Film: Margin Call

On Thanksgiving, we saw Margin Call.


The collapse of America's financial institutions during 2008 is clearly so ripe for film that even this poor effort got critical attention. 

I'm struck by a resemblance between Zachary Quinto and Farley Granger -- both are tall, handsome in a slightly off-kilter sort of way, but hard to place with a leading lady because they are so gay. 

  


I still consider this a worthwhile insight, though A. told me otherwise. Quinto fairly screams to be used in a thriller in which he plays a guilt- and anxiety-ridden patsy, used by a more charismatic queen like Rope's John Dall or Robert Walker in Strangers on a Train
