He did a good job in Ride with the Devil, portraying a kid aged too quickly by horrors in the Civil War.

I'm excited to see Garden State despite a pretty disgusting story I read in a British pub. this morning (I love me some www.google.news, but sorry, lost the link).

Apparently, filming was kicked out of a particular suburban house when the resident found a loaf of human excrement in the bathtub. The story used a much more colorful word.

If a movie crew asks to use your house/office/barn? Run, do not walk away from the deal. I've never heard a good story in the aftermath.

Of course, crew behavior ≠ movie quality.

Good Will Hunting used space in my mother's church, paid them a ton of money, and were, apparently, lovely. t /anecdotal evidence

Doody?!

"turd"

eta: I'm glad to hear the anecdotal evidence Jesse, cuz I want to imagine it's a great experience.

etaa: There is something very wonky about the femalefirst site. It makes my browser have emotional problems. But, yes, that was the source of the story, except that this morning, both the text and the headline featured the word 'turd'.

I'm going to see The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement tommorrow night. Am also far more excited about it than a 23 year old has a right to be. That is all.

I'm jealous of Lilty. I'll be driving to Dallas tomorrow, and will not get to see the movie.

Loved the first one. Have read all five of the books.

(I'm lying. The tag never closes. Despite both individual words being incorrect descriptions of me.)

Go on wichyur bad teenage girl-self Nova!

Tonight I watched Belizaire the Cajun for the first time in many years. I just love it.

Yes, the production values are pretty much that of your summer camp home movies and there are far, far too many boom shots but, hey. Armand Assante is the acme of charm. Will Paxton looks about 18. And I learned things about Acadian history I never knew.

Just love it.

On the other hand? The Mayor of Casterbridge. Dead, wicked, bloody boring. But I have an unwholesome crush on Ciaran Hinds brewing, so it was an indulgence. I shoulda known though...Thomas Hardy. Not know for laugh fests or happy endings. Rather, lots and lots of lies and manipulations.

I think I'll go dream of Belizaire.

Lilty, I've been trying to convince people to not only go to the see it (where two takers have agreed -- Robin and Polgrara) but I've been trying to talk them into the special tea they have at the theater. It's a princess themed tea and includes Belle, Ariel, Snow White and the other one.

Ben Kingsley is going to play a vampire in a movie based on a video game.

This means that the world is ending, right?
