I'm sure we all know that the voice behind the Legion Ex Machina is now one of the leads on the new HBO show Carnivale. My friend Joy sent me this, from the Television Without Pity summary of its first ep:
Fade up on a billboard announcing that we're in a quaint little town called "Mintern." In addition to being an actual town in California, Mintern is almost, but not quite, and anagram for "Terminator." CA residents should feel free to insert their own "sexed-up" Arnold Schwarzenegger gang-bang joke here. We cut to a very nice-looking Methodist church, where yet another dreary hymn I don't know the words to is being sung by the congregation. Wow. Christians have really depressing music. I mean, just look at Stryper, for God's sake. This particular congregation is being led by a bespectacled Clancy Brown, who sits quietly on the dais as his parishioners drone their way through the last few words of the song. Ahh, Clancy. We've all got love for you man, but your résumé is seriously all over the place. This guy has been in some great movies (The Shawshank Redemption, Highlander), some decent movies (Buckaroo Banzai, Starship Troopers, TV's Earth 2), and even some truly naughty movies (Female Perversions, Annabelle's Wish, Big Guy and Rusty the Boy Robot).
