csi miami's horatio. crap/not crap?

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Like you wouldnt do Horatio

Course not. I like to see eyes and he doesn't have any

and when he does he looks like a smug bastard

 

[Bob_the_lost]

He is an annoying gingerkid that should be lashed to the proppellor blade of an ocean liner.

I feel compelled to say that Caruso was (whisper it) quite good in Session 9. But it still didn't match the joy of watching him get blown away in King Of New York.

I think Horatio fits in better with the whole style of CSI, the whole exaggerated, over-acted, it-would-never-happen-like-that, convict-a-man-from-an-image-of-him-you-got-from-a-reflection-in-a-spoon-on-the-kitchen-counter-that-you-saw-from-the-security- camera-the-dead-person-has-in-their-kitchen-and-some-random-DNA thing that CSI seems to thrive on.

I saw a great episode of Monk when I was off sick on Monday, in which the suspect was the star of (snigger) "Crime Lab SF". An absolutely superb pisstake:

"Admit it Senator! You shot the hooker with a bullet made of your own frozen blood, didn't you?" Cue montage of senator making frozen blood bullets, shooting hooker, blood bullet entering her guts etc. I laughed like an asshole for about 20 minutes.

Well I was going to mention his hair colour but thought that would be gingerist and offend the ginges on here

WHAT?!?!

Kiss Of Death
Jade
Cold Around the Heart
Body Count

Its a filmography that makes Depp look like a GCSE drama student. i cant beleive you throw him away like this! The man has such stile, such grace... His pauses are desined to invoke memories of Shatner, provide an element of black humour to an otherwise disttresingly real show. His comppasion combined with his need for justice is expertly portayed, he is the true face of the law - powerful and wise, yet also young and vibrant.

His sunglasses are there only to hide the sadness in his eyes, they are a metaphorical barrier between a tortured soul and the outside world. when he takes them off its a privelage - we are given a glimpse inside the world of the great man, and this is where Caruso's acting really shows itself. Thoes eyes that are so empty, the face that we now see is worn with the years of horror and strife - a soul tormented by the apathy he sees in the people he encounters.

Caruso crap? No, you just don't get him.

Genius, pure genius.

So...rich. So...succinct. So articulate. Your stunning, literate style has just caused me to do a complete 180 on this obviously talented artist/thesp. Due to your most eloquent critique, I'm now seriously convinced I missed all of this first time around. Oh my. How could all of this style/technique mis-register so throughly in my own confused, pop culture-obsessed psyche?

I now consider this great man the long-awaited successor to Sir Olivier. Yes. I truly do. Also, thanks to your words, I consider this hunk 98% shag-worthy as well. (I think I was even "lubricating" a bit as I read...and cried). The missing 2% is in reference to the gingivitis "thing" that was mentioned earlier on this thread. No doubt this "rumour" emanates from his propensity to "look down and away" as people speak to him in a "heavy" scene (athough he does this even when ordering ice cream at the zoo...on his day off), forcing people to speak directly into the side of his red, smallish, (but handsome) bulbous skull. This bad breath thing is quite obviously a tabloid rumour for the simple folk, who will NEVER understand the finer points of acting, which you were so kind to bring to my own short, flawed attention.

Please. I beg you. PM me your username/nic at imdb.com, as I shall be most interested in reading your existing and future online reviews. In fact, I'd like to start by reading all of your reviews re: Madonna's post-"Desperately Seeking Susan" career, as these two actors filmographies seem strikingly similar. Do you agree? I'm SURE I missed something there as well.

Gary Wotsisname is PANTS in CSI NY.

Mind you, I reckon it's because he seems to talk without moving his lips.

Gives me the creeps.

The dark haired actress on the left isn't too bad an actress.

The blonde under acts to such an annoying extent she may as well be a mannequin.

The ME is a tad necrophilic in her head/arm/other body part stroking of the dead and talking to them using "endearments" such a "sweetie", "honey", etc. Creepy that one.

The bloke on the right is not too bad.

But Horatio/David Caruso thinks he's way too cool for school, which proves he's a delusional, ego-maniacal, wanker. And his legs bend the wrong way (which is really mean of me, I know) but I'll bet you'll never catch him in shorts

Ok in today's CSI Miami they found a home made DVD sex film and they worked out the apartment in the building it was filmed in by zooming in on a reflection of a hotel name that they saw between the slats in the blinds, deciding that the apartment was north of there and then 'triangulating' the position of the apartment. All this in about 30 seconds.

With stuff like that you really cant demand good acting

 

[unusual_solid]

Hmmm let me see.

Ginger + Miami Florida = Lobster

 

[trashpony]

Let's face it - the only reason it was worth watching CSI Miami was Speedle. He's dead.

It's all over for me

 

[J@ffa]

What is wrong with you people?

CSI: Miami is legendary, for this reason alone. It's had some of the most legendary lines of all time - in one episode, Horatio says to The Blonde One™…

"One day at a time works both ways."

The man is an absolute legend, a master of the school of 'I don't give a toss what the mood of this scene is, I'm going to pause and enunciate anyway' acting fostered, yes, by William Shatner and pretty much anyone in US crime dramas. Except Monk, which is legendary for good reasons.
