Seriously, he was one of our finest actors, who seemed to have had a blast playing COS Leo McGarry on The West Wing (which I’d call one of the finest dramas in television history.) these past 7 years.
He will be missed.
If you haven’t already, I strongly recommend you check out Season One and Season Two of The West Wing. They’re only $20 each on Amazon.
Palisades Toys, who created those awesome Muppet Show action figures, have just announced that they have acquired the license for Jim Henson’s Labyrinth , and plan to release David Bowie as The Goblin King in 2006!
HackingNetflix has an interesting article about how DVD sales are slowing and people can’t figure out why. However, nobody’s mentioned my theory, that in the 8-10 years that DVDs have been out, most of peoples wishlists for movies they’d like to repurchase in a new format have been filled. Most of the big milestones are either done (citizen kane, casablanca, most of the rest of the IMDB 250) or coming (King Kong, Batman, etc).
Halle Berry received the Razzie (otherwise known as the anti-Oscar®, given to the worst films/performances of the year) for her…um…stirring performance in CrapCatwoman.
Instead of getting all huffy, she showed up to accept her award and recreated her Oscar® speech, tears and all, before proceeding to thank Warner Brothers for “casting her in this piece of shit movie”
