I'm excited about this movie.

Bettie Page was gorgeous.

Should be a fun movie, too.

I think Gretchen Mol will be a good Bettie.

I always thought Rose McGowan would have made a really good Betty Page. Jennifer Connelly actually played "Jenny" in The Rocketeer (1991), a character that in the Rocketeer comic book was based on Betty Page. Rent it wand see for yourself, Jennifer Connelly was essentially playing Betty Page, sort of. Not that I know anything about that kind of stuff. Cause, uh, ahem, I'm not weird or anything. Gotta go.

You're right about Rose.
She'd be great.

Of COURSE you don't know anything about that.

I'm not really into Gretchen Mol, but Rose Troche and Mary Harron are behind this, so it ought to be pretty good.

Hopefully E! will finally rerun the Bettie Page True Hollywood Story, which I never got to see in its entirety. It's got narration from Bettie herself, who has an unfortunate redneck accent. She won't let anyone photograph her now that she's old and presumably no longer beautiful. Mysterious!
