i admit without reserve that i like cillian murphy. and part of the appeal is that i haven't yet seen him in anything truly bad. until tonight. "watching the detectives", with lucy liu. i know, not the most likely combination anyway. but it was supposed to be quirky, about a guy who owned a video store and this kooky girl. i thought i'd give myself a break from my usual routine of somewhat weightier subjects.
i should have stuck to weightier. the acting was mediocre, the plot flimsy, and i was just incredibly uninterested. the film geeks were just a little too geeky, and anyway, wrong. in "butch cassidy and the sundance kid", etta goes out with sundance, not butch. i lasted half an hour.
although i will have the elvis costello song in my head for the rest of the night. if you'll pardon me, i'm going to go and watch some more 'brideshead revisited", episode two.
