“I’m the front man, and you’re the guitarist with mystique.  That’s the dynamic we agreed on!”

Thank God he’s not on Twitter, saves me the embarrassment of having to retract my unhinged death threat.

It’s not true!  He lettered in football.

I don’t think knowing that a character is going to live necessarily destroys the tension of seeing the character in a potentially deadly situation. E.g., there was often a lot of tension about Walter White’s safety on Breaking Bad because the show was doing its best to get you to empathize with him. We know he’s going…

Snakes on a Plane: Tokyo Hiss

I had a good time with this movie but the way they dealt with Dillahunt’s character is an example of why a lot of it didn’t really work.

Unfortunately she seems to have lost the the light comedic touch that made movies like Safe and Blindness so fun to watch.

Citizen, Slain

David Fincher’s Zack, starring Anthony Hopkins as Zack Snyder.

Fair point! And since Holt didn’t say that he worked with the father, just that he’d met him before working with the son, the fact that he never worked with Anthony Quinn isn’t a strike against this theory.

Listening to the interview, McCallany doesn’t actually say he worked with the father before working with the son—he just says “when I eventually met him I found him to be tremendously pompous . . . and then I found myself working with his son, who looked exactly like him.” So, it could be Hal Holbrook. He and Julie…
