Trivia: Leonardo di Caprio was offered the role of Matthew (played by Michael Pitt)...they KIND OF remind me of each other in some ways, I'm glad it was Michael who played him though.
Yeah, I can see that as they both have that girly boy look which I find quite appealing. I like them both actually, but Michael is hot, whereas Leo is not. imo. But what do I know?.
I had myself a mini movie marathon last night. I rarely buy DVD's anymore, but just had to buy this in a moment of weakness:
After my recent revisiting of various Brittany Murphy films, both good and bad, I searched imd for something a bit more recent which wasn't a lame looking chick flick. I'm not interested in things like The Ramen Girl etc, as that's not how I care to remember her. I preferred her edgier, more daring roles, as I think she had a lot more to offer than most people gave her credit for. It's just a shame that she also seemed to buy into that typical Hollywood bimbo schtick during more recent times. She was way better than that.
Anyway, during my search I discovered The Dead Girl. It has a strong cast with the likes of Toni Collette, Piper Laurie, Giovanni Ribisi, and Josh Brolin. All of which I'm rather fond of. It takes a look at how one persons actions can devastate the lives of everybody connected to it. It was really rather good, and somewhat sad to watch in places given the circumstances. But I am prone to punishing myself.

Then something to cheer me up because there's nothing like a bit of variety, but still continuing with the death theme. :D
I've always loved Joan Plowright in this film. So fucking funny.
And then I passed out with a bottle of red wine to:
I can't believe it's eight years old already!.
