Is repeating your name a Parker or Selleck invention, Jesse?
I have enjoyed ALL of the Jesse Stone movies immensely(non rating lower than a 9 and a few I'd like to rate higher than a 10)-I believe, along with the movies Three Mile Road,Quigley Down Under&3 Men&A Baby, it's the BEST work he's ever done! I love that he makes Jesse Stone's flaws and issues relate-able to everyone! I enjoy his interactions with his therapist, played so truthfully by William Devane(who I have loved since his realistic portrayal of JFK in Missiles of October) and with his various "consciences" -from Boomer to Steve( having had two rescue dogs as my companion(the 1st passed 6yrs ago the 2nd I have been with for 5 years)I always say they rescued me much more than I rescued them!) Now to the question that I continue to wish someone would ask in one of the movies-What is the deal with constantly saying "Jesse" when he's the only one there? Was that an idiosyncrasy created by Robert Parker or is that a Tom Selleck touch? It's not natural when you're having a one on one conversation to keep saying the other person's name-unless you're "Emily" on the Bob Newhart Show-who gained "popularity" by constantly saying "Bob"! If anyone knows the answer please tell me. Thank you.score 9/10
