I’m about a few months too late, but I can’t say I’m happy hearing the news about a remake of the 1964 musical My Fair Lady, being in the works. And that Keira Knightley is being considered to portray Eliza Doolittle.

I was less thrilled when I found out that George Clooney and Brad Pitt are fighting over the role of Henry Higgins - and Brad Pitt wants Angelina Jolie to play Eliza Doolittle.

It just doesn’t hold any appeal. Perhaps I’m being too quick to judge, but I can’t see Keira Knightley or Angelina Jolie surpassing Audrey Hepburn’s performance. I can’t even think of anyone who would be suitable to play Professor Henry Higgins. I sure as hell wouldn’t choose Clooney or Pitt. The film just seems too iconic and already perfect the way it is, that a remake would just probably ruin the story.

…Of course, that’s just my opinion.

Oh, look. This is my last post for the month of October. :)

Perhaps you’d like some information on linear motion.

My brother’s 23rd birthday is on the 30th. We were trying to think of something to do, to celebrate. Two weeks ago, we decided we’d have a retro costume party, which was reasonable since his actual birthday is on the day before Halloween.

My brother went as a hippie, and I went as… an Austin Powers girl (this is according to my brother’s judgment). I think I looked like a complete retard.

But it was fun, a great reason for shopping (I got most of the stuff I wore 50% off, my dress was 60% off), and a great reason to dress weird. :D

Photos can be found after the cut :)

I don’t go to movie theaters often. The thing about our family is, we all seem to be stuck in the past - entertainment-wise. My father and I like to bond over classic movies (particularly that of Hitchcock and Cukor). I have a deep admiration for Grace Kelly. My older brother and I are fans of The Beatles, Blondie, The Sex Pistols, and Jethro Tull.

My DVD collection includes 32 Alfred Hitchcock suspense flicks, Gone With The Wind, Wuthering Heights, My Fair Lady, a few horror flicks… and Garden State.

While shopping for my costume for my brother’s 70s party tomorrow (I’m going to wear a purple and white dress, yellow tights, pumps, an orange headband and large hoop earrings), Jeremiah and I decided to go DVD shopping as well.

The good news: they lowered the prices on the classic titles.

The bad news: I couldn’t find a DVD of To Kill A Mockingbird. :(

Still, I walked out of the shop feeling very happy. The new additions to my DVD collection:

• Casablanca (which is actually a gift from Jeremiah)
• Breakfast at Tiffany’s
• Roman Holiday (I got that instead of To Kill A Mockingbird. It still has Gregory Peck.)
• Sabrina
• Funny Face
• Charade

…Audrey Hepburn is trying to dominate my collection. She won’t beat Hitchcock’s reign, though. :D

For your luggage needs. :)
