It's amazing if you are snarky like me (I am speaking to you Lisa). Ihave watched some good actors morph over the years into scene chewing John Lithgows. (John Lithgow has always been a scene chewing monster - so I enjoy it with him.)
Here is the line.
Micheal Keaton scuttles around as CIA counter-intelligence guru James Jesus Angleton. Muttering intensely to his orchids, Keaton seems determined to win the William Hurt, no Such Thing as a Supporting Role award.
Those two lines are a thing of beauty. First William Hurt has gone crazy. I think he went into overdrive with "Kiss of the Spiderwoman" and hasn't stopped since. Below is a picture of William Hurt as Duke Leto in Dune (he was in the 6 hour miniseries for about 7 minutes of screen time in the first hour before he was killed. In the picture his is face shows the fear of a giant sandworm. Yikes!!!
Now let's talk about Michael Keaton's name; James Jesus Angleton. For a counter-intelligence guy looking at all the angles. Angleton. Get it? Do you get it, you rubes!?!? And James Jesus. That's subtle. It's like Stephen "here is another rock on the headstone" Spielberg made this shit up.
However I still plan to watch it, it looks great! I will ignore Michael "I am a serious actor, damn it!" Keaton.
