Elijah on Conan, bitching about his resemblance to Daniel Radcliffe


So cute!

By the by, should anyone actually want to watch An Open Secret, the documentary Elijah was referencing in his now-exploded bit of interview, I found it on the web and can upload it if you want to watch it.

If you want to. I kinda wish I hadn't, but then again, I'm glad to know what it said. Because... FUCK ME. I am never telling a kid they should try Hollywood again. NEVER. You'll have to be an adult to get THAT fucking piece of advice from me from now on. And even then, I'll tell you to watch your ass.

Recently I made some remarks about Elijah's choice of residence, and how disappointed I am in him for it. I would not have expected him to be so insular and uninformed that he wouldn't know why downtown L.A. is such an ugly choice.

For those of you who don't know what's going on down there, here's a link that lays a lot of it out:


Skid Row, the homeless in L.A., and how the influx of Pretty And Rich is making life so much worse


This is not a new thing, but it's been accelerating over the last few years. I avoid the glitzy playground because, to be frank, I couldn't trust myself not to lay into those entitled richies and their assumption that no one else's life matters when it comes to their little whims.

How many cities have seen this happen? The rich decide to "clean up" a neighborhood by taking over the living accommodations that - however humble - give the poor a place to be. And with those dwellings go all the services that helped those poor people, because who needs 'em now, right? Then after a few years, the richies get bored and decide to move somewhere else, because they FUCKING CAN. And the area falls back again, but now the community that was there is gone, the services are gone, and the equilibrium that was established over decades is kaput. And of course, the people who used to live and work there are now doubly poor, the homeless are persecuted by the cops and by draconian laws enacted to make life NICE AND CLEAN for the fucking richies, who don't want to admit that their asshattery ruins lives. Rinse, repeat, endlessly.

Why the FUCK can't rich people just stay in their own fucking neighborhoods and stop with this egocentric OMG WE GON MAKE IT BETTER bullshit, I don't know. They really do think the world belongs to them, is exclusively their playground, and that no one else matters.

And yeah, I'm kind of pissed at Elijah for jumping into that. I mean seriously - DUDE. *glares*

LOL. Just looking at the Netflix page for Elijah's film The Last Witch Hunter, and reading the user reviews. One guy talked mostly about Vin Diesel, but also added this little bon mot:

Elijah Wood plays the creepy little guy he's so good at.

AHAHA. Dude's clearly been keeping up with our darling's movies over the past few years. Man, I would never have thought that that sweet, serious little boy would gravitate towards playing weirdoes and freaks in all these weirdly unhinged movies.

*sporfle*

Hhhokay. So.

When I went to DuckDuckGo to find the right pic of Elijah for my Thanksgiving post yesterday, I came across this:





and stopped dead in my tracks. I've never seen this pic before. Isn't it lovely?

*sigh*

Remember this?

That picture served up a lot of inspiration. But in my thinking that it's time to shift over to Casey's point of view for a while, I went looking for another pic. After a false start of about a week with a picture that did pretty much the opposite of what I wanted - it stonewalled me, basically - my desktop now looks like this:





That is a picture of the Casey in my stories, three or four years after he leaves Herrington. I've been getting some interesting stuff from it. Like Zeke, there's more to Casey than I thought.

And also, it's just fucking yummy. >;)~

Just watched this film last night. WOW.

Let's just stipulate the obvious: ( SPOILERS AHEAD )

Here's something I unearthed while looking through some old folders: a 30-second ad for Tommy Hilfiger Jeans, in which the young members of the Faculty cast play a bunch of bitchy, spoiled models whining about fucking everything. Josh has a great 3-second silent tantrum. It's very cute.

Enjoy the cute little time capsule!
