Shutter Island
why did I read the book? If I'd known Scorsese was making a movie out of it, I so wouldn't have. I'm guessing that watching the movie after having read Patient 67 will be a totally different story. It was a couple of years ago I read it though, so I don't exactly remember all. But I did not picture Leonardo DiCaprio, excellent actor, one of the best but damned, there's something about him that grates me. Maybe because he has such childlike features? There's something about him that just make me refuse to see him as grown up, ever. Or maybe it's that Titanic will always be a major 'eeeek, romantic drivel of the worst kind,' movie for me. Now George Eads in that role? *flails and hyperventilates and goes down for the count* But he's admittedly too fricken hotass to play a plain man, so yeah, I guess DiCaprio is just right for the role.
Scorsese is a master - his visual storytelling alone floors me. I want GE and JPad to be cast as anyone in one of his movies. They can project the darkness that Scorsese loves to play around with. Can I suggest George as a disillusioned psychiatrist/detective involved in a case of sinister mob-leader JPad? You can skip the usual mother the sin of all the sons craziness and have him be the victim of life on the streets and the subsequent lack of access to society as the root to his problems. Have him just return home from war, where street morals of kill or be killed worked just fine, to face the civil life without the codes of conduct. The psychiatrist/detective can be the victim of fatherly or motherly psychological abuse. I want Gen Cortese to be involved too, like GE's much younger little, over-achieving, sister who impersonates everything JPad's character wants in a woman, heh! No? Damn.
I can just see the two of them connecting on some deeper level; darkness to darkness, tamed vs. untamed inner rage. The eye-acting alone would probably kill me. A panorama with the close up of GE's badass squinting, concealing empathy to JPad's barely contained emotionality. Add Gary Dourdan's green eyed skeptical concern as a mirror for society = Dead fangirl.
I can't believe I'm sitting here - making a Scorsese-script up in my head while waiting for the veggo-lasagna to get ready. *laughs at self*
And Tutankhamen died of malaria and had malformed feet? Why did the romantic notion suddenly get very bleak? *g*
I got feedback on ff for a story I wrote in 2006, Just this once, oh wow! I've been at this far too long. Isn't fanficcing supposed to be a thing you get over? *facepalm*
