Like the always smart and insightful Vonnie
t preeeeeeens
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!
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!

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.
He's also the voice of the yellow M&M.
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.)
Even better, same version of L&O -- a bunch of people have guested multiple times. At least the personnel changes....
Didn't Jerry Orbach guest as an attorney in one of the early seasons?
probably.
Well, Sean, I was late to the party with Oz and watched it on video...I saw Dr. Skoda first.
On that basis, Schillinger blew my mind.
So this morning I heard they're planning an Ocean's Thirteen.
Is there any truth to the idea that it will take place on an orbiting casino?
I hope the radio folks were just kidding.
Whitefonted in the hopes that I can ignore it.
