Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I canna see any youtube links anymore. also no fb from work.
Crying in therapy is my favorite thing! I should go back.
Okay, someone on Jezebel suggested a race-mixed version of Pride and Prejudice, hinging on making Tyler Perry Mr. Collins. Which is an excellent role for him. She's suggested the following:
- Jane: Kerry Washington
- Lydia: Raven Symone
- Mrs Bennett: Loretta Devine (my suggestion)
- Mr. Bennett: Clarke Peters
- Darcy: Patrick Wilson
- Bingley: Andrew Garfield
- Wickham: Ryan Reynolds
I think she's probably pretty young, and also she can't think of a definitive Lizzy--any suggestions?
I like Loretta Devine too much for her to be Mrs. Bennett.
Sure - but I bet she'd have fun playing the part.
Who for Bingley's sisters?
I'm not sure about her acting chops, but Aisha Tyler came to mind for Lizzie. Too old? ETA: She's 41. I was going to suggest Gabrielle Union as an younger alternative but she's 38!
I suppose this was inevitable....
Playboy and Virgin Galactic Dream Up Cosmic Men's Space Club
There would be no windows in the zero-gravity dance club, but there would be drinks, served by Playboy bunnies wearing jetpacks. And there would be exterior windows in the private "orbital pleasure dome," so clubgoers could gaze down at Earth during romantic interludes including, you guessed it, sex in space, the writers added.
Dang, I was going to suggest Anika Noni Rose, who trained at San Francisco's ACT, has plenty of classics experience on stage, and did a lovely job breezily snarking the shit out of a highborn fellow who thought much too well of himself in The Princess and the Frog, but she turns 40 this year.
Ah, most onerous of onerous tasks done, or done enough. Blew it on the laundry however, and missed out on getting to BevMo. And I can't confirm if my son's bus schedule is going to be screwed up again today. But eh, guess I'll take what I can get and say it's been a pretty good day.
