When I read The Shipping News, I thought Phillip Seymour Hoffman would be perfect for the main character.

I didn't like the movie as well as the book, but I think Spacey can always make any movie better.

I think PSH would make a perfect Ignatius if anyone ever made a movie of "Confederacy of Dunces". And I also loved him as Lester Bangs in ALMOST FAMOUS.

Busy day!  I watched:

"Paint Your Wagon" -- looks loverly on HDTV in anamorphic presentation.  Seberg's performance remains a joy.  Even Eastwood and Marvin "sound" good (especially compared to what we get too often nowadays).

"The Americanization of Emily"  -- my first time seeing it.  WONDERFUL!

"Peau d'Ane" ("Donkey Skin") -- gorgeous film, exquisite Deneuve.  LeGrand score nowhere near one of his very best, but he does use a lovely theme in many variations.

Good Evening!

Back from an impromptu Game Night at a friend of of a friend's place.  It was very cool.  We started off with a round of Scrabble.  I lost.  And then we moved on to two games that the friend of a friend invented.  Very cool games, and very cool play.  And he has three more being "published" this fall.  And once I get the proper names of the ones we played tonight, I'll pass those on.  But it really was a very nice evening.

Letterman doesn't care.

He's filthy rich.

Sadly, we have no Australian programming on our TV schedules...that I know of.

YES!

I thought that was "in production" at one point and time.  Wasn't it?


-And just what's going on with the film version of "The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay"?

I guess I'll watch one more film before going to bed.

Don't know what it'll be yet.  I may just watch "Law and Order: SVU", but it's somehow not the same.

I gather there is a USA production of Oz comedy "Kath & Kim" being made and "Thank God Your Here" (or whatever it is called) has an American version.  I doubt that there has been any OZ TV worthwhile in the last few years - thanks to "Reality" TV shows.
Top rating show here last week was "It Takes Two". (Singers such as David Campbell take on a "celebrity" as a singing partner).

TOTD: I've been too busy compiling and burning CDs. We are still enjoying Series 2 of "Deadwood".
