A fine madness

Flipping back and forth between Christopher Walken's performances in Robert Redford's Milagro Beanfield War and Michael Cimino's unsung Western saga Heaven's Gate, and having watched his over-the-top performance in Last Man Standing (a poor remake of Akira Kurosawa's famous masterpiece Yojimbo) the night before, I am reminded that there is a fine line between genius and madness, and I'm never sure which side Walken is on...

(And doesn't Deadwood owe one hell of a a debt to Heaven's Gate?)
