I just wish it wasn't happening so close on the Life on Mars debacle. And which I'm feeling pissy everytime I have to see Russell looking hideously puffy and scruffy in that, I'll probably calm down and go back to brooding over the pukesome horror of the Torchwood spoilers.
The last time I found Russell Crowe tolerable (or slashy) was in Proof with Hugo Weaving.
IF it were Affleck as Stephen and somebody else as Cal, I'd probably be a little better with the whole thing. I thought Affleck did an amazing job in Hollywoodland and I could actually see him conveying the self-loathing that goes along with Stephen in the original, although from the promos and the descriptions, I'm not sure if that part of the character has survived the translation.
