when i read something and really really really love it, i cast it. i have done this for as long as i can remember. this is why i want to be a casting director. it makes sense dunnit.

so i finished reading Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere and after the initial depression that seeps in when i finish a good book wore off and even though i know there's already been a tv miniseries of it made, i've cast most of the major parts for my pretend movie. will these people ever play these parts? prolly not. but something in me feels better by saying i want them too, so, here you go. humor me.

Door played by Ellen Page

wow. this is unbelievable: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byford_Dolphin

after waiting almost two years for it to be released, i finally watched Sunshine the other day and have decided that it is one of my favorite movies. i love that you don't know what sort of space movie it is until the very end and even then it's a combination. everyone does a fantastic job acting in this film, but Chris Evans is damn fantastic. the flicks only shortfall is that the beginning, with the introduction of the crew members, is a little confusing but it seemed to me to be an editing issue rather than an acting issue. i love that there was in depth scientific research done so this film would be as viable as possible (i mean...for a sci fi flick. they're going to the SUN. shut up.). i love that there's a point in which you realize what's inevitable. i love that there are several different types of characters and none of them are doing what they're doing for the obvious reasons. i love that the surprises of this flick are like, "WHOA." surprises. i love that it's subtle and strong and really, really beautiful. it was everything i had hoped it would be. if you get a chance, see this movie.

that's all.
