But his HBO show has done quite well, where ratings aren't as important. He's also won a few Emmys, not that that means anything. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Miller's always been like this, even when he was a "liberal" (more libertarian, actually, though that might be generous). To borrow from Umberto Eco, Miller creates a series of surfaces to give the illusion of depth.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>DP</DIV></BODY></HTML>
