Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Also, I really hate Sam Rockwell's face. He's up there with Edward Norton for actors whose movies I don't want to see. I don't know if this is an aesthetic bigotry, or that they've both been typecast into unsavory roles based on their looks. The only time I enjoyed Norton was when he was dressed as Barney in a black comedy. Seeing them play smarmy characters just takes the fun out of loathing them and really makes me want to avert my eyes.

In Iron Man 2 news: knowing comic/Avengers movie canon has definitely lessened the hot mess that is/was IM2.

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.

I think the only movies I've seen Sam Rockwell in were Galaxy Quest, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and IM2. I found him amusing in all three.

I actually liked IM2, but it was a let-down compared to how good IM1 was.

I loathed Rockwell in IM2, but generally enjoy his work.

I looooooooove Sam Rockwell.

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

Sam Rockwell can definitely revel in the cheese, but I'd never thought of Ed Norton as typecast (and Rockwell is convincing to me when he makes serious, like Moon), and Ed looks incredibly normal (with a H'wood sheen) and not skeevy.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Sam Rockwell as Guy in Galaxy Quest won me over for life. I also love Confessions of a Dangerous Mind a whole hell of a lot.

He can be annoying as hell, but usually because he's cast to be that way (Xaphrod, his role in Seven Psychopaths, etc.).

"Oh that's just not right!!!"

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Sam Rockwell is *fantastic* in Moon. Tiny movie, but a really smart, thoughtful Sci-Fi. Rockwell IS the entire movie and he carries it marvellously. Based on that and Source Code, I'm also keen to see what Duncan Jones (son of David Bowie) will do next.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Bowie wrote the song "Kooks" to his newborn son, then known as Zowie.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Sam Rockwell's appearances in Galaxy Quest, HGTTG, and Moon have more or less made me a fan for life. (And unlike Ed Norton, I don't know anything about him being a giant assberet off set.)

The only time I enjoyed Norton was when he was dressed as Barney in a black comedy.

I *LOVE* Death To Smoochy. OMG, that movie was fantastic.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
