A few musings from Kansas by a high school literature teacher. Over the past few months, this blog has turned a commentary on media. I will probably continue to focus on film and television, but books and music might sneak in... By the way - If you would like me to post on a regular basis - please comment, even if it's just to say, "Hi." If my audience disappears, I lose the motivation to write! Thanks!

I am a Literature teacher in Kansas. Currently, I am wondering if it is possible to communicate a passion for Lit in a way that my students will catch the same passion...or any passion for that matter! :-) (Ahh - the joys of communicating a deep love of language to high school students with the added challenge of quite possibly having the worst spelling in the history of English teachers. ) :-)

Interesting. I keep hoping this will come out right. When I heard they cast Grammar as Beast, I thought it was absolutely brilliant. This sounds like they may have a good grasp on his character.
3 more months to go :)
Yep, I thought the same thing about Grammer. I really think he'll do a great job. I love the character of Hank McCoy. When I learned that Singer had left, my expectations tanked. But the buzz seems to be pretty good. I just wish the whole thing wasn't so rushed. (and that they had hired Joss Whedon, like they should have!)
I'm much more excited about the movie now. It's easy to miss the quality of actors in this cast. 3 of them are trained as Shakespearean actors, if I'm not mistaken.
Yes, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, and Grammer. Not to mention Anna Paquin and Hugh Jackman. Good cast. :-)
This picture scares me.
Just think of him as Frasier, with a strange make-up job. :-)
