Mighta been born just plain white trash, but Fancy was my name

Sep 26, 2008 11:49

It's Katie Fee's Fancy Weekend, so tonight I'm going to put on heels for the first time since ... um, May? I go full-on flat sandals all summer, so it's about time for me to gain my autumn two inches. Here's hoping I can stay upright.

Speaking of which. I am so, so, so over this stupid injury I caused myself. It's one of those things that just won't ( Read more... )

I've gotten into the habit of checking the Hot Seat straight away to see if it's one of yours. I liked that Patrick Wilson one a lot.

Aw thanks! I'm kinda ODing on Famous People interviews, but I have a few more in coming weeks.

How was Saturday? Sorry I couldn't get out there.

It's OK, it was a busy weekend all around! It was fun. Low-key, old-person-style.

Ooh, Patrick Wilson said your name in the interview! I don't know why I'm geeking out about that, I guess it's because sometimes subjects have no idea who's interviewing them, or even what it's for.

Also -- Dan Dreiberg isn't fat, he's just, like all the Watchmen, a costumed vigilante past his prime. The key with Nite Owl is that he wants to go back to being a hero but he's just this mild, sad-sack dude. You should definitely read Watchmen -- it is very much about war and politics.

And after you read it, it will make sense when I say Patrick Wilson definitely belongs on the Watchmen cast, but I STILL say he should be playing golden-boy Adrien Veidt/Ozymandias, and the role of Nite Owl belongs -- BELONGS! -- to John Cusack.

That was me. I forgot I'm using a new browser (Firefox) at work and therefore have to re-log in to all my sites.

Although I suppose the above comment could also have come from Russell.

Heh. You know, with my friends? Wasn't immediately obvious. I like the idea of Cusack, though, as he's sort of gone to seed in a genial way.

Patrick Wilson does seems primed for the golden boy role, if only because his cheekbones don't quit. I flipped through Watchmen quickly, but didn't have time to read it before that interview (a last-minute job that turned from a theater preview to a Hot Seat to a theater interview in the course of it. Ugh. I had to split the time discussing the ethics of profiteering in connection to "All My Sons" and ComicCon talk). He was really thoughtful about the character, and how much he had in common with his Arthur Miller role.

And yeah, he remembered my name, which is always nice, especially when they're clearly not reading it off the paper handed to them by their publicist. Still doesn't beat Stephen Baldwin calling me a fluffy baby chicken, though.

You know, I would like to see "All My Sons" because the play itself sounds interesting, and I like the actors in it... but I feel like I CAN'T because almost any non-regular theatergoer is going to be labeled a celebrity gawker. I couldn't care less that Katie Holmes is in it (in fact, it's kind of a deterrent), and now it's going to be nigh-impossible to get tickets, I'm sure.

Kind of like how I wish I could have seen Paul Rudd and Bradley Cooper in the same play, but was unable thanks to Julia Roberts.
