With my vicoprophen scrip and this, it will be a very merry xmas (and I mean the x). That said, I must say that I was a little confused when I first clicked on this post, thinking that it was about the Joy Division movie.

Once it wears off, he wakes up in the morgue and is offered a choice: submit to McGuffitin OTC testing, or get executed for real. When he agrees, he's given Antagress every six hours. It being a McGuffin, I guess the fine points don't really matter. Again: Jesus, making out with Clare Chancellorsdottir. Hard to subject that to any kind of rigorous plotting requirements. @Sandman: Sorry, I wasn't clear about that — he's actually given a sedative when he's in the death chamber.

So Big Bad Pharma's McGuffin Capsule helps the criminal element recover from ... death? How is that not the bigger deal? Recidivism, pfff. @Jaybird: Are we still supposed to take Defoe seriously after <i>Spiderman</i>? I'm guessing no. "... second coming of Klaus Kinski," hee. I know Tim DeKay mostly from his tv journeyman guest star-slash-H!ITG work, but I love what he's doing on <i>White Collar</i> right now. And please stop making that face, Ray Liotta.

Seems a lot like Liotta ought to drawl "O my bruthah" somewhere along the way. I know we're supposed to take Dafoe very seriously, because he's done edgy stuff and is seemingly fearless about his acting choices, but: He's Willem Dafoe. He's the second coming of Klaus Kinski, and he lives in little kids' closets, y'all. Old boy literally scares the hell out of me, which makes for extra housework. Ellen, I thought that too.

And I happen to think he's pretty fine - AND to like sideburns (no, I do NOT have a Quentin Collins fixation, why do you keep ASKING me that??). However, in the above shot, it looks as if someone dug around for that really BIG fish-eye lens, and used it where it would turn out the most appalling results. EEEeeeYARGH, bad shot of Ray Liotta!

Also, that is Ray Liotta in that pic? Eesh, not good. The story sounds like it has a few things in common with "A Clockwork Orange". Also, that is Ray Liotta in that pic? Eesh, not good.
