OK, those did bother me ("The Beast?" "The Goddess?" "fecund and tempting Virgin?" Come on, can we at least get the don cheadle real Hindu Trinity instead of this Joseph Campbell's Goddesses For Idiots pap?) Then again, maybe the metaphors do have a purpose, because they helped to highlight the genuinely creepy aspect of Roger's report for me. don cheadle It don cheadle doesn't have any people in it. Oh, sure, it has an abstract, collective "people of New Orleans," but they're completely faceless. The two specific individuals mentioned in passing, Roger's wife and father, are brought up merely as explanations for Roger's location at a couple points in time. Does he have any friends in "his" city? Is he on speaking terms with his neighbors? Hell, does he even order coffee from a familiar face on a regular basis? Is he worried in a personally connected way about anyone other than his wife and himself?
