Tom Selleck is too old, but that's more what I'd have in mind. Somebody who really "looks" like they stepped out of the Old West.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07823808700523297184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4651358851207677633.post-81451158977259684952011-01-28T23:37:30.804+01:002011-01-28T23:37:30.804+01:00That's right Dezzy, I think all the crazy yo-y...That's right Dezzy, I think all the crazy yo-yo-ing of his weight's got to take a toll on his body.

(For those who watched the Disney cartoon Alice in Wonderland, a famous line sung by the Cheshire Cat, "and the mome raths outgrabe," was taken from a poem in Lewis Carrol's book called Jabberwocky. Just a little useless context for ya.) And I have a nerdy crush on Tahmoh Penikett, though I know him better as Paul Ballard in Dollhouse.<br /><br />Wow, I just read what I wrote and realized I am such a power geek.

It's like The Fairy Queen in our world. The poem itself, taken out of the context of AiW has nothing to do with AiW, though, so it makes sense that you can make a stand-alone story out of it without there being any references to AiW.<br /><br />Does that make any sense or am I just confusing people more? :)<br /><br />Yes, Dez, it was filmed in Bulgaria...Around November - December, I believe.Wandering Coyotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01478039463695542535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4651358851207677633.post-74259989324630580572011-01-27T23:14:22.964+01:002011-01-27T23:14:22.964+01:00@Anonymous

I love Christian in almost everything that he's done, but I really don't want to watch him lead another dark franchise...3 films and a tv series...sheesh! I want him to do more films like The Fighter, Rescue Dawn, The Machinist. Or historical dramas like Empire of the Sun and New World...I'm really hoping this 13 Women of Nanjing film turns out well. And he can obviously do dark comedy because American Psycho is fantastic! <br /><br />Anyway...I really hope they cast Viggo!
