Mal ,'Out Of Gas'
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.
I bet he still keeps it all, though.
Oh, definitely. Kinda shoved under the couch. But I just wanted to dispell the myth of actual files proper. There's a mysterious coding system -- pizza sauce means one thing, plum sauce another, and curry -- well, we won't speak of that.
and curry -- well, we won't speak of that.
::dips Teppy's file in curry::
IIRC, you had to come up with the curry classification BECAUSE of me.
I can't remember -- which sauce classification did you have to invent just for erika?
Judging from my musical tastes, probably tabasco.At least until, like my idols, I run completely off the rails, becoming a cautionary tale until somebody has to retrieve my knickers from a national monument or I hit my ex with a footrest, at which time I write nothing but Goddess chants for ten years. Then it will be vanilla extract.

Ray Bradbury must be rolling in his grave. But that's probably because he's still alive.
And I just don't get most cases of short-story->full-length-film....
C'mon, you know The Ig's only five foot one, Frank.
yeah but he has a 10-inch cock
he has no body fat, he's just guh.
I will say, the fact that the man is in that kinda shape at his age (and given the life he's lead) is pretty amazing.
Plus, I remember him on Letterman back in the 80s where he did his full-on run out in audience, give it his all performance, and then when he talked to Dave just seemed like this gee-whiz midwest kid with a big grin.
Age has pretty much done in the gee-whiz, but the give it all is still there by all accounts (and muscleculture). He's like Keith Richards crossed with Tigger.

Is that the one where Dave opened with "So, how're you doing Iggy?" and Iggy replied, "Doin' alright. Suckin' and fuckin'."

I read somewhere, I forget who it was, that a short story was the best thing to adapt a movie from. I guess because it's long enough to provide the idea and characters but short enough that you don't have to adhere to it slavishly. Memento was based on a short story. It may have been a Christopher Nolan interview, actually.
It's weird how everything in Hollywood seems so damn incestuous--Elijah Wood might be playing Iggy Pop, and his former costar (Liv Tyler) grew up thinking that Iggy was her father. Just struck me as strange how that connects.
