And if I go around with you, you know that I get messed up, too

No.... no... nooooooo.

This probably isn't going to be good, is it?

(To clarify: I don't really know who Joe Cornish is. People keep saying he did Attack the Block, but that doesn't mean anything to me. Oh, and, er, apparently he's the Joe of Adam and Joe. That surprised me.

I just can't currently conceive of a film version of Snow Crash which doesn't suck.)

He reckoned Roland Gift

Whooo?

Oh yeah, him out the FYC. I could see that. I'm not sure I'm really that bothered about the character being exactly the right ethnicity as some people seem to be, though.

IIRC he wasn't hung up on it being exactly (which Gift isn't, as far as I can tell) but thought plausibly mixed-race and able to act (presumably he was impressed by Sammy And Rosie Get Laid) was a good combination.

I thought Gift was terrible in that film! He just stood around looking like a preening piece of wallpaper. Even Keanu would have been better.

(Still, each to their own I guess. Maybe Stephenson just likes that kind of wallpaper.)
