HBO's "Game Change"

Totally true.

I remember seeing Ted Danson in the small cameo role in "Saving Private Ryan" and thinking to myself, "What the hell is Sam Malone doing in World War II?"

Some actors can never get away from the character that has made them famous. When I see Woody, I always see the Indiana farmboy who told stories of his weird relatives in a bar.

 

I though WH was excellent in "No Country for Old Men." "Cheers" may be his best-known role, but he's still a fairly talented actor. And Ted Danson was pretty good in 'Body Heat."

As for Sarah Palin, I think she totally epitomizes how sstyle has completely replaced any substance in much of national politics. I don't think she could effectivley lead the local PTA.

 

I'm surprised anyone still thinks of Woody Harrelson as Woody from Cheers these days. He's been in so damn many movies since then, sometimes in very iconic roles, I barely think of Cheers anymore.

 

Cheers went off TV 19 years ago. It's not even on most of the rerun channels any more.

 

That doesn't bother me. I still like Schmidt. I'd love to see him take a job with a moderate Democrat.

Schmidt was very much the "tragic hero" of this tale. Yes, he made a huge mistake picking Palin. He created the monster. That's on him. But his reasons for picking her were not wrong. There's NO WAY a McCain-Pawlenty ticket would've won. I applaud his boldness-- he was just too reckless. If he'd picked a different woman.....

 

He'll always be Billy to me.
