Frankly, My Dear…

A group of producers have secured the rights from the Margaret Mitchell estate and plan to produce a musical, using the book, in 2008.

Hugh Jackman will play Rhett and Jill Pace, who is said to resemble Vivian Leigh, might  be Scarlett.

It will center on the slaves at Tara and be closer to the novel.

I’ll reserve judgement, but GWTW is such a great movie I don’t see how it can be improved on. With all the remakes, I’m sure this isn’t the only idea that’s been thrown out, but replacing Clark Gable and Vivian Leigh–and all the others who seem perfect for this movie? Doesn’t seem doable!

I plan to go see my favorite movie at the Alabama Theatre this summer. If you haven’t seen it on a big screen….you haven’t seen it in all its glory! And certain parts can still make me tear up!

Frankly, my dear, it is the best!

Some time ago, he mentioned that there was a fox that would frequent their FOB and it seemed to have a collar on. I asked if there was a chance that it could have a camera in it and being used by insurgents. Too James Bondish? Well, he never answered me and I somehow get the feeling that he’s still getting a good laugh off that!

Update: Jack Army has an answer for those who say they support the troops but not the war.
