Wow, i didn't even know it was made into a movie. I love that book.

Completely OT, i found this interesting tidbit on Shia LaBeouf regarding his mom's "Goddess group".

Yacarete - Whoa. The weird-o-meter just went off the scales with that guy. What is it with rich people thinking they're gods and goddesses...

Christopher Knowles said...

I don't think his parents were rich. She was a hippie pagan type- many of whom think they're gods or goddesses and very few of whom have any money to speak of.

Ah, I see. My mistake. I don't often trust the "official" stories behind most actors though.

almost the exact opposite of a scene in Charlie Kauffman's Synecdoche New York. Phillip Seymour Hoffman had a daughter named Claire who was tatooed similarily.

Where did my brain cells go? I seem to have read over the part where you said "I don't think his parents were rich". That's not an official story at all. I just don't think it's possible to come from a place with no money into Hollywood fame.

In sci fi related news, today is Star Wars day. May the 4th be with you.

Say what? I thought they (stars) mostly tended to come from poor underpriviliged backgrounds. You know the gig - travelled from town to town, school to school, with Mum only (Dad left years ago) Never really fit in anywhere etc etc.

eg.
Matt Damon (lived poor with Mum)
Leo De Caprio (lived poor with Hippy parents)

At least that's what Bio Channel told me... You sayin I've been duped?

This is one of my favorites from childhood. Holds up well. Bradberry released the book as a vehicle for several of his short stories, some which had appeared in other collections of his, and at least one had been published as a play.

Speaking of disturbing, this ad was over on HuffPo:

David D - If you're serious: Yes, you've been duped. Turn off your TV.

Davidly - I sure hope you haven't inspired anyone to look up what "Futanari" is after posting that link. Anyone thinking of doing so, please reconsider.
