From wildwood to hollywood

I hear the movie isn't bad. I like Johnny Cash, and the Carter family. I don't personally wish ill upon Joaquin Phoenix or Reese Witherspoon; they may be very nice people.

But I think I have to issue a fatwa that it is against the will of God for Mr. Phoenix to sing Johnny Cash and Ms. Witherspoon to sing as June Carter on the soundtrack.

I saw a screening last week and the movie isn't so bueno. You should probably skip it. Reese Witherspoon is surprisingly great, but the rest of the casting was hard to watch. The guys who play Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis and completely wrong and Joaquin Phoenix is especially hard to believe when he sings. You will be bored and frustrated.

For an excellent biopic experience, go see Capote - it is beautifully shot and the acting is superb. Good Night and Good Luck is really well done also.

I hear Capote is great, yeah. Thanks for reminding me.

Your blog doesn't work! It makes thingies all over the screen instead of a web page. I think the wookie got bent.

I'll second the recommendation of Capote.

To those not happy about the Johnny Cash movie, I just want to point out that it's all relative. This is a much better idea than Mike Myers as Keith Moon. Pardon me while I twitch.

They didn't re-record Who songs with him drumming, at least.
