Grab the book nearest you. Right now. Turn to page 56. Find the fifth sentence. Post that sentence along with these instructions in your LiveJournal. Don't dig for your favorite book, the coolest, the most intellectual. Use the CLOSEST.

"He'll let you do that?"

Well, it's on DVD now, and worth your while--I love Ed Harris and Viggo Mortensen, and Renee Zellweger's annoyance factor is actually part of the narrative.

Just watched. Beautifully shot and quite awesome. (And Lance Henriksen!) Do you by any chance have a recording of the end-credits song?

I don't! I sort of wish I did. (Occasionally, I find myself humming: "You like to take your clothes off and you do it quite a bit...")

I sort of wish I did.

I got lucky with my songcatching mojo: "You'll Never Leave My Heart" and "Ain't Nothin' Like a Friend." You're right: the former is really catchy . . .

(The latter appears to be performed by Donald Rubinstein, co-written by him and Ed Harris. Feel free to ignore it; I grabbed it because I wasn't sure what it was.)

Thank you! The first one is, indeed, one of the most awesome end-credits songs ever. It's that moment when you realize: "Oh shit, that's supposed to be Virgil...and it totally IS..." which makes it work.;)
