Yeaaaaaah!

Okay, lotsa stuff happening. Big update coming soon.

Until then, there's this little montage of what happens when you use the same tricks over and over.

I actually used to like David Caruso. In early movies like MAD DOG AND GLORY and even in the first few seasons of NYPD Blue, he underplayed scenes nicely, had a good intensity, and especially had this habit of looking down or away from the other character in the scene as a way of playing up the emotion in a scene. Showing, like a lot of guys, he reflex was to withdraw a little when he had to reveal a little honest emotion. It's the kind of thing people do all the time, but actors rarely do, since they're trained to maintain eye contact with their scene partner.

Now, alas, Caruso's neat little technique has become a crutch and a bit of a cliche. Ah well, we'll always have JADE.
