This is kind of off topic, but a moment of silence please for Chris Penn. The brother of Sean Penn is best known for his role as "Nice Guy Eddie" in Quentin Tarantino's classic 1992 film "Reservoir Dogs". He was found dead today in Santa Monica.

Absolutely, LIM. I could go on forever about how Tarantino is a master of making small things huge -- be it a small cast, a small number of sets, or small actions like men talking about music over breakfast.
But Chris Penn did an excellent job in that particular film of portraying a character loyal to his "daddy", his friends (Mr. Blonde), and his craft (crime). While at the same time, being vulnerable (a grown man who calls his father daddy?) and vicious (not hesitating to shoot Mr. White or Mr. Orange when his father was threatened).
He was good in "The Funeral" and "Mulholland Falls" too.
