'Sleeper'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
but "Diablo Cody" *is* a bit Much.
Huh. It never even occurred to me that it might be a pen name. I know so many people whose actual names are so much less plausible. I mean, now that I think of it, sure, what parent would name their infant girl Diablo? And yet, I grew up with people sincerely and unironically named Aragorn and Arwen and Fritha Nicoletta.
It's not her real name?
I am in no place to judge.
Okay, sometimes I judge. That time never occurred to me.
I think her name is Brooke Burns or something.

A couple I know named their twins Luke and Leia. It's kind of fun to play "spot the cultural zeitgeist at your birth" with names.

I presume they've been raised since birth to know they're related, so they're safe.
DANGER WILL ROBINSON DANGER.
Tempting fate. IJS.
I wouldn't name my kid Oedipus even if I intended to raise him with me and his dad. It's a thing.
Brooke Burns
I just looked it up - Brook Busey. Also, in "huh" news, she's producting the film adaptation of Breathers (which I have on my to-be-read pile) and of the Sweet Valley High books.
I really want to see Gunless.
Ugh. WHY, WHY FILMMAKERS??? WHY YOU GET A BAY FOAL FOR INFANT SECRETARIAT??? Sheesh.
Also? Dude, Malcovich, could you at least try to sound like Lucien Laurin insted of John Malcovich?
I hate it when they get the horses wrong. They cast a chestnut as Pie in National Velvet! That made no *sense*. The whole point was that it was a piebald horse, so no one thought he could jump. Yes, I know, the movie is 50 years old, but it still bugs me. They probably couldn't have found a piebald jumper anyway.
I was watching some movie, supposed to have been set in France in the Middle Ages or somesuch, I can't remember because I walked out and left the movie to my ex-BF when I saw the hero riding an Appaloosa. Ex-BF to his credit was appalled when I explained what an Appaloosa was and why therefore there couldn't have been any Appaloosas in Europe in the Middle Ages. He still watched the movie though.
