Genie, Robert Duval once urged southern actors to take arms against those who tried to play them. My father once told me about a movie he'd seen where someone played an inarticulate mountain man, and was absolutely believable. I said was it Robert Duval? Turned out it was, Tomorrow, based on the Faulkner story.

Kim C, you're so funny. I love Holly Hunter, but don't think she can get around the accent. The reason we have to see Harvey Kietel naked is a contract he has with our government, like the one that Depardeau has wherein he must appear in every French movie. Keitel plays Houdini in a movie called Fairy Tale--and isn't naked. (I saw Long Riders again, Dennis Quaid as Dennis Quaid as Ed Miller. He seemed more like some other actor playing him playing the character.)

The urban kids in Larry Clark's Kids were individually believable, but not in groups. Very odd, all comfortable, tribal.

Chloe Sevigny as a woman who gets a social disease the first time she has sex, in Kids, also in Last Days of Disco, and somewhere else, I've heard.
