LawTalkers - The thread where Spring has sprung, and Penske has risen from the law. Word!

i read an interview with him once where he explained his mode of selecting roles.

basically he knew he couldn't tell anything from the script so if he could do it temporally (and this was 20 years ago when he was working) he took it. he knew that meant being involving in lots of bad work, but also increased his chance to hit one good every so often.

I think penske read the same interview.

I just like Sutherland. He plays himself in most roles, and I happen to like his salty, kind-of-depressed air. This goes a long way to explaining why I find him so consistently entertaining regardless of the vehicle. I guess I like most actors for this reason. Except Pacino. He plays himself too well.

That's my impression of George Clooney: here's a movie showing what would happen if George Clooney were a bank robber! Or counsel in a law firm! Or a bank robb...I mean, a cat burglar!

AON, has anyone talked about the Black Keys? I found them through Pandora. I've become a fan through Pandora.

Apparently you are tragically un-hip if you are not into the Black Keys, or so I was advised by NineteenthYearSlave just the other day. I am glad you have escaped my fate.

She says she's skinny now. I think you might have to meet her again, so that you can rate her for our amusement.

You should spend more time listening to Pandora. I just got lucky.

Dude, that's the difference between an actor and a movie star. Here's a movie showing what would happen if Bogart were a riverboat captain! Or a bar owner! Or a gumshoe! Or a riverbo-- I mean, sea captain!
