You're on much safer ground with that omission, since it's not exactly the only time Roberts has played a crazed murderer or some sort of maladjusted criminal.  I'm curious about how somebody who seems as genuinely benign as Edwards, and who seems to play mostly pretty benign guys, managed to be such a convincing Dick…

Good interview - wouldn't have minded a bit more about Zodiac (the idea of David Fincher  being "dad-friends" with anybody really tickles me) and some chat about the pretty good version of In Cold Blood that he did with Eric Roberts.  I'm not completely up on this guy's oeuvre, but I'm pretty sure it's the only time…

He did say she made them all laugh, and you could interpret that a couple of ways.  But yeah, I was instantly primed for some dirt and was disappointed.

What's wrong with Daddy issues?  It worked for Oedipus.

If you're knocking Hanks' accent in this, you may be making the same mistake I did - it's not a bad Boston accent, it's a good Chicago one.

I am actually brimming with good will for Christian Slater these days after watching the caviar exchange with Larry David on YouTube.

Yeah, reminds me of Madonna's flippers.  Gross as hell.

Wrong.  JN's characters in THE KING OF MARVIN GARDENS, IRONWEED, THE SHOOTING, BATMAN, THE LAST DETAIL, and THE LAST TYCOON, just to name a few, are quite different from each other.  It's true that his most flamboyant performances have probably gotten the most attention over the years

This won't seem like such a hot idea when they get to the age where they start banging dudes or have their first lesbian relationship.

The character was certainly uneducated, but just as clearly NOT stupid.

"Mindy wears a white sack over her head to ward off murderers because they’ll think she’s a murderer, and it’ll scare them off."
Didn't see the episode, but I'm curious - any problemas with the eyeholes?

Yeah, it's more of an internal thing - he's his own drunken English redneck/rapist hillbilly.  It feels a bit like a Polanski film in that sense.

I'm going to go with Wes Anderson, not only because I believe he has the most punchable face (has he ever been photographed w/o a slight smirk?), but also because I'm pretty sure I could take him out with one punch while Tarantino, as old and pudgy as he is, would still be able to pound me into the pavement.

Like you said, GPB is more of a pure comedy than Tarantino's stuff.  And the violence has parameters - you know nothing too awful is going to happen, which is certainly not true of a Tarantino film.  Miami Blues by the same director is closer to Tarantino territory - there are a couple of serious WTF violent and/or…

Hold on. Love and a .45 is a lot better than The Boondock Saints.

I don't like Winona or Ava much - they're both codependent dingbats and a lot more trouble than they're worth.  Makes for the drama I guess, but he could have conflict with a strong woman too for a change.

Over a thousand blogs?  He does sound pretty damn sadistic.

Hmmmm… SONS OF ANARCHY only has two seasons to go, at which point THE WALKING DEAD will undoubtedly need a new show runner…
