JK Simmons was excellent AS ALWAYS.
OMG he was my Celebrity Sighting when I was in L.A. in January! Aimee can back me up; I think she pointed him out to me. basks in aura of coolness
I've seen honest faces before. They usually come attached to liars.

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
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.

sj, it's the Nathan Lane/Faith Prince/Peter Gallagher revival of G&D (lots of now-big names in it!). JKS also duets on the title song.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I saw that show, AIwasFG!

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Btw, Erika, there were bits in Inside Man that rather reminded me of H:LotS. Detectives and uniforms sitting in a surveillance van shooting the breeze, arguing about the Grand Central Station, in the middle of a hostage crisis, for example. The movie is full of interesting conversations about different things, some directly relevant to the crisis at hands, and others going off on an oblique but always interesting tangents. But not in that kinda-forced, self-conscious Quentin Tarantino way.
JKS's voice. Mmmmm..... I mostly remember him from that H:LotS two-parter, in which he played a racist fuckwit who died of a heart attack in train station platform, to Frank's towering rage. Very versatile actor, who I never would have imagined in a comedic role until he played whassiname the editor from Spider-Man. I didn't know he was also a singer! Oooooh to the power of ten!

Always Anti-fascist!
I still say, in that case, somebody ought to smack the promo department. Lucky I've got my bunkies here. Vonnie, that always reminds me of the "davino" conversation in the first H:LOTS. They end up pulling the witness in too, iirc. ETA: Also didn't know Simmons could sing. Cool!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, that was incredible. The only thing that's weird is, isn't that a L&O crossover? It's amazing to me that I could watch him play the worst guy EVAR on OZ and then Dr. Skoda on L&O practically on the same day with very little cognitive dissonance.

Even if I forget his name a lot and call out "Dr Skoda!" when I see him...
I'm exactly the opposite, erika. Since I took note of him first on Oz, when I would see him on L&O, I would always shout out "It's that racist fuck Schillinger!"
Since then, he's demonstrated so much range, I no longer associate him with any one role in particular.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
He's also the voice of the yellow M&M.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
The only thing that's weird is, isn't that a L&O crossover?
Little known fact: Mike Kellerman was a murderous New York taxi driver before ever he was Mike Kellerman. It happens.
(Actually what's most funny is when it happens from one version of L&O to another. New York's just not that big a town.)
