I heart Christopher Guest with an almost unholy glee.
absolutely!
I need to pull out Waiting for Guffman and watch it again. Maybe I'll just do a Christopher Guest marathon this weekend.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

And I'm nodding like a bobblehead at Kathy's love for Studi.
Isn't he fantastic? And he's really good in delivery laconic yet funny lines, too.
And people can actually work with him around?
I couldn't. Luckily I only see him at staff meetings, and he makes for a lovely distraction.
C is Chuck, Barb. Some people play Kiss, Kill, Marry. We play F*ck, Chuck, Marry.
Okay, I wasn't too far off-- I was thinking "cliff." Heh-- lemme go look at my choices again.
I really really wanted to love the Tony Hillerman series on PBS with Studi and Beach. But either the scripts or the direction was off. Each episode just felt like lead. It was painful to watch, despite my love for the actors. Including Sheila Tousey, who I first became acquainted with in Thunderheart.
Studi's been in some really awful movies (Deep Rising, a guilty pleasure, but NOT a good movie), but he always brings a gravity and a believability to his characters.
F: Adam Beach C: Adam Baldwin (Too mercurial) M: Adam Brody (I, too, like 'em nerdy)
The Matts are harder.
F: Matt Cedeno C: Matthew Fox M: Matt Damon
With the Erics, it's
F: Balfour (as long as he doesn't talk, God help us) C: Schweig M: Szmanda
I have an unholy devotion to Schweig. I have to watch Big Eden about three or four times a year because of him.
ETA: The voice. It's his voice. I could just drown in it. 'Course the eyes and the smile and the...yeah. Unholy.
I posted over in Movies about a possible sequel to Dances with Wolves starring Viggo Mortensen as John Dunbar. Lovelovelove this idea!
I'd be willing to wrestle Bev for Schweig. But Adam Beach is a cutiehead.
Manoman. Liv is full of crank this evening. Tired but didn't nap. She let loose because she couldn't find the Dora shirt to her pajamas so she will be going to bed 15 minutes early tonight. Why is everything so dramatic when you're two?
Have I mentioned here that I have a dead ringer for Adam Baldwin in my office?
I can relate. One of my duties in my new job (years ago) was to deal with vendors who either cold called, or dropped in as they did their schedule. Imagine my surprise when I looked up one afternoon and saw Omar Shariff standing in the doorway of my office. I was quite incapable of speech, until he smiled and said, "Is your boss here?" in a voice that could only belong to Barney Fife.
You know how the "Oh, Yeah" song just fizzles when the romance is quashed? Yeah, like that.
