There should be a name for that moment when you’re watching an older movie you’ve seen three or four times before and you realize an actor you like has been in it all along -“Holy shit that’s Dean Norris!” or “Holy shit that’s Carver from The Wire!”
Also I’m gonna get to work on a “Holy shit that’s Dean Norris!” super-cut from all his “Holy shit that’s Dean Norris” moments. (Gattaca, T2, Lethal Weapon 2, etc…)

I’ve been getting my “Up” on lately. Bruce and Nick are my faves. Don’t tell me what happens in 42 Up I haven’t watched it yet.

And I guess another one of the neat things about Netflix is that you’ll end up with 200 movies in a list and you don’t really remember why they’re there. It took me months to find the mood and time to chip through a few selects from a top ten horror movies list Chad Hartigan made halloweens ago. Some of this stuff I guess is because some director I like mentioned it in some interview somewhere. Maybe a movie is there for an actor I like, maybe from when I was in that Eric Bana phase. Sleep Dealer was there because of some website’s “Top Ten Sci Fi Films of the Past Ten Years” list, I think, and who knows when I read it and when it ended up in my queue. I like this weird wish list of movies I might never make it through, and when something neat finally finds the mood and time.
