Bruce Willis as Lieutenant Douglas J. Chapman, Becker's boss. He and Jim despise each other.
Christoph Waltz as Gandolph "Gandy" Fitch, an acquaintance of Jim's from his prison days. Gandy was a much feared inmate, and it is inferred that even Rockford (whom he refers to as 'Rockfish') was a victim of his brutality. Rockford helps prove that Fitch was sent to prison for a crime he did not commit.

Jim comes up against a case that hits too close home, when a friend loses their life and he has to unravel who is friend, or foe when everyone becomes a suspect.


Y The Last Man

When a plague sweeps the earth killing all males, Yorrick Brown (Jared Padalecki) and his helper monkey Ampersand (CGI, played by Andy Serkins) find themselves the last two males on the planet. When his mother Congresswoman Jennifer Brown (Candace Burgen) discovers this, she assigns spy Agent 355 (Rachel True) to accompany him as a bodyguard on a mission to find Dr. Allison Mann (Ming-Na Wen) and her controversial cloning experiments. All Yorrick wants is to find his missing girlfriend Beth Deville (Amy Smart). Along the way they are pursued by Israel special ops agent Alter Tse’elon (Tilda Swinton) who sees Yorrick as a threat to this new female society. They also encounter trouble from pop star turned Yakuza leader Ephiany (Selena Gomez) and Yorrick’s own troubled sister Hero Brown (Hillary Swank). All Yorrick wants is to find Beth, and all Agent 355 wants is to complete her mission, but when a chance encounter with another Beth (Emma Bell) leaves her pregnant with Yorrick’s child, everything is thrown for a loop.



Directed by Robert Rodriguez

Written by Brian K Vaughan and adapted from his graphic novel series

I voted against both of these last round, but Y is the clear vote here. I still can't get past the fact that Bale, Statham, Waltz AND Willis are all playing second fiddle to Johnny Depp

[Byrntrigan]

Well SG - Depp is one of the top leading men in Hollywood. I betcha there aren't too many more bankable stars.

[The Jewish Cunthead]

He's bankable for one role. His non-Sparrow movies have tanked. Not that they aren't good but they just don't make money.

That said, I voted for Rockford again because I would love to see Tarantino and Smith do something with that cast.

And sorry Byrnie, nothing personal, but I'm the tiebreaker. Y moves on

Ok, not to be a dick, but how is it fair that a guy who votes in the poll also is the tiebreaker?

MTA: Congrats Doug.
