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.

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I read somewhere, I forget who it was, that a short story was the best thing to adapt a movie from.
I can kinda' see that. But in this case, most all the movie is not in the story. (I'm gonna guess that at least 75% of the movie was not based on the story.) It really is a simple story that could be turned into 10 or 15 minutes of film.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
and his former costar (Liv Tyler) grew up thinking that Iggy was her father.
No, no. She thought Todd Rundgren was her father. A not unlikely possibility considering her Mom was living with Todd all through her early childhood. Her Mom, Bebe Buell, was also lovers with Elvis Costello during his Armed Forces album and several of EC's songs are about her.
Also, there's no fuckin' way Elijah's going to be Iggy Pop. No. Way.

That's right. I got my musicians confused (and so did her mom, it appears!).

Bebe Buell's probably the most famous groupie of all. Well, okay, maybe Pamela Des Barres.
I'm With The Band is a great read, btw.

Was she married to Michael Des Barres (whom I only know from To Sir, With Love)?

I think Gloria Plaster Caster would edge her out too.

One of my all-time favorite trashy reads.

Yep, she used to be married to Michael Des Barres.
AKA Murdoc on MacGyver.
Iggy Pop should be in a movie with Seth Green. It would rock.

several of EC's songs are about her.
