About the Sizemore of It

Last night I watched THE LAST LULLABY finally. I so wanted to see the sneak peek back at Bouchercon in Baltimore a few years ago, but I think I was guiding a bunch of folk around Little Italy--(Lori Armstrong, Russel McLean, Karen Olson, Dave White, Bryon Quertermous, Alison Gaylin, somebody else too? Chercover? Nah. Mario Acevedo? Who knows? It was one of "those" B'con off site excursions...) Anyway, the movie....Max Allan Collins' "Quarry" character, played so intensely by Tom Sizemore. Damn, he's good. Got the character pitch perfect. God, I hope he stays clean.
