Late night thought

[tahnan]

With the upcoming Julie & Julia, based on the book based on the blog (side note: I hate her hate her hate her for being all famous just because she's got talent and stuff why can't I be famous), and of course Secret Diary of a Call Girl based on the book based on the blog, it struck me that movies-from-blogs may be the next Big Thing.

And what else has Hollywood liked recently? Well, Stardust and Coraline and the apparently-in-development Graveyard Book...

So it's obvious to me that if only a studio would make neilgaiman.com: the movie, it would break box office records! (This, incidentally, is why I am legally barred from coming within 150 yards of Hollywood.)

You are entirely correct. Featuring music by Amanda Palmer! Co-starring Amanda Palmer as the cradle-robbed love interest!

(Yeah, this is how rumors get started. But every movie needs a love interest, and I need Neil to stop talking quite so much about Amanda Palmer on his blog.)

Does he? I don't actually read Neil Gaiman's blog. I'm a bad geek.

On the other hand, I love Amanda Palmer. :-)

I grudgingly like her music, but I'm friends with too many Wesleyanites who thought she was a beaver in college. Shouldn't matter, and yet somehow it does. Ah, well!

In completely unrelated news, if you haven't seen this yet, you really must enjoy it immediately: Ultimate Rejection Letter.

Yeah, I have, and...yeah. Yeah.
