Hooray! Celine Dion rumour false! +movie casting +Am Psycho

[Joanne Collins]

Just want to breathe another sigh of relief over the Celine thing being false.

Though I do think they'll get someone to do a song, it seems something that
they need to do in Hollywood.

I wouldn't mind someone like Faith Hill or Trisha Yearwood, who did rather
nice ballads for movie (Trisha did How Do I Live for Con Air, Faith did
There You'll Be for Pearl Harbor, which *I* liked, song and movie).

I'm actually quite fond of Ellis, but I know I'm in the minority :). And I
found American Psycho rather bloody, but I looked at it as an extremely
black comedy. Plus I also believe the 'all in Bateman's head' theory.

Of course, the only dream I had about Bateman involved me killing *him* :).

I dreamed that I'd somehow or other come into a lot of money (I knew it was
a dream then!), and I was somehow or other engaged to Bateman, who was
trying to kill me (I saw it from the outside). He was also having an affair
with my best friend, Minnie Driver (who I can't stand and will only watch
in Good Will Hunting). I remember all these times he was trying to kill me,
like trying to bash my skull in with a hammer as we painted this house (my
parents'), and going to run me over in the car only I got out of the way in
time. It ended up that Minnie and I impaled him on my mum's bottlebrush
bush out the front of the house (a bottlebrush is an Australian native
plant with red flowers). That's when I woke up.

It's the weirdest dream I remember having...

I wonder if it was a way of explaining my attraction to Bateman as well as
my repugnance at his actions (regardless of whether they were all in his
head or not, they were pretty awful).

>Y'all who've actually seen them act, can you 
>report on whether they're any good?

I only know Christian Bale, and yes, he's an *excellent* actor. He's simply
hilarious in the recent version of A Midsummer Night's Dream, chilling but
incredibly sexy in American Psycho, my favourite Laurie in Little Women (if
only he'd had a better Jo...), sweet in Velvet Goldmine and chillingly
sadistic in Shaft. He really seems very versatile, which I think could be a
good thing, he might be close to how we imagine Lupin.

Oh, and if he's Lupin, I have no hesitation in saying that *I want Jack
Davenport for Sirius*. Period. If Christian's the age group, I'm sure Jack
could play Sirius. And he *is* dead sexy :).

>(which would be even funnier).

I think he'd be great!

Joanne.

years, if you're still livin' here, comin' over to my house to watch the
Patriots games, still workin' construction, I'll fuckin' kill you. That's
not a threat. Now, that's a fact. I'll fuckin' kill you. Chuckie (Ben
