To: Sidetracked
I'd really like to first thank you Mr. Gordon for taking the time to answer questions people have posted about "TSD" and have been browsing here for a quite a long time. However, this is my first time as a writer to this forum. I watched the initial six-part mini-series and thought it was an engrossing and brilliant piece of work. I didn't want it to end. Having been a fan of Downey's for well over a decade (Since he blazed onto the screen as Julian Wells in 'Less Than Zero' followed up a few years later with a superb performance as Charles Chaplin. By the way, "Back to School" is a family favourite. Jason Melon and Derek Lutz were a hilarious duo!) I greatly anticipate watching him work his magic in the Michael Gambon role while acknowledging he will make it his own. I read most of the reviews that were written when "TSD" premiered at Sundance and it's clear to me that this film is one which deserves (and hopefully will receive) respect. Personally, I admire filmmakers, directors and actors who are unafraid to take a risk by working with challenging material like this story. Based on what I read from reputable critics, this is going to be a piece of work to be reckoned with. (That's a beautiful thing.) I believe people should watch this movie (and any movie) with an open mind and perhaps attempt to reconcile the story after the fact, once the dust has settled as it's a lot to absorb. When I watched the mini-series, there were sequences that were confusing at first, but once the film concluded it all made perfect and fascinating sense. I found myself thinking about it a day or so afterwards. My question to you is about the dancing scenes in the movie. Katie Holmes (Like her too.) portrays the role of the nurse and you have explained that she dances in the film. Does she dance with Downey's Dan Dark character at any time during those hallucinations? Many fans of both actors are hoping so! Thanks so much for your time and I wish you all the best with this film! Sarah H
