Watched Cold Mountain last night. It was alright. Pretty good. I mean, it was no Ride With The Devil but it paid respect. I don't know if people have noticed this, but Jude Law is hot. With stubble and a tan and all dirty. Mmmmm. Just Like Tobey Maguire was in Ride With the Devil. Hot. Anyway, I only mention Cold Mountain because I'm trying to figure out why so many good actors were in it in supporting roles, some of which were tiny tiny. Did they all just vacation in Romania that year or what? Philip Seymour Hoffman was in it. I had not known that. And Ray Winstone, and Donald Sutherland, and that woman who played Tom Skeritt's wife in Picket Fences, and Natalie Portman, and that chick from Boomkat, and Giovanni Ribisi, and Cillian Murphy [SO HOT! But in a tiny tiny role], and Jena Malone [even tiny tinier], and that kid who played Caleb in that TV series American Gothic. You remember that one? With Gary Cole as this badass guy in town who may or may not have been the Devil and who had snapped Caleb's big sister's neck to stop her from revealing something and so she began to haunt Caleb. And there were all these ravens... Anyway, back to Cold Mountain's cast. I think that albino killer dude was played by Charlie Hunman, who was that English brat in Young Americans who gave Ian Somerhalder such a hard time for having the hots for a boy who then turned out to be the hotter than hot Katherine Moennig with the great pants from the L Word. By the way, that albino killer dude character was so ripped off from Ride With the Devil, even though Jonathan Rhys Meyers' version wasn't albino, he was still psycho and way more cool. Or maybe the similarity of those two psycho killer characters in civil war back-country movies means that there really was just this psycho guy during the Civil War who wasn't part of the regular army and just loved killing, and so he pops up in a lot in the anecdotal histories upon which a lot of these novels-films draw. And then there was Jack White. Mmmmmmmm. Jack White. Sigh.
