"You Are the Sunshine of My Life" (Stevie Wonder) ... to counteract: "Ain't No Sunshine (When She's Gone)" ...

Because of this thread, I rented Silence of the Lambs and watched it last night. Ted is so good. What a great build he has, all lean and muscular. He is so creepy in this! It was kinda weird, hearing the Captain's voice coming out of Buffalo Bill!

Just finished watching a dvd of The Fast and The Furious (the original) with my oldest son. I'd call it The Fast and The Frivilous with the price of gas today. My Lord how times change! I saw Ted Levine and now, and are you sitting down, take a deep breath, hold on now, guess what? You'll never guess the role he played, are you ready?........Here it comes....A COP! Bet you weren't ready for that! I heard Ted Levine has signed up for #4, I hope it's not like this one a #2. Luckily for me, I don't have to worry about my kids stealing my car and street racing it. They'd never be caught dead in my beat to crap old Ford Escort. They'd be laughed off the street. LOL!

Just wanted to say "Hello " to all my Monk and TL friends !! Love this site and this thread !!
I hope you all have a good day !! I see the Pilot episode of Monk is on today, a 2 parter back to back !!

It seems that there is never anything decent to watch on TV , so I am always putting on the Monk episodes even if I am reading or online, it is like hearing your friends voices through out the day I guess may only we Monk fans would understand that reasoning .

If you have the chance to see the featurette: Inside the Labyrinth: The Making of 'The Silence of the Lambs' (on the Special 10th Anniversary Edition DVD), it's well worth it for what Ted has to say ... and, especially, to hear him use the word "Icky"!

I didn't know there were extra features!! Oh no, I may just have to buy this version.

Cool !!! You learn something everyday, another reason to love this site/thread !!

I didn't know there was a10th anniversary issue. At the video store where I rented it, they didn't even have it on dvd, I had to see it on tape. Now I have to see this special feature!

Ted of course was excellent in the entire movie, but didn't he die especially well? Very realistic and not overdone.

Thanks Ma Barker for sharing your "take" on The Fast and the Furious". I know the influence it had on all the marines around where I live---they all believed the movie hype and tried to copy the lifestyle of lead characters--Live Fast Die Young---and some of them succeeded. Ted Levine plays yet again another "cop". This one's a little slicker because he wears sunglasses and a goatee with the same old suit and tie but essentially still another version of a "Stot" stock detective. Nothing to write home about. There is definately a lot of muscle in this movie, be it muscle cars or muscle men. Speaking of "beefcake" did you ever get you wish and receive your picture's of Ted Levine or John McCain in a speedo? If not, imagine this, You know when you defrost a turkey for Thanksgiving, and you cut away the plastic and the turkeys got that goosebumpy turkey skin palour to it? Well just imagine slapping a speedo on to that and you got your picture! LOL! I still have not watched my copy of Ali. It is sitting right next to my laptop and I can't force myself to watch it, it's so beautiful outside.



LOL! You know what they say just because there's a little snow on the roof, it don't mean there ain't a fire raging down below! I didn't know Ted Levine was in The Fast and The Furious until my son rented it. When TL first appears in the film when they pull over that young kids car, I thought. Hey! Where"s Disher? Then I remembered this is a different show. Thanks for replying--Gotta Go! Dinner ain't gonna make itself! Talk to you later!

Yes, I will say it again MONK FANS ARE THE Greatest !!!!!! I love you guys !!!! You know how sometimes if just ONE thing goes right in your day everything doesnt seem so bad ? Thats why I come here !! Makes me wonder what Tami will do next though .

OMG !!! OK, you are not going to believe this !! After work I had to run errands pay more bills,etc and it never seemed like I was going to get time for me !! On the way home I remembered to check for SOTL at the video store and they had it !! OK, I put the movie on then decide to check out this thread before watching it. SURPRISE !!! Tami did it again !! Monk fans are not only great , I think they are psychic too !! This was actually kind of eerie in a good way. What year was Lambs made ? There are commentaries on the dvd version I have and I thought it said the comments were 1994, didnt know if they were added on with some of the newer dvds or what. Didnt see Teds name on the commentaries. I will watch the movie first then go back through everything else.

MONK FANS RULE !!!!!!!!

Frogs...put frogs on the list

OK, I made it through SOTL !! I dont think I have ever seen it the whole way through before . I thought it was pretty good , not as bad as I thought it would be. The DVD says 1990 on it and it has the 1998 Criterion Collection on it , which I will probably view tomorrow.
I still think it strange how the pic was posted the day I just happened to rent and see the movie
Life is full of surprises and usually good ones here !

I know I have said this many times but ..... Monk fans are the best and this site rules !!!
Now, Randy, where is our song ?

Love to you all !!!

I think it's pretty tame actually, but this is coming from the girl who has seen just about every horror movie ever made so I'm not a good judge. I honestly thought Buffalo Bill was the only scary thing about it. Screw Hannibal Lecter, Buffalo Bill rules that movie! *insert maniacal laugh*

I used to love horror movies of all kinds. Now that I am a little older my taste in movies have tamed down a bit. I would watch the Frday The 13th ones, classic ones,cheesy ones, you name it. The Omen and the original Halloween were a couple of my favorites. I watch The Birds now and wonder how people thought that was sooo scary back in the day.

Oh yes, the good ole Fridays and Halloween, etc. I know the gentleman who played Jason in 4 of the Friday movies and I've met several of the guys who have played Michael Myers in the Halloween films so it kind of takes away the scare factor for me. I love how these guys and Ted can play the nastiest screen villains and be so sweet in real life.

I have waded through the flow of diverse postings on Ted Levine and though many deal with his movie roles, then the movies themselves and what were "geisha" , the thread actually started with a simple statment (cited above) on his role in the Monk series then took off on a journey propelled by other forces.

I would like to make comments in harmony with this original posting. The Christmas episode was recently shown in Japan and one scene that I liked was when someone threw an egg that splattered on Natalie's coat, splashing onto Monk' suit. The captain echoing the code of knigthhood in Medieval Europe, rushes to her defense, running over to the crowd demanding who was the culprit while Monk wallows in self-pity, oblivious to the needs of his assistant.

Hello.

It's the latest Christmas episode with the bad Santa- sorry.

Not happy with the scoops about the upcoming season, doesn't seem that our Teddy has much to do...

No,no,no,no,no,no, .... this can't be true . I will have to check it out .

Does anyone have a photo of Ted and his real life family ? I heard through the "grapevine" that he is currently married to his 2nd wife and she is like a hair stylist or make up artist, something of that nature and that he has 2 adult children, a boy and a girl and that they may also be in show business. I wasnt really sure how much of this was true and thought what better place to find out than here !!!

I was under the impression that was taken at the premiere of WILD WILD WEST. I could be wrong.

According to IMDB, he's been married once. I believe his oldest child, a girl, was from a prior relationship (not married). I think his youngest, the boy, is from his present wife.
