I think Joe Anderson (new guy) will give Mason the kind of demented edge that would come with being totally paralyzed and uncontrollably crazy. Pitt did have some great moments as Young Mason but Older Mason will benefit from a different take. They also earned my faith by doing such a deft job at working in so many parts of the older stories into the new material so effectively.
Campy as his performance was, the shot of Mason drinking the martini with the scary music was outstanding and Pitt played it perfectly.

That's a model?! The secret lovechild of Shelley Duvall and Marilyn Manson.

According to articles I read before Boardwalk Empire came out, he lived in my neighborhood. My area is mostly African American and Latino, so I spotted him easy the day I went inside my favorite Chinese takeout.
I totally fanned out (I'm shameless in this respect--not the cool NYer I oughta be ATALL!) and told him I was a fan. He seemed surprised to be recognized. In fact, most of the people in the takeout place looked at us both with a mixture of boredom and weirdness as I gushed at him. He was dressed about how you would expect -- like he was searching for 1993, complete with plaid shirt, combat boots, and matted hair. He was polite, really cute (to me) and seemed stoned out of his mind. He only ordered one thing. An egg roll. He stepped outside to puff on a cigarette while he waited. He smoked Newport 100s.
Looking back, I wish I'd told him that, in my opinion, his best work was in a Law & Order: SVU episode, where he played a budding psychopath. So sexy. He probably would have run out of that place, screaming.

Funny Games. Jesus. Not for the disturbed. The German or American version. Shudder.
It seemed at the time of Murder by Numbers and The Dreamers that he was going to be the Next Big Thing. And yet a rather quiet, independent, and "disturbed" career.
Didn't Sandra Bullock date him for a few minutes?

Who the fuck does that? Michael Fucking Pitt. That's who! *hangs head in shame* I've done that and I wasn't even stoned. Sometimes I'm just driving home and i think "wow, i want an eggroll" so I go by my local Chinese restaurant and order eggrolls. Granted, 4 eggrolls come in one order, so it's not like I only ordered just one.
