Brad and Angelina...causing concern.

As I mentioned in a post some time ago, there was buzz about a movie being made after the novel Atlas Shrugged and at the time of which I had heard and read about it, Jodie Foster was being touted as playing the main lead, Dagny Taggert. Well this just in, check out the full article here, it would seem Hollywood's super couple, no the other one(Brad and Angelina) have shown great interest and according to the report, "Not making the denial file was a recent Variety report that said the A-list amours might be on the short-list to topline the long-in-the-works big-screen adaptation of Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged."

I do see him as Henry Reardon, I can do that. However, her for Dagny? No. I like her, I do and I have enjoyed many of her pictures but she doesn't have the sophistication that Foster would bring to it. And quite frankly, I didn't see the chem in Mr. and Mrs. Smith to want to see them together on big screen again anyway. I enjoy their work separately and do hope it continues to stay that way....we'll have to see what the final result is on the picture - should it EVER get made in the first place, eh?

Can you say, Hypocrit?!

Okay, it's been a while that I've posted, this I know. I've been buried in a book I wanted to finish so with that done I can catch up on the latest news that just set me off.

Seriously giving benefit of the doubt, I tuned into PrimeTime last Friday to see the interview with Cheney's daughter...I'm not even going to use her first name because she is evidently without any identity of her own anyway.

I can appreciate that she may be a republican, lesbian woman. Is she? Still don't know although she does answer questions like a politician. While I will definitely give her credit for poise and excellent articulation, I can only say she has more spin potential than a merry-go-round.

She spoke of her struggle and inner conflict during the 2004 presidential campaign as they had an obvious hard stance against homosexuality and their hate was such that they actually sought to amend the constitution to further discriminate against homosexuals for marriage, adoption, breathing, etc.

He life partner of a significant time has been embraced by her mother and father and is one of her family although never to be legal? How does one compromise their own freedoms and beliefs to back their father? Regardless of her father, she stated she would have STILL supported and elected Bush?! She did make mention that she couldn't run the race soley on this one issue however given it is HER life that she was touting for it's not just a sole issue any longer but your own future.

My father and I adamently disagree with politics and he does see it as special rights and doesn't think kids should be brought into the mix as they have it hard enough, and blah blah - and I love him and he loves me regardless of all this. However and I stress HOWEVER - I would NEVER support his political platform, ideas, beliefs, or vote him in knowing he does not serve MY best interest at heart - one in which has no bearing on the rest of the world in the terms of REALITY and not religious rhetoric.

Do I understand her relationship and love for her parents, yes. Can I understand her support under the 2004 campaign...absolutely not. She was a tolken and got used, period.

Whew...I'm back! LOL.

Finished! Just...

It took two months longer than I had anticipated but I did finally complete Fingersmith. WOW! Best work of her's I've read yet. It took me to page 70 to move with it but once I reached that mark I flew through the book. It's been a 'bible' at my side for the past week where I've been reading bits and pieces at every given moment available.

Anyone who's read Sarah Waters knows she is an incredible story teller as her previous works: Tipping the Velvet and Affinity are both set in 19 century London and spin incredible character development that pulls you right in. Fingersmith is on the same page as her previous novels. Started a bit slower or else I just had a hard time getting going but like in Affinity where you end the book with such emotion and betrayal, Fingersmith ends the first part with that same blaze of emotion. Part two continues the rollercoaster of emotion bringing you rushes of anger and panic as well as the plummetting lows of pain and suffering. Finally, in part three, you are brought so high in the climactic moment that you can't breathe and are running through line after line and page after page wishing you read faster and faster to find out the secrets and fates of the characters.

Looking forward to picking up the DVD and seeing if they can re-enact this story as well as they filmed T the V. With Part One and Two overlapping in story, it will be interesting how they maneuver the movie.

And although it hasn't been said - I HIGHLY recommend this book...wow, still palpatating over the ending.

Nice Genes...are they Levi?

Blouse is quite fetching as well! Don't know who she's talking to but they are getting on her nerves, it would seem.
