Oh, and paigow, did you see "Empire Falls" on HBO? What did you think? I like Ed Harris, but I don't think that he was a good choice -- Miles is supposed to be a bit of a schlub, and Ed is too cool and handsome for the role. I never would have thought of casting Dennis Farina as Walt, but he's got the perfect blend of aging cockiness.

I know this was directed at Paigow, but I figured I'd throw down too. I was very disappointed. Helen Hunt's terrible Maine accent was overshadowed only by the fact that her face has gotten so thin and drawn she looks like a corpse. Paul Newman was okay, but I think he overplayed the role. And all in all, the adaptation just didn't draw out the characters the way it should have. The narrator was given that function, and the movie suffered terribly for it.
