Edit: Because LJ reads line break coding weird, the too-wide spacing made the end get cut off. So, I fix.

Anji and I were reading yahtzee63's Queer Eye for the Fandom Guy, and we got a bit inspired.


MorrisonsRedhead (Anji): I think it would be funny if [the Fab Five] did Lestat.

Askewnislasher(me): Yes. But which Lestat? Book!Lestat? Tom Cruise!Lestat? Stuart Townsend!Lestat?

MorrisonsRedhead: Book Lestat. he is infinitely superior.

Askewnislasher: But of course. But which one is most deserving of the Fab Five? I think Stuart Townsend!Lestat could stand the be taken down a peg or six. Kyan: "Your complexion. You're . . . gray. I don't know if I can do this."
MorrisonsRedhead: Stuart: "......"

Askewnislasher: Carson: "You were so dapper when you were playing Johnny Depp playing Dorian Gray! We need to kind of get back to that look. Rock star does not have to equal trashy."

( And from here it just gets silly. )

Oh, I forgot: Watched Ed Wood yesterday. Great, great movie. I was all glowy yesterday for several hours after.

It's an odd movie, filmed in black and white, but that's all part of it. (Plus, "odd" and "Tim Burton" are synonymous, yes?) The movie explores the career of real-life director Edward D Wood, Jr, known most famously for Plan 9 From Outer Space, which is the film amongst bad movie enthusiasts. It focusses not just on Wood's career, but also his friendship with Bela Lugosi, his romantic life, and yes, his penchant for wearing women's clothing. (And it gets points for having Wood stress over and over that wearing women's clothing does not equal homosexuality. In fact, most crossdressers are straight men.) All the performances are superb, and this is another one of those fims that displays Johnny Depp's versatility so clearly; his Ed Wood bears no resemblence whatsoever to any other character Johnny has played (okay, that I've seen).

Now I want to watch it again. Too bad we had to return it yesterday.
