Possible casting news for HP & the HBP - Wizard News suggests he was trying out for the role of young Voldemort. (Didn't we already have that part cast? Or is the actor too old for the role now?)
I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Wait a minute. Are you saying that Rex Racer and Racer X are the same person?

Unbeknownst to Speed, Racer X is his long lost brother Rex Racer.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Crap. I don't know what to do about Fracture. I love Ryan Gosling, and apparently this movie is worth it for his performance alone. But when I watched the trailer I realized it was written by the legal geniuses that must have brought us Double Jeopardy.

DH and I saw Becoming Jane last night, which I think isn't out until August (I guess they're trying to build word of mouth).
It's kind of a Shakespeare-in-Love-esque take on Jane Austen, and unfortunately, the only thing holding it together is the actors. The script is clunky and plodding, the direction is just plain UGLY, and the whole thing looks and feels very cheap. But Anne Hathaway and James MacAvoy are very good together and generate a surprising amount of chemistry out of the very bland material they're given to work with.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Huh, I saw Becoming Jane a couple weeks ago. I liked it well enough, if only for Anne Hathaway and James MacAvoy, who are lovely to watch with each other. The story is thin, the script even more so. But it's quite pretty for all of that, and I was impressed enough with the aging makeup. And I like Anne in period pieces--they suit her well, better than stuff like Devil Wears Prada.

Really? Because right at the top of my list of Things Anne Hathaway Should Never Ever Do is wear age makeup. I think maybe makeup artists are just too reluctant to cover up her great skin to ever make it look realistic.

Heh. Point. But I was thinking more along MacAvoy and the dude that played the brother. It made me double-take because I thought it was another actor, at first.
Speaking of the brother, the B plot of him and the French woman was kinda hot. I loved all the implications of that.
