A Little Nonsense now and then is Cherished by the Wisest Man
I've seen the trailer for the new Charlie and the Chocolate Factory movie. It stars Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka and will be directed by Tim Burton. I'm so excited. June 15th! I am THERE.
Apparently Marilyn Manson wanted the Wonka role super badly. I really can't say how good of job he would've done with it. I think Johnny Depp was a good choice. I don't think I've ever seen Johnny Depp do a role I didn't like. ANYway... so that's something to look forward to.
I currently have my attention directed to 'AZTEC'(Working Title), my novel about the cannibalistic serial killer in set in a small town. It's looking to be a sort of Fargo/Twin Peaks/Hannibal Lecter sort of thing. Although I have yet to decide if the cannibal is 'high brow' or 'low brow'. If we want to keep the title meaningful(the original intent) our cannibal will probably be a dirty recluse who's doing this for 'religious purposes'. Cerimonial cannibalism. Or we can make him a Hannibal Lecter sort, where he figures it's an indication of his intelligence. Which really creates an interesting piece of irony and would be fun to play with: Someone highly civilized engaging in an activity that has been regarded as savage, foul and vulgar. Hmm... That would be an interesting angle to take on.
Well-- Once the blog for the Aztec is up, there'll be all sorts of little monologues like this one intended to help me keep the book's theme in focus and to keep the plot rolling.
I really can't think of anything else too terribly exciting to report.
Other than we're hoping for our eggs to hatch sometime next week. peep! peep! peep! peep!
The brooder's been built. Next will be the coop.
ANYway....
I've got some more exposition to write.
