This has hit my girlfriend pretty hard, so we watched Hook last night. There's a throwaway line that captures his attention to detail. If you haven't seen it, he's playing Peter Pan as a joyless middle aged man. At one point his daughter makes him a 'parachute' for the next time they fly in a plane, and he responds with "thank you, that's very clever." It's such a subtle distinction. Not "that's very sweet" but "clever." It's one word, but it's the right one. He interacts with his daughter's idea, not the sentiment behind it. A tiny detail that reinforces who he is. I always felt his best roles were the ones that subdued his usual craziness. He needed a good director to channel him the right way, but when he got it, goddamn.
