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.

Well, you needn't worry about the above-posted video, as it's a clipless stand-alone "interview" featuring characters from the film. A mini-movie in its own right. But I certainly understand if you want to play it super-safe. After all, for my part, that damn Two-Face image is floating around out there...
