As a die-hard River Phoenix fan, that picture of James by the Idaho road makes me so sad. I don't know why. I guess River and James are my two ideal actors... and it's like the past and present coming together in a really chilling way.
Anyway, I'm really excited to see Howl. I'm really compelled by the image of James as Ginsberg. I can't imagine it in motion yet but it interests me.
I'm not at all excited about his comedy films. He's a great comedic actor and everything but I think his power really lies in dramatic roles. He could be great if he stuck with that and I guess I just worry about these comedy films being rom-com flops and putting him back a few steps. I dunno...
Anyway, the sleeping lecture picture is great. What's funnier is that some student must have taken it with their camera phone! Honestly, if James was in any of my English lit classes I wouldn't learn a god damn thing! Ahna must be so paranoid, considering they're living on seperate coasts!
It makes me smile to see James doing so well, even though the weird thing is now he's more famous I'm actually way less aware of him than I was four-five years ago!
