Crudup and Wilson

Rating: Null/10 (18 March 2009)

Billy Crudup and Patrick Wilson are two of the young actors I follow and wait for with a certain amount of longing. So imagine my shock. I always refer to them as "pure actors" the kind of actor that will never go for the buck. I, naturally, forgot the power of the buck but in this case is terribly depressing. I'm sure the "Watchmen" have a following but so did Charles Manson. I love movies and very rarely use the word "hate" referring to a movie but this time I was tempted. I even stayed for its interminable and unendurable length. I must grant you that it may just be me. A generational thing but that doesn't prevent my depression. I had to run and watch "Angeles In America", "Little Children", "Jesus's Son" and "Stage Beauty" to fall in love with Crudup and Wilson all over again and eliminate the sense of disgust that "Watchmen" provoked in me.
