No, Ma, the only place I meet TL is in my dreams...hopefully someday!

Still toiling on the Christmas script, but I also started another script this weekend, so I'll be working on both. I sure picked a lousy week to stop doing cocaine.

I don't know much about Ted's role in SHUTTER, but I sure hope it's a bigger role than the one he had in the COWARD movie.

Hi All,
Couldn't get on again today , either something is wrong with my computer or my service, I miss the Monk board.
What is the TL pic from that is with your sign on name mama ? Looks good !!

I had not seen DS that was on Fridays Monk in years and when I saw him with the beard and a little older I at first thought it was David from my church !! I know a David S. from church, same hair color and beard, although his face is a little fuller. I was talking to him Sunday and he probably wonder why I was looking at him funny, I was comparing him to the other DS. Such a resemblance !

I found an interview with TS and am going to post it if my computer will allow.

Is Shutter Island to be released in theaters soon ?

Talk to you all later ( I hope )

Yeah, isn't that a great pic of TL? It's from HILLS HAVE EYES, well, before he got a hot foot!

Don't know much more about SHUTTER ISLAND than what's at IMDB Pro.

Beautiful day here, but hot--close to 90!

Last night we watched the ending of SILENCE OF THE LAMBS (we tuned in after watching MYSTIC RIVER, boy, was that a tough one) and wouldn't you know it, we got to LAMBS just in time to see TL die. But he was perfect doing it!

I have the Hills movie, I will have to look for the scene in your pic. I can not stand to watch TL get beaten and burned though, I have to fast forward it through those scenes.
I tried to watch some of Mystic last night too, didnt see much of it , I dont think I have ever watched it all the way through. We need more TL in movies and TV !

And other places too!

I read Shutter Island last week ... I wasn't too impressed with the book ... but Scorsese's directing, he'll hopefully get something out of those pages that I missed. The part of the Warden is very short in the book. But looking at the IMDb, Ted's role is now credited and he's listed before John Carroll Lynch who plays Deputy Warden McPherson; and the McPherson character had a larger role in the book than the Warden ...

It makes me wonder if they will combine two characters from the book to make the one character TL is playing as is so often the case. If they are listed in alphabetical order instead of by the character then it would make sense that Levine would be listed before Lynch. Just a couple of thoughts I had.

Hello everyone !! No problem getting online today, hurray !!!!!
Just wanted to say Hi to you all and check out some of the threads.
Hope you all have a good day .

I missed TL today, I got on a roll writing the Christmas script. I'm heading towards the finish line, woo hoo!!!

Lynch's character is the Deputy Warden and still in the movie, so they didn't combine characters (I hate when they do that in movies from books I've read). From what I can remember of the characters, it looks like the "other cast" is listed by prominence of character. Maybe since it's Ted playing the Warden, they gave him some of the Deputy Warden's lines ...

All Right !!! Way to go Mama !!! Didn't you say you had someone interested in the Christmas script?
I am keeping my fingers crossed for you !

Wasn't TL in another TV series a some point ? Was there more than one ? It seems I remember someone saying he was another policeman or something of that sort on TV. If so I wonder if it is on DVD.

Is there a Monk marathon on today ? I sure hope so !!

I was wondering, did the Monk books come out before the TV series or vice vesa ?

Hope you all are having a good day !!

TL was in another series, a short lived show called WONDERLAND. Yanked after a short stint after people complained it didn't portray the mentally ill in a proper light, if I recall correctly. I could be wrong, that was before I discovered the joys of Ted.

Yeah, got a CE interested in my Christmas script, am trying to get that done inbetween all the assorted other craziness.

I rented the movie WONDERLAND several months ago because I heard TL was in that , but I coulndn't get the movie to play and had to return it, still have never seen it.
I was thinking I had heard TL was in a TV series called Crime Story or something similar that was suppose to be pretty good.
Monk is still on USA today,has been all morning. Time to relax and enjoy Monk !!

Crime Story ... yes, and Ted is fabulous in it!

His part in Wonderland (the movie) is nothing to write home about, kinda Stottlemeyer with R-rated language ...

TYVM Tami ,
I will have to check out the TL bio and see what year CS was made

I rented Wonderland the movie by mistake too. If you don't have the stomach for extremely violent movies, not fond of porn stars, and hate watching people consume mountains of cocaine, this is probably not the movie to bring home to share with the wife and kids like I did . It's a true story about the male porn star John Holmes who is well know for a certain attribute of his anatomy, that got heavily involved with substance abuse and ended up involved in the murder of a few of his druggie friends. Very bloody. Very disturbing. Ted Levine plays a Stottlemeyer like cop (again) investigating the murders. My wife got very angry at me for renting this movie so proceed with caution. Remember kids, don't do drugs, they only lead down the path of destruction.

Dont do porn either!!!

Well, except if you get to play with Ted...I mean, play a role with Ted...aw heck!

I saw the toned-down version on TV but it still was pretty bad. Ted didn't have much of a part, nothing to write home about anyway.

