powers boothe is a highly underrated actor

[datasuspect]

i can't think of any role he's played that i didn't like. yes, even the jet pilot in red dawn.

i think he would whip stacy keach's ass with a belt.

A chilling Jim Jones.......n/t

8. Just the thought of that movie sends shivers up my spine.

1. He's great.

Best role is either Jim Jones or Curly Bill in Tombstone.

2. I thought his best role was Cy Tolliver in "Deadwood"

The slick but demented brothel owner. Boothe was titanic in that. He was also a great Philip Marlowe (in the unjustly ignored HBO series from the '80s) and Red Dawn is almost watchable when he's in it.

3. Sorry to thread-jack here but...DUDE! I'm a huge Harlan Ellison fan!

Love the quote in your sig line. Here's a pic of me with The Master:

4. That's cool!

Whenever I want to be depressed, I reflect on the fact that Uncle Harlan wrote the passage in my sig file in 1969...

6. It's continuing relevance is a testament to the fact that NOTHING

has changed since then, except to get worse.

We return you now to the original thread topic.

I wasn't too thrilled with Powers Booth in "Tombstone". He did too much of what I like to call "tongue-laughing". Watch the film again and you'll get what I mean. Plus, he was too old to play Curly Bill Brocius; The real Curly Bill was thirty when Wyatt Earp blew him in half. Booth was at least in his mid-forties when the film was made.

5. Excellent in Sin City.

7. He was good in Southern Comfort too...a very

damn good movie, with a lot of well known actors...:)
