About a week ago, the new Chekov from Star Trek popped into my mind and I've been on an Anton Yelchin bender ever since.
I've watched:
Fierce People
Law and Order: CI (episode Tru Love)
Alpha Dog
Charlie Bartlett
Hearts in Atlantis
He's just got these big old puppy eyes and tiny figure that makes you want to BEAT AND/OR RAPE AND/OR SHOOT HIM TO DEATH which happens in every single one of those movies I've seen so far (except for Star Trek, but that doesn't count). Obviously this is quite agreeable to my viewer needs.
It's disconcerting, however, that in each of these movies where his character is victimized (and usually quite violently), he just happens to have a mother who is neglectful, or absent, or just "bad." It's a shame.
I still have a small list of movies left to go. I bet they will fall into this pattern.
