I loved the book and cannot see either Brad or Jennifer in those parts.
However, if they bought the rights in order to produce it -- that's a different story.
Wesley: Hey. Hey, Gunn. Is something weird going on? … Charles, you just peed on my shoes. Gunn: I'll be damned. That's weird.

Oh, Sean, you must read TTW! It's so good.
Also, nice tag Kate.
Thanks! It's from a show that KristinT and I went to see in New Haven a few weeks ago, The Mystery of Irma Vep. (For posterity: "Virginity is the balloon in the carnival of life. It vanishes with the first prick.")

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Oh, that's marvellous.
DH and I saw no movies in theatres this weekend, but we did catch Goodbye Lenin on DVD, and it was really very good. Less comic/absurd than we were expecting, and more of a quiet family drama. Very worth watching if you have the time.

Is that the Guy Maddin movie Irma Vep? I haven't seen it, but I've heard very good things.

Ooh, I'd like to see that [edit: Goodbye, Lenin]. I saw Kinsey last night and enjoyed it. I'm not sure it hung together as a movie all that well, but I thought the subject matter was fascinating. I have to wonder how realistic it is as a portrayal of the man named Alfred Kinsey (especially with regards to how completely the topic of sex overtook his whole life), and there were a couple of plot elements--namely the dynamics of his family, especially his children--that were forgotten about almost as soon as they were introduced, which was a little frustrating. And Tim Curry was pretty much wasted in his role. On the other hand, William Sadler's bit was incredible, and the Liam Neeson/Peter Sarsgaard kiss was as fabulous as foretold. On the whole, I'm glad I saw it.

It was a theatre production we saw in New Haven. The play is by Charles Ludlam; I don't know the movie version, but it might well be the same one. A search on IMDB for the title only turned up this, which doesn't look like what you're talking about.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
My objection is to either of them being the main characters
I love Irma Vep. So much fun. And very not a good play to be adapted to a movie (it's a 2-actor show with each playing several characters through quick changes, which is a good bit of the fun). Assuming I'm not talking about a different one. I don't remember that line, but that doesn't necessarily mean much.

DebetEsse, that's the one. It's a campy show about vampires and werewolves and mummies that's also a sendup of Rebecca, with all the parts played by two (male) actors. So much fun. Kristin and I laughed like lunatics throughout the whole thing.

Ah, I'm conflating two different movies in my head.

Hey. New board.
How did I not know this was coming out?
How could a movie look this good?
Why is 2005 gonna be so exciting for me?
