Bob's brother knows him, as well-- he edited Angus's ill-fated live-action pilot.
She's terse. I can be terse. Once in flight school, I was laconic.

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.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Sometimes you are having a blah day, and something like this comes along and restores your faith in humanity:
I saw that a couple years back. It still hurts my brain.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
I think I'll revisit Deadwood the next two days, while the BF is off in San Diego covering the new Cadillac launch. He may be staying at the W hotel and getting wined and dined by car execs, but I get to watch Swearingen's blow job monologue again. Frankly, I think I'm getting the better part of the deal.
Awesome. I envy you your Deadwood re-watch.

I saw some promotional stuff about this Salma Hayak-Colin Farrell movie on tv the other night and that was the first I'd heard of it. Is that good? or bad?
I'm not sure about having CF play an Italian.

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

Is his colouring off? (I'm kinda not good at the subtleties, I find). He has demonstrated he's good with accents.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

It's not his colouring so much as his features - those read very Irish to me, especially in comparison to someone like Ralph Macchio.
Given that, there might be deeper issues, but from a physical standpoint... eh.

Yeah, I'm blind to much of that stuff. It's not that, say, all white people look alike--more that they all look different and I don't see the commonalities that people use to characterise groups. I see the crossbreeding more than anything else.
Of course I'll be happy to point out black people that I swear have to be West Indian and not American, so it's all in where the eye has spent the time.
What deeper issues?

Yes. (For me, it's a function of working in theater - trying to cast a family, for example, you start having to pay attention to the commonalities.)

I guess I haven't heard him be American recently. His accent in Tigerland was okay.
Yeah, his coloring is fine, but he looks really Irish. What I don't understand was why couldn't he just be Irish? Weren't there plenty of Irish immigrants in the 30s too?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Sumi, the movie is based on a real-life person, is why. He's some forgotten novelist that Charles Bukowski and others of his ilk resurrected into boozy stardom. (Such as it is.)
Sometimes, I can really ignore intra-racial ethnicity-markers. I don't have strong feelings either way about Farrell playing Italian, e.g. But sometimes it just jumps out at me -- actually, the only people I can conjure up off the top of my head are real-life people, like Vladimir Putin.
