Warren Beatty only plays one role in the 1990 film adaptation of Dick Tracy. Watching it late last night, I had convinced myself that he had to be playing more than one role because for some reason when a person directs, produces, and stars in a film I see it as a complete ego trip. This of course does not apply to Woody Allen because he is self deprecating and therefore avoids this rule.
I came to this sad realization this morning. Last night I didn't feel like putting forth the effort to check this fact and instead set a reminder on my phone's calender (this was also the first time I have ever used my phone's calender which is apparently a wondrous application) as "Check to see if Warren Beatty played more than one role in Dick Tracy?" for 8:20AM and continued watching the film under the assumption that at any given time there were at least two Warren Beatty's on the screen or more. Now the fact that he didn't is just ludicrous, I mean he could have saved so much money if he would have played say Blank who has no face.
But on a lighter note CC now understands when I make fun of people and say they could be a Dick Tracy villain. Like if I see someone with say a limp, a cane, an eye patch, a hat, glasses, earrings, mutiple necklaces, a watch, fancy belt buckle, jacket with patches and some sort of animal on their shoulder I would call them...Paraphernalia (I have yet to come upon such a being but after writing this I am feeling the vapors of anticipation). After almost 3 years of marriage we still learn new things about each other.
