Yeah, I can totally see how that source material intrigued Nolan.
Why isn't there a movie of Carter beats the Devil?
(Although, honestly, I liked The Prestige better)
Lorne: You know what they say about people who need people. Connor: They're the luckiest people in the world. Lorne: You been sneaking peeks at my Streisand collection again, Kiddo? Connor: Just kinda popped out.

I think I read somewhere a year or so ago that it was optioned and the script was being worked on. Of course, that means nothing if it doesn't get financing. It was a good book--I'd like to see a movie version!

Just watched Sin City. Man, the hobbits kinda took it in the chops in this movie, huh?
Possibly the best movie adaptation of a graphic novel I've seen.
Funny moment: "Is the priest Ray Vecchio?" "No, but he looks really familiar." "He kinda looks like Frank Miller, actually." "Frank Miller played Ray Vecchio?"

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Johnny Depp and some other people are back: direct link to a Pirates of the Caribbean trailer.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Saw Repo Man for the first time in ages. Didn't seem to hold up as well as I thought it would. Miriam says that maybe one needs to be stoned to fully appreciate it. Or maybe it just doesn't seem as weird as it did in the '80s.
The life of a Repo Man is always intense!

Good evening Otto. This is Agent Rogers. I'm going to ask you a few questions. And since time is short and you may lie, I'm going to have to torture you but I want you to know it isn't personal.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I just saw The Libertine. REALLY badly directed. Murky, oddly paced, badly shot and the script really betrayed its former life as a play. Even the good performances of Johnny Depp and Samantha Morton could not make it worthwhile. My advice, buy the poster with the close up of both of their wonderful faces, for you will get more enjoyment out of looking at it than you will from the film.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
What a lot of movie disapointment!
We saw Harry Potter again today - still fun!
