I've never before or since seen a performance so utterly simultaneously watch-from-the-hall and heartbreaking.
His performance in Boogie Nights was stunning as well.

And Henry Gibson (as Thurston Howell!) adding to both by just destroying him from the sidelines with his catty snark.

It's not that I'm the only one, it's that I'm the honest one.
Fox have provided a press release for Drive. It seems to be a direct lift off the Fox page except this time Tim's actually been credited as a co-creator.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Magnolia: I loved the directing and the performances, but I found I could not care a whit what happened to the characters.

I watched Magnolia when I had a very, very bad day. Because it was long and I wanted to think about something else for a few hours.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Somebody posted this on WHEDONesque:
If they hold it until spring (as opposed to January), Fox can promote the show heavily throughout early season NASCAR coverage.
That's got to be so smooth a connection even Fox can't miss it, right?
