He's a really, really good actor.
I was impressed with the way he was so completely at ease, physically, when he was dressed as a woman, but totally awkward and uncomfortable, physically, when he was dressed as a man.
Never goes smooth. How come it never goes smooth?

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Including 2001 doesn't really seem fair.
I have to agree. "Wildly inaccurate predictions of the future," maybe. But if 2001 belongs because it got 30 years in the future wrong, Minority Report also belongs there.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I think including 2001 was a joke.

Ann, that's a ferret.
OK. I could go along with that.

I really enjoyed Kinky Boots as well. Chiwetel was amazing. And strikes me as a sane guy, despite his great talent.
He and Jeffery Wright really impress me in that way.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
And strikes me as a sane guy, despite his great talent.
Surely you're not lending credence to a correlation between insanity and talent?

Sometimes, yeah.
Dali, Van Gogh, Terrence Howard.
Sometimes the very pretty cracker just can't seem to hold onto the cheese.

What about all those crazy people with no talent and all those talented people with no crazy? Causation is romantic and all that, but I don't see the evidence for it.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Man, that's a thing that drives ME crazy. See also, great writers must be alcoholics/drug addicts.
