I watched the movie (recently) after watching the first few season of the show (recently), and I agree.

Spader and Shanks' portrayals don't seem as divergent to me as Russell and Anderson's do. I found Russell so utterly humorless that I Did Not Want. (Also, I felt he wasn't having a good time: shades of Donald Sutherland in the original Buffy movie.)

I would have thought it was weird and creepy if Russell had laid on the humor since the movie takes place so shortly after Jack's kid killed himself with Jack's service pistol. To each their own, I guess.

Yeah, that. I mean, he was all but hoping for some kind of suicide mission to escape his pain.

Very true. It's one of those "one-line reading" things, but honestly myself, I always thought that "give my regards to King Tut, asshole" was kind of a transition point; that one line is one of the only times in the movie that the Kurt Russell O'Neil really feels like the RDA O'Neill to me, and I've always kind of read it as the moment when he's starting to get back to who he was before Charlie's death.

Different ways of dealing with grief. Some people withdraw entirely and board up the windows; some people put on a superficially jaunty mask over the numbness. (Prior to Cold Lazarus, Anderson's portrayal of O'Neill in the early episodes came across to me as someone burying himself in work and routine, and distancing himself from others by intermittent flippancy.)
