Are you certain you aren't secretly living in ita's old apartment? Garages that hold you hostage are just wrong.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Not going in-freaking-sane, trapped in a dark house with no music, no TV, no internet, no light to read or draw by.

Yikes. Although I've learned to keep at least one small radio with batteries in the house after our long power outtage over Christmas. It helps a little bit.

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

Seems like along with actress fungibility goes the need to have younger actresses against older leading men

True, and the dearth of roles for women the age of Angela Bassett is hardly a new thing.

But these women are YOUNG. Like best known for being teens young. Either in reality, or as their last roles. If he was aiming ten years younger, I'd call it sadly typical. But Scarlett and Lindsey are closer to twenty years his juniour.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

More than twenty, even. Ick.

move out and draw fire

Which means not born yet when Cruise started making movies. Weird.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Isn't Lindsey Lohan still playing high school, mostly? Ew.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I can see slightly older actors playing high school-age roles. Real high-school age people are covered by child labor laws, and college-age people aren't.

OTOH, if you can walk into a bar without being carded, it's really time to graduate to older characters.

FWIW, IMDb reports Lohan as 18.

Because books.

Isn't Lindsey Lohan still playing high school, mostly? Ew.

That was my reaction. Her next movie is Herbie: Fully Loaded, or something like that. Yuck.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So if she's 18 and can walk into a bar without being carded, what does that mean?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

So if she's 18 and can walk into a bar without being carded, what does that mean?

Life is good?
