Michael Pitt's default setting is set to "creepy". So he's very watchable when the role calls for him to put forth his natural-born creepiness, but is just icky and wrong when he's playing, I don't know, a romantic leading man in a travelogue ("Silk", I am looking at you.) I still remember an episode of L&O: SVU where he played a budding sociopath -- he was fantastic. His role in "Murder by Numbers" was cut from the same cloth.
I have to give it to him though -- I watched the first season of Boardwalk Empire and thought he was reasonably good in that. He gives good "morally bankrupt".
I vote this scene: [link] Careful--it is on some odd porn site which was the only place I could find it, so NSFW AT ALL. I suggest immediately putting it in full screen mode to avoid the stuff on the the side.
Oh,
The Big Easy!
Absolutely.
Oh Scrappy! When our children were at home, and underfoot, H and I would take our VHS copies of The Big Easy and Dirty Dancing with us on our frequent three and four-day weekends *alone*. The mere allusion, "What, that? Or that?" has long been sexytalk for us. As is, still, "Look out for da gator, baby."
Quaid said at the time of the film's release that he and Barkin were non-romantic old friends, which gave them a sense of trust and fun to play and explore playing the scene, as well as the whole movie. Which is still and will probably always be a fond favorite.
Mightygodking does Alignment chart, all-Gary Oldman edition.
It's possible I'm missing something because I've never seen
Immortal Beloved,
but putting the Romantic's Romantic composer down as Lawful Neutral? What?
Yeah, when is Beethoven neutral anything?
Heh. When the title of the review is Bourne Legacy WTF?, that's not a good sign.
Man, the last Bourne film was really up its own rectum. They need to not make homework mandatory. Not only was I headachey as shit, I was unsure how it interleaved with the previous one.
So...they're doing that again, but with fewer familiar cues? Oh, okay then.
Will and I watched Bourne Legacy tonight. I liked it. There was less shaky cam stuff, although it was there. But I don't think during the fights. Jeremy Renner is shirtless a decent amount of time.
I liked the movie over all. It wasn't ground breaking in any way but it was an enjoyable summer movie. I hope it does well enough that there's another with Jeremy Renner.
