Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

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

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.

Because books.

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.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

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).

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

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

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

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.

Consuela, if you can get the doctor on the phone, maybe a little something for yourself??

No shit. I mean, not to be like "OMG, you really need to calm down!" or anything--more "OMG, you deserve a chance to freakin' relax"

Maybe some medicinal marijuana. :)

Cruise should TOTALLY cast everyone proportionally shorter than him and use forced perspective an' stuff to LOOK 6'5".

OK, I might see THAT, for shits and giggles. I just don't see how Tom Cruise is going to seem physically imposing. And while I don't think the guy has to be UGLY (I mean, he somehow finds women who do shit for him every book, he's gotta have something), he's supposed to be someone who gets on a bus to new towns with his wallet, and like, a knife and a toothbrush. Tom Cruise strikes me as someone who'd have to carry a mirror and gel.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm pretty sure a wallet and a knife would be too many possessions for Real Jack Reacher.

No shit. I mean, not to be like "OMG, you really need to calm down!" or anything--more "OMG, you deserve a chance to freakin' relax"

Yeah, that.

Loki is a big furry ball of therapy. He's making big eyes and puring at me as I rearrange his fatexcess skin. He's a big ball of cuddle. I wish I could ship his soothings to Consuela.
