The Lone Ranger is a pretty stiff and white bread character.  I'm not sure how you could turn it into a good movie.

You could have him played by Tom Cruise.

Dark Knight-ize him.  Give him a troubled backstory and conflicting motivations.

And have him shoot the shit out of some quasi-innocent people?  I could see that.

It's alliterative.

:p

Adherence to naive belief in the efficacy
Of Lockean principles (name checked here)
in a Hobbesian world.
Inability to abandon due process, when due process is boring and lame.
Too much law school.

Dark Knight-ize him.  Give him a troubled backstory and conflicting motivations.

Give him basic competence and maybe a hint of masculinity. Also helpful.

Make him more pro-active and in your face, a hip-hop surfer. And rastafari him about 10%.

Just finished Hannibal. Who would've thought Mads Mikkelsen would end up being a creepier and more vicious version of Hannibal than Anthony Hopkins? Great season all around.

[Eddie Teach]

I just wish he would enunciate more. Kinda hard to understand him at times.

[Liep]

I guess I'm used to the accent.

Yeah, he totally blew away that role.  Fantastic job.  And as vicious as he is, his mindfucks are just as incredibly subtle.
I don't keep track of television awards, but he's earned his share.

I enjoy the reference, but yes, exactly that.

Finally caught Looper.  Much niftier flick than I had given its trailer credit for.

Did I mention that Despicable Me 2 was/is some funny shit? It was a hoot, those minions are awesome. Kinda wished I had seen the 3D version too , which is weird for me.
