Argh.<\/p>\n<p>Well it was mainly just me rambling on about 24 and Kiefer again. I know I keep doing that, but I can&#8217;t help it. I freaking love this show and I want more people to get sucked into Jack&#8217;s world. It&#8217;s such an addictive, well-crafted, well-written show and every character has so many layers to them it&#8217;s incredible. And I can definitely say it holds up to multiple viewings. Even though I know what happens and the surprise element is gone, I&#8217;m finding I am picking up the subtleties now &#8211; things I wouldn&#8217;t have known to look for the first time around. Anyway, I can&#8217;t say enough good things about 24 and if you haven&#8217;t seen it, see it. Right now. Drop what you&#8217;re doing and go rent the DVDs.<\/p>\n<p>As for Kiefer himself, well every film I catch him in shows me how underrated this man is. My favourite film of the moment is called &#8216;Dead Heat&#8217; in which he plays Pally Lamarr, a young cop forced into retirement because of a heart condition. It also stars Anthony Lapaglia and Radha Mitchell. Pally&#8217;s brother (Lapaglia) convinces him to get in on a dodgy scheme involving a horse and a jockey who&#8217;s in deep to the mob. What follows is a chance to see Kiefer in a wonderful comdic performance  &#8211; a rare thing and something I&#8217;d love to see more of. He and Lapaglia act off of each other as if they really were brothers &#8211; it&#8217;s great \ud83d\ude42 this is a brilliant little film.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I&#8217;ll quit gushing for now. Expect more later \ud83d\ude42 Right now I&#8217;m thinking I&#8217;m going to go back to bed. It&#8217;s far too early on a Sunday to be awake.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, it&#8217;s actually Sunday morning but I wrote in here last night and fuck me if I didn&#8217;t lose the whole damn thing.
