Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've heard good things about it, though.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It kind of feels like the role he was born to play.

Are you looking forward to or dreading the Black Dahlia movie?
I'm looking forward to it! I'm actually planning to go into a movie theater to see it!
My feeling on the movie (as with all other movies, documentaries, books and Hunter episodes) is that we're never going to know who really killed Elizabeth Short. It will forever remain an unsolved mystery. So I enjoy all the theories and the fiction based on the crime.
It's about the death of George Reeves, - the actor who played the TV Superman.
The person who wrote the (original) screenplay said he was disappointed that they rewrote the script and made it much less about George Reeves and more about the Adrian Brody character. It made me less interested in seeing it.
(Because they are the Cheese.)
Indeed, they are.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

It has a really cool, supernoir trailer. I like the song they use; do you know what it is?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I loves me some sad-eyed Adrien Brody and am looking forward to the movie. I also want to see the Black Dahlia movie, for the same reasons as Kristen, but I worry about the De Palma hackification of it. He never had an original idea in his life, and his films are only good if he is blatantly copying the style of paying homage to a really good director. He has great source material in the Ellroy novel and is going the noir route, so I am hoping it all works.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
You could probably say Curtis Hanson is/was quite the hack himself, but LA Confidential was ok. Not that that predicts anything. But this moved was on the shelf for awhile, wasn't it?

I thought it was actually in development hell for a while, not on the shelf - Fincher was originally signed to do it, IIRC.

Man, as bad as I thought Ryan's performance was last night? Tonight was god awful. It's like he is trying so damn hard to be something he is not.

This is why I call him The Poseur. First week, he was all tormented John Mayer boy. In the weeks since, he's been everything from David Gahan to Sgt. Pepper in Mourning.
