensible and gross fits.

I mean, he took the critics reaction to The Brown Bunny in stride, and had a good laugh about it, right?
That was the one where he threatened to kill Ebert's dog, wasn't it? Good time, good times.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Unless threatening to kill critic's dogs is more common than I thought, I'm pretty sure that was Mel Gibson, about Frank Rich.

So he doesn't really think that fags and Spics shouldn't be allowed to have their own celebrations in New York like the St. Patrick's Day Parade, he was just joking. Perhaps, if he and I ever meet, we can share a laugh at his brand of humor. Though I've been told my method of laughing resembles curb-stomping to an unfamiliar observer.

That's his Swedish accent. Weird, right?

No, that was who Jessica said. Gallo said that he hoped Ebert got cancer.
