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

Saw Aviator last night, and Collateral yesterday morning. I understand precisely why Aviator is nominated for best picture, but it didn't really grab me. Well done, interesting, but not compelling.

And long, lordie, long.

Speaking of judging on own merits (okay, that was in Natter) -- I know nothing about how Hughes actually appeared, and only know Hepburn from movies, not interviews, etc. Were they spot on? They were good for a story that wasn't tied to real lives, but I couldn't judge them on anything more than that.

I really enjoyed Collateral, and realise there's no way Foxx could have got a leading nom for it, but he was definitely not supporting anyone in it.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

Any Rent fans- can someone explain a scenario in which they do two days of filming for the movie in Santa Fe that wouldn't be ridiculously silly?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Foxx owns Collateral.

2004 -- year of the Foxx, hands down.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

He actually goes, doesn't he? Aw. Rent.

Well, he does, but you never see him there. Even a packing/unpacking montage doesn't seem like it warrants two days of shooting vs. FIVE in the Village.

My nightmare is some dream sequence for the song Santa Fe.

Yeah, dream sequence was my first thought, really.

So, wait. Where's the Rent movie info? I just looked on imdb, and almost all the Bway people are listed, which is very exciting, except...aren't they too old now?

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

Well, I've got a friend who's got a friend working on the movie, so she knew about locations stuff. She didnt talk about casting, as we were too busy constructing the aforementioned Santa Fe dream sequence train wreck.

I had checked imdb, though, and I think that the only two casting changes from the original were Rosario Dawson as Mimi and Traci Thoms as Joanne. That could be all wrong, though.

Right on. Man, I loved Rent. Now I can't decide if I'm excited or dreading it.
