Without the Caffees, without word that there will be a third season, I am devastated!  So I look with admiration on Jason as Mark Brydon, in The State Within, which has been nominated for a Golden Globe, as best series on TV, and Jason for Best Lead ACtor in a series as Mark Brydon.

I cannot stop looking at the nice pictures Showtime keeps putting up to show me Michael Caffee from Brotherhood, and still hope for more next year.  Of course 2008 will give us Escorial Conspiracy, with Jason as the lead, and the much anticipated film GOOD, from pre-WWII Germany and good people falling into the Nazi trap for the sake of renewed German power and prosperity, with Jason as an intelectual victim and Viggo Mortenson in the lead.  This film is being touted as an entry in the Cannes Film Festival Best Film competition.  It looks SOOOO good...GOOD.

And of course I cannot tire of the beautiful Lucius Malfoy from Order of the Phoenix!  I do so wish there were a way to have Lucius as an important presence in the last two Harry Potter films!

Mike Caffee can hardly miss being classified as a sociopath, with his proclivity for murder, mayhem, and constant inner anger.  All this is

shown constantly on the mobile factor of actor Jason Isaacs who protrays

him so perfectly.  Mike wants to be King of the Hill! He returned hom after

seven years of undisclosed roaming in the underworld of crime, and now in

this second year if recuperating for near-death at the hands of a drunken cop

who has not yet been discovered as the vicious attacker.  Mike still thinks of

Declan as almost family, a childhood companion on the streets, along with

brother Tommy.  Tommy is a sociopath in his own way, concentrating on

trying to gain polictial power and rule the little state as some sort of dictator,

Though Tommy is not noted as a murderer/criminal, he is a cold fish with his

sexual relationships, and a backstabbing political friend/enemy, seeking only his

own desires for wealth through crooked real estate developement and the

top of the reeking garbag heap which is local politics.  So both brothers have

learned life from their soiciopathic father, that drunkard who beat their mother

and his sons, taught by example to steal from the weak, and take what you

want in life, no matter how it may hurt others.  I have been making videos of

Mike Caffee, and have finally selected the music that suits him and Tommy

perfectly.....THE FIRST INSIDE, writter and performed by Bob Seeger.  Play it

and let me know what you think.

11 The Fire Inside

Sometimes an actor is too good, too believeable, just too much to handle!

Jason Isaacs is one of those, and in Brotherhood he seems to have absorbed the sociopathic Michael Caffee into himself entirely too well!  Episode 8 is really a sorrowful commentary on these men with completely antisocial personalities. 

I was glad to see Mike realize at last that he simply could not handle being a father to a child with Kath.  Poor foolish Kath, who has paid a stern price for her relationship with Mike.  Helping him, mothering him, trying to manage his brain damage without being murdered by him in a state of seizure, makes it no surprise when she finally sees him as he really is!  Poor dumb woman!  She thought kindness and love could change him into what she wanted him to be!  And perhaps she confused his sexuality and need for some kind of intimacy as love. 

For the first time in the two-year series we are "treated" or is that "mistreated" to the joys of Mike and another man in the local bordello together!  Ugh!  Too bad that had to be included to show us how far down Mike is going in his descent into reality.

And seeing Mike planning and executing his practical plans for eliminating his socialpathic rivals is a very clear wallow through what is probably the truth about such gangs and their actions.  Though I regret seeing it, I feel the truth of it, and hope it will guarantee that I do NOT memorize lines from it as I have from GODFATHER,

Happy Halloween to everyone!  Here is a card someone sent me but they did not say they made it, so I do not know

who to credit.  Anyhow it is nice, and sort of fun, so enjoy it.  

The

 second picture is my own greetings to Voldemort on Halloween.  Do I really believe The Dark Lord needs a card to remind him of his own personal favorite holiday?  Of course!  We all enjoy cards and reminders!

and third is a card for all you Brotherhood fans, some nice images of Mike Caffee on a wallpaper I made and keep up on my computer screen.  I love those poor sad eyes he

has, now that he has been altered by drunken blows to the back of his head!....... Not only Drunken blows, but cowardly blows, showing Declan Diggs' true character!  Too afraid of his childhood playmate to fight him fairly, the despicable idiot.
