I need you guys to be my witness--I just updated my BOSS on the project status without any prompting. See! I'm learning. Staying ahead on this one.

However, I thought I would hate him as Lestat, and I didn't.

I didn't like him there. But I think I can make a compelling argument that Brad Pitt should have played most of the roles in that movie. Well, either it is actually compelling or Jilli and Plei wanted me to shut up. It's a toss up. But I stand by my convictions.

Man, I feel like I'm all BOB NEEDS CLONOPIN these days. Sorry if I'm kind of one-note, it's boring even to me.

It's not. This is stressful. And your mom needs major benzos.

But also sort of that staring at a cat is a bad idea.

It is. But I am thinking of you and Homer.

Hang in there, Homer! And Jesse, snuggles are never wrong.

Someone just used a "Catlike typing detected" macro and didn't know it was a real thing.

I'm trying to balance feeling old with feeling like I have no outside life, but decided both are true enough--no need to pick just one.

Hey, the board ate part of my last post. I meant to say also that Paul Bettany would have been my Lestat, right or wrong. Tom Hardy is a cool idea, though.

Crazy or not, I think TC could become a convicted murderer and I'd still think Legend was the bomb (and I think it's that cinematography that I compare LOTR trilogies to, and they suffer for it).

Yes, do snuggle the Homer.

Brad Pitt playing all the roles (possibly NOT Claudia) would have been awesome. I don't think Paul Bettany existed in my brain at that time, but I love him in everything, including that horrible Wimbledon movie with Kirsten Dunst (Claudia). I do always feel a little bad, because I am just a Louis girl, no matter what. I totally appreciated everything Anne Rice did with Lestat, because the change in point of view from Interview to The Vampire Lestat, and how it just changed everything was brilliant, but at the end of the day, I just still sort of want Lestat and Louis to settle down together somewhere quiet and peaceful.

Visible air. That's what the words "Ridley Scott" bring to mind: Legend, Blade Runner, Alien. Other things, too, obviously. But immediately? Visible air.

After he was laid off at 40, Lee Child deliberately set out to create lucrative thrillers. I doubt he would say much about the casting if the deal was right. As I recall, he's said he thinks of Jack Reacher as his height, which is 6'5".

Cruise should TOTALLY cast everyone proportionally shorter than him and use forced perspective an' stuff to LOOK 6'5". It could be a whole reverse-Hobbit thing.

How does someone sound Jewish?

It could be an inflection/cadence/word-arranging kind of thing. I can't describe it well, but as far as I can tell you don't so much talk like a Catskills comic.

The Average White Baby is in the house!

And Matilda is feeding him.
