Anybody see that our lovely Mr. Ron Glass is in a new movie with Samuel Jackson? Don't think I can watch it just 'cause those type of escalation movies get me stressed out, but I'd love it if somebody'd review his character...

On a completely unrelated note, I find it ironic that Joss would have choosen Book's character to have such a soothing voice and yet the character itself was so chaotic and conflicted...

I just looooove Ron Glass's voice, it's so...sultry.

Other men with great voices- Kelsey Grammer, Sam Elliot, Kurt Russel, Orson Welles ... Anybody think of any others??? Kathleen Turner maybe...

Saw him in the trailer and it made me smile and want to see the movie even more. I would have gone to see this film anyways. It reminded me a lot of HOUSE OF SAND AND FOG, which I think is a completely underrated and powerful film. Jennifer Connelly at her finest as a completely broken woman, and Ben Kingsley reminding everyone why he's such a great actor. You see the former trying to kill herself with a gun in her mouth and the latter covered in blood, praying to God that he will build a thousand mosques if he saves his son. So I think LAKEVIEW TERRACE could be a fantastic, down to earth Clash of the Titans type film with two men who know they are in the right just duking it out.

To me, it's just icing on the cake that one of our BDH's is in a REAL movie with real actors (Jackson, Patrick Wilson) and a great writer director (Neil LaBute, whose only real career dud was the remake of THE WICKER MAN) at the helm.While it's great to see half the cast in various tv shows and such, with the exception of Alan, they all seem stuck doing genre stuff. Which don't get me wrong, it's good they're paying the bills and such and getting exposure. But it doesn't exactly get them working with real filmmakers in truly great films. While Josh Brolin and Kelly MacDonald were great in their roles in NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN, part of me would like to be in a parallel universe that has Adam Baldwin and Jewel Staite as Lewellyn Moss and Carla Jean. And I doubt any of them will be working with Martin Scorsese anytime soon.

So Ron in a Neil LaBute filn is what is call upward mobility.

Totally agree with Orson Welles. Try to find F FOR FAKE on DVD, his last film. At one point, he reads a bit of Kipling, and it's one of the best readings of poetry I've ever heard. Keifer Sutherland I also think has a great voice. Aside from the end, his entire role in PHONE BOOTH was just a voice over. And that role was so fracking great. He has that great raspy tone in his voice that makes for both really good heroes and villains. And he has range too. If you see him in DARK CITY as this sniveling, Peter Lorre type, you'd never think that he'd go on to play Jack Bauer.
