I loathed Rockwell in IM2, but generally enjoy his work.
Now we're saving a vampire from vampires. I got two words for that -- Nuh and uh.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
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.

I looooooooove Sam Rockwell.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Sam Rockwell can definitely revel in the cheese, but I'd never thought of Ed Norton as typecast (and Rockwell is convincing to me when he makes serious, like Moon), and Ed looks incredibly normal (with a H'wood sheen) and not skeevy.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Sam Rockwell as Guy in Galaxy Quest won me over for life. I also love Confessions of a Dangerous Mind a whole hell of a lot.
He can be annoying as hell, but usually because he's cast to be that way (Xaphrod, his role in Seven Psychopaths, etc.).
"Oh that's just not right!!!"

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Sam Rockwell is *fantastic* in Moon. Tiny movie, but a really smart, thoughtful Sci-Fi. Rockwell IS the entire movie and he carries it marvellously. Based on that and Source Code, I'm also keen to see what Duncan Jones (son of David Bowie) will do next.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Bowie wrote the song "Kooks" to his newborn son, then known as Zowie.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Sam Rockwell's appearances in Galaxy Quest, HGTTG, and Moon have more or less made me a fan for life. (And unlike Ed Norton, I don't know anything about him being a giant assberet off set.)
The only time I enjoyed Norton was when he was dressed as Barney in a black comedy.
I *LOVE* Death To Smoochy. OMG, that movie was fantastic.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Veronica Mars is busy making out with Seth Cohen (reference to last House of Lies episode), she can't come to the phone right now.
