Don't forget about Rampart. Let's talk about Rampart, people.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Re: What movies are you watching?
I like him a lot. But he would never make my list of favorite actors. He does his thing, does it well enough and is always serviceable. Every once in a while he really shines (like True Detective).lennytheweedwhacker wrote:i can see where dct would feel that way, but i'm a big woody fan too
Loved him on Cheers and I really like him in Wag the Dog, too.

But, yeah, I don't really have a "problem" with Woody in any of these. Except maybe Hunger Games.durdencommatyler wrote:tragabigzanda wrote:Oof, I feel like you're undervaluing Woody's unique brand of kook. Just consider:

Oh that's right! I remember him now. I Googled some images. Yeah, he's easily the most forgettable part of an all around amazing film. I love the fuck out of that movie.lennytheweedwhacker wrote:that's extremely disrespectful to no country for old men

Re: What movies are you watching?
Yeah, I can dig that. You probably value him more in those roles than I, but he certainly isn't bad in those.tragabigzanda wrote:For the record, I'm judging his performances apart from the overall movies. I don't like Natural Born Killers at all; I find it to be a very unpleasant and needlessly "loud" movie, but I think he's fantastic in his role. Larry Flynt is also not a great movie, but I thought he was excellent.durdencommatyler wrote:tragabigzanda wrote:Oof, I feel like you're undervaluing Woody's unique brand of kook. Just consider:
