One of my favorite actors

I WISH They'd found a way to embrace our world class directors time for him to find his timing in such a delicate piece. All the elements were there and I just have such admiration for Tomas Alfredson, who has made wonderful films before and will again. i was so proud to be a part of his creation and process. a real gent. And of course michael Fassbender is COMPLETELY ABSURD. He's to handsome and too funny and too witty and to talented and too clever and too Irish and too cool and too nice and now he's married our ingrid Bergman and they will have perfect children and another form of master race will form but this time around it will be formed by perfect poets and beauties. I can t wait.
but I got lost s while back and stoppe explaining where i am. 2 days ago I land in Florida to to make up shows cause i had family business that kept me from doing sold out shows in 3 different cities I've sold out months ago. Well I just might move to West Palm Beach. The audience was so kind to me i kind a took my breath away. I mean, over and over they told me how this film and that one and this one no wait this one was their most meaningful and why. And why i'm being so vain is that for so many years i've been in a kind of self imposed exile t write. you have the opportunity as a writer to collect and PRECISELY lay out your core beliefs, and in such a way that you have no excuses, you have to say, this is, this half baked chicken is all i got to say about the world this week or this month and i hope its good enough. after YEARS of notes and talking outlaid to yourself like you are at the moment or past it when you are about to die, imagine your son who has heard you talk like this instead of yourself at least half his life, imagine for real, your daughter trying to even put up with the tightest slightest legit parenting when you start your day getting dressed in an all while taffeta little something... i mean wig fittings and shoes being fitted and built and hand made suits and picking the right white out of the 458 different recognized shades of "white" and which still to cut and which joke to try on tonight and reviewing each and every improv that worked and "What the one that keeps flooring them that i forget to put back in,,,,,,,, grrrrrrr come on mind, come back to me. Shoot, its gone...;/ (spirit gum had in it some sort of brain sap...) anyhow, when it all comes together and its a seamless gossamer web of the best your got, and you achieve the closest thing to perfection you can hope for on stage, what I call in my play, "Lets call it eloquence..." (Heres some more quotes I'm feeling quotey today, quotes from my play as i listen to David Bowies, Lazarus. What a rush....
****** folks work on de Mississippi, ****** folks work while de white folks play, Pullin' dose boats from de dawn to sunset, Gittin' no rest till de judgement day.
Don't look up An' don't look down, You don' dast make De white boss frown. Bend your knees An' bow your head, An' pull date rope Until you' dead.
Let me go 'way from the Mississippi, Let me go 'way from de white man boss; Show me dat stream called de river Jordan, Dat's de ol' stream dat I long to cross.
O' man river, Dat ol' man river, He mus' know sumpin', But don't say nuthin' He jes' keeps rollin', He keeps on rollin' along.
You n' me, we sweat an' strain, Body all achin' an' racket wid pain, Tote dat barge! Lif' dat bale! Git a little drunk, An' you land in jail.
Ah gits weary, An' sick of tryin' Ah'm tired of livin', An' scared of dyin', But ol' man river, He jes' keeps rolling' along.
Dat ol' man river just keeps on rollin' on...
The difference between the right word and the wrong one is the same as lightning to the lightning bug. You know, Mrs. Eddy made it into the Webster's new International unabridged dictionary adding to the definition of God. Listen here, "Incorporeal, divine, Supreme, infinite Principle, Mind, Soul, Spirit, Life, Truth, Love". That ladies and gentlemen, is eloquence. I couldn't have written that. She has taken on a God without judgment!
The suns and planets that form the constellations of the billion billion solar systems and go pouring, a tossing flood of shinning globes, through the viewless arteries of space are the blood corpuscles in the veins of God; and the nations, all these countries all these people and all these thoughts, are the microbes that swarm and wiggle and brag in each, and to think God can tell them apart at that distance and has nothing better to do than try. This is the entertainment of an eternity. Blasphemy? No, it is not blasphemy. If God is as vast as that, he is above blasphemy; if He is as little as that, He is beneath it. Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone, you may still exist but you have ceased to live! I share with y'all a religion whose heaven is not put off to another time with a break and a gulf between but begins here and now, and melts into eternity as fancies of the waking day melt into the dreams of sleep.
But children, let me preach to you tonight: All you need is ignorance and confidence and the success is sure. And always tell the truth. Then you don't have to remember anything. I have always preached. If the humor came of its own accord and uninvited I have allowed it a place in my sermon, but I was not writing the sermon for the sake of the humor. I am saying these vain things in this frank way tonight because I am a dead person speaking from the grave. Even I would be too modest to say them in life. I think we never become really and genuinely our entire and honest selves until we are dead- and not then, until we have been dead years. People ought to start dead and then they would be honest so much earlier.
I feel I am fading now. This happens every now and again. Oh I left my beautiful home and family to go off, a Tramp Abroad, to pay my debts. I tried to speculate. I got greedy. I went crazy. I didn't read the signs. Shall I read some Huckleberry Finn? Alright, I'll be your Huckleberry! The 13 year-old-son of the town drunk. Huck was hated by all the mothers, because he was idle and lawless and vulgar and bad--so all their children admired him and wished to be like him. He was the only really independent person, boy or man, in the community. Huckleberry came and went, at his own free will. He slept on doorsteps and under trees and he did not have to go to school or to church; and he could swear wonderfully. In a word, everything that goes to make life precious, that boy had. And for this reason, I suppose, he was continually happy. I, can't go back on the river again tonight Lord. The California-gold rush-get-rich-quick disease of my youth spread like wildfire, all the way up to Wall Street. It produced a civilization which has destroyed the simplicity and repose of life; replaced its contentment, its poetry, its soft romance dreams and visions with the money fever, sordid ideals, vulgar ambitions, and the sleep which does not refresh; it has invented a thousand useless luxuries, and turned them into necessities and satisfied nothing; it has dethroned God and set up a shekel in His place. Oh the dreams of our youth. How beautiful they are, and how perishable.
Lets, come to accounts now, shall we? I can't feel my left leg. If the world comes to an end, I don't want to be in the city of Angels. I want to be in Australia. Everything there comes, ten years too late
Blackout. [Halley's Comet streaks across the pitch black stage]
TWAIN: [In black- into a mike] Fruck This is fructifying Dirty pool Lord. What of the most important question in the world? I know it , and aim to answer it. May I stay a while, we, I wasn't a'tall finished. What's that Lord? Can't, hear, you. [Pause] Really? You don't say? I'm flattered- Oh glory! Oh the unknowable, known. The Family of man... I see now. O I see.
I have been loved before, but this is a masterpiece!

I'll admit there are large stretches of nothing, but that's a great list for an actor. Plus he was Doc f'ing Holliday.
no it was directed by David Mamet (also wrote Ronin) and is about the First Daughter getting kidnapped and the secret service trying to get her back.MW03 said:
that's the prison one that was basically straight to video with the bad guy from Blade, right? That movie is super solid.
