If Harvey Keitel ever gets to play Philip Marlowe, I may just
have to gun him down on the soundstage before his first take.
Granted, I have a personal animosity toward the man, but I
also admire his acting greatly. But he is so freaking wrong
for Marlowe in my view that the very idea makes me a little
queasy. And that's not just because of the New York accent.
Not to mention he's too old now.
