Very underrated character arc/plot line — The Homecoming, The Circle, The Seige

I’m not saying these episodes aren’t well regarded but I just don’t hear them talked about much. I loved Richard Beymer’s character and the fact this was the first Star Trek 3-parter and each episode was consistent in quality, culminating in a great ending was a turning point for the series.

Just watched this for the first time since James passing away. Still think it’s his greatest performance. Sean Bateman a disturbed individual but James Van Der Beek played him, not as evil, but as someone who doesn’t have the tools to express himself properly.

Deep Space Nine was the superior series because of its character development and willingness to take morally gray turns in its storytelling

Mike channeling Travis Bickle. I was genuinely worried for the safety of those around him at this time.

Just watched Speed Racer (2008) for the first time

I have now completed the entire filmography of The Wachowskis after finally watching this. Lots of fun. It’s so silly and lighthearted but committed, which is what makes it good. It doesn’t poke fun at the material and instead, embraces it. I loved the cast and thought Christina Ricci stood out as really understanding the assignment. It also made me wish Matthew Fox was in more movies. I watched the new 4K UHD release and the film looks amazing. Love the bold visual style. It’s so ”over” stylized that transcends into being experimental. Only negative I really have is the sound in some of the dialogue scenes being kind of off, especially compared to how consistent the sound is during the action sequences.

You can be a great actor but not be in good projects. These are two talented actors that I think also have some of the most consistent yet varied filmographies:

•My top 3 Hopkins:

The Elephant Man, Magic, The Remains of the Day

•My top 3 Dafoe:

Wild At Heart, The Lighthouse, To Live and Die in L.A.
