Confederacy, Confederacy, Confederacy!
Will Ferrell, Will Ferrell, Will Ferrell!

my favorite part of all the real girls is by far the scene in the hospital, where patricia clarkson (who's fucking great in it by the way) and paul schneider are dancing as clowns for the kids with cancer.  that scene made me grin, genuinely.  the energy floated off the screen during that scene and i became a part of the mad clown dance.
i wanna lick 'em.

I just saw George Washington for the first time. I enhoyed it alot, but I think the thing I enjoyed most was the reunion between the cast. it was so surreal, it almost seemed like they were all so alike in the movie, yet they grew apart and were different in the reunion. But I guess thats acting. Oh and I got this criterion dvd for $10. A perfect used copy.
Falling in love is the greatest joy in life. Followed closely by sneaking into a gated community late at night and firing a gun into the air.

am i the only one who doesn't like the idea of will ferrel as ignatius?

in casting the film in my mind, ignatius is played by al hirt and lana lee and darlene are played by tura satana and the blonde chick from "faster pussycat, kill kill!" respectively.

i hope that dgg can portray the trashy feel that one gets from the book.

I don't know if Ferrell can pull off the role, it worries me.  There were so many better choices.  I don't know if I'm even going to see the movie, I've never felt as strong about an adaptation as I do with this...

I think he'll do just fine, with Green behind the camera. To me he's one of those directors who just drag great performances out of his actors, and I don't think Will Ferrell is a bad one at all. I can see how some might see nothing but a comedian, but I know I can glimpse real actor talent in him. I think he'll be great.

Actually, I think I'm more worried about the script.  Has anyone read it?  A review anywhere?  Mm?  Mm?

the only reason i don't like will in the role is b/c of his physical proportions (ignatius is very very fat) and i'm skeptical of whether or not he can put on a louisiana accent. hopefully, they'll use prosthetic make up and a fat suit on him and that will solve the weight issue, but i guess i'll just have to wait and see about that accent.

now that i think about it, me too. it's a pretty long book, i don't know what they could cut out of it to get it at a decent running time. but, once again, we'll see.

I don't think the book is so eventfull that it can't be covered in a film.

I do think that Will Farrell might not be the best person to play Ignatious.  I'm sure they'll give him a fat suit... I don't think you could have a thin Ignatious, but I just don't think he's the right kind of funny.

If I'm not mistaken, hasn't Confederacy been scrapped (yet again)?
