![]() ![]() It's an artifact of its era, with elements such as Ray Anthony's dance band for the prom scene New York before it became overwhelmingly crass and vulgar scenes set in a studio version of France when it was still permissible to admit a liking for things Gallic (which is now tantamount to treason - How absurd!) Terry Moore before she began claiming that she'd been secretly married to Howard Hughes and Thelma Ritter allowed once more to almost steal the whole show with her slightly cynical brand of warmth. Fred Astaire, that supremely talented perfectionist, had a graceful and utterly charming partner in Leslie Caron in this oft-told fairy tale, so handsomely mounted by Twentieth Century Fox. ![]() ![]() This story follows the story of Anne and Marco who decided to leave their 6-month-old baby girl, Cora, to attend a dinner party with their neighbors.

We might call the novel experimental because of some of the techniques the writer employs. “Souvenirs can’t help here.” And they don't. “The past is riddled with holes,” she writes. He tries to push the past away, "to land on a little island of time in which tomorrow does not exist, in which yesterday is buried.” Drndic´ leafs through the horrors of history with a cold unflinching wit. Ban’s memories of Belgrade (which he thought he had left behind) and of Amsterdam (a different world and life) alternate with meditations on hole-ridden time (ebbing away through its perforations), on his measly pension, on growing old and fragile, on the intelligence of rats and the agelessness of lobsters, on deadly nightshade. ![]() He sifts through the remnants of his life-his research, books, medical records, photographs-remembering old lovers and friends, the tragedies of WWII, the breakup of Yugoslavia.

I will honestly make any good suggestions to the producer. But you could, for instance, cast Luke Wilson as Theo and Jessica Biel or Jennifer Love Hewitt as Molly.(Just examples, be nice.) (I had people suggesting Margaret Cho for LIly in A Dirty Job, and while I loves the Cho, she’s 40 and Lily was 16.) But you can’t very-well cast Bruce Campbell as Theo and then, say, Jessica Biel as Molly because that would be as creepy as that Richard Gere/Winona Ryder movie from a few years ago. So, for instance, if you were casting as the book reads, you might cast, say, Bruce Campbell as Theo and Demi Moore as Molly. For instance, there’s a good chance everyone might end up ten years younger than they are in the book. You can’t just pick Lucy Lawless for Molly, and be done with it. So, being a completely lazy bastard, I’m asking you. There’s some peeps talking about making a Stupidest Angel movie and they’ve asked me who I would cast.
