whoops/casting/Wood

[chanteuse thalia chaunacy]

re my previous email: oopsie-daisies, sent reply to list instead of 
writer, my bad.

but while i'm at it--

my number one rule of life: LOOK FOR THE BIG PICTURE. we don't know 
what's going on. we don't know what the script looks like and we don't 
know what the auditions were like and well basically we don't know diddly 
squat.

but we know the books.  and we know we love the idea of the movies.

so why the hostility? perhaps we shouldn't get so offended over something 
about which we don't have the whole story. perhaps we should at least 
attempt to get the whole story first. all i hear are complaints based on 
superficiality (casting) and a very small piece of the movie-making pie 
(absence of Wood).

and, on a sidenote, why do so many people sound so determined to hate 
every decision involved in making this movie? have YOU ever tried to make 
a movie out of a book? have you ever tried to make a movie at all? have 
you ever tried to work for a business like warner bros? there are so many 
aspects of this, more than i can even fathom.

all i'm asking for is a little less ignorance.

and come on, folks, we'd go to see it come hell or high water.
