Fletch, your Catherine Keener fan-hood predates my own. “Out of Sight” is my second-favorite Elmore Leonard adaptation, right behind “Get Shorty.”

I liked “Into the Wild,” though I really didn’t want to see it. I had to get dragged into it by my wife, who sometimes knows what’s good for me better than I do.

I’m proud (I guess) to be able to say that I’ve been a fan of Keener’s since Living in Oblivion and Box of Moonlight (a favorite of mine in the “no one has seen it” category – stars Jon Turturro and Sam Rockwell). Out of Sight (an all time favorite) and Your Friends and Neighbors (back when Neil LaBute was good) sealed it.

I really need to see Into the Wild already. Somehow, I missed both that and Jesse James last year and still have yet to see either. Boo me.

Yeah, I know … what a piece of crap. Keener doesn’t elevate it too high …

Fox, that’s Keener and I … “Keener and I don’t get your second to the last comment”

I hope you’ve taken her over to “I can has Cheezburger.” I hear it just drives the chicks wild.

Uh… me and Keener don’t get your second to last comment Rick.

Oh yeah! She’s over at my house now. We’re making out and looking at blogs. We’re about to go swimming… hope your day is goings as good as mine… toodles.

That’s what the blogosphere is so good at, Pat … speculative B.S. In fact, I would say that speculative B.S. is it’s main export.

Rick – Hey, no worries – I’ve certainly contributed my share of speculative BSing to the blogosphere.

I’ll be anxious to hear what you think of “Hamlet 2.”

Rick-

I just Twitter’d with Keener, and she said that I’m “probably right” about the Malkovich thing.

Also… I gave her your blog address, so don’t be surprised if she stops by soon! Don’t be nervous!
