Did I mention I'm in love with this man?

Your poor friend, I would have been devastated if he were my idol. His poor family. I like Joaquin as an actor but I wouldn't pin him up. Just seems a little too angry for my taste.

No one. I haven't seen this! Gotta see it. I love Vince and Janeane!

You haven't??? Go to your nearest Blockbuster or Hollywood Video or whatever and rent it NOW. (Or better yet, buy it!) It's one of my all time favorite movies, and Vince Vaughn is hilarious yet oh so creepy in it.

Amazon.com Editorial Review:

Set in Montana's Big Sky country, shot in Utah, lensed by Eric Alan Edwards (cinematographer of My Own Private Idaho)--no wonder it's hard to tell where Clay Pigeons lives, or where it's going. A Ridley Scott protégé previously at home in commercials and videos, debuting director David Dobkin aims to deliver us into the blackly comedic badlands of neo-noir, territory mined by the likes of Red Rock West and Fargo. Pigeons launches strongly, with several cruel turns of the screw. Out target-shooting, Clay Birdwell (Joaquin Phoenix) is hit with the news that his best pal knows he's been boffing his ur-slut wife (Georgina Cates) and could take Clay out on the spot, but chooses a creepier revenge--committing suicide in order to frame the guy who's cuckolded him. Naturally, Clay covers up the mess, thereby opening the film's can of very nasty worms. A slick, fast-talking cowboy (Vince Vaughn)--the funhouse-mirror-opposite of Phoenix's sweet, slow farmboy--turns up, and a string of ugly murders begins to play out. Once Vaughn's Lester Long is on the scene, spreading his psychotically giggling bonhomie, Dobkin's skin-deep riff on Hitchcock's Strangers on a Train pretty much belongs to him. The rest of the cast looks more or less like clay pigeons set up by a scattershot script: exceptions include the always-estimable Scott Wilson who transforms his caricature-prone Sheriff Mooney into a character of nuanced humanity, and Janeane Garofalo, as an urban-hip FBI agent, whose single-chick sarcasm goes down in flames when Lester unholsters those big guns of come-hither charm. John Lurie of Lounge Lizards fame contributes a distinctive score, but Elvis Presley acts as the film's patron saint in more ways than one: Clay Pigeons' sexiest, scariest wet work is choreographed to "It's Now or Never." --Kathleen Murphy

I love that movie (I *love* Janeane, as evidenced by my avatar). So twisted and funny.

Romy

My thoughts exactly. They will be the ones to watch on Oscar night!

OMFG

I saw "Walk the Line" last night.

He was AMAZING.

If they don't give him the Oscar for this one I'm going to boyc... wait, I've been doing that for years. I don't know what I'll do if he doesn't get it, but I'll come up with something!!!

I love his harelip scar. I like little scares on the face.

Me too. I was in sixth grade, I think. What happened to their sisters? I know one is married to Casey Affleck. (Summer, maybe?)

I love it too. A friend of mine actually just had a little argument about that because she doesn't get why I like him.

"But he's got a cleft palette!" says she.

"No... just a little scar now and it's damn sexy." says I.
And then I point out the fact that she thinks Vin Diesel is hot and therefore has no taste in men.

I can't say I'm particularly fond of scary faces.

Scars are cool and very sexy. To me it means a person is tough and strong. They endured injury and pain to the body and survived. Every scar tells a story.
