Which reminds me of a fun game we used to play, best actor with the worst career of movies. My favorite one still is Gabriel Byrne.
Ooh, nice call.
Ben Kingsley's gotta be getting up there.
I think this may get to be a Film/TV Board thread if it isn't already.

His last big role was in the Pink Panther remake.
Besides that, his last real significant role was five years ago, with Life as a House.

Gilda Dent makes me bring out a fave:
How about good actors who never get lead roles? Jeffrey DeMunn has never been less than completely convincing in anything I've seen him in, yet he never gets anything but bit parts. He plays lawyers a lot.
Charles Grodin. Although he does occasionally get the lead, he's not usually very good there. He's great as a secondary character, though. Some people are better at being the second banana. Usually looks like a more fun part, anyway. Leads usually end up being boring clichés too often.

Though I thought he was fantastic in Dark City.
The scene where says, "Why don't people ever listen to me?" He delivered that line with such a sense of exhaustion and despair.
He may be a clueless monotone, but he's a great clueless monotone.
Peter Weller's also got a kickarse monotone. The scene in Naked Lunch where the cockroach asks him to rub some powder onto its sphinctre and he shrugs and says, "Sure, why not?"
He gave it a sense of 'Why the fuck not? I'm in a police station and a talking bug wants me to shove drugs up its ass... what the hell?'

Yes, what he does, he does well. Excellent example. I also thought he pulled off his role in "The Accidental Tourist" well. But then, stuff like "Altered States" and "Body Heat" he's hit and miss. I just don't buy his "I'm very excited" work. And then there's stuff like "Broadcast News", but I can't fault him for movies that really have no redeeming values at all.

This is my neighborhood
This is where I come from

You call this place a slum
You wanna run all the people out
This what you're all about
Treat poor people just like trash

These houses may look all run down

Last month there was a fire
I saw seven children die
You sent flowers to their family
But your sympathy's a lie
Cause every building that you burn
Is more blood money that you earn
We are forced to relocate
From the pain that you create
Now you can tear a building down
But you can't erase a memory
These houses may look all run down
But they have a value you can't see
We lived here for so many years
Now this house is full of fear
For a profit you will take control
Where will all the older people go?
There used to be when kids could play
Without the scourge of drug's decay
Now our kids are living dead
They crack and blow their lives away

I am so not looking forward to today.
I start my second job right after my first one.
How's this for ironic:
Normally Waldenbooks has calendar kiosks in 2 spots in the mall. Last year I worked both and I was supposed to run them both this season. However, with the prospect of Barnes&Noble opening up next spring, the mall gave B&N first crack at selling calendars. Subsequently, we don't have the kiosks, I'm not running the kiosks, and our hours are woefully short.
So I had to find something else to pad my hours.
I applied and was hired at the very kiosks that stopped me from working at our own kiosks.
What's really sad is that I'll be making more an hour starting than what I'm currently earning at Waldenbooks. And just as sad is the fact that this job is temporary. But I figure I should be able to squirrel away a few bucks while getting caught up on the bills so that I might have enuff to fall back on between the time our store closes and the new B&N opens. And it'll only be a few months after that when we move.
Still, working 6 days a week is gonna kill me . . .

Hey look at him! Ill never live that way.
But thats okay
Theyre just afraid to change.
When you feel your life aint worth living
Youve got to stand up and
Take a look around you then a look way up to the sky.
And when your deepest thoughts are broken,
Keep on dreaming boy, cause when you stop dreamin its time to die.
And as we all play parts of tomorrow,
Some ways will work and other ways well play.
But I know we all cant stay here forever,
So I want to write my words on the face of today.

Here's a couple of ideas for you Jessica.
1. Complain to Brian Cronin.
2. Be like Curefreak.
3. Learn To Be Still (one of the Eagles' lesser known great songs)
4. Stop being a Trammeler.
5. Get over it.
Because unless I'm told by someone with authority that I'm doing wrong, I'm not stopping anything I'm doing.
If you were here yesterday, I didn't post anything to do with Jessica Simpson.
So you exaggerate that every post has something to do with her...as people like you...you know, constipated people, do.

There's a reason this is a community, we don't have to "squeal" because something pisses us off, we can just confront the person and hope they appreciate our point of view. It seems the logical and rational among us can handle this stuff and trolls got all hot and bothered, which would you rather be ?

On its best days, the community board is a place of civil disagreement and fun-poking, and no martyr claims are played.

I'm also putting together the next order of graphic novels for the System. All the Fables TPBs, Blacksad in both Spanish and English versions, "American Born Chinese", and whatever else catches my eye during the rest of the week.

Just came back from my first job interview of the day.
I got an email from this company yesterday, they had seen my resume and wanted to talk to me, yet did not post a job description. I looked into the company from his email address and they looked like a competitor of ours so the business was about the same. I show up and sit down with the President and the Director of Business Development. They begin by asking me about my current company and how they are bankrupt. The word has spread and everyone in the industry seems to know about it now. Then we talked about what I do here and what a typical day is. Finally, they explain that they just went through a hiring binge and and all of their openings are filled, but they saw my resume and qualifications and wanted to talk to me. So, now that they have seen I can fill in a lot of their gaps, they said "we have to discuss if we can find a way to get you in here" Even though there are no openings ! What the hell ?!?!?

My work here is done.
It took me 3 years, but I finally got Ed to admit his failings and realize how sad his life is.
I'm off the the Bendis board, to show Bendis that more words does not make the writing better.
Doesn't work, I tried! I even belted out the theme to "Different Strokes" in the middle of the conversation and he just didn't get it...

Wow, that was a nice backhand from Pinky. I must've missed that episode, 'cause I can only remember one time when Pinky had a coherent thought, and it involved the two of them switching roles for the episode.

I think we should be able to vote people off the island, like on Survivor.
On the other hand, I'd probably be one of the first people voted off. Then I'd have to make that stupid speech about how I met a lot of great people and I wouldn't change any part of this 'experience' or 'journey' or whatever the kids are calling it these days, and besides I'm an actor looking for work anyways (Call my agent!!!

Everyone's pal, Ryan Day, did a neat guest spot on the blog examining John Ostrander's Firestorm.
Check it out here (http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/2006/11/16/comic-blogs-should-be-good-metamorphostuff/).
-Brian
That was a great breakdown of John (and Tom) and their cult status, because honestly, how many people read those books? Even for Ostrander, his run on Firestorm is about as well-known as Gaiman's run on Hellblazer. Yeah, a lot of people know the name and love the work, but there's always something by someone you haven't read yet. After The Spectre, most people know John from his definitive run on Suicide Squad, but not a whole lot of people dug Firestorm.

I remember when Candlestick became 3-Com, and the Monster. It was clear that a change was occurring and we were entering a new age of advertizing. The bridge would take it one step too far. Cuz if a corporation can claim that, they can claim anything.
