I gave up on him when he started casting actors that trigger my "ick, something disgusting just crawled out from under a rock" response: Mel Gibson, Joachin Phoenix, Michael Pitt, and now Paul Giamatti.
I am a large, semi-muscular man. I can take it. Don't hide behind Mal 'cause you know he'll shoot it down for you. Tell me.

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.

Hey, don't pick on Giamatti. He's a great actor who's done some fantastic work in thankless roles.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I find that my response to the Lady in the Water is less painfully eyerolly and more hilarious if I just remember to refer to it by the much better title Watery Tart.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Makes me wonder if he had an unrequited crush on somebody named "Fran" at some point, but that's probably just the result of knowing about too many Dracula movies where there's a mysterious character by the name of "Alucard" lurking about.

Oh Matt. You don't like Paul? He's one of my favorite actors, precisely because he looks like such a schlub. I love that face! Such pathos.

Paul Giammatti is the spitting image of my best friends brother seen here, [link] the third person down.
Or perhaps he is the spitting image of Paul.
