A friend of mine's dog is named Harpo. She gets asked a lot if the dog is named after Oprah's production company.
I couldn't believe it the first twenty times you told us, but it's starting to sink in now.

A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
I would never think "Oprah" when hearing "Harpo."
Chico's real name was Leonard, Zeppo's was Herbert, Gummo's was Milton, and Harpo's first name chnage was to Arthur, if that helps.
Well, none are up to the "Lemmy" standard...

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Aimée, she doesn't have the body, but I still think she can out act Halle in the role.
ITA, ita. (That kinda makes me giggle) Is the body as important to Storm and her character as say...ummm...ok, I don't my know my comics characters well enough to go there.
As a very obvious fan of Storm, would Storm being played by a more statuesque woman detract from her as a character? For me, no. But I don't share in the Strom love that you have as a reader of the comics.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It is the name of her production company.

It's not so much a Storm thing, Aimée, as a general superheroine thing. We're talking co-starring with Famke Janssen and ex-Stamos. Halle's already a bit short and stocky.

I always do, but that's cause I'm a freak.

So it seems. But it surprises me, what with the damn kids and the history and the onion tied to my belt because it was the style at the time.

Onions, you say?

Well, that kind of sucks. Actually, it sucks a lot. She'd be great, IMHO. I'd love to see her in a superheroine role.

I see.
That was back in Nineteen-dickety-two. We had to say "dickety" because the Kaiser had stolen our word "twenty."
