I put that scene there because only with Ennis beaten, drugged, and relaxing in his own bed would he ever be caught flat footed enough to blurt out that response!

74 views...we only need 74 views to pass the performance...and they tend to be quieter during the day. So we'll make that in no time. We are still creeping up on NC17 in replies and have a way to go...

Oooo!    I think we found the cover artwork for the Hardcover book edition !!!

[louisev]

yes but I think the underwear model might object!  "Hey, that isn't Heath Ledger, that's... that's MY sixpack!"

Then he runs down to his agent... "Somebody stole my sixpack!"

That's OK Louisev,   When we get Hugh and Heath to sign up for the Movie, we'll have them pose for the book cover too!

Well, maybe we could get Diana Ossana hooked on E&E so she'll write the screenplay!

I think Louise would do a fine job of writing the screenplay. She has the dialog down pat and the story is there. The problem will be how to condense the story (even if we do it as each book as a movie) into 120+ minutes. This is the challenge the Harry Potter folks faced...taking a very full, complete, and rich story and figuring out which elements were essential to translate it into a movie.

Well, I had suggested Diana Ossana only because she has the right connections already with Ang Lee,  James Shamus (at Focus Features)  and Heath.

that's okay David, I forgive you
