OT: We went to a memorial service yesterday out on Long Island for my Dad's aunt. Got to see alot of family members who weren't able to make it to the wedding that I hadn't seen in years which was cool. And my grandmother and aunt & uncle were in from Nebraska which was nice too...obviously not in those circumstances, but still. ANYWAY, we went to dinner at a restaurant in a village called Roslyn which I totally fell in love with. I swear it looked like a little village right out of a Thomas Kincaid painting. Absolutely charming.

So sorry about your great aunt.
Glad that you got to see some family members...one of the good things about funerals.
The village sounds really nice! I love places like that.

Wow, he got it. It was well deserved...

Yes.
I read somewhere that Jack Nicholson had warned him that sometimes getting into character for a role like that can be very taxing, and that it may become difficult over time to separate himself from the role.
Maybe the darkness of the character did take a toll.

She actually passed away mid-December but didn't want her memorial service to be before Christmas. It was actually a very nice memorial service. She was very musical and taught violin lessons for decades. At the very end of the service they invited anyone prepared to come forward and join in to honor her with a couple of songs. I swear 1/2 of the congregation had instruments (violins, cellos, etc) and went up there. There were about 50 people up there, it was amazingly beautiful and very fitting.

I wished I'd had my camera to take pictures of the little village.

I'd heard that too and I really can see how that could happen if you're that commited and focused on a role.
