I think possibly Alec Baldwin has all of the body hair in Hollywood. Oh, and Robin Williams. There's none left for anyone else!
'Objects In Space'
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.
Deadwood: Fantastic, all the way through. I especially love the NG's kindness to Steve. I used to feel less love for the character, but the NG's sense of responsibility to the loathsome man who drove his friend to suicide is just fuckin' awesome to behold. Everything about how the townspeople have come together and become better people than they used to be is pure hard-earned truth. I'm going to go out on a limb and say here in the open that Deadwood is the most realistically optimistic show that tv has ever given us, a blessing. To paraphrase James Wright, the show makes us realize that if we were to step out of our bodies, we would break into blossom.
Nicholas Cage. IJS.
Speaking of kindness & Deadwood-- I'd totally forgotten who Mose was exactly until this last episode. And Aunt Lou & Richardson in the smokehouse wrecked me. He's one of my favorite characters.

And yeah, I love the hell out of Richardson. I don't think it's a spoiler to mention the wondrous look on Sol and Trixie's faces when Richardson began juggling.
Oh man, the Deadwood white font is KILLING me. Must get this season somehow.
I stopped reading up on the real history of Deadwood because I don't want to be spoiled for the end of the series!
Speaking of I'm pretty sure Joanie talking about how the kids needed to know what happened to the man who built the house around the tree because they would want to have the whole story was a dig at HBO.

I watched Roger Rabbit over the weekend--add Bob Hoskins to that list (he has a ton of back hair, too!).
And, of course, Steve Carrell....
dig at HBO
Oh yeah. It was also an eloquent defense of what seems to be a major theme for Milch this season: the ability of art - theater and words (such as in Bullock's letter) - to lift every person out of the muck of their lives and become better people and a real community. Not white-fonted because that's no spoiler.
