"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

When you posted this did you know he was under consideration too, or did you jinx things? ::gives stinkeye::

I hadn't seen the official announcement as of my post, but I knew it was coming. They've already worked their way through most of young blond Hollywood casting for that role, and he plays a soldier in everything.

The sad thing is he actually looks more the part than the other names mentioned except maybe Evans, and with actual military combat training has the physicality needed. If only those qualities were paired with any acting talent or charisma...

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I saw Shutter Island tonight. A few parts of the book that I felt were key to the story were left out, but overall I liked it.

Tim Burton is going to direct a 3-D stop-motion Addams Family movie. After Alice In Wonderland, I am very conflicted about this. [link]

So, I'm guessing Johnny Depp will be voicing Gomez & HBC Morticia. *sigh*

Because books.

Oh, nobody better have a British accent. Please.

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

I'm a bit conflicted too.

I think I should just read my Charles Addams books to the kids tonight.

I just ... okay, fine, I will go see Dark Shadows when it's released, because there is no way I will be able to resist vampires + Tim Burton. But I don't automatically trust him with gothy icons anymore. Which feels very strange, like I've been going through a bad break-up.

Because books.

And I love the Angelica Huston/Raul Julia versions so much. It's sort of been done, in my mind. Why bother?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I'd be way more excited if Henry Selick were slated to do a stop-motion Addams Family.

Hell, even Wes Anderson.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Why bother?

Because this version will actually show them making Girl Scout cookies out of real Girl Scouts?

OK, I got nuthin'.
