Depp's a trip, and while I don't think they quite captured the book, it was not an outrage or anything...maybe I'll see the other one.

Punishingly Intricate
My friend dressed as Hunter S. Thompson for this cabaret strip show she and some friends do periodically. It was right before easter this year and the theme was Bunnies and Hunters. I'm sure her version kicked both Depp & Murray versions' asses.

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.
Yep, Kate, that's the one. And Sue, I'm only getting it because I found out Bono does the commentary track.
My obsession forces me to do horrible, horrible things.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
British actors Ian McKellen and Alfred Molina have been added to the cast of the anticipated screen adaptation of Dan Brown's controversial novel The Da Vinci Code. The movie, which will be directed by Ron Howard, features Oscar-winning actor Tom Hanks in the lead role as Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon. Molina will portray Bishop Arigarosa, who takes a strong interest in the Holy Grail-pursuing efforts of Langdon and cryptographer Sophie Neveu, played by Audrey Tautou. McKellen takes on the role of wealthy eccentric Sir Teabing, who also has an interest in tracking down the Holy Grail.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Well, that's an interesting take on the character. McKellan's, I mean. Of course, Hanks is, too.
And then I realize that the description's from the other book. I was really bored. Please don't shun me.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Tom Hanks as Langdon? That just seems wrong for some reason. The rest of the casting sounds good though.

I hate the book too much to call the casting anything other than "apt" or "likely to be successful."

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I liked The Davinci Code although, I thought Angels and Demons was a much better book.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!
really like "The Ground Beneath Her Feet" (title taken from the Salman Rushdie book, which... has nothing at all to do with the movie, IIRC).
Rusdie wrote the lyrics, IIRC.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Harvard symbologist
I am still working on what this job is. Is he the guy who designs those signs-without-words in airports? The guy who invented the "pull this heavy object don't pull it or it will tip over and squash you" sign that goes on soda vending machines? Did he draw the original Mister Yucky?
