Terry Bradshaw and his extremely blonde daughters and maybe his extremely blonde wife, but honestly, it’s kind of hard to tell. I suspect they’ve all had quite a bit of work done.

One of my (possibly goofy) thoughts was that Tom’s name was a reference to Doubting Thomas, which was reinforced by seeing the character stirring his vodka with two fingers like Thomas examining the wounds of Christ in a renaissance painting.

The Sméagol to Gollum transmogrification might be one of the most realistic parts of LOTR. Beauty may only be skin deep, but profound spiritual amd moral rot becomes physically visible at some point.

[SPOILER ALERT] Did you catch this visual allusion to Caravaggio’s Entombment as Robbie was in Tom’s arms on the way to the hospital?
The Entombment of Christ is an oil on canvas painting by Caravaggio, from 1603–1604. It was created for the second chapel on the right in Santa Maria in Vallicella (the Chiesa Nuova), a church built for the Oratory of Saint Philip Neri. This Counter-Reformation painting – with a diagonal cascade of mourners and cadaver-bearers descending to the limp, dead Christ and the bare stone – is not a moment of transfiguration, but of mourning. As the viewer's eye descends from the gloom there is, too, a descent from the hysteria of Mary of Clopas through subdued emotion to death as the final emotional silencing. Unlike the gory post-crucifixion Jesus in morbid Spanish displays, Italian Christs die generally bloodlessly, and slump in a geometrically challenging display. As if emphasizing the dead Christ's inability to feel pain, a hand enters the wound at his side. His body is one of a muscled, veined, thick-limbed laborer rather than the usual, bony-thin depiction. Two men carry the body. John the Evangelist, identified only by his youthful appearance and red cloak supports the dead Christ on his right knee and with his right arm, inadvertently opening the wound. Nicodemus (with the face of Michelangelo) grasps the knees in his arms, with his feet planted at the edge of the slab. Caravaggio balances the stable, dignified position of the body and the unstable exertions of the bearers.
