I look more rad than Lutheranism

Lee Pace is marvellous! I find the show a bit precious, but for Lee Pace I'll sit through it. He's who John Cusack should have grown up to be.

According to the IMDB page for Pushing Daisies, apparently Adam Brody was considered for Lee Pace's part. I *think* he could have pulled it off, but he would have had a lot of Seth Cohen-ness to get out from under.

But Lee Pace doesn't really have that kind of role recognition, so he just does his thing.

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

I think Brody could have done a good job (and by typing it that way, I'm also thinking of Adrien Brody, but he'd have to get over himself first). But I'm so glad Lee's got it.

Lunch today is a very sour apple and a buttered bagel. And water. My stomach's being weird again.

I think I may aim to use public transport or walk a bit more often now that I've proven neither option is immediately fatal.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I think AB is a-freaking-dorable, and can do the dry wit thing, but there's sort of a resignedness that LP does. He puts a hint of Eyeore in the role.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Lee Pace is simply perfect.

So it would probably be My Sort of Thing. (Especially with the Tim Burton comment about it from upthread!) I guess I should try to catch it.

Sigh. I wish your DVD player liked my DVDs. I'll make you guys watch it.

Punishingly Intricate

Who was the narrator?

He's the same guy who does the Harry Potter books on tape. I want to say Jim Dale (am too lazy to look up).

But then! Those brief flashes of undiluted utter delight. Truly, I think it's those wee glimpses of utter delight that got me.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I thought he sounded familiar, but I don't think I ever listened to a Harry Potter book on tape.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Right, there was a bit of the Elfman/Burton thing in there.

Speaking of Seth Cohen, here is my SAT analogy:

Felicity:Sydney Bristow::Seth Cohen:Chuck Bartowski

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I found out that Pushing Daisies is streaming at the ABC website, so if you've been intrigued by the description here, you could give it a couple minutes right now! Not that I'm an enabler or anything, but I think if you give it five minutes you'll want to see the rest (if you're not bon bon, anyway.)

Lee Pace! I'd claim him for my own, except I think Vonnie would shiv me.
