"The drain of talent - pure talent - from one single department, Feature Animation, has been absolutely gut-wrenching in the past year. People are being asked to leave because management - meaning Michael Eisner - can't figure out what to do with them.

Gee--an animation-challenged casting call. Wouldn't that be interesting. . .

Yes, we all believe - in ghosts. I see them all the time on TV. Some are very much better than the Live talent of today, eh?

Hey, Laurence Olivier was in Sky Captain in the World of Tomorrow, made in 2004, wasn't he? :-).

(you should all see that movie; very under-rated.)

Okay, okay. Stop beating me up for my choice as Clarisse. The truth is I'm totally out of touch with today's stars. The only reason I know about Avril and Hillary is because my 12 year old son has a crush on them. I did see Avril on SATURDAY NITE LIVE last year and she seemed to be full of positive energy, or was it just teenage angst. She sang a song called SK8TR BOY.

Has anyone considered the Simpsons or even the Flintstones? MixedSignals46

I think that "PoopF*&$" guy is right... That would be an interesting cast alright. That's a very offensive name though. Maybe you should drink some dish soap and call me in the morning PoopF*&$... MixedSignals46

Adrian Brody is perfect for Montag. He's reserved, brooding, pensive, and sad. I just saw KING KONG the other day, and man they really wasted his talents as the "Jack" character. Jeff Bridges as "Jack" had much more depth. Not that he's a better actor, the seventies version just had a better script for Jack and he played a much bigger role in the film. Peter Jackson's version has too many other characters for Jack to shine or stand out. He's kind of lost in the shuffle. Still, a great movie. Didn't like the death scene, not sad enough.
