The Gaul Of It
Late Saturday evening, Katheryn and I ordered our first "On Demand" movie from TimeWarner cable… We were a little unsure how the "On Demand" service worked… after finding the appropriate menu chan-nel (920 in San Antonio) the ordering and previewing of the available pictures made it somewhat easy to order our movie. There weren't too many movies that we were thrilled to check out… We both had an interest in catching "King Kong" and another movie (possible bi-opic) called We didn't know very much about the movie or the director before watching it… All I needed to know was that it starred two of my favorite actors Peter Sarsgaard and Campbell Scott
The film is a bizarre love-triangle tale involving Peter & Campbell… with Campbell's wife (Patricia Clarkson if you can stomach her) finding out about her husbands bi-sexual ways and getting even with Peter by impersonating his dead (ex-lover) as a GHOST, with a Internet Relay Chat Account…
The film takes place in the mid 90's… at the height of online chat-rooms…Makes me wonder that if it were set in present day… if Patricia would have contacted Campbell by MySpace or by commenting on his blog….
I felt the film was a total mess… Highly recommend that everyone pass on this picture if ever presented with the option of watching it. Do however check out the screen writers other flick - The Secret Lives of Dentists.

As I mentioned to you earlier, The Dying Gaul was a play a few years ago. It might have worked better as a play.
I think "the new york doll" you refer to is actually New York Doll, the documentary about Arthur "Killer" Kane. It's good but not fantastic in my opinion.
You don't like Patricia Clarkson?
Regarding your other post...punk rock spoon!
>You don't like Patricia Clarkson?
It's not so much that I like Patricia Clarkson... I just don't understand why people like her.
How old is she by the way? On Six Feet Under she came across as a character in her 50's.
I dug her (sorta) in the Station Agent.
