Want to waste your time? Be a cineaste.
Cos it takes so much time updating myself on upcoming films and such. Things I read today:
1. Gus Vant Sant's (Finding Forrester, Psycho, Good Will Hunting, To Die For) next film is about a Seattle grunge band, based on Kurt and Nirvana. Lukas Haas and Michael Pitt (The Dreamers, Hedwig and the Angry Inch) are set to appear
2. Nicole Kidman was convinced by her kids Conor and Isabella to accept the role of the White Witch in the upcoming film version of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
3. Sir Ian McKellen will be in the film version of The Hobbit, with Peter Jackson at the helm again
For some months now I've also been reading on Batman Begins, that prequel starring Christian Bale as Batman, supported by huge names like Gary Oldman, Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, and Liam Neeson. Cillian Murphy, Ken Watanabe, and Katie Holmes will also appear. Directed by Memento's Chris Nolan, the film's now shooting in Iceland, they say, and is set for a July 2005 release. Browsing led me to The Machinist, which premiered at Sundance last January and features a skeletal Christian Bale (he lost 63 pounds or so for the role). It's set to be released at the end of the year and am so curious about it. Indeed, Christian Bale is such a disciplined, effective actor you can rarely go wrong with him.
I could finally start updating the company Intranet newsletter, or edit this flyer for our Recruitment Center, or start Photoshopping another poster, or revise my own fic, but no, am editing and posting in our stupid blog. BTW, maybe I am into censorship, to a certain extent, cos I just changed our featured random photo to Lost in Translation. Let's keep it there for a week, shall we? ;)
Oh and that Jurassic edited photo you posted is funny. Lemme know if the DVD trip this Saturday will push through. Am also guilty of re-posting now, cos parts of this post are also in Elephant Still Missing, which now sports a makeover.
Damn. Suddenly I started missing Kurt Cobain with a pang.
