I ain't no patsy, what I am... what I am is late, I gotta wrap this up.

I officially adore Eric Roberts as Sal Vincent MaMoroni.

These Gotham Cable News segments have been totally fun, although every single one of these actors needs to stop with the Shatner-like dramatic pauses. It breaks the authenticity.

But as for Roberts, he looks like he's totally having a good time, and it's rather infectious. He's the perfect counterpoint to Tom Wilkinson's snarling pit bull Carmine Falcone: a smug, self-assured, charming sleazebag, and god damn if I don't love the Guido accent to boot. Depending on how the film goes, I might just have to rework my Harvey Dent novel version of the character around Robert's performance.

I've gotta say, I hope the trailer is misleading (in the sense of the scene from my icon here). I hope we actually do get Moroni's day in court, if you know what I mean.

In the excitement for HELLBOY II and THE DARK KNIGHT, I had actually forgotten X-FILES was coming out this month.

Fifteen minutes ago, the trailer came on TV, and I swear to god, I did the crazy old prospector/Walter Huston from TREASURE OF SIERRA MADRE dance.

This is a FUCK of a year for geek movies.
