I don't know -- never saw Casino. Rothstein is certainly an compellingly watchable character as presented in Bdwlk Empr.

It is the same character.
I recently read Conversations with Scorcese,a worthy tome btw if you can wade your way through the minutia of seemingly rabid exchanges as to who knows more about a given topic between the author and subject.
Anyway,in the book,Scorcese waxes on and on about this Rothstein character almost to the point of bestowing him with hero status.

On Sunday nights we are watching the new series "Tess of the D'Urbervilles" and enjoying it very much.
So far only two episodes viewed and can't help wondering if it will be a three - part or more?

I loved that book when I read it over 40 years ago. Even though it was so long ago, I still remember parts of it vividly. I'm very curious about the series. This is the first I'd heard of it. Thanks, Tod.
At the moment I am watching -- or actually taking a break from watching -- the pilot of Homeland. A friend of mine raves about this series, but it is not clicking for me at all. Anyone here watch it?

Here you go Bixa - to my mind the actress Gemma Arteton has just the right whimsical face for the part.

Oh thanks, Tod. Yes -- Tess would have an open, curious, whimsical face, wouldn't she?
