...and now for another episode of When Apples Met Oranges, starring Tom Hanks and Paul Gross.

I'm ecstatic (and very unsurprised) that Slings & Arrows is getting yet another rave review.

But, um.

The main player in ``Slings'' is actor-turned-director Geoffrey Tennant (Paul Gross, a Canadian Tom Hanks best known in this country for the TV cult claassic ``Due South''), who became interim artistic director of the festival....

I really like Tom Hanks (Philadelphia is one of my very, very favourite movies in the world). Very talented guy, and from everything I've heard, a very nice guy. But he and Paul Gross are nothing alike (aside from being talented and, hopefully, nice). Their acting styles are completely different, they don't look anything alike, they don't sound anything alike. WTF? It's also a bad way to promote the series, because not everyone likes Tom Hanks. Not to mention that Tom Hanks as Geoffrey makes me wince a little, no matter how much I like him as an actor. To be fair, Paul Gross as Forrest Gump makes me wince a lot.

I could send you the computer files, if you want them. I'm already uploading Cold Comfort in case you did.

I've been at the Denver airport, but I guess that doesn't count. :) I'm supposed to be going to Cape Breton in the fall, but I may have to pull it back a bit since my DIL is expecting a baby on Oct. 15. It seems every time I want to go to Canada I can't; it's been eight years, way too long.

I don't remember the dream conversation, alas. He looked happy, though, so he probably wasn't bored. I dreamed I kissed Alex Krycek once, which is about as sexy of a dream as I get. Not fair, I say.

I would love to get Cold Comfort and Murder most likely. I just can't burn it but I know someone who can. Thanks for putting those up for me. I was so sad when that place we all love (s-closet) got busted. I just liked knowing those things were there.
Oh - I've had lots of supersexy dreams but that comes from reading so much fanfic! hee! I daydream during boring classes and it's always x-rated RayK/Benton stuff. It keeps me sane!
That is not good that you have to miss the festival this year but a new grandchild is well worth the wait. Congrats on that - it's always something to get excited about.

Well my work computer underwent a spectacular crash today and I don't think my home laptop can handle a movie at this time so you don't need to send me those files at this point.
*kicks work computer, then self for not backing up since November*

Well, darn. Let me know when you want it, because it's uploaded anyway.
