Shoulda got an Oscar nom for his Kim, if only so the trailer scene would be his nom clip.
He was also pretty sleazy & good in ilx non-favorite Before The Devil Knows You're Dead.

I like Bug a lot, and he's a big part of that. Looking forward to Take Shelter; this thread is reminding me to catch up w/ Shotgun Stories.

He's actually a pal of mine. If you want to see him do something really broad and comic, he's actually funny and over-the-top as a mobster in Kangaroo Jack. Also very good in his one scene in Before The Devil Knows You're Dead and his one scene in Lucky You.
I've thought for a while that he's basically going to have a body of work similar to Walken and Keitel in retrospect.

i was exposed to him in the wonderful shotgun stories when it was recommended to me as a complement to my period of extreme (pre-comedy) david gordon green obsession
can't wait to see take shelter

jeez, I hope he departs from the Walken track around 1992

I also don't remember him in Bad Lt:POCNO, so I'm gonna have to see that other Herzog film where he's the lead.

My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done provided easily my most surreal screening experience ever, but I wouldn't exactly call it "good."

Blurb for underrated aerosmith:
"I like the guy; it’s not like I don’t like him. He has a very interesting voice, that’s for sure. But I like his lyrics. I don’t know if I’d want to go to a [aerosmith] concert, though. I think I would probably drink too much beer and get tired."--Michael Shannon

I like this guy because he’s like an animal. I like when he starts screaming because he’s got a really badass voice. It’s Isaac Brock, right?AVC: Yeah.MS: I hear he’s kind of hard to go on tour with. But rock’s not for squares, I guess.

Weird, the Random Rules linked above has disappeared. I didn't realise underrated aerosmith had so much influence.

But yeah, wasn't a fan if this guy at first mostly on account of not being impressed with Revolutionary Road and Shotgun Stories, but after seeing Bug and now Take Shelter, I'm sold on him. His Kim Fowley was fun too, the very best thing about a meh of a movie.
