Whoa. Hold the phone.
1. Who did you kidnap?
2. Why?
3. Have you released them yet?

Clearly you don't hang out in the art world.

I don't get it either, especially when you see people copying artists, like Mondrian's signature structured style or Pollock's kinetic energy, over and over in all walks of life.
And it's not like that's all they could do. Many artists whose work looks like something you could do, were brilliant artists in the more traditional sense, too.

Correct. My non-keg party discussions are usually limited to literature.

Agree that choice for Gareth was truly inspired.
As I just saw it (for the umpteenth time) this weekend, my votes are from Gosford Park: Kristin Scott Thomas and Maggie Smith. (The girl who plays Maggie Smith's maid is excellent, but I don't know enough about her to say whether she's singularly fitted for that role.) |

Don't know if it's a "course", but I'd learn to play the violin. (No, I'm not kidding.) |

Why would we think you're kidding about violin after the trapeze thing? Violin sounds downright pedestrian in comparison.

Excellent list. I would add:
Samuel L. Jackson - Jules Winnfield (Pulp Fiction)
Don Knotts - Barney Fife
Jimmy Stewart - George Bailey (It's a Wonderful Life)
George C. Scott - Patton

Sorry, I had just gotten stoned and was waiting for the munchies to kick in before I knew what I wanted, and then it came to me - a fucking BK veggie burger. Then I went home and committed suicide.

Thanks for reminding me. I had a (STUPID, STUPID) fall off my horse on Saturday, leaving me a bit lame (no, in the other sense or that word). However, I am bravely sallying forth to my next trapeze lesson on Friday.
In sum, my life's ambition is to be a copy-editing, violin-playing carnie. Hey. It could happen. |
