Well, it looks like I'll have to be number II...

Torture

Fucking Dolphins. Really these fish heads always have the Pat's number. What made it worse was having to watch it with a Dolphin fan, not just a Dolphin fan, but Jake Long's (aka the first pick of the NFL draft) girlfriend... brutal. At least I got to see the game.

Hollywood = no

LA = win

College don't mean SHIT!

That's a quote from Samuel L. Jackson ladies and gentlemen. Otherwise known as the second most valuable box office actor (out of all the movies he's been in, all of them together are second only to) Harrison Ford. So if you want to make money with your movie either cast a) Harrison Ford  b) Sammy L. or c) Vinny Chase, jk. Anyway, Hollywood, I live there now, and I have been absorbed into entertainment culture. As much as I try to ignore that fact, it's true. I go to work, where I read scripts and do coverage (at Jim Henson Company, so there is the occasional puppet battle), thats 4 days a week. The other 1 day I take classes about movies. Then on the week days I come home, and since we have very fucking channel, I watch movies. MOVIES. Also, right now I have the final draft for Inglorious Bastderds (sic). Hollywood baby. Watch out for: Asteroid Man, Part Time, Pass the Buck, and other real deal shit (this shit may not hit the screen ever). INSIDER info. This is where I work:

Throwback

So I was sitting in class today, watching a movie (because I go to Emerson), and I was thinking. If Dark Knight was shot in the golden age of cinema (50's-60's), who would play the leads? So, here goes:

The Joker: Jack Lemmon

A comedian by nature, Lemmon could easily fill the shoes of the Clown Prince of Crime. His role in Some Like it Hot show that he can take on another persona. His idle chuckling fits with the character, and his face has that constantly creeping smile. Throw on some messy makeup (again, see Some Like it Hot) and this he's a shoe-in.

Harvey Dent/Two Face: Tony Curtis

Lemmon's partner in crime in Some Like it Hot. Tony plays the straight man with the pretty face. Who better to play Gotham's White Knight? His ability to flip from goofy stooge, to serious and stiff jawed shows his potential to be, well, two faced.

Jim Gordon: Gary Cooper

Two words, one movie: High Noon. Gary is one bad ass mother fucker who won't watch his city turn to shit. Sounds like Gotham's finest cop on the force to me. Throw on a mustache, a badge, and good 'ol Gary becomes the Commish.

Rachel Dawes: Grace Kelly

The chick. The tough chick. Kelly's got the chops. Opposite Cooper in High Noon, she hangs tough until she can't anymore. The damsel in distress, who can also stick up for herself. Plus the movie needs a good looking broad.

Lucius Fox: Sindney Poitier

A strong African American actor. Back in the day, there weren't exactly too many of these guys around. Sidney could bring to life Lucius, much in the same way his predecessor Morgan Freedman did. Plus he's, you know, Black.

Alfred Pennyworth: Buster Keaton

Who else could play Bruce's aged, witty, companion and mentor better then Buster. Sure he'd be old, but his years of silent film work would suit him perfectly for the job as Wayne Manor's silent guardian. Give him a few clever jabs every once and a while, and Keaton would run away with the role.

Batman/Bruce Wayne: James Dean

The man, the myth, the legend. The one who passed before his time. Dean has both the youth and maturity to hold up the mantle of the bat. He can play both sassy playboy, as well as serious badass. I mean, Batman pretty much is a rebel (although, with a cause).

Agree? Disagree? Have now idea what I'm talking about? Discuss!

Torn

I awoke early this Sunday morning after a typical Saturday night so that I could catch the west coast airing of the Pats. They played the Jets/Fish game instead. Lame.

Brady gets injured. Lame.

Brady out for season. Now I'm tearing up a bit.

BBQ.

Got It!
