Obligatory August Post

Where does the time go?

Let's see, what kind of nonsense shall I post for August?

Got on a kick of trashy fantasy and found myself re-watching Ladyhawke with Matthew Broderick, Rutger Hauer, and Michelle Pfeiffer. I can't help but love that movie despite the rough acting. Makes me wonder how it would fare with a remake (better effects, better soundtrack, higher production values). Was chatting with a friend and we started speculating how that could go down. Peter Jackson would, of course, be the ideal director. Interestingly, Steven Amell, of "Arrow", was put forward for the hero's role and I really like that idea. Made me think Melissa Benoist (sp?) of "Supergirl" would be an interesting Isobel/Ladyhawke. Not entirely sure who to cast as Phillipe Gaston ("The Mouse"). It would have to be someone young, witty, and charming.

My alternate suggestion instead of Amell might be Chris Helmsworth. I could see him pull that off.



I'm back to a bit of a dry spell for reading material. I have a book on order, but don't have high expectations for it. All my other favorite authors are sort of between releases. Sigh.

Yeah, I guess that's it for August. Whee.
