Oh, christ. I'm going to be a mess.
I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope.

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

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Huh. Did I know that Stephanie Romanov was going to be this flick? Fairly substantial role, it looks like.
I saw Hotel Rwanda yesterday. Bit heavy-handed in parts, but devastating. Don Cheadle was amazing.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Did we know there was a movie called The Broken Hearts Club
Cute movie. I'll have to rewatch as I didn't know Christian Kane at the time I saw it... I like the dude from Go! who was also in it (Timothy something).

I saw Life Aquatic last night. I really liked it, but I can't figure out why.

Hey -- what's with Kane and baseball? Does he have a background? Or are the Jolie film and the FPJr movies just coincidence?
Well, he has sung the Star Spangled banner at baseball games and such. But in Broken Hearts Club he had no connection to baseball/softball, he seemed to be hired strictly on the basis of how good he would look all sweaty in workout gear.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I haven't seen the movie (yet), but I'm guessing pretty good.
I clicked on Vonnie's link. Is it just me? Caviezel squicks me bigtime. And it's not just that Mel bloodfest, either, he has, ever since Monte Cristo, which is what I first remember him in.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I didn't much like the book, but I might like the movie, depending on how they break it for screen:
Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh pony up some of their precious Lord of the Rings coin to buy the rights to Alice Sebold's The Lovely Bones, which will keep the studio development monkeys from flinging their feces on the project at least until the script is finished

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
ita, I didn't love it much, either. The older I get, it seems the more that people cream over some "innovative new telling" in some bestseller, the more likely it is that some excellent fantasy/sci fi writer has done it 15 years before, and done it better.
