It’s a really good cloak
Okay, I love troubled, troubled Logan on the TV show, but I am growing convinced that Jason Dohring, besides being a Scientologist, (and married, despite the fact that he’s like, Alex’s age almost exactly) is also kind of a dumbass. To wit:
What’s my favorite movie? Oh my gosh. I would say, I like, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest very much. I like, ah, Jerry Maguire very much. I like Crash very much. I think probably Crash though is like my favorite movie. It changed my life that movie. You see that movie and it starts out with all this racism and goes through to the end and that final shot man when, it’s like you come through all this and then these two people get in a car accident and he pulls back the camera to reveal and then they start doing the same thing all over again after all that stuff happened, I learned from that man. I didn’t even know that I had something to learn.
(Emphasis mine.)
Seriously, Jason Dohring? Seriously? Crash is not only one of your favourite movies, but it changed your life? Paul Haggis’s Crash. Changed his life. Paul Haggis. Creator of Walker, Texas Ranger.
For a brief, frantic moment, I was hoping he was talking about the Cronenberg one.
Also: Previous evidence. Again, he is a good actor and whatever, but his pop culture tastes are the epitome of everything I hate. (You can like Crash even and find it interesting, but don’t tell me it “changed your life,” cause, seriously? That makes you the kind of idiot spectator that I spend a bunch of time convincing myself doesn’t exist.)
In real life, this doesn’t matter, but it always makes me a little sad when I realize that if I met celebrities I like in real life, we would have absolutely nothing in common at all and I would most likely think they are horrible and pretentious.
On VM-related note (which I wouldn’t read if you didn’t see this week’s episode yet, seriously, don’t): RIP Don Lamb!!11! I was so psyched with the callback to the pilot (the “Go see the wizard” line); but it was all just a lead-up to his inevitable demise, caused by his own massive incompetence. I am hoping they go somewhere good with this: having Keith be Sheriff shifts the Neptune balance of power so hard.

Jason Dohring has to plug Crash: he and Haggis are both Scientologists.
