Edward: "Why does this man continue to get work?" Probably cuz he's the most exciting actor around, in my not-so-humble opinion. Honestly, the way he uses his body and facial features from the inside out, in THE PROPOSITION (and BIRTH) especially, are both sublime and sly and sometimes silly in the best way possible.
When he came into MARIE ANTOINETTE for a second, my eyes widened. Mick LaSalle told me IVANSXTC is one of the best of the decade, but it's out of print on DVD. His smile was one of the only good things in THE CONSTANT GARDNER.
I can't wait to see him in FADE TO BLACK, wherein he plays Orson Welles. But, as Matt said, different strokes, I suppose. I just hope you give him another chance.
And I kept my nose out of it before but I gotta say something now. THE PROPOSITION keeps bugging me, gnat gnawing at my subconscious and that's a very good thing. I'm not as trustworthy right out the gate on a movie, it takes me a little while to put it all together, evidenced by my near 180 on MI-VI (I started at about 45 degrees).
Plus, those cuts to black were crucial, especially after the spearing. And it's gorgeous to look at, despite the filth and grime and gruesome head-shots. And I'm the biggest Danny Huston fan I know.
One of the best murder ballads Nick Cave has written yet. Also, have you seen his recent handlebar mustache? That mother is one fine piece of cultivation.
