That's a really interesting article, ita. Especially the section on how the Formula appears to work fairly well for music already. Thanks for the link!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
OMG, Dear Frankie. The voice of young Sophie in Howl's Moving Castle, and Gerard Butler. Beautiful movie.
Because I am weird and strange, I sort of bookend it with The Sailor Who Fell From Grace With the Sea.
If you describe them nutshell fashion, similar premise. Polar opposites, though.

Because books.
He mentions Dear Frankie (in ita's article)! That's next on my Netflix list - it looks fantastic.
A friend once put on Dear Frankie for me, saying, "Oh, you'll love this, it's a total feel-good movie, it's just your thing!"
Yeah, I loved it, but a feel-good movie? I sobbed.

I sort of bookend it with The Sailor Who Fell From Grace With the Sea.I haven't seen Dear Frankie but reading about it made me think of Sailor. That's a screwy movie. Run, Kris Kristofferson, RUN!

Art Crawl!!!
Hollywood actress Rachel Weisz is to star in the film adaptation of Alice Sebold's novel The Lovely Bones. The Oscar-winning actress will play the mother of a 14-year-old girl who is raped and murdered in the movie, which is to be made by Lord Of The Rings director Peter Jackson.

Huh. From what I remember of the book, I don't know if Rachel Weisz is a good fit or not, but I like her, so this sounds promising.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Rachel won me over to her side with her brilliance in The Constant Gardener making me like a character I hadn't in a book I did.
I am terribly curious about PJ's future projects, especially the less fantastic (I can see how he could be terribly wrong for this). I just hated this book.

Rachel is skipping the next Mummy installment. It will be weird to see someone else play Evie.
