pollyanna, walk up the stairs like a lady

is pollyanna the best movie of all time? no, but it's sooooo great. i think i would like to BE pollyanna, except for the orphan part, everything else about her life seems pretty great, her dresses, her house, aunt polly comes around after a while, and everybody loves pollyanna.

this morning when i was trying to fall back asleep at 7 i had the thought "wouldnt it be cool if charlie hunnam cut his hair for season 2 of SOA?" ive seen some pictures from the set, and no, he hasn't. now i'd like to amend my daydream to his cutting his hair and shaving off that wispy beard. don't hide your light under a bushel, charlie (what does that even mean?)


oh, right. that's what it means. how did this go from pollyanna to charlie hunnam? no clue. at any rate, there have been a bunch of announcements for season premieres this week, hopefully they'll announce SOA soon. time seems to go faster when you have an actual deadline to look forward to.

i guess since i'm up so early i may as well go ahead and get my 7-mile run out of he way. my first run since getting the inhaler. i dont know why i am secretly hoping the inhaler is going to make me be able to fly through the longest run ive ever attempted. since i firmly (and probably wrongly) believe that greenpoint gave me asthma, im going to go over the williamsburg bridge today. hopefully there won't be too many people around.

the terror by dan simmons

Crozier - Johnny Depp
Fitzjames - Ewan McGregor
Goodsir - Cillian Murphy
Franklin - Tom Wilkinson
Irving - Charlie Hunnam
Hickey - Robert Carlyle
Peglar - James McAvoy
Bridgens - Anthony Hopkins
Gordon - Peter Sarsgaard

director - Tim Burton (as long as he doesnt cast Helena Bonham Carter as Lady Silence)

it's more likely that russell crowe would be cast as crozier, but i think he lacks sensitivity, and that factor is surprisingly crucial to crozier's character.

i also feel like Jamie Bell should be in this movie. maybe he could be evans.

i tried to cast Rupert Graves in here somewhere. Maybe as Peglar. Then McAvoy could be Hickey, we've never really seen him as a character like that. Could be interesting, actually. but i feel like he's too young to be Hickey, hickey seems like more of an old salt.

this would be a good role for johnny depp, i resisted him as crozier for a while because i felt like he wasnt rough and burly enough to play crozier. i tried a few different actors in the part and had trouble visualizing it. finally, i tried johnny and it fit perfectly. and johnny is such a great actor that this wouldnt be fey jack sparrow, but he would be the Crozier of the book.

and for what it's worth--i cast ewan mcg as fitzjames, but the whole time i was reading the book i was picturing billy crudup.
