    Alan Tudyk is being typecast as a guy who dies suddenly and unexpectedly in movies

    and that is wrong

    Speaking of which -
    Is there a reason they killed him off in Serenity with such abruptness? As a main character his death could have had some weight, and I suppose in a way it did, but it just seemed so sudden. I just wonder if there was some on-set friction or something or if this was how it was always supposed to go.
    I remember reading or hearing at some point that Whedon wanted to make it very clear as he put things in the shit that he might just kill everyone to finish up the Serenity story, and he had to make us believe that might happen, hence doing the hard part of killing the loveable Wash.
    Yeah, it did shock the shit out of me the first time so I suppose it worked. But damn...Wash. Kill the whore, or maybe River...
    Whedon is a callous bastard. In Angel, the most likeable character was probably Wesley. So he puts him through hell. First, a prophecy gets planted that leads Wesley to send Angel's son to some hell planet dimension. As it turns out, not necessary, but he gets his throat slit anyway while doing it. Then when Angel finds out he was behind it, he tries to smother him in the hospital bed. Eventually, things are mended between them, and everything is looking up, and his love interest for the past three seasons, Winifred, hooks up with him and everything is great and then Whedon kills off Fred, and has her soul burned into nothingness by a demon god that then becomes a regular character. And then Wesley dies suddenly in the last episode. And then, in the comic, he gets turned into the ghost-servant of an evil law firm for eternity. Goddamn.

    Honestly I think 3:10 to Yuma had the best final action scene of any movie ever made.
    Once Russel Crowe starts shooting everyone.

    What was best about that was
    You otherwise never really see just how incredibly talented Crowe's character was. There are hints here and there, like how he just took out the Indians, but you don't get the same impact as in the end. He was almost totally action-less throughout the movie, or at least in the strict traditional western "shoot at people" sense. Then BAM. Just blows like 5 people away. You really get a bigger sense of just how incredibly easy it would've been for him to escape if he hadn't been intrigued and self-assured by the entire event.

    in an only slightly related note, I want to see that The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford movie.
    I've heard Casey Affleck is a favourite for best actor for what he did in that movie. That's pretty interesting.
    I really have to see that movie.

    I sent an email to the local radio station to get Casey taken off their Shit Siblings List after seeing that movie, and to be replaced by Ben.

    But he did a really good job directing Casey in Gone Baby Gone

    Yeah but Casey was extra super awesome in Gone Baby Gone.

    And Casey has never been part of a celebrity tabloid romance compound nickname.

    Hell, 3:10 to Yuma itself proves that both douchebags (Crowe) and non-douches (Bale) can be great actors

    If it comes out on the 10th, as least there's a gimmick to appreciate while you hate your terrible country.

    Also
    I didnt like the way he killed off the preacher. Im sure he had a whole lot more story to him but he got snuffed out after a few lines. BUGGER!

    and 3:10 to Yuma had
    the best late night forking scene.
