I like SG's Ruffalo suggestion. They'll probably pick Jonah Hill or that skinny idiot-boy from Socerer's Apprentice.

Zach would be good too - and how about Kirstie Alley in drag?  I'm kidding - they'll probably cast Robert Pattinson after he finishes playing Kurt Cobain (wtf?)

Ruffalo would make a hotter JG, but Zach would save on makeup costs (save for hair dye)!

She was my second favorite of the Dylans.

This is a cool documentary in the works about the last indie record store in Teesside, England and record collecting in general.  Breaks my heart that all the small record stores that I used to buy vinyl from as a kid have closed their doors. (RIP Reckless Records, Rough Trade, Bay Area Records and Tapes, etc.)

Favorite part of the clip: A note in The Smiths section that reads, "8 out of 10 men would turn gay for Morrissey. Scientific fact."  :)

Tonight 7:30pm in movie theaters nationally, Eric Clapton's Crossroads Concert from just last night in Chicago is being shown (one of those type events that movie theaters are increasingly doing). Co-stars BB King, Buddy Guy, Jeff Beck, ZZ Top, Steve Winwood, others.  Details, theaters: http://www.fathomevents.com/concertsandmusic/event/ericclaptoncrossroad.aspx

And, this Thurs 7/29, 7pm, the movie "Elvis on Tour" will be shown in theatres one night.  An opportunity to experience an Elvis concert via the big screen.  Details, theaters: http://www.fathomevents.com/concertsandmusic/series/elvisontour.aspx

I'm watching With Six You Get Egg Roll on TCM right now.  Culturally obnoxious title aside, it's got a few funny moments ("My friend can't meet a man who's her intellectual equal." "Has she tried the yellow pages?"), but the usually delightful Alice Ghostley is a canned ham here, and Doris Day has never exuded warmth to me.  Added bonus: a cameo from the Grass Roots, performing a nonhit called "Feelings" that nicks a lick from "Under My Thumb."  Their drummer looks like young Sean Penn.

"instant family" was a popular meme at the time (see also the orig Yours Mine & Ours) and would of course lead to The Brady Bunch.

Finally caught up with Despicable Me last nite.  Better than I expected (I'm always apprehensive about non-Pixar stuff). Clever, funny and just the right amount of sweetness. If not exactly Toy Story 3, certainly on a par with How to Train Your Dragon and way ahead of noisy obnoxious stuff like Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs.  Bonus: a very nice job of musical scoring by Pharrell Williams of the Neptunes.

A great quote from a movie-blog poster in re: Julia Roberts (on the occasion of Eat Pray Love opening next week):

Ever notice Julia Roberts is one of those women that WOMEN think is beautiful, but NO GUY EVER has EVER found attractive? She's not unattractive, she's actually beautiful if we're speaking technically... but ZERO appeal to any straight guy ever. Have never, ever met a dude with a thing for Julia Roberts. But TOTALLY the one, maybe the only one, chick who every guy's mom or crazy aunt is, "Julia Roberts is the prettiest woman in movies." I don't get it.


I LOL'ed at this, since I've always said something similar -- Julia has always looked to me like her brother Eric in drag. Discuss!
