The Romany Malco Rule

After about 24 hours in the air and in airports (and one ’special services’ body cavity check) i’m back from China. Thanks for all your kind comments on our updates. It was an amazing trip until the travel back. Unfortunately, I think I’ve conclusively proved that I can’t sleep in an economy seat no matter how tired I am.

Anyway, I saw part of The 40 Year Old Virgin today while sitting around recharging from that wonderful experience and and I was reminded of the Jeff Daniels Rule:

the movies wouldn’t even need a Bill Pullman if they’d just wise up and realize that Jeff Daniels would be at least as good, and frequently much better, than Pullman in every role Pullman has ever had.

I’m thinking about what a good job Romany Malco is doing in this movie, and how much I like his work in Weeds, and it occurs to me that The Romany Malco Rule is an update to the concept.

There’s no role that Omar Epps has ever filled that Romany Malco couldn’t have done bigger and better.

Pretty Similar, except talent-wise
