Dear lord. The Unit totally misted me up this week, with the
kid and the abandonment (well, if you can be abandoned by someone you just met).
Sniff.
I was looking at Dennis Haysbert's resume (wondering what a man with such an imposing build and voice did before I noticed him). I notice he'll be playing Mandela, which is weird. And I love his Buck Rogers (yeah, uhuh) credits as Ensign, Lt. Parsons, Helsman, Communications Officer, and Guard. I'm assuming he was in a lot of costume, or something, to get away with all that. I'm just surprised he never played a Klingon. Or several Klingons.
Frell -- my cable box turned itself off and I didn't get Survivor or the OC tonight.
Sucks, Jess.
ita, did you see Far From Heaven? If not, you should.
The first role I really noticed him in was in Waiting to Exhale. Until 24, he was "oh, that guy."
He was assistant coach in "Just the Ten of Us"!
That bites, Jess.
Jesse--I'll add that to my Netflix list.
Which reminds me, I should watch a damned movie this weekend. I think I might have jogged myself out of notflixing by sending back two of the discs I was stalling on, incomplete. And I only have to watch the second half of
Clueless
(I sent it back halfwatched so I could get
Crash
before the Oscars) as part of my "How does this movie look now that I live here?" program.
However, I have 12 hours of Miami Vice on the TiVo.

Who was he in that? I just plain don't remember the movie. Disliked it.
He was Whitney Houston's married boyfriend.
Okay. I remember two scenes from that movie (that weren't the Loretta Devine subplot). One was the car being torched, and the other was them comiserating in the dance club. The latter was about where I zoned out, because reviling someone for the offense you're about to commit can be a really quick way for a character to lose me. And I sure felt like the author wanted me to think it was okay.
Combining Miami Vice and repurposing actors, John Leguizamo has a notable recurring role as the Calderone kid in two early eps of the show, and is now in what looks like a smaller role as someone completely different. Too confusing when you're mainlining.

My favourite example of that is Colin Baker, who played the sixth Doctor in Doctor Who, and also got a speaking part as a Gallifreyan guard in an earlier ep, where he got to execute the fifth Doctor.
Why the hell am I getting a wrong number?
I don't know. You should give them a call and find out.
ita, my love and darling who knows everything. Where are they releasing X-Men in LA?
