So, has anyone been following the hoopla over the Fifty Shades of Grey film adaptation? The lead roles have been cast, as you probably know.

Christian Grey will be played by Charlie Hunnam, who is a decent looking kid, but I'm old enough to be his mother. I just don't see him and think of all the self-deprecating things I would be willing to do for him. Call me an old prude. I'm okay with that.
Dakota Johnson, who I have been mistakenly calling Dakota Fanning all day long, has been cast as Anastasia Steele. Now, if you are of my generation, you know Dakota as Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith's little girl. Therefore, something about this just feels wrong. Seriously people, how are you all going to feel in 15-20 years if you see Shiloh Jolie-Pitt on the big screen being treated that way? Or, I don't know...Seraphina Affleck? See what I mean? It just feels wrong!
Be that as it may, I wish them all the best of luck.
With Scenes From Highland Fall's big release today, people have been asking me when they can expect an Abigail Phelps movie. Really? How would we go about that?

Who could play this guy besides...

...this guy?
(Wow...you are looking like your dad, my friend.)

Who can do this guy justice other than...
Never mind. Not even this guy can do this guy justice.

This guy looks almost exactly like he did in 1984, except somehow cuter.
And blonder.
And more boyish.
But he's busy.
And not an actor.
And no doubt rolling his eyes at me as he reads this.

And just who exactly do you think you're going to get to play that guy?
So you see the problem.
Having said that, never one to miss out on an enterprising opportunity, I know exactly how to make it work, and I have the big showstopping number written already.
Just kidding. Or am I??
