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

I saw a special about Tatiana's double (whose name I'm forgetting)

She has more than one, in "making of" that I've seen. But surely one primary one.

Colin tried to remove all the magic from that for me by over-explaining, in even more detail than the making-ofs, but when I pointed out we could tell when she was one clone pretending to be another clone, he pretty much nodded and gave props.

Which--the effects are good, but they've been working on those for a long while now. What Tatiana is doing is much rare, and I'm going to assume much harder, judging by the number of actors with 3 expressions and 2 characters.

It sounds like what they are going to do is something similiar to what the Orphan Black special fx crew uses

I'm assuming it will be way more sophisticated than Brandon Lee (how old are we???) but it will be morbidly interesting to compare it to the final Hunger Games.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

So I finally saw Only Lovers Left Alive and, yes, that's EXACTLY what I expected from a Jim Jarmusch vampire movie (that's a good thing, btw).

Also, SWINTON!!!!!

I loved that the font used for the credits and, seriously, the final shot of the movie are straight out of Hammer. Loved!

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

I couldn't believe that was real at first. They're casting via Twitter now!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Wow, I thought for sure that rumor would never turn out to be true.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Well, crap. Now I may have to see it.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Phew! It might just be worth seeing now