LOL! The Wonderland murders were considered to be the bloodiest and most gruesome crime scene the police had ever seen besides the Sharon Tate/Charles Manson murders. The most un-nerving extra of the movie is the actual grainy police crime scene video which walks you room to room before they removed the victim's bodies who were all beaten to death. It is very, very disturbing and bloody but obviously not enough for a hollywood movie because when you watch the actual movie Wonderland depicting the same scenes it looks like they took a firehose and filled it with blood and gore and painted the walls. I guess they felt they had to kick it up a notch. Thanks, I guess? I remember hearing one of the first news radio stories about the murders. The police wanted to question the male adult movie star John Holmes about the murders of 4 people who were beaten to death with a large blunt object. The radio news man had trouble stiffling his laughter. John Holmes was on the run for 6 months before his teenage girlfriend turned him in. Oh well! On the bright side I don't think we will have to worry about Ted Levine doing a porno movie anytime soon, he is starting to look pretty grampy. LOL!

Yeah, gravity has a way of drifting the human body south. I didn't find him very sexy to look at when he was in the gym scene in 'Lotto Fever.'

That headband did nothing to improve his looks.

Hello everyone,
It's a rainy day here in Southern Michigan. I am thinking of popping in a movie from my home collection, either TL in the "Hills" movie or TS in "13 Ghosts". Yes, I am THAT bored !!!

Kees Lady, I gotta agree with you on that one. Not very flattering. And I didn't like how his phony toupee fell over the headband.

TL goes to anger management today on the 4pm Monk.
Watch out for that Yo-YO !!
Goodbye Karen, don't let the door hit you on the --- on your way out !! Sorry had to say that.


When God closes a door, sometimes he breaks your heart.

The yo-yo episode!!! That is my favorite TL Monk episode. Shoot I probably won't be home in time to watch it. Yeah I know I have the DVD's, but still...

According to the TV Guide Channel Monk will be on USA today from 3pm - 6pm, 3 episodes !!
Woo Hooo !!! That's what I'm talking about , yeah !!!!

It doesn't look like Monk is going to be on this afternoon on USA I did like the episodes that were on yesterday though, 4 hrs of Monk, that I liked !!!

On another note, I found a site yesterday that looked kind of cool. It is mysterynet.com, I didn't have time to check it out too much , but they had like mini msteries to solve etc.

Hope you all lhave a good day !!

I *hate* the headband. His outfit wouldn't have been too bad if the headband wasn't there.

A day without Ted is like breakfast without orange juice...AWFUL!!!

Well, I guess that depends on whether you like OJ or not, I do like it !! And Ted !!

I see there is a Monk marathon today !! Hurray !!!!!!

What are the pics of TL in solar taxi ( I may have the wording wrong ) from ? Is it a commercial, movie or what ? Couldnt get the link to work and my curiousity is getting the best of me . I figured someone here would know.



Shes now gone meatless

Fornicator !!!

Urinater !! Your'e going down Mr. Pee !!!

This is me turning off your morphine, and this ...isTrudy the woman you killed turning it back on.

OK, I will check out the TL pic thread again and see if I can find an answer there. I cant believe no one in Monkland gave an answer about the pics.

I thought TL looked pretty good in last nights eppy. Tony looked tired though.

Okay, I've never been in this thread before, and the first word I see when I open the page is "porn". I almost ran away right then.

Anyway, just came to say that I've never really cared much for Leland in the past, but I'm starting to appreciate his character more. He's a pretty good guy.

You probably haven't even noticed Leland was a character on the show before, you were too busy staring at Natalie.

Hello all,
I see the first eppie of Monk is to be on today. It is kind of weird to see TL in the early eps with kind of darker hair color.

Quite possible, quite possible. Even when I couldn't stand Natalie I watched her closely for character flaws.

I uh...gave up looking.

Hey Hello,
I think the Captain should use jeans more often. He looks really charming! I also love the way he stared at Linda Fusco the first time they met. That is one of my favorite scenes with TL in Monk. I hope he finds someone who deserves him soon. He seems to be so lonely.

I think Leland needs a certain woman, oh, about 5'7" with meat on her bones, who lives in a certain town on Long Island...

Maybe right after the 5'7" woman from Wisconsin, and the 5'7" woman from Illinois get done with him, we'll send him out New York way.


Meme

I guess I better get in line, looks like 4th place for me Oh well, I would be glad to nurse TL back to health and Michigan isn't that far from all of you.

I saw Ted in a movie called "Birth" can't say much for the movie but he didn't have a hairpiece and no hat, not much of a role either.

BIRTH was pretty awful. Yech.

Just out of curiosity, Mama (plus I don't feel like re-reading this entire thread), what TL movies have you liked/thought were good?

Have to agree with you there. One of the worst movies I've ever seen. So wrong.

My top three are

HARLAN COUNTRY WAR
THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS
MOBY DICK

Ted is good in just about every movie he's in even when the movie itself sucks. Like THE HILLS HAVE EYES. Ted is great in it, but the film blows.

Okay, I feel kind of silly asking this, but:

Does Ted wear a piece? I find myself staring at his hair and wondering. It's distracting.

On Monk ,yes he does. Otherwise, I don't think so,unless a role requires it, he also wears a hat a lot. He is very handsome without his piece or a hat.

I like him better with the mustache and the piece. He's more hansome like that. I think he also feels more secure when he's using the piece, otherwise he wouldn't appear with hats all the time he's in public.

I like how he looked in "Geisha" ~~ I like how he looks on Monk ~~ I just like how he looks ...

I know what you mean. I guess I have the same felling for Tony

I must say, I will have to agree with you !! I love the scruffy look with the ballcap type hat. I think I have a small Fast & Furious pic like this and love it !!
