I am a fan of Angel Heart for reasons that have nothing to do with
Mickey Rourke. The more interesting casting, for me, is Sam Rockwell,
a quirky but fascinating actor who is woefully under used by
Hollywood.

We think much alike in that star casting thing. I don't know that I'd cast

Funny. You dislike and like Atlantis and SG-1 for the very reasons I like and
dislike them.
So i take it you didn't like the addition of Ben Browder and Claudia Black to
the cast? Didn't like the Ori storyline, or the resolution of the G'ould and
the Milky Way Replicator storylines?
I was remiss not to mention Octavia Butler's Fledgling during our
discussion of Vampire Favorites last month.

They did the same to the male doctor and the young black guy who became
part wraith. Saying we have a really good storyline is not for the actors
but for the fans who protest the casting change. The actors know they are
out. That is why Higginson refused to play the replicator part this year.
