Sunset Limited to be an HBO movie, directed by Tommy Lee Jones, acted by Jones and Samuel L. Jackson! Hard to even imagine what that one's like performed. On the page it's even more of a direct assault than his very "hey, quit it" last two novels proper.

I really, really liked Jones' Three Deaths of Melquiades Estrada, though it got his daughter her Mad Men role I'm not always thrilled with [EDIT: not his daughter (Meatwad voice: I dumb)]. One of those actors who annoys you by doing some things real well and rather ruining those by screwing up others. Not that she's un-metonymic of the show in general in that regard.

God there's a lot of interesting information in this post I somehow didn't know.

I had no idea that Tommy Lee was the père of January.

The latter's often wooden delivery of her lines, though, has always struck me as appropriate to her character, who's always playing a part.

He isn't her father. I'm waiting for the punch line.

Ha! I just assumed, based on last name + being unactorly.

It would be sort of miraculous for a man who looks like him to father a woman who looks like her.... actorliness or lack thereof aside.

Good point.
